EXO leader Suho finds himself in the midst of controversy once again, this time involving members of ChenBaekXi (Chen-Baekhyun-Xiumin).

On June 14th, Suho was set to hold a round of interviews with reporters at his agency to mark the conclusion of the MBN drama 'The Crown Prince Has Disappeared'.

He has been actively promoting his solo mini 3rd album 'Dotted Line (1 to 3)' and recently completed his first solo concert, generating high anticipation for insights from the interview.

However, just hours before the interview, Suho faced unexpected trouble. INB100, the agency representing EXO members Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin as part of ChenBaekXi, announced their decision to sue SM Entertainment, EXO's management company.

INB100 stated, "We will file a lawsuit against SM Entertainment for overdue settlement claims. We seek transparency in financial matters as per our contracts and fair treatment under the law. Our aim is to ensure a fair judgment regarding the fairness of SM's exclusive contracts through this legal process."

This isn't the first time Suho's activities have been disrupted by issues involving ChenBaekXi. Last year, during the musical 'Mozart!', Suho tactfully addressed questions about the group's internal conflicts, emphasizing EXO's solidarity and commitment to delivering great music to their fans.

ChenBaekXi's recent actions have raised concerns within SM Entertainment, particularly regarding potential impacts on other EXO members' solo activities. SM responded, "Despite our efforts to accommodate their activities, including confirming terms with INB100, ChenBaekXi continues to misrepresent our cooperation."

Earlier, INB100 alleged that SM failed to fulfill a 5.5% music distribution commission and unfairly demanded 10% of revenues from ChenBaekXi's individual projects while withholding financial details.

In response, SM defended its stance, accusing INB100 of seeking benefits without fulfilling obligations and taking legal action against Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin for contract violations.

BLACKPINK member Jennie made a special surprise appearance at Zico's concert, leaving fans and even Zico himself in shock!

On November 24, Zico celebrated the 10th anniversary of his solo debut with his concert, "ZICO LIVE: JOIN THE PARADE," at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park. The event was filled with excitement as Zico performed for fans after a long time.

Zico kicked off the night with his hit songs like "New Thing" and warmly greeted the audience. He said, “It’s been so long. I missed you. A solo concert feels so different from other events. I’ve really missed being with you at a concert like this.”

He added, “‘Join the Parade’ is my first solo concert under my name in six years, so it’s very special to me. Plus, this year marks 10 years since my solo debut. My journey in music has felt like a parade, and tonight, I want to show you all of it in different parts.”

Zico thanked his fans, saying, “A parade always has spectators, and I think that’s its most important value. You are my wings, and I’m the body. Let’s fly together and make this the hottest place in the world tonight!”

The crowd erupted with cheers when Jennie unexpectedly joined Zico on stage during his performance of "Freak." Without any prior announcement, Jennie gave a brief but unforgettable performance, lighting up the stage before leaving just as suddenly.

After the show, Zico shared how surprised he was. “I didn’t know Jennie would come on stage. Suddenly, the music director told me through my in-ear monitor to stop singing, and I started imagining all kinds of things. Then Jennie appeared, and I was completely shocked. I even did a stage here that I hadn’t done at the MAMA Awards!”

This concert marked Zico’s first solo event in six years since his 2018 "King Of the Zungle" tour, making it a night to remember for fans. With Jennie's surprise appearance, it became even more unforgettable!
