The three members of group TVXQ who have unfair contract dispute with their agency SM Entertainment presented at the court secretly on last October 13th, however had failed to reach agreement with SM. Previously on October 12th, the two side had submitted a final official stand documents that have been required since early this month for review to make final decision.
At the end of July this year, 3 TVXQ members (Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu) filed their disposition application to Seoul Central District Court to terminate the exclusive contract effect against SM Entertainment. Reportedly on July 30th at 4 pm, wearing sunglasses, the members entered hurriedly to the side entrance of the court building. They secretly received report about the trial request date and other information regarding the case was not disclosed. There was no appearance of the fans, and even most of court staffs couldn’t recognize the three members who disguised themselves just like ordinary civilians and they could move without any fuss.
On August 22nd the legal representative of the 3 members forwarded members’ thought to the court, “We found it very difficult to improve and reach our goals in this industry if we live under SM’s management with all its terms and conditions.”. It’s also reported that, “The arguments happened with SM Lee Soo Man regarding this dispute already reached our highest limit of emotion.” Meanwhile the other two members who don’t participate in the legal case and still have listed activities with SM said, “It’s not possible to breakdown a group of 5 people who actually still want to work together.” showing their intention to keep shinning together as a group.
After the failure of yesterday’s mediation between two sides, court won’t summon the 3 members any further and will make its final decision soon.

Yoochun, Jaejoong, Junsu attended the court for an agreement
DongBangShinKi attended the court for an agreement but failed.
TVXQ’s Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu submit today in court, despite the court’s mediation efforts to reach a consensus.
In the past three months, DBSK members and SM Ent attended at the Seoul Central District Court to coordinate the process of the case. The court agreed that both sides should come up with an amicable decision but because of the differences between each other, the agreement did not end the conflict.
For TVXQ “They have the deep feeling that their goal which is changing their work conditions seems to be difficult to reach”.
The court is planning to make a difficult decision for both sides later in the month.
Meanwhile last July 31st, the 3 members of Dong Bang Shin Ki 3 filled an exclusive contract validity suspension and provisional disposition request.

:( :( :( I honestly think JaeChunSu are professionally done with SME. It could be all the 5 of them that are just fucking fed up, but the 3 of them... I think it's obvious. Aigooo.

Date: 2009-10-14 08:00 am (UTC)The biggest loser is, and has always been, SME. They are truly fools if they let this amazing group slip away from them (and if they are still trying to be obnoxious hardass slave-drivers through all of this then they deserve to lose them).

Date: 2009-10-14 04:24 pm (UTC)They've been so strong about emphasizing that they'll stay together no matter what it takes. If the outcome means JaeChunSu are out of SME and there's conflict about the 5 staying together because HoMin are still under SME then I don't know but maybe HoMin will take JaeChunSu's lead and file too.
which will probably mean another agonizing trial, but maybe it'll be faster since the court would have already been through JaeChunSu's caseno subject

Date: 2009-10-14 08:21 am (UTC)the more i read about this issue the more i realize i know less of their situation. some fans are saying LSM isn't likely to be involved in the contracts, esp since the dbsk/sj boys have been saying great things about him, but with that article... IDEK anymore. i'm so confused.
no subject
Date: 2009-10-14 08:02 am (UTC)i never thought the outcome would be one thats pleasing to fans, especially when the issue escalated to court.
i guess i just hope jaechunsu come out of this satisfied. otherwise it'll have really been for nothing.

Date: 2009-10-14 08:06 am (UTC)i believe this so hard, even if i know that it's emotions speaking and while the hearts and minds are willing, external forces will make it impossible. i really want to know the technicality of how the five of them are ever going to pull off performing together as a group if the worst happens and jaechunsu leave.
