EXO's Xiumin has alleged that SM Entertainment had blocked him from appearing on KBS.

On March 4, Xiumin's current agency, One Hundred Label, stated, "KBS unofficially informed us that it would be impossible for Xiumin to appear on programs such as 'Music Bank' where SM Entertainment singers perform. Despite our continued efforts to reach out, we were ignored."

The company further said, "A public broadcasting network has blocked us due to a conflict of interest with a specific agency. If this unfair situation continues, our artists will be unable to appear on music shows during the weeks when SM Entertainment artists are promoting. We regret having to deliver such disappointing news."

However, fans and netizens are not satisfied with the latest statement from One Hundred Label. They believe the agency is putting Xiumin in the front to deliver negative news. They're arguing that One Hundred Label is positioning Xiumin as a shield, publicly claiming that SM Entertainment blocked his KBS appearance without providing solid evidence.

They commented:

"Every time something happens, they always claim they did their best and shift the blame elsewhere. Sure, okay. Just focus on ensuring your artist gets fair treatment."

"This shady company is only making things worse for its artist."

"Who’s handling their PR? They need to hire someone who can actually write."

"Ugh, just when I was about to forget about them, here we go again."

"What are they even saying... Did all SM artists just sit out when Baekhyun was promoting? LOL."

"A company that does nothing but complain."

"If that logic were true, 'Music Core' would have blocked them too. SM even has an MC there. And Baekhyun already appeared on 'Music Bank'."

"SM is the real victim here."

"But Baekhyun and Taemin both appeared? So what’s the issue?"

"If Baekhyun was allowed on the show, it’s not SM’s doing. That’s why people are skeptical."

"They always drag SM whenever things don’t go their way."

"What are they trying to pull..."

"If SM was really blocking people, wouldn’t Baekhyun have been the first target? LOL."

"No one is buying this narrative now, but they’re probably hoping that if they keep pushing it, some people will eventually believe it."

"Either their new agency is completely incompetent, or they’re deliberately trying to turn SM against its former artists."

"Why is this company using Xiumin as a shield..."

"I doubt they’d just lie about this, but they should be trying to resolve it instead of immediately running to the public with a statement."

"They pick fights everywhere. What a garbage agency."

"Reading these comments actually makes me feel bad for SM."
