Seoul Central Branch of Civil Affairs ruled that Huang Zi Tao's contract termination with SM had no effect. The court: "dismissed the plaintiff's request", deciding Huang Zi Tao lost the lawsuit. In August 2015 Huang Zi Tao submitted a lawsuit against SM to terminate the exclusive contract, experiencing a year and 8 months of long drawn out legal disputes.

1. [+27128] As a Chinese person, no matter if you win or lose I stand by Huang Zi Tao!
2. [+17148] Huang Zi Tao as the martial artist of the group since debut has encountered countless injury and pain, and the company has repeatedly not cared about their artist's health instead discriminating. In 2015 Idol Athletics Championship he tore his ligament and had surgery to remove the small bones. The Korean company was forced to withdraw him from activities then wanted to freeze him. SM breached the contract first, Huang Zi Tao has always been grateful to the company but the company doesn't want to hear it but is deliberately sinister! Support Huang Zi Tao!
3. [+13608] 1. The Korean courts exists in favour of SM Entertainment. According to Korean law contacts longer than 10 years are illegal. That contract was illegal, why is the decision so cold. It is a court, should be a fair and impartial place, with this I can't but have doubts, what is the true intention of the Koreans. Could it be they want to go through this kind of judgement to demonstrate to our country and people?
4. [+9786] SM even publicly incited the Korean court to pass an unfair verdict in retaliation to our Korean ban. Their final submission to the court said: "recently, Korean artist have had their activities in China impacted by their Korean ban. If you relieve the plaintiff (Huang Zi Tao) from his contract, it is inevitable that the defendant's (SM) business in China and the Hallyu Wave will have an irreparable effect". So despicable.
5. [+8364] Huang Zi Tao tore his ligament, lost part of his bone, on February 2nd was injured but given rough treatment, allowed to go up on stage, dance practice, film album MV, shoot for magazines also promoted the song. In two months not only did the injuries not improve but actually worsened. On 4.22 after announcing he was leaving he took a health examination in China. the doctor said: you've already missed the optimal treatment period. He then went to the United States for four months to recuperate. As an artist under SM to be cared for and loved for would result in longevity not to be injured and not treated!!

1. [+568] Remember when Wu Yifan and Luhan left SM you criticised them and said you would always stay. So noisy. Why don't you return to Korean for Mid-Autumn Festival?
2. [+495] Isn't Huang Zi Tao the one who said don't force me to return to Korea also criticised the members who terminated their contract before, and now he himself is terminating his contract.
3. [+437] Perhaps there's also something is wrong with my idea of beauty but men with a full head of yellow hair, drawing eyeliner, using face mask, ears full of holes are the epitome of effeminate.
