dbskTHSK to appear together for the first time in 3 months
Sunday November 22, 2009 Japan
DBSK/THSK is going to appear on Japanese television with all five members together. It will be their first public appearance together in almost 3 months, since they have not been seen together after their Osaka concert which happened on August 30th in Japan.
They will appear on Nihon TV's "Best Hit Music Award 2009" on coming 26th and Fuji TV's "FNS Music Award" on December 2nd. They are also planning on attending NHK's "Red White Kohaku" and "Japan Record Awards". Members will soon part for Japan in order to plan their schedules for these end of year ceremonies.
Although Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu are legally independent of SM Entertainment now (as in they don't have to listen to SME on DBSK related activities), they are still bound to AVEX, their Japanese management as Tohoshinki. As long as their contract with AVEX stands, they are to carry on with their Japanese schedules. Will they really appear as one THSK on these shows, and will there be any performances?

But the 3 have not given an answer by the deadline. And when asked if it will lead to disbanding of the group, the representative said, It has not been mentioned to us yet the steps which will follow from here.
It seems that this fight between the trio and the company will last longer than we have expected it to be.

TVXQ Hero hopes "Postman" will be assurance to fans
Tuesday November 10, 2009 Korea
An idol group singer. A joint production between Korea and Japan. Fantasy-romance. The combination of these three elements may make viewers feel unsure about film "Postman to Heaven" at first glance, but it would be too early to make any judgements just yet.
Director Lee Byung-hun, actress Han Hyo-joo and boy band TVXQ member Hero Jaejoong turned up at a press screening on Monday for "Postman", the second of the telecinema projects where a Korean director, Japanese screenwriter and Hallyu stars have gotten together to produce a total of eight films.
In "Postman", Hero plays Jae-joon, the postman from heaven, who delivers letters living people have written to their loved ones in heaven. He comes across Hana, played by Han, who writes a letter full of resentment to the dead man that she used to love, reveals his presence to her, and the two start writing responses to the letters for the saddened people who are left in the real world.
Needless to say, the co-stars of the film are top stars in their respective fields of the entertainment industry and screenwriter Eriko Kitagawa, nicknamed 'the god of love ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

TVXQ are planning to work by themselves
Monday November 9, 2009 Korea
The three members of TVXQ who have taken legal action against SM Entertainment are planning to work by themselves, according to their legal counsel.
When Sports Seoul asked the three members' legal counsel about SME demanding the three members to make a decision by the 12th, they were told:
"The three members are taking a break at the moment and are planning new projects. We do not plan on responding to SME's press conference. SME was ordered by the court to submit relevant evidences and they have been ignoring this order for almost 3 months now and they also have not been following any other court orders. Conversations with SME will start when they start respecting the court's decision. The court said that the three members may work on their own, so we do not need SME's permission on that. We are also seriously considering making criminal accusations against SME."
The three members are now planning their own projects separate from that of the five-member TVXQ and in no way related to SME. They also do not intend on responding to SME's demand for an answer by the ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Tohoshinki Fans Flock to Theaters to Hear New Song
Tuesday November 10, 2009 Japan
A new song from Tohoshinki has been garnering attention, and the record label and various music download websites have been swamped with requests for information. The song is titled '時ヲ止メテ / Toki o Tomete [lit. 'Stop (Freeze) Time']' and from August has been used in TV commercials for cosmetics brand Menard. It is a ballad that effectively shows off the five members' skills as vocalists. Fans have been able to listen to parts of the song's chorus by watching the TV commercials, but besides that there have been no announcements for it to become available in CD or be distributed online as a truetone. So fans only knew about ten seconds or so of the song.
But now word has gotten around that during the end credits of the film 'TOHOSHINKI THE LIVE 2009', a short 3 minute and 40 second version of the song could be heard. The film is currently being shown in 19 theaters nationwide. Since no official announcements had been made about '時ヲ止メテ / Toki o Tomete' being featured in the end credits, for fans who went to see the film it was a pleasant surprise. Now .....

SM-TVXQ Current Exclusive Contract Released
Tuesday November 10, 2009 Korea
We will reveal the exclusive contract SM Entertainment holds with its celebrities. Although this contract is the one between TVXQ and SM, it can be inferred that it is almost a basis contract for all the others. Also, as SM stated that the income division for TVXQ was the best they offered, one can surmise that the content of the contracts of other groups such as Girls' Generation, Super Junior etc. will be worse.
In the contract, it states that TVXQ must pay for all of the expenses required for their activities and this implies the wages for their managers and road managers. "TVXQ must pay for their travel fees and rent fees, as well as their meals, make up and coordinators' wages, dance crew and any other stage crew costs. They must also pay for the wages of their managers' monthly wages (The wages of the manager is 800,000 per month and the wages of road managers is 600,000 per month, and this increases by 10% every year.)"
