[Pann] Lay sets up his own agency in China?

Pann: The truth about Tao who was too injured and had to rest from EXO promos

"He eats and walks well. His injury was apparently grave enough for him to even step out from radio and starcast, both of which you only need to sit for, but he's walking well in the pictures.

On the other hand, Lay even set up his own personal agency.

Investor: Zhang Yixing

Everything is under his name right now.

It seems like SM is nervous right now. The fact that he set up his own agency means that it will affect his group. He's probably threatening SM that he'll leave so SM's catering to him and holding him down by letting him set up his own agency.

Problems with a personal agency:

1. Personal promos: the other members have to deal with SM while Lay can decide for his own.
2. Personal income: the other members must distribute with the company while Lay takes it all for himself.
3. Team promotions: the other members can't opt out unless special circumstances while Lay can leave whenever he wants.

If you think about it, the issue of a personal agency is more serious than simply leaving the group since it involves money and can cause fandom division."

1. [+81, -12] I, too, thought that Lay was selfish. Since it is a one-man agency. Even if he meant it with positive intentions, I already knew how the public would react to it and how fans, in a situation with many scandals already, would take it. Lay has, however, shown us actions that have shown we can trust him and SM has responded to our concerns so I trust him too. SM said so themselves that it isn't it so fans shouldn't be so quick to turn their backs on him. And as for Tao.... ㅋㅋㅋ Why would you treat him like a fake patient.

2. [+77, -6] That's Tao's manager next to him. He's not eating out with his friends but his manager Yongmin.

3. [+69, -7] I'm not a fan but Tao really does seem hurt. I saw pictures a few days ago where he was at a pharmacy without his manager on crutches. As for Lay, I'm not sure what's going on.

4. [+34, -6] Sigh, fans are so dumb and naive. Why would SM ever explicitly state in the news that they set him up his own company in case he leaves EXO? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why not do the same for Tao, Zhou Mi, or Victoria too? The fact that SM is giving Lay all this special treatment is obvious... SM has the weaker deal right now because Lay's threatening them with something bigger. Stop setting yourselves up for another traitor situation and think of this objectively.

5. [+33, -4] After being betrayed so hard by the two, I can't 100% trust the remaining Chinese members... I can't believe someone in a group set up his own personal agency..

6. [+26, -6] With two already left, it seems like Lay's threatening SM to leave as a weapon. SM seriously can't deal with another member leaving but I wish they'd stop pandering to the Chinese members like this.

7. [+23, -3] Luhan acted like he'd stay with the team on Happy Camp and all the concert tours saying they'd be forever before leaving so I've given up on M...

8. [+19, -3] It's because fans are so naive that even after Kris leaving, they still trusted Luhan before he left too ㅋㅋㅋ Lay's probably setting up his own deals with EXO and setting up his own agency ㅋㅋㅋ Why would SM so easily let a member set up his own agency? If they were so easy like that, Jessica wouldn't have left either ㅋㅋㅋ
