He probably feels disillusioned. Bighit kept pushing him as 4th gen it boy and kept setting TXT up saying they'd get #1 on B Hot100 for this and that only for none of this to come true. I'm sure he's pissed.

That never made sense to me. It was always clearly Soobin in TXT who had the appeal and chance of being an 'it' boy.

The closest S**bin ever came to being an 'it' boy was this picture:

Red Shelved 

 

Why are they not performing anywhere? 

[New Edition]

So it seems the worst treated groups by SM are EXO and Red Velvet (I would have said fx as the clear winner but they are no longer under the company).

 

Why is that exactly? Genuinely curious especially with exo because they were huge.

they had to squeeze &Team in there

Every SM groups and acts (like most companies) are just treated like revenue and numbers.

1. They're old products. The Kpop life cycle to stop putting as much effort/money into old groups when they're trying to build their new groups. Why put money into something old when the company will make more money off the group putting less effort in.
2. Contracts. I'm sure RV vs Aespa have different contract agreements just being 6 years apart. Over the years RV might have met with SM to have slight contract changes, hitting certain milestones might change clauses in the contract to favor the artists (i.e. you sell a certain amount you get a bigger profit %),
I remember when Got7 left JYPE news articles came out of JYPE telling investors that not to worry about Got7 leaving cause Got7's contracts favored the artists earning more money than the company. It was said the Niziu's contracts favored the company's profit %, so their profit in Japan would offset Got7 leaving. 
3. The idols involved move into solo activities after years of idol promotions. Probably benefits the artist and the company. Yoona doing a drama and getting CF deals seems like easy money for the company and she probably takes more money home than singing on stage.

As I said MOST Companies. And the one that don't treat their groups like numbers are often worse, because entertainment is not their main field, they are just using that sweet tax deduction of promoting the country overseas.

 

Edit: I will never forget when I was doing my Everyone vs. TS Entertainment lawsuit here and the tax deduction was an argument one director said to SECRET Hyosung, that it was one of the reasons they had so many groups. Meanwhile none of these groups had decent living conditions.
