Luhan a member of EXO-M filed a lawsuit on October 10, 2014 at the Seoul Central Court to nullify his contract with SM Entertainment. It is noted that this type of lawsuit is the same one that was submitted by former EXO member Kris. The same law firm that handled Kris' case will also handle Luhan's.
Here is SM's official statement about the lawsuit:
"The agency learned of Luhan's lawsuit through a lawyer.
We are shocked because the lawsuit was suddenly filed while we were in the process of negotiating his future schedules and activities after he expressed his wishes to focus more on his individual activities in China more so than EXO group activities as well as matters concerning his health.
As it was with Kris's case, when a lawsuit is filed for no actual reason by using the same pattern and lawyers after a gaining a lot of popularity as a star through group activities, we see this as a suit that was filed because of one prioritizing one's self and ignoring the understanding of the contract with the agency as well as everyone involved in the contract and the activities with the group. We believe there is someone behind the scenes who is pulling the strings.
Regarding these kinds of situations, the agency plans to actively respond to them with our partners overseas including those in China as well as legal experts.
EXO's future activities will also proceed on as scheduled.
EXO's Lay leaves a message on Instagram for the fans. Here is the translation: "Everyone, you must be having a hard time. Please be healthy, make sure to eat, and gain strength! I feel that more than anyone else, our fans are going through the most. Be strong!"
Luhan also left a message as well:

Lay updated his Weibo account too and it says: "Brother goodbye! If we have the chance let's stand on stage together again. As brothers, I support your every decision. Good luck".
Luhan's father has also spoken up about the situation. During a interview he had this to say: "I'm supporting my son. There is no decision made yet, but I put my son's opinions first. I supported him when he said he would become a celebrity, and I will keep supporting him."
Super Junior-M's Zhoumi left a message on his Weibo acount: "I wish the best for those who left and those who stayed..."
