[Trans] 3 Members Throw SM Aside And Join Hands With Kwon Sang Woo’s Former Manager With A ‘Criminal Record’

T/N: PLEASE READ THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. And when I mean grain, I mean a huge chunk of it. I was given a request to translate this article and I usually don’t say no to requests unless it is for good reasons.
Remember: Don’t shoot the messenger.

It has been revealed that there is a person with an interesting relationship with TVXQ’s YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu. On Xiah Junsu’s solo album, which was recently released in Japan, the label CjeS Entertainment was printed on the cover jacket. CjeS is a company that was set up last December in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The CEO of this company is A, who is deeply rooted in the entertainment industry.

A is known for being actor Kwon Sang Woo’s former manager. He is also known for receiving a prison sentence for forcing Kwon Sang Woo to write a memorandum binding him to his exclusive contract by threatening to reveal the actors personal life to the public and boasting about the gang who had his back. He has many connections with broadcasting companies, celebrities and some of Korea’s leading conglomerates.

SM is also aware of A’s presence. One representative of SM stated, “We heard that A has something to do with the three members’ activities.”

Last July, the three submitted a exclusive contract suspension injunction against SM Entertainment saying that, “We wish to escape the shackles of this unfair contract.” The Courts sided with the three members. SM was ordered not to interfere with the three members’ individual activities. However, the Courts decided not to suspend the contract until the lawsuit was completely over. The three members and SM are currently involved in the lawsuit dealing with their exclusive contract.

The problem lies in whether or not the three members have signed a contract with A. If CjeS is merely helping the three with their activities, there is no problem. However, if a contract has been signed, the situation changes drastically. There may be a chance that the three may be swept up in a double-contract crisis that would not be in their favor. SM is currently focusing the lawsuit on the continued existence of the exclusive contract.

It is interesting that the three members, who criticized SM for the company’s unlawful contract, have joined hands with a man who has been persecuted for forcing a contract upon someone. Their stance may be weakened because of such actions.

Currently, TVXQ has halted all activities in both Korea and Japan. The group’s Japanese agency AVEX announced this pause in activities last month.

Many are saying that although TVXQ themselves or their representatives do not use the word ‘disbandment’, this indefinite pause in their activities can be perceived as a disbandment in reality. This is because AVEX announced its support for the three members’ unit group activities soon after. Currently, YoungWoong Jaejoong’s popularity is soaring in Japan. Xiah Junsu’s solo album is being appraised as one that is greatly marketable. It seems that AVEX is fully supportive of the three members’ unit group. There has been no news of the company supporting solo activities of U-Know Yunho or Choikang Changmin.

Trans] 100507 TVXQ 3 Members Vs SM Hearing ‘On Parallel Sides’

TVXQ 3 Members “The unfairness of the contract is grave” vs SM “The way we treat TVXQ is not bad compared to other agencies”

Three members of TVXQ (Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun) and SM Entertainment had their first hearing today regarding an objection to the verdict on a contract suspension injunction that was made last year, and were unsuccessful in closing the gap between their conflicting stances.

The legal representatives of the three members of TVXQ and SM met at the Seoul District Courts at 5 p.m. on the 7th to state their stances on the lawsuit made by SM Entertainment regarding an objection to the contract suspension injunction verdict.

This hearing was held after SM filed for the lawsuit on April 12th as an objection to the partial acceptance verdict made by the Courts last year.

At the hearing, SM’s representative stated, “Compared to other agencies in Korea, TVXQ’s income division is not unfair,” and emphasized that TVXQ’s income division was not a pressing issue in the exclusive contract.

The representative also strongly questioned the three members’ action of signing a separate contract with their Japanese agency AVEX although only the contract suspension injunction, not the actual lawsuit, had been partially accepted by the Courts.

On the other hand, the three members’ representative stated, “The length and the income division section of the exclusive contract between SM and TVXQ is so unfair that the situation is very grave.”

The judge in charge of the hearing (Judge Choi Sung Joon) questioned both sides of the possibility of a settlement, but no groundbreaking outcome came of it.

The Courts asked both sides whether a settlement could be made if the contract was fixed but received different answers.

When the Courts asked both sides if a settlement would be possible if the Courts shortened the length of the exclusive contract and if the income division was made more equal SM’s representative said “Yes, a settlement would be possible,” but the three members’ side gave a skeptical answer and said, “The three members have lost their faith in SM and they think negatively of the prospect of working with the agency again.”

However, the three members’ side stated near the end of the hearing that, “If SM’s desires for a settlement are sincere, then I will talk to the three members and will report back to the Courts.”

On the other hand, Kim Young Min and Nam So Young attended the hearing as SM and SM Japan’s representatives respectively but none of the members of TVXQ attended. The Courts will examine all files submitted by both sides till the end of this month and reach a verdict regarding SM’s objection to the contract suspension injunction verdict.

As for the Korean Media, after news about the new unit broke, a representative of SM Entertainment said that as the exclusive contracts are still valid, to have such irresponsible and rash behavior without considering the lawsuit is “regrettable”.

The 3 members in the new unit had disputed their unfair contract in July last year, suing the company that they have been with since their debut, SM Entertainment. In October of the same year, the court ruled for the injunction of contract terms*, effectively halting their exclusive contract.

Meanwhile, on the 14th of this month, SM Entertainment filed a lawsuit against the 3 members to seek compensation on damages, further complicating matters.

As for the 2 members (Changmin and Yunho) not involved in the lawsuit, and are still under the SM Entertainment, it is not clear whether they will be continuing activities in Japan under the Avex Management.

Also, the fans in Korea have expressed, “We wanted to see the 5 members working together, but they have still split in the end” and “[we] hope that they will still do their activities in Japan with enthusiasm”
