On February 5, 2015, S.M. Entertainment released an official statement that stated that Luhan had left the EXO without permission and announced that the company had filed lawsuits against not only Luhan but also the advertisers who used it as a spokesperson.
According to Chinese entertainment source Sina Entertainment, a representative of Luhan issued an official statement on February 6 on allegations made in the lawsuit filed against S.M. Entertainment.
The representative said: "We are launching this official statement in order to clarify the truth and protect the reputation of Luhan.
SM filed a lawsuit for the Shanghai courts, claiming that 'Luhan has been participating in activities in China without permission.'
However, according to the rules of jurisdiction, SM has no right to bring a lawsuit over [Luhan's] exclusive contract to a Chinese court.
In fact, the courts do not have jurisdiction in Shanghai [on this matter]."
He continues: "The results of [our] investigation show that SM sued an advertiser affiliated with Luhan for copyright infringement.
This does not correspond with the reasons given for their actions [SM].
The statement that SM issued through the press is misleading.
The SM is aware of the reasons behind the filing [of its annulment] of its [Luhan] exclusive contract, but in its statement, the company said that luhan was unethical when leaving the company without any legitimate reason. "
To say that he [Luhan] left EXO for no reason other than his own gain "is a malicious attempt to defame Luhan."
The statement concludes with: "In order to protect your legitimate rights and interests, we will take legal action against all the full reports Which defame Luhan's reputation."
In July 2016, the recommended court for the reconciliation of the two parties, ruled that Luhan's exclusive contract with S.M. Entertainment would be in effect until 2022, as originally decided.
The law firm representative of SM announced through an official press release on July 21, "We can not disclose the details of the agreement, but according to the court of decision and the agreement of the parties involved, the exclusive contract of Luhan Will be effective until 2022, as initially contracted."
The press further revealed: "Excluding areas in Korea and Japan, Luhan will entrust jurisdiction rights entirely to S.M. Entertainment, and will share a portion of its revenue with the agency.

Special Order 191 was issued by Robert E. Lee in early September 1862.
It was a handwritten order detailing Lee's planned troop movements during his Maryland Campaign intended to win the American Civil War.
The document was recovered by Union soldiers and passed on to Major general George B. McClellan.
This was a piece of intelligence few battle commanders are ever lucky enough to receive.
It gave the details of how Lee had weakened his forces by splitting them up into several columns.
It also laid out where each part of his army was to be at any given time.
McClellan, usually very slow to act, moved his forces more quickly this time.
By the night of September 14, 1862, Lee was no longer following his plan of attack.
He was now reacting to McClellan's troop movements.
At this point Lee's main problem became how to keep his army from being destroyed.
Following his success at the Second Battle of Bull Run (also called the Second Battle of Manassas), Lee made plans to invade the North.
He concentrated his army at Frederick, Maryland, about  northwest of Washington, D.C. The story of the lost order 191 and the events of early September 1862 revolve around two sheets of paper.
September 7–9
Lee's army was camped near Frederick on September 7.
General J.E.B. Stuart's three cavalry brigades had been given the task of forming a screen (protective line) between the encampment and the Union Army to their east.
Lee met with his generals suggesting to James Longstreet that he should surround Harpers Ferry Armory and attack the large Union garrison which was threatening their supply lines to their rear.
Longstreet objected saying his troops needed rest from the long march.
He also pointed out it was a bad idea to split Lee's forces when they were so close to the enemy.
If the Union army discovered Lee had weakened his main force, they might attack in force.
Once rested, organized and fully supplied, Lee's army could do what it wanted.
After the meeting, Longstreet assumed Lee had given up the risky Harpers Ferry scheme.
A day or two later, Longstreet entered Lee's tent.
He found Lee and General Stonewall Jackson finalizing the plan to attack Harpers Ferry.
Longstreet realized the plan had gone ahead without him.
Reluctantly, he went along with the plan.
On September 9, Lee wrote out the details of the plan in Special Order 191.
Order 191 text
Each of Lee's commanders received a copy of the handwritten order.
Hill already had been sent a copy of the order from Lee.
He did not know a second copy had been sent to him from Jackson.
This is the copy that was lost.
Lost order found
On September 13, while about  south of Frederick, Maryland, Corporal Barton W. Mitchell of the 27th Indiana Volunteers (Union Army) found a bundle of cigars wrapped inside some paper.
The paper turned out to be Special Order 191.
The field had recently been occupied by Confederate General Hill and the order was addressed to General Hill.
He gave the order to his sergeant who passed it up the chain of command to General McClellan.
The division's adjutant general, Samuel Pittman, was able to confirm it was the handwriting of his former colleague before the war, Robert Chilton, who was Lee's adjutant general.
It was in McClellan's hands the same day.
Lee had about 50,000 soldiers to McClellan's 85,000.
But McClellan thought Lee had 100,000 troops and was extremely reluctant to engage him.
McClellan now had a chance to destroy Lee's Army of Northern Virginia while it was weak and divided, if he acted quickly.
This unexpected piece of valuable information led the usually overcautious McClellan to commit his forces on September 14 resulting in the Battle of South Mountain.

Myco-heterotrophy is a relationship between certain plants and fungi.
The plant gets all or part of its food from parasitism on fungi, not from photosynthesis.
In the past, non-photosynthetic plants were thought to get food by breaking down organic matter like fungi do.
Such plants were therefore called "saprophytes".
It is now known that no plant is physiologically capable of direct breakdown of organic matter.
The interface between the plant and fungal partners in this association is between the roots of the plant and the mycelium of the fungus.
Myco-heterotrophy therefore closely resembles mycorrhiza, and is thought to have evolved from mycorrhiza.

The ouroboros or oroboros is an ancient symbol of a serpent or dragon eating its own tail.
The ouroboros is a symbol of an everlasting cycle or a cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
The ouroboros symbolizes eternity or cyclicality.
It is the sense of something constantly re-creating itself.
Like the phoenix, it symbolises cycles that begin again as soon as they end.

The text is about the god Ra and his union with Osiris in the underworld.
In an illustration, two serpents, with their tails in their mouths, coil around the head and feet of an enormous god (this the unified Ra-Osiris).
The whole figure represents the beginning and the end of time.

Daniel Harvey Hill, or more commonly D. H. Hill, (July 12, 1821 - September 24, 1889) was a Confederate Major general during the American Civil War.
He was an officer in the Mexican-American War and received two brevet promotions for his performance; one to captain and another to major.
He left the army to become a Professor.
When North Carolina seceded from the Union, Hill was appointed Colonel of the 1st North Carolina Infantry.
By 1862 he was a major general serving in the Army of Northern Virginia.
Hill's reputation was tarnished over the lost copy of Special Order 191 which fell into the hands of Union general George McClellan.
This gave away Robert E. Lees plans for the Confederate Maryland Campaign.
He was considered a military genius by some, including Lieutenant general Stonewall Jackson (his Brother-in-law).
Hill was born on July 12, 1821 at Hill's Iron Works in York County, South Carolina.
He was the son of Solomon and Nancy Hill.
His grandfather, William Hill, a native of Ireland, built an iron foundry that made cannon for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
He was also a Revolutionary War soldier.
Hill was educated locally and in 1838 accepted an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point.
He was in the same class as James Longstreet, William Rosecrans, John Pope, and George Sykes.
He graduated four years later ranked 28th in a class of 56.
He was given a commission in the 1st US Artillery.
Mexican War
He participated in nearly every important battle in the Mexican–American War.
He rose to the rank of First lieutenant.
He won the brevet rank of Captain at the battles of Contreras and Churubusco.
For his actions at the Battle of Chapultepec he was breveted the rank of major.
The state of
He resigned from the army in 1849 and became Professor of Mathematics at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University).
In 1854 Hill became a professor at Davidson College.
In 1859 he resigned his chair position to become the superintendent of the North Carolina Military Institute.
As a colonel of the 1st North Carolina Infantry he quickly became successful.
In 1861 he led his forces to a victory in the Battle of Big Bethel (Virginia).
By the spring of the following year, Hill had been promoted to major general in the Army of Northern Virginia.
He led his division at the battles of Yorktown, Williamsburg, Seven Pines and all through the Seven Days Battles.
It was Hill who advised his commander, Robert E. Lee, not to attack the Union positions at the Battle of Malvern Hill saying "If General McClellan is there in strength, we had better let him alone."
Lee ignored the advice and the attacks were unsuccessful.
Hill was left to defend Richmond, Virginia during the Northern Virginia Campaign.
While in Richmond, Hill and Union general John Adams Dix worked out a system to exchange prisoners of war.
He rejoined Lee for the Maryland Campaign.
It was during the Maryland Campaign that Hill was mistakenly sent two copies of Special Order 191.
The second copy, which came to be known as the "lost copy" was found on September 13 by a Union soldier who quickly sent it up the chain of command to McClellan.
Now McClellan knew the details of how Lee had weakened his forces by splitting them up into several columns.
McClellan acted, quicker than usual, and attacked Lee's positions.
Hill's outnumbered men delayed the Union advance at the Battle of South Mountain long enough for Lee to regroup.
Three days later Hill's division defended the "Bloody Lane" against several Union attacks at the Battle of Antietam before being driven back.
Hill's division was also in the Battle of Fredericksburg.
In 1863 Hill was sent to help defend Southern Virginia and North Caroline.
He never returned to Lee's army.
He was next sent west to command a Corps under Lieutenant general Braxton Bragg.
At the Battle of Chickamauga Hill led his corps.
But he did not get along at all with Bragg and was left without a command.
This also stopped his promotion to Lieutenant general.
He did not command troops again until the
In the spring of 1863, Hill was detached to help defend North Carolina and Southern Virginia.
He never rejoined Lee’s army.
After helping defend Richmond during Lee’s Gettysburg Campaign, Hill was sent west to command a corps in Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee.
Hill led his corps in the victory at the Battle of Chickamauga.
After the battle, however, tensions with Bragg led to Hill being sidelined and to the cancellation of his promotion to lieutenant general.
Hill did not command troops again until the final weeks of the war at the Battle of Bentonville.
Hill was a very good combat leader but he made enemies among other Confederate generals.
He was said to be sarcastic, abrupt and often insulting.
James Longstreet once said Hill's problem was he was a North Carolinian in an army of Virginians.
Hill edited a magazine at Charlotte called "The Land We Love."
Between 1877 and 1880 he was president of the Arkansas Industrial university (later renamed the University of Arkansas).
Following that he was president of the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College (now Georgia Military College).
He remained there until August of 1889 when ill health caused him to resign.
He died at Charlotte September 23, 1899.
Hill was buried at the Davidson College Cemetery.

A brevet in most militaries is a promotion to a higher rank without the increase in pay or full privileges.
It is often given as an honor.
It was a term borrowed from the British during the American Revolutionary War and used in the Continental Army.
Since that time the United States Congress has had several reasons for granting brevet ranks.
In some of these instances the officer received the higher pay of the breveted rank.
The term brevet comes from the Latin words breve and brevia meaning a legal brief.
Early French armies
In the early history, the King of France would call on his feudal lords for troops.
These feudal lords raised armies and appointed officers, but they did not have the authority to give a rank in the king's army.
The king would give a commissioned rank to leaders that would be recognized throughout his army by the use of Letters patent or brevet.
Soon all French officers from a cornet (sub-lieutenant) to the Marshal of France received their commission in this way.
They came to be styled Officers a'Brevet.
The official document granting the brevet was called a brevet d'invention.
British army
The British army that served in the American colonies during the American Revolution were made up of mostly infantry regiments.
During the war the strength (numbers) of infantry regiments varied.
The actual strength was usually not the established strength.
But in general, a regiment at the time averaged about 500 soldiers.
Regiments were then divided into ten companies usually of equal size.
Each company had three officers and was commanded by a captain.
Three of these company captains also held a higher rank in the regiment.
These included the colonel, the lieutenant colonel and the major.
Collectively these three were called "field officers".
So in actuality, each regiment had three field officers and seven captains for a total of ten.
On muster rolls it was not unusual to see an officer listed as "Major and Captain".
But usually, only the higher of the officer's two ranks were used.
But, whereas companies were commanded by captains, it is sometime curious to see mention of something like "Lt.
Campbell's company" (instead of Captain Campbell's company).
American Civil war
In 1861, during the American Civil War, graduates of West Point were given commissions in the Union Army as brevet 2nd lieutenants.
This was because there were not enough vacancies to commission them as 2nd lieutenants.
Many officers have held brevet commissions for gallant actions, meritorious service or to serve in a staff position when their permanent rank did not allow it.
After the war there were thousands of brevet officers.
Of the 1,978 Civil War generals, 1,700 were brevet Brigadier generals or Major generals, most with a date of rank of 13 March 1865.
Many, Like George Armstrong Custer held the brevet rank of major general, but wanting to remain in the army after the war was returned to his permanent rank of captain.

Sperlinga is a comune in the province of Enna, in the central part of Sicily.
Sperlinga is about  above sea level.
It is on a hill on the southern slopes of the Nebrodi mountains, about  north of Enna.
It has a number of dwellings.
The village has a large medieval castle, dating from Norman times.
In 2014 the population was 819 people.
The main activity in the area is farming.
The village is first mentioned (as "Sperlingua") in a document belonging to the Norman Count Roger from 1082.
The castle is first mentioned in 1113.
It is believed that Sperlinga did not take part in the Sicilian Vespers, the bloody uprising against the Angevin French rulers of Sicily in 1282.
The village may have offered them protection.
There was an inscription over a door in the castle which read ,, meaning "what pleased the Sicilians, only Sperlinga denied".
From about 1360 Sperlinga was ruled by the Ventimiglia family.
In 1597 it was sold for 30,834 ounces of gold to Giovanni Natoli.
Natoli was granted a licentia populandi or "licence to populate" by the king of Sicily, Philip II of Spain, and was made Prince of Sperlinga in 1627.
His son Francesco sold Sperlinga in 1656 to Giovanni Stefano Oneto, but kept the princely title.
Oneto was made Duke of Sperlinga in 1666 by Charles II of Spain.
During the Allied invasion of Sicily, in the Second World War, Allied forces moved past Sperlinga to envelop Nicosia, a few kilometres to the south.
They met strong resistance.
After a show of force by American tanks, the Axis forces withdrew from Sperlinga and Nicosia during the night of 27 July 1943.
Units of the American 16th Infantry Regiment entered Sperlinga the next morning.
