Law suit may lead to TVXQ split

[unreal.livejournal.com]

The possibility of Korea's top idol group TVXQ disbanding is increasing, after their agency sent an apparent ultimatum to three of the five-member boy band to return to the agency.


Speaking at a press conference on Monday, SM Entertainment chief Kim Young-min accused the three members -- Xiah, Hero, and Micky -- of having sued against the company out of greed to make more money.

Kim was speaking about the ongoing legal battle between the three members and the company. The three band members claim the contract signed between TVXQ and the management agency is unfair.

Last month, a lower court sided with the three and ruled that parts of the contract should be invalidated, paving the way for them to resume individual music and advertisement careers.

The agency vowed to bring the case to a higher court, saying the three must follow the contract as long as they continue to be part of TVXQ, and should get paid according to the current contract.

The other two members -- U-know and Max -- rendered their support for the management agency's claim, expressing hope that the other three would return quickly.

In their statement, the two stressed that all members have worked under the same contract with SM Entertainment for the past five years.

"We believe that TVXQ would not have been in existence without SM Entertainment, which created the group. We are also not willing to resume our career as TVXQ without our current agency," the statement said.

In a related movement, SM Entertainment chief Kim made it clear that although the court granted freedom to the three members to pursue individual activities, they are allowed to work as TVXQ only under SM.

The company demanded that the three members reply to its request to return to the agency by Nov. 12.

But it is widely viewed that the three are unlikely to continue to work with the management agency due to deep distrust between the two sides.

... no way..
There's always hope.
I only wish the best for them..

Besides this isn't really anything new from that day the statements came out~
Just a review/overview, I guess.
My thoughts haven't really changed and I'd rather wait than debate about all this.
They're still humans no matter what and either side can make/could've made mistakes.

Still... it's hard to believe that the five young, carefree and aspiring boys who have inspired me so much, for all that I do, is now in a sticky situation like this.
I wonder how they feel =[

[hospitalise.livejournal.com]

[miduhyo.livejournal.com]

[magic-jungle.livejournal.com]

IF and I say IF they were to split, its because of SM, not the boys.

But I truly believe that all this is BULL.

[pornoroughtype.livejournal.com]

I agree. |:

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

This really sucks.

We believe that TVXQ would not have been in existence without SM Entertainment
This is very true and while I love TVXQ I don't think they could have the amount of exposure Sm has given them with any other company.

deep distrust between the two sides
That is the saddest part of the whole article, sometimes I wonder if they really were as close as they seemed or if it was all just an act for the cameras.

[stage-persona.livejournal.com]

Agree with both things, that was the saddest part, and is what makes me so emotional about the last happenings

But I do believe they are close. How not to, while living together for so many years, and with all the things they have shared.
Paradise? no, I don't think so. But I believe they are close

if that statement by the two is really true then this is the end
um... not necessarily. honestly i feel like people get all worked up about these posts and go all keysmashy and D: when it would be best to keep calm and wait for proper news.

[shadow-kitty47.livejournal.com]

This

[zngnn.livejournal.com]

idek what to say.

[x-saru-x.livejournal.com]

Oh, great.

idek what to actually comment on this. Just wanna close my eyes and wait till the whole thing is over; reading about stuff and angsting for updates is disturbing.

cxyuklkmmpù eh?

[angelonair.livejournal.com]

I......what?

no. . . I, ...wha?

IDK.

[herochun.livejournal.com]

LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS
LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST THOUGH

[shiawaseni.livejournal.com]

why did i read your comment as

LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS
LETS HOPE FOR SOLO CAREERS

[vanilla-09.livejournal.com]

So, what about the other two who haven't sued?

[callmeliyah.livejournal.com]

They don't WANT to sue; They believe in SM and have taken SM's side in the matter. Or so the possibly forged statement says.

[rinn1e.livejournal.com]

Actually, I don't care anymore if tvxq split. Yes, there I said it. Just to get some calmness, go ahead and split. Same to the Jaebum's situation, damn it JYPE, just tell the fangirls whether he will be back or not and they'll make their decision and then we'll get calm, get it all over with.

Damn, 2010 where are you?!

[rinn1e.livejournal.com]

What I want most is for SM to decline. That's all I want and will be focusing on now. Who cares about what side to be on in tvxq, I'm on the side that want SME to decline. They're a source of fangirls madness.

[lenkaxchan.livejournal.com]

I really want to know what's going on in this case, but everytime after reading news my heart shatters.


for now I only wish that HoMin statment was fake... then there still would be some hope...

[shiawaseni.livejournal.com]

omgsh...idek.

hope everything works out with them :/

[holdmeifyouwant.livejournal.com]

Omg, what? I thought today I'd finally be able to study because nothing was supposed to happen in fandom >:(

[nautisch.livejournal.com]

this really isn't...new, it's just one person's analysis of what we already know. I just want to hear from jaechunsu.

[herochun.livejournal.com]

I agree with you

[biographe.livejournal.com]

Even if it's true that Homin agree with SM it is not the end. Disagreeing =/= disbanding. None of them have mentioned disbanding since this started.

[iiluminate.livejournal.com]

ily and thank you. not once has any of the members expressed wishes to disband.

[black-silver.livejournal.com]

maybe they'll just say "you know what, never mind let's start over" in 2010

[bunnysayboo.livejournal.com]

This this this.

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

The article is nothing new, except they labeled the news differently to heighten the dramatic effect as we wait >_>; Come on, it must be a slow news day or something...This is like watching Fox News...

If the Cassies aka the Mothership haven't exploded yet, I'm not minding.

[mearii87.livejournal.com]

LOL @ Fox News

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

Still waiting for the actual decision.
I refuse to get worked up over statements and articles anymore.

[rinn1e.livejournal.com]
