Efforts for an agreement between SM Entertainment and Kris and Luhan fall through

Previously, in the cases of SM Entertainment versus former EXO members Kris and Luhan, the two sides were forced by the court to arbitrate in the hopes of reaching a favorable agreement, but it seems SM Entertainment has had enough.

According to a report on June 5 by Star News, SM Entertainment raised an objection to the decision for compulsory arbitration at the Seoul Central District Court, saying that they could not accept it.  The reasons for SM Entertainment's formal objection have not been revealed.

A compulsory arbitration means that in the case an agreement is not reached by the disputing parties, the court will by official authority force an arbitration through conditions for reconciliation.  If one side raises an objection within two weeks, then the reconciliation would fail to be established and the parties will move onto a lawsuit.

As neither Kris nor Luhan raised objections to this, SM's side did so, refusing to accept the terms, so an agreement between the parties has now fallen through.  Stay tuned.
