The idol trio JYJ, recently launched their official Japanese website for their fans in the country.
With intense responses, the website went down due to extreme traffic that was bombarding the site since it has opened.
It is well documented that JYJ is blacklisted from all major music shows and events and to still receive such loyal support is an impressive feat.
In a recent report, it tells that JYJ not only received banishment from media outlets but from product manufacturers as well.
In a recent tweet by hans_shop, it told a story by a former factory employee.
There’s a sad news. I thought I’ll be able to talk about it freely here.. Among my friends, there’s someone who produced idol’s official goods, and when asked why don’t they make JYJ’s goods and why JYJ’s goods are limited, it turns out that among Korean’s goods maker, JYJ is banned.. Once (a company) worked with JYJ, they won’t be offered contracts from other major companies. It’s shocking that it’s not only SM, even other major companies also do the same. So none of the manufacturer could do anything, thus JYJ’s goods become rare items since the manufacturing is difficult due to the vicious cycle (of banning companies), that’s why the other day’s collection card was sold at a high price.. Under this type of bullying (?) in the entertainment world is the worst environment, yet they didn’t lose their popularity and still walked on their own path, I really respect them for that.

Date: 2012-04-12 03:06 pm (UTC)But it was not affecting their industry so much..since SME doesn't have that big a influence in modeling or acting. Which is why the boys can be in drama and still get CF's and such.

Date: 2012-04-12 03:28 pm (UTC)That is all this is about. Scare tactics. Business. Kpop only works because the Idols know their place, and just do what their companies tell them. That is now the money is made. You have to make sure they are constantly reminded and punish those that get out of line.

Date: 2012-04-12 02:53 pm (UTC)Only JYJ that can pull a last minute concert announcement place in Japan because they don't want to risk it being cancelled again, and the tickets still sold out.
Meanwhile, I can't wait for new JYJ album. They had new and sophisticated studio and this time they hired a producer to do it.

Date: 2012-04-13 01:17 am (UTC)Even though JYJ were granted 'freedom' to do activities outside of SM, they are still technically under contract with SM. Originally it was a good thing, because it was the court's way of making a compromise... don't split up the group, but give these three guys freedom to do other stuff. Peachy.
But SM wasn't cool with that, so they stopped all TVXQ activities as 5. While there is this one contractual tether between JYJ and SM, that is their only connection. They get zero benefits from the company. They might as well not be in the company at all. SM has used the contract to their advantage, doing everything they can to stop JYJ from working both inside and outside the company for as long as possible.
Until a final court decision is made to void or not void JYJ's contracts with SM... this kind of thing will continue. It's likely that SM's goal is for this to last until JYJ has to start their military service. I don't know. It's all ridiculous.
