KBS: “No Internal Policy on Restricting JYJ”, “The Writing was from February”

[death-folder.livejournal.com]

KBS Variety Department: “The Writing on JYJ was Our Position before February… There Are No Restrictions on Their Appearing.”

 

Department Head Jeon Jinguk says: “Whether JYJ appears or not is up to the production crew.”
Deleted the Writing on JYJ on the 18^th… Consumer Counseling Office says: “We are in the middle of confirming the process of deletion and the reasons.”

KBS Variety Department Head Jeon Jinguk said on the 19^th on the position of restricting JYJ’s appearance that “currently we do not have a policy of restricting JYJ’s appearances.” As for the position of the Variety Department that was posted on the KBS Consumer Counseling Office on the 17^th, he expressed his troubledness, saying “it’s from February…”

What Jeon is saying is that they had organized their position on the restricting of JYJ’s broadcast appearances and it seems that the contents of that had been posted after-the-fact in the Consumer Counseling Office on the 17^th.

However, the Variety Department put forth the position that [JYJ’s broadcast appearances] “may bring about legal problems and may even threaten the development and order of the culture industry,” pointing out such things as JYJ being in a legal proceeding with SM Entertainment and the dual contracting, to the question that was registered by Ms. A on February 25 that asked “why JYJ is unable to appear on Music Bank and why was JYJ excluded from the charts” and met with a tremendous after-storm.

This is because in mid-February the court had dismissed both the SM’s objection to JYJ’s partial grant of the injunctive relief to suspend the exclusive contract and the SM’s petition for injunctive relief to suspend the exclusive contract between C-JeS Entertainment and JYJ.

Also, JYJ could not appear in KBS variety programs even after March. Park Yoochun was planned to appear as a surprise guest on “Kim Seungwoo’s On a Roll” Kim Kapsu episode but became known to have fallen through and so again the “external pressure theory” raised its head.

Jeon said that “the casting and the appearance of JYJ is at the will of the production crew” and again emphasized that internally there are no regulations to restrict JYJ’s appearance in the Variety Department. He also said: “When JYJ puts out a new album, wouldn’t the talk of appearing be naturally exchanged between the Production Directors of the appropriate programs.”


KBS regarding group JYJ's appearance in 2TV 's "Music Bank"

KBS has revealed its official statement regarding group JYJ’s appearance in 2TV music program “Music Bank.”

Music Bank stated on the afternoon of the 19th, “because JYJ has not released new songs, they are not candidates for appearing in ‘Music Bank.’ On the topic of drama OSTs (T/N: Soundtracks), they are not candidates for appearances and [the singer] must officially release new songs to be considered as candidates.“

“Music Bank” replied, “before the decision was made on the lawsuit on February 17th, we excluded JYJ from appearing because it could have affected the lawsuit. Afterward, they weren’t candidates because they hadn’t released new songs, not because we specially regulated their appearance.”

Furthermore, they revealed “later if [JYJ] releases new songs and it’s a target for K-Chart, they may become candidates for appearing [in Music Bank].“

JYJ, to KBS: “Thank You for Promising that We’ll Appear on Music Bank Upon Album Release”

B R A V O !

[vanhangels.livejournal.com]

Nah. won't happen because they'll retract their statement and say that in their quote, they merely said:
"later if [JYJ] releases new songs and it’s a target for K-Chart, they may become candidates for appearing [in Music Bank].
And that "may" part will play a big role and then they'll say that 'Oh that writing was in May....'

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

yeah I know. I'm just applauding the response :)

[puffy-wuffy.livejournal.com]

Its so true! There are bands that release albums who don't get to promote on Music Bank. And bands that make it sometimes will have to cut out half of a song or change performances drastically from what they would do in concert. CJes, JYJ and JYJ fans just have to keep all kinds of PDs and other people interested in JYJ and putting JYJ on air.

Often if one network puts a performer on, the other networks will scramble to do the same for their shows and so forth. KBS IS NOT THE ONLY NETWORK CJES SHOULD POKE.

except they're just responding to the statement KBS posted.

[puffy-wuffy.livejournal.com]

True dat.

You're so fast! Love your icon, btw.

[captainmarvel.livejournal.com]

I loved CJes' response :D

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

lmao at the may because they will probably chicken out when JYJ release their new songs :\

Though tbh, this would be the only way that KBS could save their image in light of this ridiculousness...

What I wouldn't give for Get Out to be promoted though ;;

MTE, MTE~~ Was thinking about how in the release of a new JYJ album, Get Out should be one of the title tracks ; ^ ;

[runandtelldat.livejournal.com]

Suuuuuuure

[mishi07.livejournal.com]

no one is buying this so why bother

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

i'm waiting for jyj's new releases :D /popcorn.gif

[suprockstar.livejournal.com]

good thing they have 4 new korean songs ready.

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

C-Jes just create a channel for JYJ already, if you can't promote them on TV you have to think of other ways, just look at how the interview with yoobin and daniel got them so much attention.

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

LOL, I would subscribe to this. They should do all those wonky named line ups, like Junsu's Power Hour, Chuntasm!, Jaedore Fashion. XDDD /lame

[am3thyst.livejournal.com]

OMG, I love your line up names!

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

Not sure about this, Jaejoong said himself it's hard for them to release songs officially for some reason I cannot remember off the top of my head (he mentioned it in a recent interview). Can someone explain to me how Their Rooms didn't count? I distinctly remember, oh I don't know, a lot of producers/companies refusing to let JYJ on any TV appearances before that came out because of more reasons I cannot remember though I don't really care about since it was a load of bull anyway.

I try to care and keep up, but I know someone, not sure who is going to get their comeuppances. Chilling with my JYJ concert ticket till then KBS.

[mirotic-mor.livejournal.com]

Supposely, cuz Their Rooms is an essay/tc that comes with a CD that oh o amazingly has 6 new songs :/ Like they're treating it like a free gift or something LOL

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

.....I think all CDs that comes with any book should be disqualified then, because we actually buy them more for the photos/add ons than the actual CD sometimes. I am at the point where I am considering buying the Beginning Making of DVD, but it comes with CDs with both of their albums. Which I have. :/

Oh, Kpop, the choices you force me to make.

[fayoochun.livejournal.com]

I dont want to expect much and I dont even trust those tv stations. But I hope JYJ will get the chance to perform because they're Koreans and its painful to see that they're getting blocked by their own country. Fighting JYJ!

[jelly16.livejournal.com]

Just let them appear in a Music Program and let them perform.
I've waiting too long ;-;
Not that I won't wait any more, but come on they need to grow up.

[orenji13.livejournal.com]

KBS entertainment department has shoot themselves on the foot with this statement.

How can a server broke down for 4 months for such a big station like yours?? I can see your lie from here

[pammiej85.livejournal.com]

They shouldn't have said anything.

It would be better than this.
