[News] Shinhwa Andy, “With DBSK/THSK/ TVXQ, want to stand on one stage"


Popular group Shinhwa member, Andy showed both his sympathy and affection towards his junior group TVXQ.

Andy who already released two independent solo albums recently has an interview with Asia Economic Daily. “I know what DBSK members have been experiencing these days must give them a little bit pain. As their friends only be able to see, it’s a shame. I wish the case will be ended through an amicable settlement which won’t hurt any parties.” he said.

About TVXQ members who have been involved in legal battle with SM Entertainment, “I’m not in the position who can say right or wrong or judge someone to be good or bad. It’s difficult to give opinion about what’s happening.” however, “What every singers need to do is to stand on the stage. I hope they won’t lose their will and determination. I hope they would think about their fans more than anything.” he revealed his own thought.

Then on, Andy recalled, “Back then, when we (Shinhwa) all gathered and saw TVXQ, ‘Those fellows are so cool. It’s frightening.’ We never have the same thought like this before. We all acknowledge TVXQ’s powerful song performance is really scary. That’s why, to see them coming in this kind of situation, I’m shocked and sad because I could not even imagine it,”

Each member of Shinhwa has their own solo activities, but so far there’s no conflict arises as Andy said, “We’re trying hard to stick to each other rather than being greed off! You must respect even small things, so that you won’t lose the big one.”

Andy closed the interview by saying, “When later on Shinhwa could regroup again, we want to stand together with TVXQ on one stage. We don’t mind if people compares us, because we’re now stronger than we were before and we’re ready to get our victory, it’s not an impossible job to do. It’s not a shame to think a possibility of performing in showing a beautiful stage. Therefore, I really want to see TVXQ coming back again.”

[DKP News] Secret voice in GETTING TIRED OF WAITING




It's been a while since Jaebeom's case which has made him retired from 2PM. And one time JYP had visited him in where he stays now, Seattle. Is it the reason why JYP visited Jaebeom once? We don't know.
After waiting impatiently, today 2PM has revealed their 1st Album's song titled GETTING TIRED OF WAITING. 2PM boys have different typical of voice. And surprisingly, though former leader Park Jaebeom is not included in 2PM activities again, a very familiar voice is appearing there. And it's Jaebeom's voice. You can listen it in every chorus they sing.

**Listen their song HERE, and get the lyrics HERE

That means that JYP still wants Jaebeom to be included in 2PM though he cannot appear anymore together with 2PM.

Is it a relief for the Hottest?

In my opinion, I'm very happy he can take part in 2PM's album though he does not appear there.

I really hope this album can be as successful as their 1st Mini Album even they can reach more with this album. And I'm sure Jaebeom will also be happy knowing 2PM successes.

Now it's the time for the Hottest waiting their comeback!

[News] DBSK/THSK/TVXQ Fanclub Says, "Stop actions trying to divide . * Updated*

TVXQ's fanclub Cassiopeia has expressed their official stand on SM Entertainment's press conference.

On the 2nd of November, they have stated their official standpoint through a fansite.

Cassiopeia expressed, "Everything, excluding the words directly from TVXQ, we do not believe, and we would like SM to stop trying to divide the fans by causing confusion/chaos." and "We are very disappointed, and saddened with SM by saying those statements were by Yunho and Changmin, and also with the press conference. The reason for this lawsuit is because of the 13-year slave contract, not because of the cosmetic business. With the court’s decision released on the 27th, SM is to not interfere with the three members’ own/individual activities, and would immediately like for SM to stop with their actions on trying to divide the TVXQ members."

At the same time, with the release of Yunho’s and Changmin’s statements, suspicions were roused among the fans. Many questions were raised, like the position of the signature and name, and the doubt that it may not be handwritten. Conflict between SM and the fans will seem to continue from this point on.

--------------------

We 800,000 Cassiopeians would like to announce our official view in this statement. With accusations and allegations flying everywhere, we announce this in order to show the fanclub's official standing on this matter. This statement is made by union of numerous DBSK fan cafes and we present this in the name of Cassiopeia.

First of all, we would like to say that, as fans of DBSK, we support DBSK and will not do anything to betray their trust in us. We will not trust anything besides words that come out of the DBSK members' mouths, and we ask SME to stop actions that are intended to confuse and divide the fans.

We Cassiopeians are very disappointed in SME for holding press conference and releasing signed documents in the name of Yunho and Changmin. As the management company of DBSK, SME must not forget their job and must stop their actions intended to defame the members of DBSK and break the group apart. Also, according the the court ruling made on the 27th, SME must not make deals with third parties in the name of the three members and cannot interfere with individual works or those members. Please keep the court's order.

To everyone who is reading this statement, please remember: the members did not take legal actions because of the issues regarding the cosmetics business. They started this lawsuit because of illegal contract length of 13 years. We fans do not understand why SME is silent about the issue of the contract length and is trying to focus everyone's attention on the cosmetics fiasco. The goal of this lawsuit was to nullify or edit contract between SME and the three members, and we believe that they did not intend to end DBSK or move onto another management company. Also, we would like to address to reporters who sensationalize and create rumours related to this press conference. Please be careful with your sources.

We would like to ask SME one more time to not make the three members' reputation and rights suffer with claims that have never been proven, and we would like to ask the citizens of Korea to stop creating rumours and defame DBSK. We would like to show our condolences toward this controversy.

As Cassiopeians, the fans of DBSK, we will keep our attention focused to the future actions of DBSK and SME. We will continue to side with DBSK. DBSK and fans never doubt.

-- November 2nd, 2009, Cassiopeia, the fanclub of DBSK

This is one of SM tricks to divide and break the fans.That is why, just believe in 5 of them.So now got it :)? SM is known for this kind of stuff.Always Keep The Faith !!!!! Also please be careful of the sources that you read the news from.

[Info] DBSK/THSK/TVXQ Copy of Judgment on Petition for Preliminary Injunction to Void *Updated with summary*











Please click to enlarge for reading.

This copy is kinda long,but it is also the courts judgement and reasons.This will be knowledge to everyone and you can read the reasons given by the court as why they side the 3 members.

Summary of the Judgment of JaeChunSu's Petition for Preliminary Injunction to Void Exclusive Contract


What JaeChunSu wants - their exclusive contract declared as null and void [i.e. ineffective]

Current stage of proceedings – Preliminary Stage, still needs to wait for actual trial

What was granted – temporary suspension of the exclusive contract + JaeChunSu can engage in independent activities + SM cannot compel JaeChunSu to participate in entertainment related activities (otherwise it has to pay $10,000,000 KRW per violation)

Why - “basic relationship of trust that is the foundation ...has already crumbled” (3B) and if the actual trial was prolonged, JaeChunSu would basically be receiving little or no income if they were not allowed to pursue independent activities

Why the rest of was not allowed – because possiblitiy that TVXQ may continue as a group + ratio of distribution of revenue are difficult to calculate (3C)

On the issue of 1,000,000,000 KRW – the reason why the Court needs JaeChunSu to pay a deposit (or a bond insurance) is because in the case where SM wins, the court has to ensure that they have enough money to compensate SM (it is a common practice to request the party with a weaker financial position to provide security)

VERY VERY Important points raised by the Court in its reasoning –

 On negotiating powers when accepting the contract – ONE SIDED
o 2B1 – The Court rejected SM’s claim that JaeChunSu has equal or superior negotiating powers in accepting the contract.
o 2B5 – “an extremely one-sided contract”

 On the 13 years contract period – EXCESSIVE
o 2B2 – the earliest date the contract ends is 13th January, 2017 excluding the conscription period. On the length of the contract, the court commented it is the longest amongst all provided examples (apart from Boa and Yoo Young Jin’s 15 years)

 On the amount of damages JaeChunSu has to pay if they terminate the contract – SLAVE CONTRACT
o 2B3 – court hints that it is unfair as SM can terminate the contract without itself paying damages
o 2B4 – court concludes that the provisions on damages goes more than the original intention (of compensating the injured party i.e SM)
and instead “absolutely blocks the Petitioners [Jaechunsu] from exiting the Contract for the sole purpose of maximizing the profits of the Respondent [SM].”
“ By doing so the provisions act as a device to enslave the Petitioners to the Respondent for the abovementioned contractual period of 13 or more years and the court finds it difficult to sanction such them as they are” [seems like the court cannot help but agrees with the lay term ‘slave contract]
o 2B5 – court believes that such contracts does nothing but to solidify the monopoly of large entertainment companies in Korea

 Conclusion –
o The contract is “contrary to the public morals and social policy, or otherwise void because it exceeds what is rational for the length of a contractual term
o Unless SM modifies almost all of the important parts of the contract, including the contractual period and clause on damages in case of termination, this contract is likely to be void because it imposes on JaeChunsu an “unjust burden”

 Afternote –
o After the entering of the original contract (you can find the dates under 1C as listed in the table), there were 5 subsequent supplementary agreements. The last agreement is dated 6th February, 2009. [note from writer – this is the point of time where JaeChunSu claims they have not been receiving income therafter. It is unknown what amendment have been made which brought forward such claim]

[News]SM boycotts MAMA / MNet responds to MAMA boycott


We bring you yet more unfortunate news: artistes of SM Entertainment will not be taking part in the 2009 MAMA.

SME announced on November 3rd that their artistes including Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee and f(x) will not be attending MAMA. The reason given was that MAMA will be using a process similar to how MNET's music program M! Countdown selects its winners, and SME does not trust the method nor believe that it is fair.

SME does not trust in Mcountdown because of what happened with SNSD's massive hit Gee. While the song topped charts of other television networks for 9 weeks in a row, it failed to reach number one in Mcountdown even once. It only made top 10 one whole month after the song's release date. SME thinks that because of this, Mnet's method of deciding on winners cannot be trusted.

Also, there is a MAMA-related popularity poll happening on Mnet's website at the moment. The catch is that you must be registered as a paid member of the website in order to cast a vote. SME believes that they do not want fans of SME's artists to be spending too much money just to cast votes for their favourite artists and hence asked Mnet to withdraw SME's artists from candidates.

We have previously reported that couple trot singers are boycotting MAMA. Will Mnet be able to pull this event off successfully without participation by some of the biggest names in the industry? Stay tuned to allkpop as MAMA draws near.

------------
MNet responds to MAMA boycott

In a phone interview with Money Today, a representative of Mnet said the following:

Inwoo and SME mentioned that fairness in selection of candidates was questionable, but that is not true. All candidates were selected fairly through music chart and data collected on Mnet.com.

If we were to try and exclude artists of certain company, we wouldn't have put artists of those companies on our candidate list to begin with. Also, we would be risking our reputation and fairness if we were to change things just because major entertainment companies disagree with our system. If companies keep complaining about year end ceremonies, then such event cannot exist. The point of this ceremony is celebration by all artists who shined this year with their hard work, so I wish that artists would forget about receiving award or not and just put on an amazing show.



Regarding the fee to vote, the representative explained, "This was done to prevent fans from casting multiple votes on specific artists. It was not done for profit. We are planning on donating profit earned from the voting process back to the music industry."

Credits:Allkpop

Mnet is known to have a very unfair system of counting votes.Although i am not siding SM,anyway since when SM cares about fans spending too much $? Just cause it is not spend on SM products and they get jealous o.o?

Mnet doesnt want to break down their boycotts on SM artist too,they are the one who looses ratings not SM artist.
