Already with an endorsement from a Chinese mobile game maker in hand, Tao is set to become the new face of Bugles snacks. There also comes reports that the K-Pop star is setting up his own management company in China The endorsement comes at a hairy time, as Tao is trying to get out from under the iron rule of SM Entertainment.
Tao's situation at the moment is in an awkward, grey area. SM released a statement to clarify(?) the situation, "It cannot be confirmed whether Tao is staying or leaving. Negotiations are still ongoing," said the SM Entertainment Representative.
Clear?
SM, in separate cases, filed lawsuits against ex-members Kris and Luhan, like Tao both are Chinese, for continuing activities while still under contract. On the shelf recovering from a leg injury, Tao's situation could be considered different. He was, of course, injured on the job and is recovering in California.

The company's inception gives a strong indication of the idol's path. However, SM Entertainment is well aware of Tao's new venture. They even released a statement regarding said studio:
"We know about the news of Tao's personal studio. Currently, we are still discussing the direction of Tao's career. We are also currently discussing his Chinese activities with him and his dad. We hope to discover more possibilities for Tao's career through these discussions."
