SM Entertainment’s Performance Director Tweets About EXO’s Current Situation

SM Entertainment’s Performance Director Tweets About EXO’s Current Situation
Greg Hwang, a choreographer at SM Entertainment, revealed his thoughts about the current EXO situation and Kris’s lawsuit.
On May 18, Greg Hwang posted on his personal Twitter, “It is his [Kris] own personal choice, nothing more and nothing less. Under the same conditions, 11 are staying and 1 is leaving…The minority is weak and the majority is strong? It’s the strong vs. the weak? I don’t think those things apply to this situation. It’s simply his decision. He left without a word and now the rest of them [EXO] are confused and sad…”
Earlier, on May 15, Kris filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to terminate his exclusive contract with the company. In response to this, SM Entertainment revealed their position, “We are looking into the situation and we are taken aback. We will try our best to ensure that EXO’s activities will continue well.”
On May 11, Kris and the rest of EXO completed their comeback show in China and were scheduled to return to Korea the next day. However, Kris is still currently in China for the reason that he wants to spend time with his family there.
Meanwhile, EXO’s first solo concert “EXO FROM. EXOPLANET #1 – THE LOST PLANETwill go on as planned, with Kris’s attendance uncertain, for three days on May 23-25 at theSeoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium

Bulgogi for my main course, and a plate of japchae on the side. That was it. But thanks to our two trips to Seoul, in 2015 and 2017, my Korean food vocabulary has expanded to over 40 dishes. As delicious and universally appealing as Korean barbecue is, I’ve learned that there’s so much more to the cuisine than just bulgogi and  galbi . Things like  ganjang gejang ,  jokbal , and  naengmyeon aren’t as well known outside of Korea but they are dishes well worth flying for. Ganjang gejang was particularly memorable. After waiting two years to try it, you’d think
