I guess SM has to now start paying their artists going to shows. And I wonder if they can continue with their Hollywood style bookkeeping (hopefully not).
Promising changes - especially the whole 'paying within 45 days' thing and having records subject to public scrutiny via online, though maybe there's a potential for overzealous fans to keep demanding their idols make more money etc.
I still wish it didn't take DBSK splitting up for these reviews to happen though =__=
This contributed to the already happy week, due to Junsu winning ALL THE THINGS!
Finally, the issues that JYJ and many others, took a stand for are getting the attention they deserve. It's still rather depressing since the changes listed seem like such incredibly basic rights, but at least it's something. At least they got the ball rolling.
I truly think that if K-pop wants to make a legitimate splash in the world, they first need to respect the basic professional and personal rights of their artists and performers at home.
At least we know JYJ didn't fight for nothing. Regardless of the verdict from their case at least their struggle has helped make a change in the industry they are working in.
Good change. Better late than never. Now, if there's more rule for agencies to stop cock-blocking their former artists/the artists that used to work for them...
Um, these new rules shouldn't just involve the entertainment agencies. It should also involve all media outlets and production companies. Entertainment agencies may be obliged to pay within 45 days, but what if the production company doesn't pay up on time? Didn't yoo jaesuk have a problem getting paid on time? There usually is a system to how entertainers get paid.
And the new ruling is only about transparency. It says nothing about division of profits. If your an artist that sold 500,000 albums, but you only supposed to get 10% of that based on your his/her contract, you're still not going to earn much. But of course, transparency is a must for all businesses.
Entertainers pretty much sign contracts that state that they are turning over any decisions to appear in tv shows (or anywhere for that matter) to their management companies. If they don't do so, most entertainers won't end up in the shows that they appear in.
