Tao attends opening event for Chinese mobile game, not introduced as EXO member

As previously reported, Tao has taken on solo promotions as the newest model for Chinese mobile game \'Chao Shen Zhan Dui\', and he attended the opening event for the game on June 3.

At the event, Tao\'s association to EXO was not mentioned, but instead, he was introduced as "popular asian idol" Huang Zitao, his full Chinese name. He also posed for photos and met with fans, who he willingly signed autographs for. Tao is in the midst of negotiations to terminate his contract with 

SM Entertainment and leave EXO, so the legality of his solo promotions in China is a bit murky. 

In the latest news concerning his ties to SM Entertainment, Tao\'s father gave an interview saying that he had agreed to leave the company as well as EXO. He was also revealed to be recuperating from injuries and studying in the United States.

As my favourite bias from Exo, I wish him strength, happiness and my love.

i don\'t care anymore and allkpop should stop writing news about past Exo members cause they\'re not kpop anymore (kris,luhan)

If you\'re gonna stay, then stay. If you\'re gonna leave then LEAVE. PLS NO DRAMA ANYMORE! I\'m really tired

It will be like Jessica. Out with the group but still under SM.

Can he just officially release a statement he left the band so us people just move on instead of biting nails for waiting one lol

I just become a fan of Exo, and i am desapointed. I think it\'s firt time in kpop history, this amount of members are leaving Exo, that\'s sad. Because of chineses members from Exo, I think Sm from Know will not easily recruit chineses members as trainee for a futur group. 

"Because of chineses members from Exo..." Hey, there is stay still... His name is Lay (: His Chinese

Well all of BAP is suing their company and lots of other groups have also. So it is not a record lol

I don\'t understand anything did he leave exo or Not? I Hope Not :/

Argh can like SM or TAO side just confirm what is happening right now? I\'m so confused. Like I don\'t even know if Tao is still in SM or what...? It\'s all rumors.. We all just need facts man, facts. 

\'\'Tao is in the midst of negotiations to terminate his contract with SM Entertainment and leave EXO\'\' Well those are facts sadly :|

Did they really expect Tao to be introduced as an Exo member when they situation is so messy? 

aw french ? lol I am french, only french people will understand

@Nastasia Je vais pas fermer ma gueule, je veux que Baekhyeon the alcoholic laisse tranquille my unni Taeeyon, y en a marre de ce con !

@Nastasia wang speaks french elle comprendra lolo

@lilam Not only Wang speaks French but wang graduated from the prestigious university of Seoul in Korean and since she was clever and hard working she got a scholarship to come in France and study in Toulouse university in France where she is now !!!

@lilam ahh sorry j\'avais pas vu que ce message s\'adresser à une personne spécialement. Ce Wang a un sérieux prob lol

@lilam Dans ce cas Baekhyeon the gigolo doit rompre avec my unni Taeyeon !

@Nastasia Et toi, t\'as pas de problem Nas! que tu es nase!!!

@Nastasia ne sois pas désolé(e) s\'il te plait entre WANG, les SUJU, les EXO et moi c une longue longue histoire !!

@Wang_Sejung me:reads the whole thing like she knows what are they saying..

He will leave .. it so clear already.  SM did not want to say bec of EXO\'s current comeback for fear of backlash from Tao\'s fans.. I hate this illusive answers we are getting.. just SAY IT!! After seeing how SM did the recent comeback today without him, do you think he will still stay with EXO?? do you think the other members are not upset?? He is just left out.. one thing I do know.. EXO certainly sounds a bit different now than they used to.  I am so sad.

laughing at exol who still think tao did not leave. well he didn\'t appears on the new mv and he\'s active in chine :)

I was hoping to accidently run into this cutie when he was in LA lol I\'m not trying be funny but if Exo loses another member are they gonna drop another repack n regroup album? Hope not. I\'m exhausted for them just thinking about it

SM stays quiet so I guess the advertising contract is done through SM as it should be. On other note: don\'t know how Chinese usually announce members during solo promotions - with a group\'s name or not.

I wish you well in what ever you decide to do. Stay strong Tao!!!
