SES Eugene: “SM – TVXQ Contract is a Shame.”

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

SES Eugene expressed sadness regarding contract conflicts between Dong Bang Shin Ki and SM Entertainment.

In the recent SPN interview with Eugene, she said “Not only Dong Bang Shin Ki, there are many entertainers are undergoing a contract relation difficulties. It’s more like the artist who is engaged to the contract is not familiar with the contract itself.”

“Being compared to the past, I don’t know if improvement has already been made. The past period contract was relatively too long and not flexible.”

Eugene explained the reason why after a rookie gained popularity, he/she tends to involve in conflict with the agency, “When being a rookie, you don’t know anything. The officers asked to hold the contract term and conditions without any understandings from the artist. However, when the artist has already been aware, he/she finally read carefully the agreement details in the contract, that’s when most likely conflict starts to arise.”

“It’s also because the contract difficulty which rookie are having difficulties to follow. Agency should consider to set more flexible terms and conditions that has variables to adapt depending on the changing environments.”

Do celebs even read the contracts before signing them and selling their souls? 'Cause all the recent news indicate they surely do not. And no, I'm not defending SM the Enslaver.

those contracts are tricky - I think the problem isn't that they aren't looking them over, but that they don't understand them entirely. if what DBSK says is true, and they aren't allowed a legal authority with them to look over the contracts, then SM could screw them over with tricky wording.

Oh shit. Now that sucks.

Yeah, don't hold my word for this cause I haven't read into TOO much detail about this, but from what I read, basically after all the training, the people are offered a contract at such a young age that they aren't aware of what they're getting into. Maybe it's a maturity thing or just jumping the gun on the contract stuff cause like some things sound fun when you're like 12 or 14 years old, but when you're finally in your 20s, you realize that it's not as fun as you think.

Feel free to correct me anyone on this situation. =X

I'd say, you reap what you sow.. But for a company to take advantage of kids and their ignorance like that, that's just extremely shameful.

I hope SM gets its ass kicked oh so bad.

There was another post where Eugene was talking about the DBSK-SM conflict, but I think this one says something a little different. Or something like that.

I haven't been paying much attention to the lawsuit but hopefully this will discourage other young hopefuls from just signing a contract without thinking of the future ramifications. Hopefully SM learns too; The case is so incredibly publicized that either way, SM will have to change how they draw up their contracts or they'll never sign another talent again.
