SM Entertainment has responded to reports of EXO's D.O. leaving the label.

Soon after rumors of D.O. leaving the label with his manager hit headlines, SM Entertainment has officially commented on the reports. On October 18, an official from the label confirmed, "Our exclusive contract with Do Kyung Soo ends in early November. After discussions with Do Kyung Soo, we decided that his promotions with EXO will be done with SM Entertainment, and his acting and solo activities will be developed with a new company established independently by one of our former managers."

It was previously reported D.O. would be leaving SM Entertainment with a management director who he's worked with him since his debut, and it looks like the reports were in fact true.
