[NEWS] SM Entertainment officially investigated for unfair contract terms!
Korea’s Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) has announced that they are currently investigating all celebrities bound to SM Entertainment regarding unfair contract terms, suggesting that “a second TVXQ scandal” like event may occur.According to One Nation’s Jo Moon Hwan, it was revealed that KFTC is investigating cases of unfair contract terms in SME idols such as TVXQ (including Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong who are currently in legal disputes with their management company), SNSD, Super Junior, etc. for a total of 53 SME celebrities.
Jo Moon Hwan stated that the question and answer document received from KFTC specified investigations for all SME affiliated individuals for reasons related to a delay in taking care of TVXQ’s legal case. KFTC expressed,
“Through this event all celebrities in SME will undergo investigations to see if their contract terms go against the law of established fair contract terms, which is why TVXQ’s legal dispute is being delayed.”
Additionally, the commission said regarding TVXQ’s case, “All related documents will be carefully reviewed and considered for an appropriate outcome,” not revealing at what point the case would be over.
As you readers know, SM Entertainment has recently experienced many difficult trials as three members in TVXQ and Super Junior’s Hankyung underwent legal battles for problematic contract terms such as its 13 year length and unfair distribution of album sale profits.
Signing unfair contract terms with its employees is not only SME’s problem. Last December, KFTC requested 407 large agencies to address unfair contract conditions and undergo investigations. However, one month after this request was issued (until January) only 11 agencies reported their conditions and decided to take prompt corrective action measures, giving a huge shock to KFTC.
From April to May, YG Entertainment and Star Entertainment were also investigated along with 20 other companies. The results? 19 companies with 230 celebrities were found with contracts made up of various unfair conditions. These conditions were not about appearance limits but rather about the celebrity’s individual affairs such as telling agencies their current location and not being able to leave.
This investigation will concentrate on protecting weak celebrities who are powerless to request their affiliated large agencies for protection rights that they deserve.

[TRANS] 100303 Choikang Changmin·Joo Sang Wook's Power! Japanese Fans Rush To Jejudo
Choikang Changmin and Joo Sang Wook are attracting Japanese fans to Jejudo.
The two are currently in Jejudo filming for the drama 'Paradise Meadow' and this has caused Japanese fans to fly to the island to give their support to the two stars.
Choikang Changmin is a member of male idol group TVXQ. He is a A-list Hallyu star who has already appealed to many Japanese fans through TVXQ's Japanese albums.
Joo Sang Wook starred in KBS 2TV's 'That Fool' and MBC's 'Kimcheed Radish Cubes' and approached his Japanese fans through dramas; his charisma is capturing the hearts of women all over Japan. Last year, he solidified his popularity with a fan meeting in Japan and he is planning to create an official Japanese fanclub soon.
A representative of the drama said, "The two stars' Japanese fans have been visiting on location regularly. There are about ten people coming every day," and "It is not only international fans though. Many Korean travelers, who are visiting Jejudo, come on location to support the two."
Even when filming was being done in Australia last year with Choikang Changmin, Lee Yeon Hee and Joo Sang Wook, an Australian newspaper announced that Korean stars were coming to film in the country.

[TRANS] 100303 SME Vs Mnet, The Accumulated Age-Old Conflict Spills Over... Why?
The sixteen-month-long conflict between SM Entertainment, one of Korea's biggest entertainment agencies, and Mnet Media, K-pop's leading company, has finally revealed itself to the public.
On the 2nd, SM Entertainment, that has produced popular singers such as Girls Generation, f(x), SHINee, Super Junior, BoA, Kangta, TVXQ and Trax, announced on its official website that it would no longer be providing Mnet Media with the possession to music files by SM Entertainment.
Following this, netizens could no longer listen to Girls Generation's 'Oh!' on Mnet.com, a famous domestic music portal site run by Mnet Media.
SME revealed that while it was contemplating renewing their music provision contract with Mnet Media, the agency learned that Mnet Media had breached their contract and decided to withdraw the possession to SM's music files from the company.
SME stated, "We confirmed that Mnet.com and Mnet Media had been using SM content without authorization on their ASP sites." and "Although this was a breach in the contract, Mnet Media did not notify SME of such an act. Therefore, SME has decided to end Mnet Media's ability to use SM content."
On the 3rd, it was found that when SM agency singers' songs were clicked on in Mnet.com, you can no longer listen to the song with a notice popping up stating "This song is in the process of being discussed for a contract renewal" and "We will work hard to bring the service back as soon as possible."
SME and Mnet Media have had conflicts in the past as well. However, neither side publicly denied nor confirmed that there was a conflict between the two firms. However, the majority of K-pop and broadcasting representatives stated that there had been conflicts between SM and Mnet Media since sixteen months before this current situation.
Not a single SME agency singer has appeared on Mnet Media's K-pop program 'M! Countdown' since November of 2008. Considering the fact that only the singers with the most popular songs were to appear on such music programs, especially at the end of the year, this situation raises numerous questions. SME agency groups Girls Generation, Supper Junior and f(x) had many hit songs last year.
This is not all. SM Entertainment singers (excluding TVXQ's Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun) have not been appearing on other Mnet programs or awards shows either.
There are many who believe that the conflict started after the 'MKMF' awards in November of 2008 because of the results of the awards show.
Mnet Media's 'MAMA' last November, the follow up awards show of 'MKMF', is also said to have deepened the conflict between SME and Mnet Media.
This was because Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong, and Micky Yoochun, three members of TVXQ who have been locked in a dispute with SME over their contract since July last year, appeared on 'MAMA' and received the 'Asia's Best Star' award as TVXQ. It was obvious that the fact that these three had received an award on behalf of TVXQ and that Mnet Media had invited them to participate in the first place did not sit well with SM Entertainment.
At the time, SM Entertainment expressed its inability to understand Mnet's actions by saying, "If the company was trying to give an award to TVXQ, it should have contacted SME." and "We cannot accept the fact that they called only the three to come and receive an award meant for TVXQ."
To this, Mnet retaliated and said, "We invited all five members to come receive the award for TVXQ." and "We let the other two members choose whether to participate or not." The firm continued to say, "The three members were probably thinking about the dispute when they were deciding to come or not. But if we don't call the three people who came to receive the award TVXQ, then what are we supposed to call them?"
However, SME agency singers' songs were still available on Mnet after the show. Therefore, the three members' participation in the awards show took on the appearance of a short spat between the two firms. However, many representatives say that the conflict between the two firms kept deepening as time passed.
SME and Mnet has finally publicly shown their conflict through this current situation, starting with SME's official statement regarding the issue.
SM Entertainment and Mnet Media are two of the biggest firms in the business. Many are curious as to how this whole event will turn out.

[NEWS] 100303 Dae Guk Nam Ah Cites Yunho As Source of Inspiration
A few days after Dae Guk Nam Ah revealed a video teaser for maknae Jay, another individual member video has been launched, and this time it’s for Karam.
-omitted-
I began dancing because of Yunho [of TVXQ]. I saw Yunho sunbae on a television program breakdancing one time. I thought it was really cool that I wanted to do it too. I went in front of the veranda of my house and tried to copy his breakdancing, but my mom saw me and asked what I was doing in the middle of the night.
My parents supported me dancing when they realized how hard I worked. My dad especially made me a place where I can practice my dancing. I ate, slept and practically lived in that place.
It’s kind of funny that Karam mentions TVXQ as a source of inspiration, because many people have been linking these boys to TVXQ since D-NA is a male quintet that’s already dabbling in a cappella stuff. Of course, we have yet to see these boys’ talents so we can’t really make any judgment yet.
Karam was also asked to highlight a positive point of his group, and he said, “Daebak. The members of my group are amazing; I’ve never met people like them before. They’re like the celebrities I’ve seen on TV. They look good, they have skills, and there’s nothing they can’t do. Look forward to our group!”
