SEOUL, Sept. 23 (Korea Bizwire) – SM Entertainment has filed a suit against Tao, an ex-member of the group EXO, and the Chinese production company that enabled his illegal activities.
SM announced that the suit it filed against Tao and a Chinese album production company at a Beijing court in China had been officially submitted.
The company added that it has issued a statement in China in order to protect the rights and interests of SM and EXO from the illegal activities of Tao. “Tao started to make an album and was also active in collusion with another company, breaking away from the company and the team. He also filed a suit against us on August 24 at the Seoul Central District Court. Until the court gives its final ruling, the contract between us is valid and Tao cannot continue his illegal activities.”
