EXO-CBX Members Take INB100 Contract Dispute to Seoul Court
Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin are three singers in the group EXO-CBX.
They are having a disagreement with their agency, INB100.
The singers say some settlement payments have not been paid.
They told the agency they wanted to end their contracts.
INB100 did not accept the termination.
The singers therefore asked a Seoul court to pause the contracts temporarily.
The court heard the case on September 7.
This dispute is also connected to an older disagreement with SM Entertainment.
Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin filed to temporarily suspend their exclusive contracts with INB100.
The application was heard at the Seoul Central District Court on September 7.
The trio reportedly says settlement payments from INB100 remain unpaid.
The members had notified INB100 that they intended to terminate their agreements, but the termination was not accepted.
The case is separate from, but connected to, EXO-CBX’s longer dispute with former agency SM Entertainment.
