INB100 also released a chronology of their efforts to reach an agreement with SM Entertainment: July 9, 2025CBX and INB100 held a face-to-face meeting with SM to discuss the direction and goals of EXO's full promotion.

However, while waiting for news from SM, CBX was surprised by the announcement of an EXO fan meeting and the release of a new album without involving them at all. INB100 admitted this was unexpected and made them have to reassess the true intentions of SM, which unfortunately has not been confirmed until now.

Although there was a previous legal drama, including the defeat of CBX's lawsuit against SM regarding contracts and financial report transparency, INB100 emphasized that the CBX members still want to resolve everything peacefully. They are even willing to adjust their schedules and postpone personal projects in order to perform as EXO together again.

"Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin are taking the path of peace because they want to honor the sincere love from the fans," said INB100. "They truly want to promote together as EXO, and will continue to strive as quickly as possible for that to happen."

Meanwhile, SM denied INB100's statement. SM said their dispute is with the different team activities. SM only requested 10% from individual activities, but this has not been fulfilled by CBX since 2023.

SM also feels that the trust between them has been severely damaged and has a significant impact on EXO, making it impossible to participate in the comeback. So what do you think, KLovers?
