I mean we've been knew he was waiting for that contract to end. He really played the long game like so much discipline like damn imagine staying in a job you don't really care about for so long

[mortkero]

Was he ever actually doing anything for the job? I mean aside from that awkward choreo insert

[mil_lay]

I think he was paying SM a cut of his profits from his solo work

[marsdiamonds]

Didn’t even know he was still with them

[ah0000]

i assume SM must have gotten a big chunk of his china money, otherwise why would they let him do whatever he wanted to do in china/not do anything in korea

It's a bit depressing watching EXO fizzle out member by member throughout the years. I never paid attention to Lay, but good luck to future projects, etc.

everyone on twitter was screaming about an exo member leaving and i had a mental breakdown for 2 minutes until i learned it was him lmaoooo good riddance!
