Cassiopeia releases statement about SME’s allegations
Members of the Korean Cassiopeia, TVXQ/DBSK’s official fanclub, have released their official statement regarding SM Entertainment’s press conference regarding legal dispute involving DBSK which took place yesterday. Here is the translated version of their statement:
We 800,000 Cassiopeians would like to announce our official view in this statement. With accusations and allegations flying everywhere, we announce this in order to show the fanclub’s official standing on this matter. This statement is made by union of numerous DBSK fan cafes and we present this in the name of Cassiopeia.
First of all, we would like to say that, as fans of DBSK, we support DBSK and will not do anything to betray their trust in us. We will not trust anything besides words that come out of the DBSK members’ mouths, and we ask SME to stop actions that are intended to confuse and divide the fans.
We Cassiopeians are very disappointed in SME for holding press conference and releasing signed documents in the name of Yunho and Changmin. As the management company of DBSK, SME must not forget their job and must stop their actions intended to defame the members of DBSK and break the group apart. Also, according the the court ruling made on the 27th, SME must not make deals with third parties in the name of the three members and cannot interfere with individual works or those members. Please keep the court’s order.
To everyone who is reading this statement, please remember: the members did not take legal actions because of the issues regarding the cosmetics business. They started this lawsuit because of illegal contract length of 13 years. We fans do not understand why SME is silent about the issue of the contract length and is trying to focus everyone’s attention on the cosmetics fiasco. The goal of this lawsuit was to nullify or edit contract between SME and the three members, and we believe that they did not intend to end DBSK or move onto another management company. Also, we would like to address to reporters who sensationalize and create rumours related to this press conference. Please be careful with your sources.
We would like to ask SME one more time to not make the three members’ reputation and rights suffer with claims that have never been proven, and we would like to ask the citizens of Korea to stop creating rumours and defame DBSK. We would like to show our condolences toward this controversy.
As Cassiopeians, the fans of DBSK, we will keep our attention focused to the future actions of DBSK and SME. We will continue to side with DBSK. DBSK and fans never doubt.

what if Yunho&Changmin; did made and signed the statement,even the content somewhat altered by SME. they chose side. poor YH&CH;,they’re not very popular in DBSK arent they? now they know that 800,000 fans would not stand behind them even the duo really want to stay under ‘SME the tyrant’.SAD.

“To everyone who is reading this statement, please remember: the members did not take legal actions because of the issues regarding the cosmetics business. They started this lawsuit because of illegal contract length of 13 years. ”
Since when did 13 years become illegal?! You know what Cassiopeia? There’s this thing called “Conflict of Interest” wherein you MUST declare ALL of your involvement to ANY company that has a potential conflict (regardless if there really is or none) with the company or corporation that you’re currently working at. The three of them made a mistake by hiding their investment and not declaring it to SME’s knowledge. And in that case, they should be penalized of course. And FYI and even a highschool student would know that before you sign an employment contract, your parents or guardians must sign as well on the contract (or must have an approval at the very least) if the employee/person is underage/not of legal age. And you know very well, that when TVXQ signed their contract, they were still underage so it basically makes sense as to why their parents are involved and are now also releasing their respective statements. In short, TVXQ and their parents agree with each and every contract proposed by SME, with all the time constraints and money involved.
The inhumane profit division between TVXQ and SME is another issue to be tackled, and in that issue we know that SME sucks. However, what’s wrong with releasing an official statement? When SME releases an official statement, you claim it as something that is untrue and absurd but when TVXQ releases an official statement, you easily believe them. Do you really weigh things first before reacting?
It’s already complicated as it is, and your official statement won’t do any good to anyone.
cassies are amazing
THIS is amazing.
support DBSK all the way!
