oh man this is just hilarious, so everything was what, some sort of media play? And for who, Korea? For what? Neither Kris and Luhan are going to work there and China doesn't give a fuck about SM's "taking my toys" tactics.
some people were saying they were suing kans and possibly more companies that hired them, not luhan/kris themselves. in which case i wouldn't expect luhan's lawyers to receive notice of a lawsuit that doesn't exist.
we don't get to see Luhan and Kris articles anymore now that they peaced out of exo, but boy is it amusing when they grace us with their presence on omona.
I'm so pissed off at how they treated Luhan especially, but M in general. Is M ever actually going to promote as a unit? Why do I even bother stanning SM groups it leads to nothing but anger.
the news never said that a lawsuit was filed against kris anyway so i'm not surprised. i think those who use koreaboo should cross check their translations with several other sites for accuracy bc i keep on seeing them mistranslating and sensationalizing their news.
can't remember where I read it but someone pointed out they're probably mistranslating it on purpose to get those views. I mean this translation was way off. problem is most exo-l's I know knew it was mistranslated but it is the anti's and non-exo fans spreading the misinformation, who are the ones who actually have negative feelings about LH and WYF (which I still don't get but w/e).
Well, seems like SM's throwing threats left and right but Luhan, Kris and all the 10000000billions ¥ companies working with them have yet to be bothered by SM's minions.
Meanwhile, seems like mediation sessions between ludakris' lawyer and SM are still going strong though they're very obviously going straight into a thick brick wall.
I thought the timing of the announcement was sketchy to begin with and it seems I'm right.I highly doubt companies would've taken them on as spokesmodels if there was doubt to the legality of their contracting.You think Lancome would've shelled out for Kris if they knew he wasn't a free agent? Re: Luhan and Kans, I'm not sure how the state of Lu and Kris' contracts are with Nature Republic considering they've been removed from most of the merch.If it's still intact despite the lawsuit than there may be trouble.Although both of them are endorsing cosmetic brands and SM is only going after Luhan.So maybe Kris has an injunction but Lu doesn't/hasn't been approved?The pictures thing was a mess and it's their right to sue but Luhan didn't choose what pictures they used in ads, that would be a company vs SM lawsuit At least Kris is safe from this mess anyways, praying for you Baby Lu.
Ok but real talk I'm just starting to get into stanning Kris and I'm glad he left bc now I don't have to squint through 10+ backup dancers to see his perfect face. We get hd solo pics now every week, God is good.
uhh, since I've never been sued I wouldn't know...but would 24hrs be long enough to receive notification that you're being sued? I mean, isn't there red tape and bureaucracy ish that has to be dealt with?
But you would have to actually have done all that and have served them before conceivably releasing a statement you've sued someone. That's how I see it, I was on the brink of suing someone before and the process is you have to serve them papers to inform them and if they reject any settlement then you process the paperwork with a court. So that's how it works in the US , I doubt it's drastically different elsewhere

well someone looks stupid right now
edit: there were also translations from earlier today (i don't know what original source though) saying that krishan's lawyers backtracked and said they never interviewed the media. lol.
This just gets juicier and juicier /steeples fingers/ Tbh I don't see it going anywhere. Suing these companies is way easier than the rumors flying of SM trying to sue Baidu, Tencent and etc but if it's over the case of using Luhan's pictures from when he was under EXO I can see it being settled out of court with just a slap on the wrist.
if SM is filing in Shanghai court, wouldn't it be about Kans the company? and if SM want to sue Luhan regarding 'illegal activities' they have to sue him in Korean court because thats where they signed the exclusive contract with him?
Otherwise i don't see how Shanghai has jurisdiction over Luhan's contract with SM. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though
