Tao, a member of K-pop idol group EXO-M, disclosed a photo taken with Lee Soo-man, the chairman of his agency, SM Entertainment, dispelling speculation that the relations between the group and the agency are at a low ebb. 

In the photo unveiled on his Instagram on Monday, the two are drinking champagne at the after-party following the EXO’s first solo concert held from May 23-25 in Seoul. 

“Love you boss. Thank you for having raised EXO. Love you,” Tao wrote in the caption.
