the three exos suing aren't suing on the basis of being a subunit, though? imo exo all went to the law firm with two goals: how to get their paycheck stubs going back a decade, the right to ask questions without sm's manipulation and intimidation tactics, and with the possibility of keeping their brand as a boygroup called exo. my theory is the lawyers in this case took in all the contracts and decided that kim minseok, byun baekhyun, and kim jongdae likely had the most unbearably complicated contracts (then jongin bc of supermarket, then remaining five exos), thus more paths are available (in the eyes of the law) to force sm to hand over the documents the three are demanding, and leave the company.

why sm is concerned: letting their three employees terminate their contract means they lose out on a million-seller idol (baekhyun) and quite possibly an entire boy...

This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.

What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
