"Bona" said things started to change when he met Chinese actress/director in December (2013) and he began a campaign to be signed to her movie as he believed she could make him famous. My friend stated that Kris was absolutely sure that he would become a massive celebrity in China and was absolutely certain becoming an actor would be much better for him money and popularity wise.
"Bona" said that he began to make plans for his lawsuit and by April, he had shown her letters of support from both his mother and 2 friends who were also with his company at some point in time that he would submit to court as his proof and had prepared everything for his departure (besides telling his group and manager since he did not feel like they would support his decision to leave and he didn’t want them to stop him). I don’t know much about his case but "Bona" said she did read one of the letters and the letter claimed that Lee Soo Man was like a "father figure" in the company who had promised him he would become famous, that after he left his group back in early 2013, he had to apologize to all the members and management in order to return, member Suho was made the leader of the whole group (Kris was still leader of EXO-M publicly) and he was treated differently because of his sudden departure.
My friend said that she didn’t involve herself too much in his professional since she didn’t want him to stop his dreams but she did feel like he was playing a risky game with what he was trying achieve.
"Bona" said that Kris claimed in his case that he left due to family/personal problems back in early 2013 but she said that he admitted to her back in December when he had first met Xu Jing Lei that he had become frustrated and distressed about how EXO hadn’t becoming anything almost a year after their debut despite all their promoting and he had tried to leave in order to become free from SM and move on to become an actor in China (he had to return after he realized how difficult it would be). He complained to her the members were not trusting of him after he suddenly left (there was the issue of their comeback being delayed because of his departure) and that he had hoped that they would have understood his desire to go solo. "Bona" said that Kris for whatever reason was always the type who unconsciously put his feelings and desires first so when it came to the awkward relationship between him and his members following his return, he genuinely believed he was the one who should be pitied for not being able to leave and did not seem to understand his members feelings of betrayal with him. She said she was surprised about he didn’t feel like he had done anything wrong at all and did not take his position as leader to be someone who should put his group’s interests first, instead his first reaction was to do whatever was the best in his interest.
Concerning EXO, “Bona” said she didn’t know them (she never met any of them personally) but Kris’ relationship with his members mostly consisted of his close relationship with Tao but it had become strained after he originally left in April 2013 because Tao seemed to be the childlike type who really seemed to consider Kris like a brother and had taken it as a personal betrayal when he had left. But their relationship seemed to back to normal and other than that, my friend didn’t notice anything substantial about his friendship with his other members.
She said he smoked and drank (the group management was always trying to stop him and some other members from drinking or smoking too much) but he was always in good health. Other than that, there was nothing else out of the ordinary about him: “Bona” said that he always planned his airport outfits out in advance (always taking pictures of his clothes to see what was most “stylish”) and that when they met up (or when he was with friends), he used to make sure to wear designer brands in case fans spotted him while he was out.
Finally, “Bona’ said Kris was always the type who had bigger dreams for himself than EXO when it came to being a celebrity and making money (he really wanted to do everything and really seemed to believe that he deserved the best) so she was not at all surprised by his lawsuit or the fact that he finally has become an actor. “
