Lu Han Left by Rebekah Walton

Song to Listen to: https://soundcloud.com/luhunnie/luhan-our-tomorrow

It happened once again. Sometimes, people think that after the first time something happens, all the other times it gets easier to deal with than the first. And I would agree with them to a certain extent. But, that does not mean it does not hurt just because it happened before. If anymore are going to leave, that does not mean I won't cry or have the same reaction I had with Kris and Luhan, I may even want to not give anymore up. But, in the end I will still support them as I did Kris and Luhan, it's just that this third time may be harder than the first two. Now, on to my option on Lu Han leaving. The way that Lu Han left was quite different to Kris leaving and I think there are a few reasons for that, even the reaction of fans was quite different to a certain extent. First, I will address why I believe that the reaction was different for Lu Han leaving opposed to Kris leaving. Then, I will present how I think fans should react to Lu Han leaving SM. Lastly, but, not in any way the least I will finish up with a statement on SM.

The reasons why the reaction to Lu Han leaving was so different is contributed to many factors I believe which include:

• Kris leaving already
• The way he left 
• Lay's support

First, I need to address that first bullet. I do not believe Lu Han could have left if it was not for Kris. All through Exo showtime I think we get a glimpse of the Exo members and their character, and I wholeheartedly think that if Kris had not left, Lu Han would have never felt the courage to leave. But, because of the example of Kris leaving for his health, and the unfair treatment towards the Chinese members, Lu Han was able to follow in his footsteps and leave as well. Also, I am not sure Kris would have done it, if there hadn't been lawsuits before him. Kris opened the way for a lot of things I believe. SM is trying to keep the members of Exo I believe, because everyone was given after Kris and Lu Han left roles in movies suddenly. Lay finally was given his own studio which he had been asking for in China, after they got him to commit to never leaving SM to go back to being famous in China (Lay was famous in China before he joined SM and moved to Korea.).

Secondly, the way Lu Han left was very different from the way Kris left. I will not really discuss how Kris left in this post in great detail because that will be in another post about Kris leaving. But, I will tell you the way Lu Han left. Lu Han went to SM apparently and gave them a deadline to change certain things or he would leave SM. (I think it is very important to say that these boys are leaving SM not EXO. Exo is not what they wanted to leave but, rather SM.) SM did not fix these problems in the deadline and he left. 

The last bullet is Lay's support. As the peace loving healing unicorn of Exo, as Lay is known by fans, Lay in true Lay fashion decided to stand up for Lu Han's decision to leave. Lay has announced openly that he is still great friends with Lu Han and even wished him happy birthday. Lu Han likewise said that they still text and just because they are now on different pathways does not mean they are not friends. Because of all three of these points I think fans reactions have been totally different. 

Now, what should fans reactions actually be. I believe we should support every single Exo member whether they leave SM or not. Why do we have to choose one or the other between supporting Exo and a single member? Let's support all of them and have no fan wars. So, that is what I am going to and am doing.

SM obviously did not react well to Lu Han telling him he would leave if they did not fix the problems in SM. Business wise I have no clue why they would do this and not decide to change what he wanted. Exo is making them a lot of money and it would be foolish to let a member go. So, they made a bad business decision with this one, but, it is obvious they are trying to make it up to the other members so no more will leave by giving them more to do. But, time will tell that will only solve the problem for a little while. SM needs to give them time off and rest. Not to mention fair treatment between members and better pay. More are bound to leave. SM is in denial.

I decided to mention all that LuHan is doing right now: He has just released his first solo EP and is releasing more songs still as I am writing. I am told he will continue releasing songs till December. He had his first miniconcert that was broadcasted live and all those fans there got to be in his next MV for his song ''Football Gang''. He even got to play his favorite sport of soccer in a game for his birthday. He is in Chinese Running Man and he is acting in the hollywood movie: The Great Wall and the Chinese movie The Witness, and Back to 20.
