[NEWS] Avex's Statement About TVXQ



AVEX Entertainment Inc.

About TVXQ


Our Tohoshinki members, JEJUNG, YUCHON, and JUNSU have been confronting with SM Entertainment Co.Ltd (headquarters: Seoul, Korea), to apply provisional disposition to stop the exclusive contract effect to Korean court. Regarding this matter, the members have said, “This is a temporary injunction application, do not make any assumption that TVXQ will be disbanded.

”In return, SM Entertainment Co.Ltd also stated, “TVXQ is not a thing such as individual or an enterprise, it’s a group that represents the country as well as Asia. We think TVXQ’s activities should continue.”

From each side statement, it’s clear that both parties do not desire for the disbandment of TVXQ.

Meanwhile, since our company is coordinating with SM Entertainment in planning the future activities of TVXQ in Japan, “Basically we’re the (three) members legal office for activities in Japan.”

However, we have to apologize for everyone’s uneasiness and inconvenience, as we also feel the same way. We will work hard to support TVXQ in Japan, watching the warm future of TVXQ. Thank you.

Dong Bang Shin Ki Micky and Hero to participate in m-flo album




Dong Bang Shin Ki members Micky YooChun and Hero JaeJoong will be participating in Japanese famous hiphop duo m-flo’s 10th anniversary album.

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] With Worries About DBSK’s Disbandment, Chinese Fans Join In The Fan Panic


It seems that the Chinese fans have also joined in the fan panic with the news of danger that Dong Bang Shin Ki will disband.

On Chinese Sina.com and other media, there were reports about Dong Bang Shin Ki members Xiah JunSu, Micky YooChun and Hero JaeJoong has went up to Seoul Central District Court to apply for provisional retractile of their exclusive rights effect from their contract with SM Entertainment.

The reports also went, “With this news of a lawsuit by the Dong Bang Shin Ki members, many of Dong Bang Shin Ki’s fans have been taken aback, especially for their official fanclub Cassiopeia, they are in a panic state.”

With these reports, Chinese fans said, “If this is the route they choose, we will support them”, “But still this is the company that groomed them to be top stars, isn’t that a little too much?” with various responses.

Meanwhile, it has been known that members UKnow YunHo and Max ChangMin has decided not to join the rest of the members in this pending lawsuit.

With these news, there have much speculations that the chance of the group disbanding is high since it has been more than 5 years since they debuted in 2005.

But with that, SM Entertainment released official statements:

  • They said on 1st August morning, “It is true that Xiah, Hero and Micky made the application for provisional disposition to terminate the exclusive rights effects from their contract on 31st July at the district court. With that the company is very taken back by the action, we are trying to get confirm all the truth from them currently. “
  • They continued, “But as a representative group to the country and to Asia, our stand is that activities for Dong Bang Shin Ki have to continue even with this disposition application. And about the problems arising from the discussion to do a cosmetic entreprise, we plan to talk over them and sort out the problems as soon as possible.”
  • SM Entertainment’s representative added about rumours to the band’s disbandment, “On SM’s side, we still have much love for Dong Bang Shin Ki. We do not want them to disband. Let’s resolve this peacefully seeing the long time we have worked together since their debut till now.”

I want to take this chance to also clarify, whatever that is reported on KBites about this case are only from Korean news sites. I don’t care what other sites or forums post, I’m going to stick with just the Korean news article on this case.

[TRANS] Explanation of The Situation with DBSK, SM Ent & AVEX By Korean Cassiopeians

-ALWAYS HAVE FAITH-

by : CASSIOPEIA 데니제제

1. What is DBSK’s break up, and why did this break up news pop out? And are the news about DBSK true?

+ The words about DBSK breaking up came up as the news of the 3 members Jaejoong, YuChun, and Junsu filing a “Provisional disposition of suspending exclusive/ongoing contract” to the court came out. The breaking up rumors are just false rumors. The reason why the breakup rumors came out is because of the news of the members filing a suspension of the contract created more rumors amongst the fans. The most known false rumors flowing around from this were : The members not getting along, and the problems with SM Ent. and the member’s cosmetic line. A these rumors came out the break up rumors came out as well. The only real truth that are out about DBSK is the news about the members filing a suspension of contract. That’s the only one.

2. What is the deal with DBSK’s rumors about setting up a cosmetic company and the problems? What kind of relation does this have?

+ To tell the truth there is no relation with the cosmetic line and DBSK’s break up rumors. Of course the members that had filed the contract suspension were the ones that are opening the store, but the members are not the owners of the cosmetic company. They are just managing ONE store. The only thing the 3 members are responsible for is just ONE branch of the entire company. There were rumors about the members and the company in the past, and it seems to have been building up into false rumors. but the cosmetic line having relations to the reason of why the members have filed the contract suspensions are not true. These rumors are just what the people are assuming because they have no clue what is going on with what is true and what is not true. because of this reason, as long as there has not been a clear statement of confirmation, it is not true.

3. What is a “Provisional disposition of suspending exclusive contract” ? and What happens when this lawsuit is in action?

+ Simply, when you file a lawsuit of suspending a contract, you are basically putting a stop to the validity of the existing contract. An ongoing contract is basically saying that you will stay with the same company for a long time, but DBSK wants to fix the existing contract’s fishy areas and wants to express how the members wants to fix the contract and show what they want. That is it. This filing of lawsuit has nothing to do with DBSK members breaking up. And this lawsuit has nothing to do with who will be WINNING or LOSING. If this file gets passed and accepted then it just means that the existing contract will just lose the validity not that DBSK will leave SM Ent. and have DBSK break up.

4. On the re-contracting, there are talks that Yunho and Changmin have done a re-contract with SM Ent. is this true?

+ I don’t know where you heard this from, but this has never been confirmed formally and is just a false rumor. There has not even been a real news report of this rumor, and it’s JUST the 3 members filing a provisional disposition about the contract. Just because the 3 members have put out a provision doesn’t mean that just because only 3 members did that the other 2 made recontracts. These are just rumors. There were no talks or whatsoever about this. This is untrue.

5. How do we deal with all the false allegations, rumors, and articles that are still spreading?

+ To tell the truth, not all of us have the high tolerance and knowledge to be able to just pass and ignore all the news articles spreading over the internet and the on the search engines. And also the fact that not many of us have unlimited knowledge of how lawsuits work, of course many of us will panic over the news articles talking about the rumors as if they were facts, and about DBSK breaking up. In these kind of cases we just have to stay strong when seeing overly exaggerated articles and false articles. Because we Cassies are together with DBSK we have to show them. We can’t leave rude comments, and to not spread false rumors from reading false articles ourselves. We have to spread the right informations to the people and learn to gain the right information as well. We have to request posts about taking down false informations and post and scrap the articles that have been formally confirmed by sm.ent and from right sources.

6. Even though they are rumors, rumors have been proved true alot of the times. Are there anything out there that are actual facts?

+ As long as the rumors have not been formally confirmed there is no possible way that we can call it actual facts. But we are for sure that the only thing 3 members have done is that they filed a lawsuit to FIX the contract (edit it basically) regarding slave contract, the validity date of the contract, and unfair contract listings. And to do this they have right now put a hard stance by putting a suspension to the validity of the existing contract. A lot of people are saying that DBSK will just become the 2nd H.O.T. and S.E.S. but situation is very different. DBSK is not just top idols in Korea but also artists who are very influential outside of Korea. SM. Dnt is not a company that would kick out DBSK just because their artist put a lawsuit. Even if DBSK was to break up from Sm.ent, this does not mean that DBSK will break up. Many might be asking ‘ What does that mean?’ DBSK is also in contract with a ent. group AVEX in japan. The contract validity with AVEX ent. has not ended and also have contracted with 2 companies for 2 CFs. DBSK also will be participating in Japan’s A-Nation starting today and also on the 1st of August, 22,23,29,and 30.
If DBSK was to even break away from SM Ent, they will have to deal with damages for breach of contract with Avex. Thing will get dirty. There has been the same situation in Japan with a group called SMAP. Back then SMAP’s member Kimura takaya(?) had filed a lawsuit against his own company called Johnny’s ent. The company backed away and reedited the contract and after that all the rest of the idol groups from there follows the new contract. Back then everyone there said that Kimura was going to take off to a new company and be solo, and every year his group gets hit with false rumors of breaking up but they are still together to this day. Anyway again, we believe that it will be best if all you guys would stop making careless judgment about DBSK’s breakup rumors.

SO BASICALLY THE TO POINT IS THAT: DBSK’s members Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu, and Micky Yoochun have filed a lawsuit ” Provisional disposition of suspending exclusive/ongoing contract” based on the contract’s basic terms of conditions, 13 year of slave contract term conditions of money. The false and over exaggerated news reports are overflowing, and the rumors of the company having issues with the members company line and the members not getting along are false. Just because they filed a lawsuit does not mean they are breaking up. They are just filing a lawsuit to FIX the existing contract with SM Ent. They have filed a lawsuit because SM Ent. would not negotiate in talks with the members and they have tried many times. Because negotiations did not get through the members as artist have filed a lawsuit against their company. The only way. So it is best to not believe the false rumors and read false articles.

[NEWS]The effect of swine flu in Japan to DBSK concert

AVEX might cancel their top artist concert around Kansai region including Osaka.

Take note: Tohoshinki has not been mentioned specifically. There is a good chance that the concert will NOT be canceled.


Show business organizers have started taking measures to deal with the surge in swine flu cases in Japan over the last couple of days. With the flu seemingly arriving in Japan with school kids who’ve been studying in North America, schools have been closed in the Kansai area where the cases have been concentrated. J-pop concerts and other events where teenagers would gather in large numbers are also an obvious risk. One of the biggest record labels, Avex Group Holdings, said they would ask concertgoers to disinfect their hands at venues this week. They will also provide iodine mouthwash in toilets and provide face masks for anyone seen to be coughing or sneezing. Avex have upcoming concerts by several major artists: Hamasaki Ayumi (May 20/21) and Otsuka Ai (May 23/24) at Osaka Castle Hall, and Koda Kumi at the Kobe World Kinen Hall (May 23/24). The Kobe venue is also scheduled to host Dreams Come True and Mr. Children this month. Another high profile organization, Johnny’s Jimusho, announced that they would be postponing concerts in the Kansai region. The group Kansai Johnnys Jr. were scheduled to play four shows over two days at the Umeda Geijitsu Gekijo theater in Osaka on May 23-24, but the shows have been indefinitely postponed. Johnny’s say they will notify the 7,600 ticket holders when new dates are decided. Actress Fujiwara Norika was scheduled to attend a Red Cross event at her old high school in Kobe tomorrow, but it has been canceled.
