Tao may have left EXO and SM but his ties with the label is harder to sever than the singer may have originally believed.

Apparently, Tao's face popped up as fans unwrapped their new albums from Super Junior and Girls' Generation. A photo card of the singer was tucked away in the albums, which likely confounded and shocked fans beyond belief. No one knows whether this was a purposeful design by SM or an innocent mistake by someone in the album distribution department. Whatever the case, Tao's smug face really shocked one Korean fan who uploaded a hilarious Twitter post that went, "Sh*t, I thought this was fake but when I unwrap the album you are there????????? What are you???????" 

This poor, unwitting Korean fan wan't the only one to meet Tao's face randomly. Other fans have also shared their experiences with seeing Tao's face in their albums. 

What are your thoughts on this strange debacle?
