Article: [Official Statement] Henry to open his own Chinese workshop after leaving SM, "Working on a one-man agency in Korea"

1. [+416, -45] SM really did keep Henry on the backburner for too long... For someone with so much talent, all SM did was waste it on putting him on variety shows. To think that varieties were where he showed his prodigal talent off on... Thankfully 'I Live Alone' helped shine a light on him. I'm totally supportive of his one-man agency! I just want to see more of his talent.
2. [+363, -19] Why are people calling him a traitor when his contract with SM expired and he's now launching into what he wants to do? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+281, -15] Henry definitely didn't betray SM. SM didn't support Henry enough... He has so much talent both music and otherwise but SM wasn't able to help him reach his potential...
4. [+14, -3] I think he's talented enough to. He's smarter than you think.
5. [+11, -0] He's way more popular in China and the Chinese market has more earning potential. There's no reason for him to stay on shows like 'I Live Alone' when he has the chance to make it big in China like Victoria.
6. [+7, -0] Felt like his prodigal talent was all wasted in Korea
7. [+7, -1] Felt so touched by his instrument cover of 'Begin Again'~
8. [+6, -1] Seems like he's going to make his main promo industry China and then take whatever offers he gets in Korea every once in a while. He doesn't really need SM for that so may as well say farewell to them. I don't think it's that SM didn't manage him well or put him on the backburner. Henry has the most individual international popularity out of SuJu other than Choi Siwon and SM had a lot to do with that.
