BEAST made up for the postponement by not only releasing individual "Good Luck" teaser videos for each member, but the group also revealed a completely unrelated music video for "No More." The group followed up by releasing both an album and the music video for "Good Luck."

SM Entertainment And Kris Pursue Out-Of-Court Mediation

Mid last week, it was reported that EXO's former member Kris and SM Entertainment were ordered by the Seoul Central District Court to try to sort out the legal situation outside of court. Kris withdrew from EXO without warninng in the middle of May, and fans around the world are worried about an extended legal dispute.

According to some media reports, Kris filed a suit to leave SM Entertainment due to the fact that "The company has treated me like a machine part or as an object of control rather than presenting a vision as an entertainer."

Fans are hopefuly that Kris and SM Entertainment can come to agreement outside of court, but based on other lengthy contract disputes between SM and former artists many fans are doubtful.
