Finally, we urge SM Entertainment and its employees to demonstrate the necessary corporate social and ethical responsibilities as an entertainment company on the global stage.

We strongly believe this to be true. If CBX becomes unable to participate in group activities, we will attribute all responsibility to SM Entertainment.
We ask that EXO-Ls and fans alike stand together for EXO-CBX no matter what happens. Help them get the justice they deserve and let their voices and truths be heard. Again, this is not only for the members, but also for all SM Entertainment artists, those who are afraid, those who are frightened, and those who muster up the courage to face the injustice they face.
