Luhan, Kris
The SM Entertainment vs Kris & Luhan battle is ever the rage amongst the topics currently trending in K-Pop, and the prolonged controversy doesn't appear as though it will simmer down any time soon. The former EXO-M members, having been part of the monolithic music label for nearly four years, is now seeking to terminate their contracts. The two artists are now pursuing other interests over in China, disregarding their obligations to SM. There is no love lost between the label and the artists, as the two parties continue to butt heads. 


Two writers from the allkpop office decided to voice their opinions on the issue (and play the devil's advocate) with alim17 taking SM's side and jubilantj supporting Kris and Luhan. Read on to discover what the two have to say on this ongoing controversy! Who do you agree with?
