[TRANS]090723 Oricon Style Magazine August Issue Interview

Changmin
Birthday: 18th February 1988
Height: 186CM
Weight: 61
Blood Type: B

A shy gentlemen who holds a passion

Changmin is in charge of the higher range when singing. A check on his personality “Even if he’s shy and scared of strangers, but once he decided to do something, he’ll do it.” Has a very mature personality. A very humble person who treats others gentle, (it was written in 2008 2nd July Issue) “He has a passion to become better”, he’s a strong person who has a will to move forward.


Yunho
Birthday: 6th February 1986
Height: 184CM
Weight: 66KG
Blood Type: A

Has a charm of being a leader to let everyone depend on. Once focused, he becomes really cool!

TVXQ’s leader, has to listen to the members’ view, then come out with a conclusion when in trouble. His own personality is that “No matter what, I’ll achieve my goals, once you focus on something, there’s sure to be some benefits somewhere” (Written in 14th July 2008 Issue)


Yoochun
Birthday: 4th June 1986
Height: 180CM
Weight: 64KG
Blood Type: O

Have a gentle heart, believing in others and moving towards his goals

In the past Yoochun was said that he was unable to believe anyone. (Written in 28th July 2008 Issue) “However, because of his members and staffs support, he now changed and starts to believe in people”. “In TVXQ, he’ll care more about everyone’s, that kind of balance” and he loves to worry about the others.


Jaejoong
Birthday: 26th January 1986
Height: 178CM
Weight: 63KG
Blood Type: O

Straight forward and innocent!

A curiosity heart that refuse to lose to anyone

Jaejoong’s personality could be considered as straight forward and innocent. In the past interview, it was mentioned, “I’am always thinking that sleeping is a waste of time~ once the sun is up, I have to wake up!”
And just because of this, could conclude that “Because of his curiosity, whatever is in his mind, he’ll just speak it all out”


Junsu
Birthday: 1st January 1987
Height: 178CM
Weight: 60KG
Blood Type: B

He's a professional in intimidating others and creating a very warm atmosphere

Because he had said before "Within TVXQ, I'm a mood maker" therefore he's able to bring everything around him to a high tension. Having a strong service attitude(?). had said before "Even if i was to abandon myself, I wish to make everyone beside me smile"

[TRANS] Ray September 2009 Issue - Food Questions for TVXQ

We can understand Tohoshinki through food. This time, the members personalities will be shown from their opinions.

Q1: During the Tour, which was your favorite local food?
A: [Yunho, Jaejoong] Hokkaido crab miso
Yunho: I/We ate a lot sumptuously.
Jaejoong: The sea urchin was also very delicious.
A: [Yoochun] The curry udon and edamame from Kobe. Recently, I'm hooked! It is very nutritious and the best!
A: [Changmin] Teppanyaki from Hiroshima, especially the oysters! I also like the shellfish. Because it is too good, I would eat and almost cry.
A: [Junsu] Hiroshima's Japanese-style noodle . In "an island which is not an island is Hiroshima" (T/N: word play on "shima" which means island), I ate those noodles. It's great that I can adjust the spiciness too.


Q2: Please tell us your favorite ramen and soup!
A: [Yunho] Pomelo ramen with pork soup. I used to live in a place that had it nearby, but now there is no limited menu for the winter in the store.
A: [Junsu, Changmin]: Shio ramen (T/N: salt-based)
Changmin: Recently, I like the plain soup from last year.
Junsu: I like to have a lot of Shepherd's purse and bean sprouts covered on top.
A: [Jaejoong] Miso ramen and fried meat as a side ingredient. I highly recommend the stores that put a lot of the fried meat in.
A: [Yoochun] With spicy miso as the base, and put all the ingredients on. Before I was hooked on spicy miso, I liked pork ramen for two years. After I am hooked onto something, I tend to continue to like it for a long time.

[News] The Scramble Dramas of Young Idol TVXQ

Group TVXQ has announced their second half year plan.

Out of 5 TVXQ members, the three of them: U-Know Yunho, Hero Jaejoong, and Choikang Changmin have at once declared their appearance in local drama.

Posted Image

On July 28th, SM Entertainment said, “Dong Bang Shin Ki’s Choikang Changmin’s drama, “Paradise Ranch (Paradise Meadow)” will be broadcast at the end of August this year. Next one is the lead actor of September, U-Know Yunho whose drama “Heading to The Ground” will be broadcast. While in October, Youngwoong Jaejoong’s SBS Tele Cinema “Heaven’s Postman” is airing.

3 Actors, Exploding Interest


Being so long focusing both in local and foreign music record activities, the announcement of 3 members at once to become actors is somehow unusual.

Moreover, for Yunho and Jaejoong are officially known to be the first time appearing in formal TV drama therefore gathering a lot of focus and attention. (T/N: Changmin’s drama still has SM in it taking role in production, thus is considered as non-formal drama)

Posted Image

Being compared with other idol groups such as SNSD and Big Bang, their debut steps in acting department is considered a bit late. In 5 years of being singers, there has been a careful talk about deciding to take additional experience as an actor, and feedbacks both from members and staffs were coordinated.

In the end, the final decision of this acting debut is for a belief that there will be explosive reactions from fans.

Applying YoonA’s Case


SNSD’s YoonA, who comes from the same agency as TVXQ, whose previous dramas are getting success is somehow a force for TVXQ.

From KBS 1 family drama last year, “You Are My Destiny” that became a big hit and led to YoonA’s recent MBC drama “Cinderella Man” which shows the range acting of her that gathers a lot of audiences from all kinds of age groups which proves her successful.

Posted Image

The judgment of whether TVXQ can or can’t be “Men YoonA” is decided next.

However, eventhough the broadcasting is still in progress, yet to see the brand value of TVXQ itself to drama area, a ripple effect potential seems to be undoubted.

TVXQ’s Brand Power. Full Wave is Appearing.


On 28th, meeting KBS drama writer, “To couple TVXQ’s characters in drama with relatively popular actresses such as Han Hyo Joo and Go Ara is a prudent decision.” he said. “It will creates a positive effects.”

A more simple speculation was done.

An entertainment person concerned, “TVXQ is an idol group with most local fans. In a drama, you literally can not ignore the power of brands. Fans will definitely watch their dramas and that’s a strong competitive factor other dramas don’t have.”

B entertainment person pointed the wave to effect the result, “They’re building image to TVXQ fans in Korean market about the young idol ‘is trying to make a turn to opposite direction’ ” he added, “These three people will be coming out simultaneously, the ripple effect undoubtedly could be doubled more.”

[TRANS] 090729 Yoochun's Hardships Before Becoming a Singer

Feel free to repost, but please keep the full credits intact. Thanks!

Micky Yoochun's (23) parents, when he was in the sixth grade, moved to the U.S. due to a job relocation. Yoochun spent six years of his life in the U.S. until he decided to return to Korea. Yoochun states, "At that time, during the first year there at the U.S., I was really lonely. I usually spent my days at school or at home. I had no friends at that time."

Yoochun's younger brother, Yoohwan, who was faster at learning English, made friends a lot more quickly than Yoochun.

Since he was at home so much, Yoochun spent most of his time listening to music. And from then on, he decided that when he grew up, he'd become a well-known singer. At the ripe age of 17, Yoochun headed back to Korea to fulfill his dream. He had considered going to Japan, but decided against it since he knew no Japanese, and also, he had left friends from the sixth grade back in Korea.

After arriving in Korea, Yoochun set his heart on learning Japanese. Hence, every single time he were to reply or talk, he talked in Japanese. Yoochun said, "Now that I think about it, it was probably a smarter idea to go to Japan first..."

Yoochun was asked before: "What would happen to you now if you didn't get in TVXQ and gave up on becoming a singer?" He replied, "I'm not too sure, because it has been my dream to become a singer since I was a child."

"What do you think of your life as a singer? Any regrets or hardships?" Yoochun replied to this one like this:
"The only hardship I face is getting out of bed early in the morning. It is really hard." (laughs)

Yoochun's Profile
Name: Park Yoochun
Birthdate: June 4th 1986
Height: 180 cm
Weight: 59 kg
Blood type: 0

Since there are so many groundless rumors about DBSK gonna disband right now.. I want to share this.. and all I can say is I wont believe in any rumors unless I heard it from SM/DBSK themselves...


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 " Provosional 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 " Prvosional 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 Sment. 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 exxagerative 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 informations 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 haved 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. Alot 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.ent 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 SMent, 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 takya(?) 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 theyare still together to this day. Anyway again, we believe that it will be best if all you guys would stop making careless judgement 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 " Provosional 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 overexxagerated 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

^^Lol Jinny, I know right. Whose idea was it to put out a near-porn MV for THSK? hahaha BTW you should probably post a viewer rating on your post just incase the younger DBSK fans are here. =P

And yeah....nothing much to say except ~ ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH ~.

Oh and I've tried to refrain from badmouthing SME through this, but I have to say, they are trying to paint JaeChunSu in a negative light. They are definitely trying to split the group by allocating solo projects for HoMin lately and by leaving out JaeChunSu on the SM website. I really hate that. They will not get away with trying to put all the blame on JaeChunSu and Crebeau. All this rubbish about "we didn't know that it was serious. we will resolve this. we apologise to the fans." RUBBISH. I don't think anything they say will cut it with the fans.

Anyways...on a happier note:

Feel the Love

Always Keep the Faith!!!





TVXQ Friendship Chronicles


"Because of Yoochun I feel safer" - Junsu

"He's (JaeJoong) someone whom I truly want to continue to be with in the future" - Yoochun

"The way we are happy now as the 5 of us..Because I'm so happy the way we are now..I was suddenly overcome with fear that this happiness might go away one day" - JaeJoong

"He's (Yunho) always been a friend like that.So I want to continue to rely on him as a friend. He really is the best leader!" - JaeJoong

"Because I'm his hyung, out of pride I havent really thanked him (Changmin). But, here, I'd like to say thanks to him properly" - Yunho

"Although he (Junsu) might just be joking around, saying something funny, but from that I get comforted. And because of that I get encouraged. Somehow I can rely on him.He's one of the moodmakers that our teams cannot do without" - Changmin

1. During Rising Sun period, Yunho gave his single deck bed to Jaejoong because of Jaejoong's knee injury.

2. During the Rising Sun period, TVXQ won an award, but Jaejoong was not able to turn up because of his injury, so Yunho carried the trophy and said, "This trophy belongs to Jaejoong."

3. Micky and Changmin once said, "Without Yunho, there would be no TVXQ."

4. Junsu's response towards the "changing member incident": "If one of the members leaves the team, I will not stay in TVXQ anymore."

5. Changmin's response towards the "changing member incident": "If any of us leaves TVXQ, I will surely return to my ordinary high school life."

6. When TVXQ were asked about "Who is the person of their fate?", they all answered, "The members", except for Micky.

7. Jaejoong once wrote in his cyworld: "Our friendship is stronger than most people because we talk and breathe in the same room and we eat and sleep in the same place..."

8. 2004, on Micky's birthday, Yunho said to all their fans, "Please look after our Micky, I can't use words to express myself, MICKY, I LOVE YOU!"

9. 10 September 2005, during a fan meeting, Changmin was asked by the reporter about what New Year present he would like to receive next year, and he answered, "The only present that I really want now is Jaejoong hyung's knee can get well soon." After Changmin finished, the camera started focusing on Jaejoong. Jaejoong always doesn't like crying,
but at that very moment, he lowered his head and tried his best not to let his tears run down his cheeks.

10. During a fan meeting, Changmin said, "Only when the five of us are together, are we called TVXQ!"

11. On August 2005, Yunho carried Junsu to the hospital when Junsu had a high fever.

12. When Jaejoong's knee was injured, Yunho wanted him to rest more, but instead, Jaejoong said to Yunho, "Your stomach is not well, you should be the one hospitalized, not me."

13. In the X-Man "Of Course" game, Yunho said the Junsu, "Did you know that I love the four of you very much?"

14. Yunho's reason for why he is always the one to take the initiative of taking care of everything regarding all thorny issues and all the awkward matters is, "Because I'm the leader who loves all my members."

15. November 2004, there were rumours about LSM replacing Jaejoong with someone else. Micky shed tears in the "I Believe" live performance when he knew about it.

16. Yunho's stomach is not well, so Changmin would always write him a reminder note saying, "Don't always forget to eat just because of work" and slip it into his pocket. Junsu would also always remind him, "Eat your food on time!"

17. When Yunho is asked which member he likes the most, he answers first with an "also like".

18. At a fan meeting, Micky said, "Not only two years, but even until twenty, two hundred, two thousand years... we always have to be together."

19. In April of 2004, when Micky was hospitalized, Micky got angry because Junsu didn't visit him.

20. One time, Junsu wrote "Dong Bang Shin Gi Big Success" on a piece of paper, and then pasted it on the wall.

21. In 2004, Micky was pranked on some show. A tarot reader gave him a reading and told him that he was going to have very bad luck (of course, it was a lie XD). Jaejoong said, "Your luck is bad, so don't cause trouble for the rest of TVXQ." Micky was very upset. After the show, he ran backstage and was feeling miserable, but then Jaejoong went backstage too and gave him a hug.

22. On July 7, 2005, when TVXQ were in Fangshan, Beijing, female reporters were interviewing Jaejoong. He carefully answered the questions and then made eye contact smiled at him and gave a little nod as if to tell him, "Yes, you answered very well." with leader Yunho as if asking him, "Did I answer appropriately?" Yunho

23. One time, when Junsu was pranked as an experiment, Yunho and Jaejoong acted as if there was some serious internal strife going on within the group. Poor Junsu was so scared, he nearly cried. *this show that he really love the members*

24. When Yunho was pranked as an experiment, before his four fellow members carried on with the prank, they turned to the camera and said, "Yunho, we love you!"

25. Jaejoong said that when the five members cannot find their own underwear, they will wear each others'. XD

26. In 2005, when Micky was celebrating his birthday in Japan, reporters were asking if they prepared any presents for him. Junsu said, "No, we didn't. There is just our sincerity." Yunho said, "I think, this is what makes a true partner."

27. Everybody's appraisals of Jaejoong: Yunho said, "Although sometimes, he can be rather rough, he is actually the one most like a mother. He is the most gentle member." Junsu said, "He is the most empathic member who cares most about others when they get sick." Yoochun said, "He is a reliable person who will always stand by your side. He is a member of members." Changmin said, "When you compare him to others of the same age, you cannot imagine... Once you look at him, you get an impression of light and nostalgia."

28. At a fanmeeting, Junsu said, "The members are like my brothers. We are just like a family."

29. Back then, four of the members all want to raise dogs, but because Yoochun is scared of them, they all discarded their ideas of getting a dog. *but now allof them have their own dogs already*

30. In 2006, when it was Yunho and Changmin's birthdays, Jaejoong especially wrote a letter for Yunho. JJ, Micky, and Junsu got two pizzas and JJ lighted candles to put on them.

31. In order to make leader Yunho seem taller, Changmin, the actual tallest member, would tend to bend his knees a bit.

32. After Jaejoong's injury, at a fanmeeting, Jaejoong said to the members and fans, "I don't feel any pain. Please do not cry for me! Actually, once I see you guys, I do not feel any pain anymore!"

33. During an interview, Yunho said, "I hope that no matter how many and how great our difficulties may be, we will always overcome them together. Just as long as the five of us are together, we are most happy."

34. The five of them would throw blankets at each other in their dormitory, play rock paper scissors, and play hide and seek in the park.

35. The members said that the five of them have to find some time in the future to go someplace peaceful and quiet, where they can really have fun together.

36. Micky, whose family is in the US said, "Mom is always worried about me living by myself away from home, but because I have the members, I have never felt lonely."

37. When Yunho was asked what his continuing power is, he answered, "Encouragement of the members."

38. Jaejoong said that, "When cooking, salt and sunshine are very important, but Yunho is very important too!".

39. Yunho said that if he was not a member of TVXQ, he would have become a fan of Jaejoong.

40. Yunho said that meeting the four members was the greatest event of his life. He also said that whenever he comes across the word "Promise", he would think about his members.

41. When TVXQ were asked what they most wanted to continue, Yunho answered, "I hope that the members of TVXQ would always continue. Right now, our friendship is already even stronger,very strong. But I hope that in the future, it will definitely grow!" Yoochun said, "I hope that the friendship between the members will always remain." Junsu said,
"The health of the members is what is most important!"

42. Jaejoong said that if he wanted the presents that fans gave to other members, he can secretly take them. He took someone's shoes, but forgot who they originally belonged to.

43. At a KBS award ceremony, when Yunho and Jaejoong were speaking, Yunho noticed something in Jaejoong's hair and helped him pull it out.

44. In the 51st X-Man, when Micky was playing a game with others, it was very awkward. Yunho, who was on a different team from Micky, especially moved over to Micky's team and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

45. Everyday, Yunho would wake up earlier than the other members and patiently wake them all up.

46. Yunho said, "We are the Dong Bang Family. I am the daddy, Jaejoong is the mommy, Changmin is the youngest child, and Junsu and Yoochun are..." at this time, Junsu interrupts with a, "Yoochun is my wife!" XD

47. During the Rising Sun period, Jaejoong was injured and had to use crutches. Yunho would always be following behind him and would gently place his hands on JJ's shoulders to prevent him from falling.

48. During any member's birthday, the other members would pretend that they do not remember the birthday, but would then hold a surprise party.

49. Sept. 10 2005, at a fanmeeting, because Jaejoong could not stand, they all sat down to sing Hug.

50. During the filming of a Samsung camera commercial, Yunho had a backache, so Jaejoong helped him pound his back.

51. Before a performance, Jaejoong would help Yunho fix his tie.

52. In March 2005, when they were in China, Jaejoong's tie came off. Yoochun helped him pull it back while Changmin helped him hold the microphone.

53. During March 2005, in China, Yoochun used his hands to help pick off the tissue paper that was covering Junsu's face.

54. Each time they receive an award, they would always thank "The Members"

55. 09-04-08 Jaejoong UFO Replies

Fan: No matter what, you guys are always five. Even until the end, you guys have to be with Cassiopeia~ ^^ Promise!
Jaejoong: No matter what, we are always five. ^^

Dong Bang Shin Ki members to come out and
talk about rumours on disband tomorrow


Dong Bang Shin Ki members Hero JaeJoong, Micky YooChun and Xiah JunSu will make their official stand about rumours on the group’s disbanding.

The trio came back to Korea on 2nd August and had meeting with the people in charge and made their official stand about the news reports and all on 3rd August .

A representative said, “The 3 members came back to Korea on 2nd August, after discussions with their families and with the people in charge, they will reveal their official stand about the news – whether they are just speculations and also to clarify any mis-reported details.”


Meanwhile, SM Entertainment said on 1st August, “Dong Bang Shin Ki’s activities have to go on.”

The 3 members had went down to Seoul Central District Court to file for a retractile of their exclusive belonging rights with SM Entertainment on 31st July, causing an outrage of speculations about the group’s disbanding and also problems between the members and SM.

But it was known that the 3 joined the group for their performance at A-Nation on 2nd August in Tokyo. They have also made it clear that they will be participating in the SMTown Live 09 concert on 16th August.

A few more hours till the presscon. *scared*

Anyways just wanted to spread the word about a project for the boys. There's a "petition" going on. Well it's not really a petition as such. The project founder said it was just the easiest way to collect messages. So yeah...please just take a moment to sign the petition along with a short message of support. So far there's approx 2700 signatures since it started last night. Let's show the boys are support.

CLICK HERE

And don't forget the video project that AyuForeverwithHero posted above. ^^ The deadline for that is August 3, 2009; 5PM KST which is about 8hrs from now.
I just noticed the email address on the ad for the video project is different from the one that soompi and dbsg lj are promoting. Is it the same project??? The one from soompi and lj is TVXQalways@gmail.com.
Same email guys, email to either one.

vv cool thanks.



~ always keep the faith~

090802 Reasons Why The 'TVXQ Situation' Must End Well

The Korean music industry is in a muddle due to the current 'TVXQ Situation.' There are rumors of disbandmnet and rumors that TVXQ will come out of this a newly improved group; the vast number of predictions and rumors are getting muddled up in the minds of K-pop fans. However if there's one thing for sure, it is that TVXQ cannot fall now.

We can see the reasons for this at a domestic-foreign level. [cont.]

# Domestic reasons - Don't steal the dreams and hopes of the young fans who are all living in a difficult generation

Let's look inside of our country first.
Amongst the idol groups in Korea, there is no group that can follow TVXQ when it comes to garnering fans. Many fans are hoping for their success and improvement. TVXQ's failure is their failure, TVXQ's disbandment will only lead to the fans' dreams being shattered. Considering the fact that the vast majority of TVXQ fans are teenagers, TVXQ cannot fall now. TVXQ must get back on their feet and move on if they wish to preserve the hopes and dreams that their fans keep deep in their hearts.

TVXQ must know what to do for their fans who have gone through as much as the group has.


# Foreign reasons - Are they just going to let the best Hallyu group fall?

What about outside of Korea?
TVXQ is now undisputably a global brand. They are no longer an 'internal brand.' To grow as a global brand, they must show leadership in domestic and foreign markets. In the foreign markets, TVXQ has already been labeled as a Hallyu force to be reckoned with.

To reach such a level of success, TVXQ has worked extremely hard till now. They stayed in Japan for more than one year and started from the bottom all the way up.
They made themselves be known to Japanese fans by riding on the subway, and slept four hours everyday so they could star in all of Japan's TV programs, and worked extremely hard to be accepted by the Japanese public. They knew of the 'bread of tears,' and knew that they had to work extremely hard to be known in a foreign country. Now they are the best Hallyu group in Japan. 8 in every 10 Japanese people know who they are.
Now they can 'harvest the fruits' of their hard work. But if they fall and separate now, what becomes of the hard work and tears they suffered through?

Right now, there is a dire need for more Hallyu stars in the Korean entertainment business. They need to protect the fast-falling Hallyu Wave, and open up new doors to foreign markets. But to do so, the need a 'ticket power' who is accepted by foreigners as well as the Korean people.


# TVXQ no longer belongs to one person. TVXQ belongs to everyone.

TVXQ does not belong to one person, nor does TVXQ belong to one agency. The group is now Korea's TVXQ, and Asia's TVXQ. One person cannot sacrifice the majority for their own personal reasons. TVXQ's agency SM must now do their share by giving things that should have been given, but weren't and having heartfelt discussions with TVXQ to protect our TVXQ.

We are all waiting anxiously for 'Global Brand' TVXQ's 'New Chapter'.

DBSK Hero, Micky and Xiah’s official stand about their discord with SM

Idol group Dong Bang Shin Ki’s members Micky YooChun, Hero JaeJoong and Xiah JunSu finally revealed their stand about their problems with SM Entertainment.

Their representative revealed through news media on 3rd August, “The 5 years period after they debuted, the 3 of them felt that their minds and their bodies are tired having to follow the tight schedule that the company put up unilaterally.”


They continued, “Kim JunSu, Kim JaeJoong and Park YooChun has been following SM’s instruments from beginning of 2004 till now, going back and forth promoting in Korea, Japan, China etc, and in a year except for 1 week they get only 3-4 hours of sleep a day to do our schedule.”

Also, “In the process the health of the 3 members are very much deteriorated, they are also suffering from mental fatigue, and as time went SM continue to established on their own decision for Dong Bang Shin Ki to advance into other countries. In the end the 3 members felt that as compared to be fulfilling their dreams to be singers, they are used more as a tool by the compared to earn profits, and they wish to use each of the members to also go into other entertainers’ activities.”

The 3 members’ representative also added, “It is a 13 years contract but in reality it is a lifetime contract. With the exclusive rights clause in the contract, the 13 years also include the time the members are serving their military service, hence it will go for more than 15 years. And now it has not even been near to 10 years since the group’s debut, hence it seems like the contract will last until the members’ retirement from the entertainment zone. The penalty for retracting the exclusive right clause is 3 times the investment cost and 2 times the lost in earnings. They also asked about the penalty of cancelling the whole contract but it will involve several hundred billions KRW of penalty, hence in reality there is no way out but to be tied down to SM because of the contract.”

Also, “The members did not receive the right treatment even from SM. Without getting any contract fees, the initial contract was that if their album sells more than 500K copies, each member will get about 10 million KRW during the next album release. If they sell less than 500K copies of album, they will get nothing.”

The 3 members had went down to Seoul Central District Court to file for a retractile of their exclusive belonging rights with SM Entertainment on 31st July, causing an outrage of speculations about the group’s disbanding and also problems between the members and SM.

TVXQ's Xiah Junsu (Kim Junsu), YoungWoong Jaejoong (Kim Jaejoong), and Micky Yoochun (Park Yoochun), who filed for a Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional Disposition Request against SM Entertainment on July 31st, have finally released their official statement.

The three revealed today that, "For the past five years, the agency has been controlling everything and because of everything we have gone through, we are so worn out mentally and physically."


#1. For the past five years, the agency has been controlling everything and because of everything we have gone through, we are so worn out mentally and physically.

Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoon, and Park Yoochun debuted in group TVXQ in the early months of 2004 and have been, with the order of SM, traveling back and forth from Korea, Japan and China. They have been completing their schedules by sleeping only 3~4 hours every night every single day except for one week of the year. Because of this, the three members' health has been affected greatly and the amount of stress and mental weariness they received was huge. However, the more SM got TVXQ involved in foreign activities, the more tiring and almost impossible the activities became. The three members finally began to feel like they were no longer SM artistes who were striving to reach their dreams, but mere tools for the agency to get money.But the three still wish to continue with their activities as a singer according to their own visions.


#2 The exclusive contract that was set for 13 years is in fact a 'slave contract'

When they talk of the exclusive contract, they refer to their contract that lasts 13 years. However, when they add the years they will serve in the military, the period will extend to at least 15 years which would mean that they would have to be celebrities under SM's rule for at least ten more years before they could even consider retiring. If they were to cancel their contract before the 13 years were over, they would have to pay a fine that was thrice the amount of all the investments made and twice the amount of how much they earned. As this amount would add up to tens of millions of dollars if they were to cancel their contract, they had no other choice but to stay at SM under the same conditions they are suffering because of right now.


#3 The members did not receive as much as they should have for their hard work

Just because they were tied to such a contract, doesn't mean they received fair treatment from SM for their hard work. They received no money for the contract, and when the division of income is seen for their albums, their contract states that each member can receive 1000,000 won only if they sell more than 500,000 copies of their album. If they do not reach 500,000 copies, they do not receive a single won from the income earned from the album This clause was altered on 2009.2.6 but even after the alteration, the members only receive around 0.4~1% each from the album sales.


#4 The members have tried numerous times to fix the contract, but SM did not listen to their pleas.

Therefore, the three members repeatedly asked for a suspension of their exclusive contract so they could follow their own visions of being a singer, but SM tried to move the spotlight towards the three's cosmetic company, which has nothing to do with this trial. So the three people believed that the least they could do was have the two sides talk and reach a compromise that both sides would agree on and even offered to find a proper place to do so, but not only did SM ignore this, their past and current attitude made it almost impossible for there to be any talks with SM. There was no hope for any talks to happen with the agency and that is why the three members decided to file this lawsuit.


#5 The investment in the cosmetic company was something they did outside of their activities as a celebrity, it has nothing to do with this lawsuit. The focus point is the unlawfulness of the exclusive contract.

SM revealed in their official statement that the three members were filing this lawsuit because of problems that arose because of the cosmetic company. However, the members' investment in the cosmetic company has nothing to do with this lawsuit. The company SM is referring to is the Chinese branch of the company that the three members invested in, and this was purely a personal investment that had nothing to do with their activities as celebrities. No one can say that TVXQ should lose everything they have worked so hard for until now just because of an investment of $1 million in a cosmetic company that is opening in China; that is ridiculous to even consider. The core of what the members see as a problem is the unlawfulness of the exclusive contract. SM must stop trying to move the spotlight to the cosmetic company that has nothing to do with the case.


#6 None of the members want to disband, all they want is to escape from the tirades of their contract.

They realized that many fans feared that a disbandment would arise from this lawsuit. However, this lawsuit should never be linked to the possible disbandment of the group. Only the three members are involved in this process because of a difference in opinion of a method of approach between the members, but there are no strains whatsoever between the members and they all wish to keep their promise to their fans and stay together. If they had even a small chance to fix the unlawful clauses in their contract and pursue their music careers in the way they wanted, they were willing to go through with this process with ony the firm belief that all five of them would be able to stand on one stage together in front of their fans even after this ordeal.



#7 They take this as a step to become more mature

The three members are extremely sorry for frightening the fans who care so much about TVXQ with this lawsuit, but they believe this is a step towards a bigger dream. They promise that they will be able to come out of this situation as better people and a better group if they receive support from their fans.

090803 TVXQ's 3 members "No Conflict Amongst Members"

Reporter: Chang Soyun

"There are no conflicts between the members. The application for temporary injunction of their contracts is not a premise for the disbandment of TVXQ."

In a press release today, 3 members of the 5-member idol group TVXQ which is managed by SM Entertainment, Jejung (Stage name: Hero, Real name: Kim Jaejoong), Yuchun (Stage name: Micky, Real name: Park Yoochun) and Junsu (Stage name: Xiah, Real name: Kim Junsu), also touched on the topic of "disbandment".

On the morning of the same day, the legal representative of the 3 members, Lim Sang-hyuk from law firm Sejong expressed, "Although many fans are worried about TVXQ disbanding, this application for temporary injunction of their contracts is not a premise for the disbandment of TVXQ.The members just have a difference in opinion on how to resolve the problem which is why only 3 of the members have joined in, but there is no problem amongst the members."

He also said, "All the members feel the same way about wanting to protect the promises they have made to their fans. The case this time is to remedy the injustice of the contract, to be given the right to prepare their music freely under the right conditions, and stand together again before all their fans."

DBSK Shock: 'Insiders vs. Fans'- Two different views

Article Credits: Gil Hye Sung reporter @ Real Time Entertainment News
Translation Credits: j.adore @ Soompi


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.

Do you still remember the Cassiopeia song which has the lyrics "ONLY FIVE, FOREVER FIVE"? In my heart they will stay as TVXQ, one group, one soul. they are, like, the best group ever in the entire world. They withstood hardships, toil and the harsh realities of the world. They started young and were devoid of experiences they ought to have as youngsters. But in pursuit of their dreams of being the best, and putting their country into the limelight, they endured all of these obstacles, and came out big winners not only in the hearts of their countrymen but also in the hearts of foreigners.

I do believe that Korea will lose such a big icon attached to its noble name once TVXQ disappears. Actually, I long have wanted TVXQ to depart from SM. Our guys deserve to be treated as musicians, artists - that is, with a great amount of respect - for their talent has contributed much to the betterness of this world which, somehow, has lost its beauty because of the fast pace of life.

In actuality, TVXQ made a big difference in my life. They have created in me a dream, a longing - that is to continue fighting and hurdle the obstacles that lie my way. I envy their spirit, their persistence especially in learning a language which is foreign to them. They enticed me to study the Korean language so that, somehow, I will not demand them to speak the language that I know but reach out to them and understand them. I even started studying Japanese because they challenged me with their proficiency. TVXQ has made me dream bigger and made me believe in those dreams, like the way they believed in theirs. Their indomitable spirit and unwavering faith in themselves and their bond has not only touched me but influenced me to the extent that I am extending this spirit to the people i come in contact with. They are a significant milestone in my life and they will forever linger in my memory.

I want them to realize that there are people who are out here, outside the realm they are used to, praying hard that they will be able to surpass this undoubtedly humongous obstacle. For five long years they have withstood the tests of time... years when they were still younger... they have all conquered those enemies in their youth; I strongly believe that NOW they will, once more, vanquish this evil that came their way.

In my heart, they will remain "ONLY FIVE, FOREVER FIVE..."


Please share your stories here. Somehow, with our collective, unwavering FAITH, UNITED VOICE, and JOINED PRAYERS, our dear boys will be able to hurdle this obstacle.

Let us keep our spirits up! LET US FIGHT THE WAY OUR KINGS FIGHT. LET US NOT WAVER IN OUR RESOLVE. FOR THEY HAVE STOOD BRAVELY BEFORE THEIR ENEMY, UNDAUNTED, FILLED WITH FORTITUDE. IT IS ONLY FITTING FOR US TO STAND BEHIND THEM. LET US KEEP THE LINE. KEEP IT INTACT UNTIL THEY COME BACK!

Is TVXQ Headed for Breakup?

[2009.08.03]

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.

Park Chan Jong: “SM, fraud against DBSK.”

Park Chang Jong lawyer former member of the National Assembly, who previously dealt with big cases such as ‘Minerva’ and Park Yeon Cha case revealed his stance on the controversial DBSK Case. He is the representative of ‘Honest People’ and in a report stated that, “it is clear the contract DBSK signed with SM is a slave contract. He asserted in the case with SM Entertainment’s battle, DBSK’s company’s acts, according to the criminal law, can be considered as fraud against minors. He criticized the 13 year contract and especially stressed that it is a fraud against minors.

According to criminal law article 384, clause 1, “this type of fraud states that taking advantage of the lack of judgment minors or disabled people can have and thus, profits from is punishable for up to 10 years of penal servitude or for up to 20 million wons of penalty.

Following, SM signed a contract with DBSK who were minors, and thus were not in conditions to make informed judgments, and made immense profit.

He added that this case must be taken as a lesson in order to eradicate the slave contracts employed by many entertainment companies. He especially pointed out the injustice parts in DBSK’s contract.
He stated:
-By setting the contract condition for 13 years, when the 5 members of DBSK were minors, SM took into consideration of their life as entertainers, and in result, tied them down for life
-Upon cancellation of contract, required for penalty 2 times the amount of future earnings
-Upon signing of the contract, did not confirm the original contract with the party
-Concerning their earnings, required the album sales to exceed 500,000 copies for the parties to receive 10 million wons the next year

Further, he stated, “the criminal acts by SM can be accused not only by DBSK members but a third party and this must be an opportunity to learn lessons eradicate the slave contracts.”

Japan's Say on TVXQ's Lawsuit, Japan supports Tohoshinki

- note: this is a fan's observation -

Entertainment news I had watched in Japan:

On "Akko ni Omakase" TV program, they did not take much time to go over the details, but Akko said, "It took time for them to be known here in Japan and also their Japanese had improved really well..." which sounded like she was sorry for the members.

On "Sukkiri" TV, they covered both sides of the story (but at that time, the three members' lawyer's comment had not been released). However, they did not say anything bad which could cause a negative image for TVXQ.

For "Miyaneya," they mentioned the three members' lawyer's comment.
There seemed to be a Japanese lawyer on that TV show who said that the members request would have been fulfilled if it was in Japan, but he said that he is not sure about the case in Korea.

He also talked about the side business (cosmetic business) and said that even in Japan, there are many stars who do side businesses, so it should not be the problem. They sounded like that they were on TVXQ's side more than SM's.

Mr. Miyane also said that "TVXQ's members are hardworking young men who are all really pure individuals. I do not know if I should say that, but the members sure are that kind of people."

On "Sukkiri," Terry Ito and Mifune were there. Mifune said that the members are "real gentlemen." They also mentioned "For fans, TVXQ is TVXQ when there are five of them."

Their comments were in favor of TVXQ which show the result of the effort, hard work and politeness of TVXQ while they worked in Japan.

I wrote this since I thought that there will be many fans in Korea who are worried about how it (the lawsuit) is broadcast in Japan.

[TRANS] 09.08.04 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.

09.08.04 Wrong Information Being Written In News Articles

This was written by a member of DNBN.
This post has been praised by many fans as the best summary of wrong information being used by reporters.

Since this lawsuit is such a ‘hot topic’, the sheer number of articles that are coming out is massive.
It is difficult for even fans to go through every single article,
so most people will base their opinions on this topic from reading a couple of articles.

There is a lot of wrong information in these articles,
I write this to clear up a couple of errors.

However, since there is a vast amount of articles coming out even as I write,
it is impossible to address every single article or issue.
Therefore, I cannot say that I have addressed all of the issues that need correction.
But I will tell you of a couple that I have found to be important.

Even if I use parts of some reporters’ articles,
does not mean that I am intending to criticize them, I’m saying this in advance.
I have no intention of criticizing or attacking the reporters who wrote the articles I am using.

1. TVXQ’s solo activities=Disbandment of the Group?

There are a lot of articles regarding the solo activities of the members.
They point out that the two who aren’t participating in this lawsuit are going into acting,
and there are so many unclear statements made by “representatives of the side”, rather than the actual person.

There have even been articles where they have stated,
“Other than the two other members, the three members who have filed this lawsuit did not have plans for solo activities which adds more speculation to this case.”

However, according to the news on Donga.com on July 30th,
the members who have filed this lawsuit also had solo activities planned.

——————————————

YoungWoong Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun will take on the Japanese market as a duet by the name of ‘Jejung and Yuchun from TVXQ.’ The two revealed their duet song at the Tokyo Dome performance in early July. The song, ‘COLORS ~Melody&Harmony~’ will be released as a single in September and the two members are planning to attend tv programs to promote the song. This song has been getting a lot of attention as it was chosen as the theme song for ‘Hello Kitty’’s 35th Anniversary.

Xiah Junsu is still considering his choices such as a solo album. A representative of SM stated, “Xiah Junsu was actually the first to embark on solo activities when he appeared in the 2007 mobile phone commercial ‘Anyband’,” and “He will choose between the Korean and Japanese stage and is currently decided what he will do. His activities will be revealed soon.
——————————————

According to this article, SM already had solo activities for all five members lined up for the second half of the year.
The Japanese Unit activity ‘Jejung and Yuchun from TVXQ’ already had a jacket cover and was running quite smoothly.
Also, a SM representative gave testimony that member Xiah Junsu was also planning a solo activity.
We just aren’t sure what will happen now, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t anything reported about it before.

2. TVXQ’s Vacation period Scandal

According to the official statement put out by the three members,
“Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoon and Park Yoochun have been going back and forth Korea, Japan and China ever since their debut in 2004 and have been getting 3~4 hours of sleep per night, except for one week in a year, to complete their schedules.”

SM’s new statement refutes this statement by saying,
“Regarding the schedules, we have always compromised performances for their health.”

One article said,
“After completing their Tokyo Dome concert on the 5th, the members returned to Korea for approximately a month-long unannounced vacation.”

It is incredibly hard to know the exact length of the vacation and the health of the members,
but the article that states that TVXQ’s break went as long as a month is wrong.
It can be seen that the truth regarding pre-announced vacations is closer to the members’ official statement than SM’s.

It was reported that the members received a vacation after their Tokyo Dome concert,
but the actual length of the vacation can be seen as 7~10 days, not one month.

If information from July 15th is seen, it can be seen that TVXQ’s vacation officially started on the 13th.
http://sports.hankoo...06295395510.htm

However, according to an E-daily article on July 23rd,
“U-Know Yunho, who has been busy going from TVXQ’s Japan Tour to the ‘MIROTIC’ Asia Tour Concert, returned to his home last week to rest, but is currently in Japan.”

This means that TVXQ’s vacation went from the 13th to the 23rd, at the most. Which would mean that they only had ten days of rest.

There are other articles regarding TVXQ’s vacation periods in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
But as the reported vacation periods differ slightly from actual vacation periods as the one above differs,
I won’t put them up, but you can easily predict that the vacation periods were about the same as the one above.

3. After TVXQ’s debut, SM was in a deficit for 4 years

According to an article reported yesterday,
“TVXQ has received 11 billion Won till now and have also been given luxury foreign cars. On the other hand, SM was in a deficit for four years after TVXQ’s debut.”
But, TVXQ’s received amount of money and SM’s deficit do not have a lot in common.

As TVXQ matured and grew, so did SM Entertainment.
Even if you search ‘venture’ in DNBN, you get these three articles.

SM Entertainment, Karaoke venture started…the agency’s stars collaborate
SM Entertainment, Fashion Business venture started
SM Entertainment, Musical Business venture started

If you search this on various portal sites,
you will find that SM has been growing into and investing in many fields.

If you take that into consideration, you’ll be able to conclude exactly where the money the SM artistes are earning in Asia is actually going.
You will also be able to see that tying SM’s deficit to TVXQ’s salary is quite a stretch.

Also, in accordance to the statement put forth today,

the luxury imported cars were in fact registered under SM’s name, not the members’. Sejong’s side stated that, “It is true that the members received cars as presents from SM after an awards ceremony. However, they were all cars registered under SM’s name, not the members’ names. Therefore, they do not and did not belong to TVXQ.”

http://www.sportsseo...7287253487.html

This article points out the numerous flaws in SM’s statements so please use it as reference.

#4. The Cosmetic Company

SM has linked the cosmetic company with the lawsuit in both of their official statements.
This isn’t something worth talking about, so I’ll make it short.

Please check Sejong’s official statement.

“SM keeps stating that the cosmetic company the three members invested in is the core of this lawsuit, but the investment the members made has nothing to do with this case. The cosmetic company SM keeps bringing up is a company that is planning on opening a branch in China and one that the three members decided to personally invest in, it has nothing to do with their work as celebrities. Think about it. Why would TVXQ give up everything they’ve worked for till now for 100 million Won they invested in a cosmetic compnay that is opening a branch in China? It is completely illogical. The core to this case is the unlawful exclusive contract, and SM is trying to divert the attention away from that by bringing up a cosmetic company that has no relevance whatsoever.”

If you read this, you’ll know that there is nothing scandalous about the cosmetic company.

However, if you stil have doubts, I’ll put in a parody of this situation.

If a working man wants to hear himself be called CEO, Manager or Director,
he should just open a fried chicken shop near his house.
Then he will go from being a normal working man to a chicken billionaire.
Just invest 100 million Won in a chicken company and you too can become a chicken billionair opening branches in China.

It’s like this kind of situation. I hope you get where I’m going with this.

5. Official Fan Club Cassiopeia

In many of the articles coming out these days, TVXQ’s official fan club is mentioned a lot.
There have been claims that the representatives and leaders of Cassiopeia have been getting together.
These claims are all wrong but the articles about them just keep coming.

It seems the reporters know more than the actual fans do, but
There are no leaders or representatives for TVXQ’s official fan club Cassiopeia
All the interviews with Cassiopeia’s leader are false.
All the claims that the representatives of Cassiopeia got together to assemble a candle protest are false. Every single one of them.


TVXQ fans are coming together on fan site and fan cafes to discuss the situation at hand,
but there are no official representatives or leaders in Cassiopeia.

These are just some of the errors I have found in articles.
The amount is small compared to the vast number of misleading articles.
But with these few, I hope that whatever is wrong is set right.

Oh, and last but not least.
This post does not reflect the opinions of all of the fans.
These are my thoughts on what I’ve read and the information I have seen so far,
this is not an official statement made by Cassiopeia

09.08.04 TVXQ’s Fanclub Speaks Out

As TVXQ, the group with the largest fan club in Korea, got into a legal dispute with SM Entertainment, the fans could be heard voicing their opinions that, “The group’s continued existence is more important than SM.”

TVXQ’s fan club Cassiopeia, who hold the Guiness World Record for the largest fan club with around 800K members, began an ‘Against TVXQ’s Disbandment’ petition on an Internet portal site. This petition that aims to collect 200K signatures has already collected 20K in the past four days.

The majority of the fans are on the side of ‘TVXQ’s three members’ rather than the side of ‘SM.’

Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun stated that an ‘unlawful exclusive contract’ was the main reason behind their lawsuit and said they wanted to fix their 13-year contract, dubbed a ‘for life contract’. The fans are completely behind this statement and say that if the contract is fixed, TVXQ will be able to overcome this disbandment crisis.

On various forums on portal sites and petitions, the fans have written, “SM must fix the slave contract they have imposed on TVXQ,” and have been trying as hard as they can to make sure that the worst-case scenario will not happen.

The well-formed international fan base is also behind TVXQ. On one Chinese portal site, a survey revealed that around 52.1% (around 4000 people) of fans were behind TVXQ. The group’s Japanese fan club ‘Bigeast’ members have been having a comment relay in which they all state that a disbandment cannot happen.

On the other hand, as time passes by, the rift between the statements of SM and TVXQ seems to grow deeper and deeper.

TVXQ stated on the 3rd that, “Our 13-year contract really means a ‘for life contract’ and because of the compensation we would have to pay, it is impossible for us to cancel the contract,” and “”We are not trying to disband TVXQ with this lawsuit.”

SM, on the other hand, stated, “This lawsuit occurred because of the cosmetic company the three members are investing in. And TVXQ has till now earned 11 billion Won in cash.”

[/size=4]09.08.04 TVXQ Fans Speak Out Once More[/size]

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.”

09.08.04 TVXQ’s Concert Phenomenon in China

On the 2nd of October, Korea’s popular group TVXQ will be having their 3rd Asia Tour Concert ‘MIROTIC’ in Shanghai at the Hongkou Football Stadium once again. Although there are still two more months and the tickets have been on sale for only a week, most of the tickets have already been sold. Because of the astonishing speed at which the tickets were purchased even in the same venue shortly before, Mayday (a popular Chinese band) will have a hard time catching up with them. Many fans who weren’t able to get tickets from the ticketing company are even willing to buy them online for about 3000-5000 yuan (USD438-731), which is about four times the original price.

The organizers also said that no more tickets are being sold at the moment. They also found out that in the past, other fanclubs would buy concert tickets for TVXQ’s concerts, but they would not turn up in the end, leaving the front rows empty. The organizers said that they cannot stop this from happening and they are unable to judge who the people doing the “joy-buying” are. However, they remind fans to be rational and to not be used by others.

TVXQ’s ticket sales exceeded the organizer’s expectation and the China tour has caused the ticket sales to rise – Nanjing concert tickets managed to exceed 10 million within 3 days and the Beijing concert tickets were sold out in a week. However, Shanghai’s concert stands out the most as the tickets were sold out in an amazing speed.

Recently, fans are not able to get tickets through official ticketing companies; they managed to find a lot being sold online at very high prices. This has caused many fans to be doubtful of the tickets being sold on the internet. One fan said that even at last year’s China concert during May where the venue was smaller than the current one, they were still able to get tickets.

Even one concert ticket is difficult to get. All other outlets selling the concert tickets will definitely be overcrowded. A reporter managed to contact the head of the ticketing office, and the head told the reporter that even before the tickets were made available for selling, some fanclub organizers were already requesting to buy the tickets in bulk. He then went on to explain to the reporter that buying tickets in bulk like this is very common in Korea as Koreans don’t really like to buy them on their own and they prefer to buy in huge bulks.

“TVXQ’s most crucial link is the internet. Cassiopeians have created many fanclubs and between each fanclub, all the members share a very close relationship. Once there is news released on the internet, every Cassiopeian in the world will know of it immediately. Even when the concert tickets have not even begun selling, fanclub organizers will contact ticketing organizers to order tickets. Thus, the fanclubs have a very large power over the purchasing of tickets.”

Even if there is a very well-known and popular group, it is not possible for all the concert tickets to be sold out within two days. Does TVXQ really have that many fans? If each fan really had to buy tickets, then wouldn’t there be many fans buying online tickets which are much more expensive? One fan told the reporters, “Yes, because all fans know that we want to be close to them and be near them, therefore they will deliberately increase the price and hence, we are somehow forced into buying them at high prices.”

The number of TVXQ’s fans is relatively stable, therefore, there can never be a concert with tickets left over. However, there are some very hardcore fans that are professional dealers and will never allow there to be one empty seat in the concert hall, thus, they will manipulate people into buying that last seat in order for the entire hall to be filled up. “Cassiopeans are all mainly young teenage girls who are rather emotional, thus, it is relatively easy for us to pay in order to be able to support our idols. However, we did not expect that this has led us to being manipulated by others.”

Tickets will definitely be very difficult to get for this Shanghai concert. The organizers expressed surprise and frustration, and they are reminding the fans to be calm and rational. They also persuade fans to always buys tickets through legal ways.

Law suit is only a law suit. Five members continue to move together [

After participating in A-Nation on the 1st, it was revealed that the 5 members of DBSK remained at their house together during their stay in Korea. A staff of DBSK revealed on the 5th that the members stayed at their Chungdam Dong house together.

The three members who filed for a provisional disposition on their contract met with their lawyer and revealed their positions on the 3rd. In this situation, it may seem likely that their relationship with the two members may become unconformable BUT they remained at their house, showing the team's unity.

For a while, their previously scheduled events will remain the same. The DBSK members will take part in the '2009 Fireworks Festival' and left together to Japan on the 5th. The staff revealed, "as far as I know, the members left on the 5th on the first flight to Japan. They will also take part in 'SM Town live 09' as planned."

Meanwhile, the members who are filing for the lawsuit, Youngwoong Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun is planning to participate in M-Flo's album, as well as releasing a single, attracting attention of fans. According to DBSK's official Japan website, the two members will take part in M-Flo's album, celebrating their 10th anniversary, by singing "Been so long" on the album.

Also, the duet song 'Colors Melody and Harmony' which was performed last month on the 4th and the 5th for the Tokyo Dome performance, will be released as a single on September 30th. In addition, they are planning to perform a duet song at "Boy pop factory 09" on the 20th.

The opposition of DBSK disbandment is getting stronger. On July 31st, 'DBSK Disbandment Opposition' petition began on Daum Agora and have gotten 23066 signatures so far.

It is widely know that DBSK's official fan club Cassiopeia has over 800,000 members. These fans are considering plans to hold a candelight protest in front of SM in opposition to DBSK disbandment. In response to this, SM stated that there has not been any particular actions by the fans yet.

The League of Singers "DBSK Dispute is a structural problem."

The Korean League of Singers revealed, on the 5th, that this instance showed structural problems with both SM Entertainment and DBSK members.
The secretary-general of the league went on air on radio program, "Open World Today, Lee Suk Woo" and stated that "if this situation is not solved properly, similar situations will happen repeatedly. Contract periods, earning divisions, and other unfair contract conditions must be corrected."

Lim Sang Hyun lawyer, the official lawyer for the 3 members, revealed that each member received 200,000,000 Won for their work. On the contrary, SM responded that they paid the members 11 billion won.

On this, secretary general Kim stated, "if SM did,in fact, pay 11 billion won to the members, it is still necessary to consider if it was a rational payment, if the distribution was right, and if it is an acceptable amount of payment compared to the profits made by the company. SM and DBSK is just one case; the current earning distribution structure makes it possible for the ratio of earnings to be 100 to 0 for the artist. (100 company: 0 artist). Whether it is setting minimum or maximum earning distributions, there needs to be a separate regulation for the future." The three members asserted that their contract with SM is 13 years but in reality, is a contract for life, but SM refuted that the contract complies with the recommendations for a standard contract, which was presented by the Fair Trade Commission in July.

Secretary General Kim added, "if contract periods exceed 10 years, this period is applicable to their entire musical career. In April, it was judged that the contract period can be a clause to void contract because it severely restricts an artist's moral influence as well as economic freedom. Secretary General Kim added that if a group as popular as DBSK are in such situations, the reality for nameless celebrities and trainees must be investigated. Further, he stated that this situation will have influence on mainstream music industry for the first half of the year and this opportunity should be used to examine the way the music industry functions.

In order to avoid relapse of the situation, he stated as a solution, "first of all, the ideal contract released by Fair Trade Commissions must be upheld by the music industry. The league of singers is considering plans which includes a center to aid for accusing companies for harm done or even developing a specific subordinate contract which will be attached to the official contract.

I know this is probably better suited for Chun's thread but I just wanted to share here because some people only check the group thread. And so, here's something to lift the spirits.

YooChun's new tattoo

(Plus the boy is wearing his "Always keep the faith" necklace.)

- Avatar on Chun's rumoured cyworld.
(Even though there has yet to be confirmation that this is really Chun's cyworld, I think there's a high likelihood. Usually the fake ones are spotted quickly, Cassiopeia shoot them down within days. But this one has, supposedly, been visited by Cassies whom have left messages.)

Btw, the sentences in the brackets are my own thoughts.

Rumour: JaeJoong has the same tattoo. (credit: paloma_jaejoong@soompi + sharingyoochun)

As I saw it...pics from today's fireworks event seemingly show a mark on Jae's chest in the same place as Chun's. And who would be surprised that Soulmate got, once again, matching tattoos. Plus their love for TVXQ has always been awesome.

I am touched that, even though the boys can't say anything to us about the issue, they are trying to hint through subtle messages! ♥
