The agency released the following statement:


"After filing a lawsuit through the Shanghai court in China on February 4, SM Entertainment has officially filed a lawsuit against Luhan and the movie production companies, which allowed Luhan to star in a film without notice, through the Hong Kong court on February 10.


As revealed in our previous statement, we will take legal measures to protect the rights and profits of SM, EXO, and other victims affected by the illegal celebrity promotions and breach of contract, and prevent such infringement of rights.


Until there is a final verdict from the court, the contracts between SM, Kris (Wu Yi Fan), and Luhan are still valid and effective, meaning that all commercial activities, endorsement deals, and movie filming and appearances are a breach of contract and infringement of SM and EXO's rights and profits.


Despite SM having the exclusive rights as Luhan's agency and management all over the world including Korea, China, and Hong Kong, [Luhan] violated his contract by starring in a Hong Kong movie, and because the Hong Kong movie production companies allowed Luhan to star in the film without any prior consent from SM, they have to take joint legal responsibility. Through our legal team KING&WOOD MALLESONS, we've officially filed a lawsuit against Luhan and Luhan's movie production companies at the Hong Kong court.


SM plans to take legal action against any blindly-following company or individual for all of the illegal promotions whether it is in China, Hong Kong or another country."


UPDATE -- SM Entertainment also revealed to Ilgan Sports on the 11th that they're preparing to file a new lawsuit against Kris as well.
