[TRANS] TVXQ vs SM Debate at Court



◇ Exclusive contract .. “lifetime contract” vs “for overseas expansion”

DBSK side: “Other famous agencies only have 5-7 years contract with their artists, in coherence with Korea Fair Trade Commissions which allows maximum 7 years for exclusive contact period, not as many as SM which lasts until 13 years.”

“Most idol singers’ active period is during the prime of their life. Therefore 13 years contract can be viewed as a lifetime contract.”

“In addition, if they terminate the contract during half way period, the penalty of sum of total investment and loss will cost up to 100 billion won which is the long term contract device to not allowing the artist to escape.”

SM side: “We already made several times modifications at the contract, in each and every points FTC can not accept. Also, if the artist wants to go international, they can’t choose but to have a long term contract.”

“We already had plan in our hand to do S.E.S record expansion with Japanese famous label back then, but it’s failed since they couldn’t take SM exclusive contract.”

“BoA, Kang Ta, and other artists engaged in overseas activities have exclusive contract period for 15 years. In order to get a result for overseas activities, we need a long period of time, we cant help it.”


◇ Revenue distribution .. “it should be proportional to income” vs “They’re agreed facts”

DBSK side: “The three members think that they do not get distribution revenue fairly to their proportional income. We respect SM business secret, but we also demand an exact calculation data about the income.”

SM side: “We released settlement data about each member publicly every six month. In fact, last February, all 5 DBSK members’ parent had signed the settlement and made an agreement about the contract.”

DBSK side: “The three members are still young men and don’t even know the content of settlement they had just signed. When our lawyer asked for re-statement of accounts, with reasons that it’s secret, the company refused to provide the data. Later on, SM only invited the members without any legal companion to look and talk about the data.”


◇ Cosmetics business .. “a common example,” vs “the nature of the case”

The lawyers of DBSK’s 3 members refused to make further comment about cosmetic business which is believed by SM side to be the nature of the case. “They do not put big investment in the cosmetic business and it’s a common incidental income among artists to have. We did not feel that money was the problem in this lawsuit so we did not talk about it on its own.”

SM side: “But the 3 members who applied this case are all the owners of cosmetic business. It proves that this is the main reason of this case.”

“As cosmetic business owners, the members will expose their image in to any events held, as well as in the homepage. And it’s considered as violation to the exclusive contract. SM should ask them to self-control regarding such kind exploitation because it has possibility to decrease the shock (exclusivity) of DBSK overall images.”


◇ DBSK will continue….

SM side: “Through this lawsuit, we hope to resolve any misunderstandings with the applicants (3 DBSK members), to deepen trust therefore we can together lead the future 2nd Korean wave. The star and agency, we want to grow together as their companion.”

“We have unlimited affection to the applicants and right now we’re seeking a long-range plan vision to debut them in Hollywood, United States. We hope this case can be resolved.”

DBSK side: “If you look at Shinhwa, although each member is in a different agency, they still perform as one group and the three members, even if they move agencies, do not wish to disband. As TVXQ, they don’t want any separation among the members.”

“The three members have a deep feeling towards SM, but they’re ready to accept any possibilities this case might leads in the future.”

[News]090819 U-Know Yunho Says “I Feel Good About Our First Filming For The Drama”


TVXQ member U-Know Yunho, who will be acting under his real name Jung Yunho, shared his feelings about his first drama shoot.

Jung Yunho immersed himself in filming for MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Heading to the Ground’ where he plays the role of Cha Bong-goon, a man who has nothing except a goal and passion.

On July 28th, Jung Yunho began filming for the first episode at Gangnam Sangsoo-dong by acting as Cha Bong-goon talking with his neighborhood, long-time friend Oh Yeoni (Lee Yoonji). Jung Yunho checked and refined each and every one of his actions and lines and practiced his lines every chance he had. He showed his passion eagerness for his role by asking the staff whether his interpretation of the character was fitting.

Bong-goon is a character who has a playful and ever-changing personality. During this particular filming, Bong-goon’s character required many facial expressions such as suddenly smiling for no reason or scrunching one’s face up in anger. Jung Yunho, who acted out each expression naturally, said, “Bong-goong’s character has the best personality,” and asked the staff questions such as, “Was my scene funny? Did it come out well?” and showed his satisfaction for a successful first shoot that ended in a comfortable and fun atmosphere.

Jung Yunho, who said he had to work out very hard for his role, said, “I’m having so much fun playing the character of Cha Bong-goon I feel good about the first filming for our drama.”

‘Heading to the Ground’ is a love story that results from the misunderstandings that arise between passionate yet unlucky Bong-goon and Kang Haebin (played by Ara), a girl who has everything but wishes to succeed on her own. It is also a Humanism drama that touches upon Cha Bong-goon’s will to live even though he had lived through three near-death experiences. The first episode airs on September 9th.

[NEWS] TVXQ’s Homepage Flooded With Complaints From Fans


After the ‘SM TWON LIVE ‘09′ was postponed indefinitely by SM Entertainment who said the reason was the lawsuit between the agency and TVXQ’s three members, Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun and YoungWoong Jaejoong, the fans’ criticisim has been flooding in.

SM released an official statement on the 7th of August stating that, “The ‘SM TOWN LIVE ‘09′ that was scheduled to be held on August 16th at the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium has been postponed indefinitely.”

SM also stated that all ticket holders would be receiving a full refund but the fans’ rage did not subside easily. On TVXQ’s Hompage, posts of disappointment came from not only TVXQ fans, but from fans of other singers who were to be performing in the SM TOWN concert.

TVXQ fans stated, “We put a lot of effort and money into making events, and now they’ve become obsolete,” “How are they going to compensate for our efforts to secure tickets?” “We even rented a car to go, how are going to compensate for that?” “We’ve waited one year, and this is what we get?” They showed such strong reactions and protested to SM Entertainment. Some fans said that SM was trying to place the blame on TVXQ by saying that the concert was postponed because of the group and harshly criticized SM for what they did.

The fans of fellow SM Entertainment singers such as SHINee and Super Junior also showed their discontent and sided with and supported the fans of TVXQ

Some fans said they would visit SM to give their complaints while other said they would boycott SM goods. There has also been a suggestion for all the fans to gather and rally against SM on the 16th at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium at the time the concert was supposed to happen.

SM said, “SM TOWN LIVE ‘09 was a concert that was extremely popular with tickets being sold out as soon as they were put on sale, so we are very sorry to be giving out this unfortunate news,” and “We promise to bring a better SM TOWN LIVE concert in the future to those fans and families who wish to come to these concerts.”

[NEWS] DBSK’s Dispute, Causing Stir in Music Industry, “Not Someone Else’s Business”



As DBSK dispute continues downhill, the music industry has begun supervising their own. The possibility of a 2nd or 3rd DBSK dispute is causing a crisis in the music industry.Seeing the members they once created and nurtured to be top Asian singers, now fighting with their company is a bitter sight to see for the middle management executives. However, as Xiah Junsu and other members have revealed the unjust contract conditions, some are saying that this is the time to self-exam and improve. How is the contract conditions for groups other than DBSK.

Super Junior, Girl’s Generation, longest contract is 13 years

Other idol groups in SM entertainment is being targeted first. It was reported that for Super Junior, Girl’s Generation, and Shinee, contracts are different for each members but the contract periods are anywhere from 5 years to 13 years.

Because some members of Super Junior and Girl’s Generation have different debut years, their contract is individual.Before Kangin became a member of Super Junior, he was a VJ for a entertainment news program. Before the release of Girl’s generation album in 2007, member Sooyoung made debut in a duo ‘Route Oh” in 2002 under SM Japan so she signed a contract before the other members. Because the contracts are individual, earning distributions and schedule conditions are different for each member.

One Super Junior member spoke with IS on the phone stating, “even if I want to move to another company, the remaining terms of the contract and penalty for breaching the contract is far beyond than people imagine. Because we have a lot of members in our team, we have to divide our earnings into 1/13, so we do not make much money. Up until recently, SM tried to make it our responsibility to pay for our stylist but a senior member took courage and corrected it. There are feelings in the company that if you do something that the company doesn’t like, it is only your loss so even if we have complaints, we can’t express it well.”
It was reported that they had a meeting with each other after the DBSK dispute became a controversy.

Music producers state “they don’t even know the situations”

Another artist under SM Entertainment stated with affliction, “DBSK sunbae’s dispute is bitter to watch because it seems it our future is being shown. Trurthfully, there are too many things on my mind that I can’t concentrate when I’m performing on stage or doing other broadcasting schedules.”

For one group of singers under an entertainment company, although earning distributions are clear and there is strong confidence between the company, they signed a contract period for almost 10 years and are anxious that this might spark something in their way.

Jang Yoon jung and Park Hyun Bin also signed 10 year contract with their company and although Jewelry members have different contracts, members have been working under the same company for over 8 years. They stated that the problem is mutual distrust, not the contract period.

As the long period contracts are arising as a problem, music industry producers respond that they don’t even know what the situation is like. They stated that as singers debut younger and younger, it is becoming normal to start training elementary school kids and if companies continued to meet the demands of its artists, the company would not be able to survive.

One entertainment company president stated, “I am paying attention to how the provisional disposition will be ruled. I feel like singers do not consider the company’s perspective and are only considering these situations once they have become famous. I hope this will be an opportunity to eliminate troubles between singers and companies.”

Currently the 2 together with member Xiah JunSu are entangled in a discord and lawsuit with their management SM Entertainment. And with this album participation, it cast different interests on this case.
Dong Bang Shin Ki revealed through their Japanese official site on 4th August, “There will be many artistes participating in m-flo’s 10th year anniversary album. And of them are Dong Bang Shin Ki Micky YooChun and Hero JaeJoong.”

It has been known that the 2 will be participating in the song ‘Been So long’ according to the homepage. The album is set to be released on 16th September.

Meanwhile, here’s another news translation about the case between DBSK and SM Entertainment thanks to Felix for the headsup

[TRANS] 090802 TVXQ’s Japanese Contract Speculation
It has been confirmed
that three members of TVXQ, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu,
have filed for a Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional
Disposition Request against SM Entertainment and have also filed for a
Preservation of Evidence Request.

The Preservation of Evidence Request refers
to, “Any account books, contracts, receipts, transfer slips or any other
documents that will aid in calculating the exact income and expenditure of the
requester,” and this was done to calculate the exact amount of money TVXQ
earns.

There is more controversey to come as a statement was released that
the members of TVXQ, till now, have never received information about the
contents of their Japanese contract.

In 2005, TVXQ signed a contract with
Avex Entertainment, one of the largest agencies in Japan, through SM
Entertainment and have been working with both entertainment agencies ever
since.

However, till now, the members of TVXQ have no idea what kind of
contract the two agencies formed, and how their income is being divided in
Japan.

A representative of the law firm that is helping the three members had
a phone conversation with this reporter and stated, “Ever since TVXQ started
their activities in Japan, they have never been given any information about how
their income is divided or what their contract consists of.”

He also said,
“We have tried numerous times to tell the agencies that what they are doing is
unlawful and tried to convince them to show TVXQ the contract, but both agencies
have been ignoring us,” and “The members have been diligently working for this
company without even knowing exactly what kind of contract they are
under.”


The Sejong law firm lawyer who is in charge of this lawsuit informed
reporters in an interview of the problems regarding unfair division of income
and complete honesty with the members and also stated that “We have not
discarded the notion of filing for compensation later on.”


Avex
Entertainment, who is in charge of all of TVXQ’s Japanese activities, wrote on
their ofiicial website on August 1st and stated that TVXQ will continue on with
their activities regardless of the current lawsuit.

[NEWS] Is TVXQ Headed for Breakup?


Three members of Korea’s hottest pop group TVXQ – Micky Yu-chun, Xiah Jun-su, and Hero Jae-joong – filed a legal action against its agency, SM Entertainment. The law firm representing the three members said that they signed 13-year exclusive contracts with SM Entertainment, which is essentiall! y binding lifelong contracts. They also claimed that the profit distribution enforced on them by SM Entertainment is unfair.

The press release issued by the lawyers said that the group was subject to grueling schedule since their debut in 2004, shuttling between Japan, China and Korea with very little rest. They can’t get out of this predicament, because they essentially belong to SM Entertainment for 13 years, 15 years if military services are included. The members were also given only 0.4 to 1% of total album sales. Before the contract revision in February, they were promised only 10 million won each if the previous album sold more than 500 thousand copies.

The fans of TVXQ have been in a state of panic ever since the news of a possible breakup made the headlines. Despite the provisional disposition to terminate the contracts, however, the remaining two members – U-Know Yun-ho and Max Chang-min – and the agency both said that the band would continue performing and it would not disband.

SNSD, Kara, 4 Minute, 2NE1 to perform Super Junior and 2PM



On Inkigayo this week, girl groups will unite to perform Super Junior's Sorry Sorry and 2PM's Again and Again.

Performing members include SNSD's Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Jessica, Kara's Han Seung Yeon and Nicole, 4minute's Hyuna and Ji Hyun, and 2NE1's Dara and Minzy.

It look's like Inkigayo is trying to compete with Music Core's triple dose of SNSD. I can't wait to see the nine girls on stage performing the hit boy band songs. Reminds me of Boys Generation and Super Junior's performance of Gee except better, because this time I don't have to watch boys in colored skinny jeans.

[TRANS] 040809 TVXQ, The International Fans' Worried Hearts




Fans from all over the world are showing their worry and support for TVXQ. They are sending letters that all say one thing: regardless of the current dispute between SM and the three members, the fans will support TVXQ no matter what and a disbandment is not something they want.

On the international UCC site 'Youtube', the video that lasts around 5 minutes showing hundreds and hundreds of letters addressed to TVXQ was uploaded on the 4th.

They expressd their feelings with shaky Korean penmanship, but also confessed their thoughts through their native tongues or English. They all had the same message of 'Forever as 5' and 'Always keep the faith.'

TVXQ's influence in the world could be seen from the people's names and the stated countries. Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, India, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Australia, Finland, Japan, UK, USA, Peru, Brunei, France, Sri Lanka...

The multicultural fans called TVXQ various names such as 'DBSK', 'TVXQ', 'TBXQ'

Janice, a Mexican fan stated, "Whatever happens, we will always be by your side. We pray for you." Tiffany, a Peruvian fan said, "We have always been proud of you," to express the pain she was feeling over this situation. Other than this, Dara, an Indonesian fan, hoped for a always-together TVXQ by writing "5-1=0 and 5-2=0" Liana of Germany said, "Don't give up."

On Korean internet sites as well, voices of encouragement and support have been pouring out like a flood. On Agora, a "Against TVXQ's Disbandment"
petition has gained around 21,700 signatures. Fan sites are filled with posts about the fans' feelings of worry.

There have been a couple of extreme cases though. One of which read, "Maybe if we all just committ suicide, they won't disband."

It seems that it is up to the courts to decide the fate of TVXQ, no matter what the fans say. On the 4th, the three members' representative, Sejong, stated a rebuttal that attacked SM's previous statements and that said that the truth would be revealed in court and they were willing to fight for that truth. SM Entertainment has begun silencing the people in their agency from answering questions from reporters and they seem to be busy preparing their side for the case.

[NEWS] 090804 TVXQ Fans Speak Out Once More, “Show us the exact amount of TVXQ’s income”

The problem is not how much was given, but how the income was divided… And can only be solved if SM reveals TVXQ’s exact income

Amidst the chaos that has ensued after TVXQ members YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu filed a lawsuit against their agency, the rift between the two sides is getting deeper as SM Entertainment revealed it’s rebuttal.

There is a lot of talk about SM’s official statement and many are skeptical about SM’s statement that the amount given to TVXQ was ‘a substantial income division.’

On the 3rd, SM released that, “TVXQ, till now (July 2009), have received 11 billion Won (9.2 billion Won given during the activities+1.77 billion Won given beforehand) and have also been given luxury foreign cars (bonuses that don’t have any connection to the contract).” SM also said that, “The other side has focused solely on album sales even though TVXQ receive their fair share through events, CFs and other performances.”

However, since the exact amount of TVXQ’s income till now has not been revealed by SME, SME’s statement has been met with skepticism and doubt.

Fans stated, “Even if SM did give TVXQ 11 billion Won, that is still less than 400 million Won per person each year,” and “It is not plausible to say that this is enough when the group’s immense popularity or influence is calculated,” to show their reluctance to accept SM’s statement.

In fact,TVXQ’s album sales started off with their debut single ‘HUG’ selling around 195K copies and after eight singles and four albums, they have sold a total of 2,68 million copies in Korea alone.

In Japan, they have released 27 singles and four albums and sold a total of 2.34 million copies. According to the Japanese Record Committee, eight albums, ‘Summer Dream’, ‘T’, ‘Beautiful You/Thousand Year Love Song’, ‘Why Did I come to like you? (Doushite)’, ‘Spell-MIROTIC-’, ‘Survivor’, ‘Bolero’, and ‘Share the World’ have received the Gold Ranking (100K or more) and ‘The Secret Code’ has received the Platinum Ranking (250K or more).

Even when China, Thailand and Hong Kong is not considered, TVXQ has sold more than 5 million copies in Korea and Japan alone. Oricon Magazine, the official album chart for Japan, stated that in the first half of this year, TVXQ took eighth place in total album sales that earned them a total of 2.5 billion Yen (approximately 33 billion Won).

TVXQ’s concerts also boast the best ticketing power and the income their live concerts bring in is probably a massive amount. Around 390K people attended TVXQ’s Asia Tours, 530K attended their Japanese Tours and 120K attended their showcases. In their concerts alone, they attracted over 1 million fans around the world.

One fan wrote on their blog, “The most recent concert was their Japan Tour that ended at the Tokyo Dome which attracted 300K people. Even when using the average seat cost of 8000 yen (1 yen=1300 Won), that is still 2.4 billion Yen, in Won that would be 31.2 billion Won.

They also stated, “This is only taking the ticket fee into consideration. When you add up all the souvenirs sold during the concert and add this to the ticket cost, they must have earned at least 50 billion won.

After the Tokyo Dome concert, many Japanese news agencies estimated that, “If you add up all the money TVXQ earns in China, Southern Eastern countries, Korea, etc, TVXQ must earn around 100 billion Won every year.”

There are other sources of income such as musical income sources of streaming, background music for homepages, downloads and ringtones, and commercials, performances, DVDs and photobooks, as well as a cartoon character venture, the amount that TVXQ has earned till now is almost out of this world. That is why SM’s statement regarding money has become an issue.

In reference to SM’s statement that “From their debut till now, we have paid TVXQ 11 billion Won,” many fans are saying that, “It’s not about the actual amount of money given to them, but the percentage of total income given to them,” and “SM is putting forth a large number of 11 billion Won to make it look like they have been giving the members proper treatment pay-wise.”

Fans also stated, “If the agency is so convinced that they are being fair and just, why is it that they aren’t revealing the exact income of TVXQ? There are too many unclear parts in this contract that even the members did not know the contents of.” They also criticized SM Entertainment by stating, “Because of SM’s poor attempts at making TVXQ the scapegoat, more questions are arising and they are causing confusion.”

[NEWS] DBSK's SHOCK: 'Insiders VS Fans' - Two Different Views

Youngwoong Jaejoong, Micky YooChun, and Xiah Junsu, members of popular group DBSK has filed a provisional disposition to free themselves from their contract with SM. This case has many insiders and fans curious to what will happen.
DBSK is an idol group popular not only in Korea but in all of Asia. DBSK has continued to show their outstanding relationship with SM. The three members have thanked Lee Soo Man, the president of SM, multiple times when they received awards.
There are two very different opinions looking onto this situation, ‘The DBSK affairs.’ The 2 opinions are from producers and from fans.

On July 31st, the three members filed a provisional disposition to stop the effects of their contract with SM. DBSK fans immediately responded that this was SM’s fault. These assertions became stronger when the three members revealed official reports. The 3 members used expressions such as ’13 years contract,’ ‘album sales 0.4%-1% earnings division,’ ‘SM’s tools for profit’ in order to express their wishes to get away from SM’s restraint. In response, the complaints by the fans increased. Some fans even posted the situation when HOT disbanded in 2001 to criticize SM.

However, most of the staffs in the music industry are presenting very different opinions.
A high-ranking staff in an entertainment company refuted the assertions made by the 3 members, stating that these actions were too haste and is an act of betrayal to SM.
This staff stated on the 4th, opened with his opinion about the 13 years contract. “For people who are not in the entertainment industry, they will say that a 13 years contract is a slave contract. But it is because they don’t know the realities of the entertainment business.”



He stated, “the group DBSK that made its debut in 2004 is in this position because they were extremely successful for their 5 years after debut. If they were not able to attract the attentions of the fans, they would have been thankful that SM would be in charge of them for 13 years. The 3 members of DBSK must have not been 100% sure about their future success, so they probably agreed to sign for 13 years as a way of insurance.”
He also stated, “SM stated on the 3rd that DBSK was paid 11 billion won for the last 5 years in addition to foreign cars as bonus. Following this, DBSK were not ill-treated. There is probably not one SM staff who gets paid 100 million won every year for taking part into making DBSK a great success.

On the other hand in the midst of all this, DBSK fans and the majority of the music industry agree that they are against DBSK disbandment. DBSK is a big influence to not only Korean teenagers but is an important part of the Korean Wave.

Therefore, it is important that the 3 members of DBSK and SM settle their differences. Because SM holds some rights for DBSK as a team, continuation of DBSK will be difficult unless the 3 members reconcile their differences with SM. In addition to this problem, the two other members of DBSK, have not participated in the current lawsuit, and have expressed that they would stay with SM.
This situation requires SM and DBSK’s 3 members to make wise decisions in order to have a ‘win-win’ situation,considering many aspects.

[NEWS] The DBSK Situation, the Truth and Distortion (Interview with Acquaintance)

The future of idol group DBSK is uncertain. DBSK’s 3 members (Micky YooChun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejoong) and SM’s trouble is too deep. Although they state that there will be no disbandment, in reality, disbandment is more than likely. Even if they avoid the worst case scenario, disbandment, it feels like their departure of SM is set.

On the third, a acquaintance of the 3 members said, “settlement with SM has been tried multiple times. But their differences couldn’t be settled. The reason this went to court is because they couldn’t find a point to settle.” Thus, they concluded that more attempts for negotiations was useless.

The acquaintance that the reporter met is someone who has watched over DBSK very closely. He has experienced all ups and downs since debut until now. According to him, DBSK advocated for only one thing. They wanted conditions of the contract to be eased. However, it has gotten to a point where the conversations between the two parties have gone nowhere.

He stated, “they asked for the contract term and earnings distribution to be revised because everyone could tell it was irrational. They attempted to negotiate until the end but they felt that SM was avoiding them. Therefore, things got emotional for both parties and the 3 members are even more angry with SM’s response.”

“The truth about the 3 things that SM distorted.”

After the initial reports about this incident, SM sent documents on the 1st and the 3rd. On the first, they reported that this problem was due to the makeup company investment and they will work it out. After the contract conditions were reported, they responded that members were paid 11 billion Won and were given foreign cars as presents.

In response to this, he stated, “the nature of this instance is the unfair contract, not the make up company. However, SM has not mentioned the contract conditions and have continued to use make up company issues to play with the media.”

Additionally, he discussed about the 11 billion Won. He said, “let’s say SM is right and that they were paid 11 billion won for the 6 years of work. This is the pre-tax profit. After taxes were paid, and this amount is divided by 6 years, and 5 members, this is less than 200 million won per member. For the first half of this year, the profits from album sales in Japan is 2.5 billion Yen (33 billion won). However, DBSK doesn’t even receive 200 million won per year.”

The total number of albums released in and outside of Korea is 48. Out of these, including singles and full albums, 1.96 million copies were sold in Korea. In Japan for 4 full albums and 27 singles, 8 of those sold over 100,000 copies, and one sold over 250,000 copies. Including south-east Asia, at least 4 million albums were sold.

He also criticized abnormal methods of calculating methods. According to him, “SM requested money for back dancers and food. Basically, almost all of the expenses were paid for by DBSK.” He added, “besides this, SM created a local subsidiary and divided the earnings of DBSK into pieces. For example, SM Japan and Avex divided earnings, and this was also divided with Korean SM. With complex divisions, the money for the members were reduced.

Also, he stated that the foreign cars were given to them under the company’s name. “They received cars from SM after an award ceremony. However, the cars were registered in SM’s name and is not owned by DBSK.”

“The three members are as tired as they can get.”

According to this acquaintance, the three members of DBSK are tired of SM’s play with the press. They have no intention to solve this with mere words, and are extremely upset that SM is exaggerating only one side of the story, distorting the truth. He said, “they expected SM to twist words with the press but didn’t realize it would be to this extent. If SM continues this method, I think it would be nearly impossible to work together with SM again. I suspect that they will part with SM and try to find a different solution to settle this.

Their departure from SM does not bean the disbandment of DBSK. He asserts that there is no problems in relationships between all the members. They are still like family and agree that in any situations, they must work together. He said, “Truthfully, all five had the same intentions. But in the process of negotiations, there was differences between the members. That is why only 3 members decided to fight with their company. They all agree that the contract conditions are irrational, it is just that their way of handling it is different.”

“DBSK will continue even after departure with SM”

Micky YooChun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejoong’s will is stronger than ever. The acquittance reported that, “the 3 members are showing stronger wills than before debut. The three members are determined to stick together no matter what hardships come their way.”

They are also determined to get back together as 5 members under the name DBSK. He revealed, “even if the 3 members leave SM through lawsuit, this only means departure from SM. This does NOT mean the disbandment of DBSK. It may be after the 2 remaining members leave, or if they perform from 2 different companies; the 5 want to continue with DBSK.”

Well then, if 3 members leave SM, would they still be able to use the name ‘DBSK.’ Upon researching in the Industrial Property Office, the group name ‘DBSK’ is not registered. SM registered for DBSK trademark in 2004 but was denied. In other words, SM does NOT have the right to the name ‘DBSK.’

According to a ‘Mansung’ Patent Law Firm Office, the patent attorney Hwang Sung Pil said, “Dong Bang means East and one cannot assert exclusive right to use it. Most likely, this was probably the reason why the application was denied 2004. SM cannot assert any trademark rights to the name. If the 5 members are together even away from SM, they will have no problems using the name.”

More than anything, DBSK feels extremely sorry to their fans. This is why they want to go through with performances that were already scheduled. The acquaintance reported, “if they lose the lawsuit, they may have to pay an extreme amount of money for penalty. More than that, they are going through hard times thinking that they will have to be away from their fans while the lawsuit is in process.”

[NEWS] SM Ent’s New Official Statement


TVXQ’s agency SM Entertainment has put forth another official statement to refute the one given by YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu’s side today.

SM sent their statement to various reporters at 8 o’clock on August 3rd and the content was full of points that refuted what Sejong had stated.

SM began off by responding to Sejong’s statement that there was a clause in the contract that stated that unless TVXQ sold 500K copies, they would not receive a single Won from the album sales. SME stated, “TVXQ has received, from when they debuted till now, a total of 11 billion Won (9.2 billion won given during the time + 1.77 billion won given beforehand) , luxury foreign cars (bonuses with no relevance to the contract). In contrast, SM Entertainment was in a deficit for four years after TVXQ’s debut. The opposition (Sejong) has disregarded the fact that income divisions from CFs, events, and other income sources differs depending on the overall economic situation. They are only focusing on one bad side of this contract instead of looking at it as a whole.

On Sejong’s statements about the 13-year ‘lifetime contracts,’ SM stated that, “The Fair Trade Committee’s seven year contract urge does not apply to singers. Also, it states that for singers who are working overseas, there is no limit to how long the contract can be.”

SM stated that, “We have been through five changes already in the contract with the members of TVXQ. And of those two, the clause regarding compensation if TVXQ were to cancel the contract was revised by the Fair Trade Committee,” and “The other three times concerned the divisions of income and the first revision was January 2004 when they debuted. The next two times were in February of 2007 and 2009.”

Also, in regard to Sejong’s statement that, “We (Sejong) have tried numerous times to talk with SME about a compromise,” SME stated, “They have only started asking for a suspension of their exclusive contract after the three members sent us a certification of contents through the firm Sejong in June 2009.”

In reference to the members’ statements that they were only sleeping 3~4 hours per day which resulted in bad health, SM said, “We have always compromised schedules for their health.” And in regards to the cosmetic company, which Sejong stated was not the main cause of this lawsuit, SM stated, “This (the cosmetic company) is the real reason why they filed this lawsuit. This statement can be solidified by the fact that only the three members who have ties to the cosmetic company are filing the lawsuit.”

Regarding TVXQ’s future, SM said, “We would like to solve this problem quickly with the three members who filed this lawsuit.”

Note: 11 billion won = approx US$9 million
