Suspension of JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN's Activities in Japan

We would like to inform you that the Japanese activities of JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN, exclusive artists of Avex Entertainment Inc. (100% subsidiary of our company, head office in Minato district, Tokyo), will be suspended for the time being.

(Notice)

This is with regards to the reports that the representative of JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN's current Korean management agency, CJeS Entertainment Co., Ltd. Inc., whose father holds a high position in the mafia. The said representative has used his father's strength to blackmail artists and has served a term in prison, under charges of duress. We have therefore conducted a research for the facts.

According to the results, the relations with the mafia are unclear. However, all the other reports as written above have been proven to be true.

In addition to that, the procedure of the exclusive contract title for JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN is now under dispute in Korea. There is a high possibility that the exclusive contract itself between our company and the three will become void.

Our company places great importance in compliance and business policy in observing corporate ethics. We have decided to pause the management of their activities until these problems have been solved.

We highly regret that we have caused the fans that are supporting JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN great worry concerning the reports mentioned. Moreover, we appreciate your kind understanding to our company's decision as above.

Concerning the product releases and the services currently being provided, there will be no changes made. Additionally, there is no change to the exclusive contract of Tohoshinki (5 members), whose managed by SM Entertainment.

As we have consistently stated, we will, with all our might, give our support, so that Tohoshinki’s activities can be resumed.

I do find it ironic that something like this is happening rn since it should have been around this time last year (or shortly thereafter) that the whole lawsuit thing broke out in the first place (as well the issue w/ Jay, Kangin, swine flu, etc)

WHAT IS GOING ON OMG.

If you are wondering what they are talking about CJeS:

Kwon's manager has been sentenced to eight months in jail for blackmailing his client, court officials said.

The manager of South Korean movie star Kwon Sang-woo was sentenced to eight months in jail Wednesday for blackmailing his client, court officials said.

The defendant, a former gangster identified by his family name Paek, was found guilty of threatening Kwon with disclosures about his private life in an attempt to secure a lucrative business contract, they said.

Kwon, 30, who is gaining popularity in Japan and other Asian countries during the Korean pop culture boom, had also faced another case of intimidation.

In February prosecutors indicted Kim Tae-chon, a gang leader already serving a prison term for bribery, for trying to force Kwon to attend a fans' meeting in Japan organized by Kim's friend.

Kwon has starred in many films and television dramas, including "Stairway to Heaven."
