Court rules in TVXQ’s favor

TVXQ Lawsuit

Earlier today, the court had issued a ruling that SM Entertainment cannot interfere with the individual activities of the three members of TVXQ: Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu.

Basically, SM Entertainment can no longer claim full exclusivity on the three TVXQ members. However, the court was unable to decide on whether the contract is invalid at this point as there were way too many variables.

In response, SM Entertainment has revealed that they will immediately appeal the ruling. SME will also hold an official press conference to disclose the truth and their position regarding this matter, which was never revealed to the media previously.

This case ain't over yet as Sejong law firm, representing TVXQ, will file a lawsuit to be compensated for damages as well as to have the contract deemed invalid.

With the recent developments of this case, many feel confident that TVXQ will be able to continue as a group. We will just have to wait a little longer.

I just hope they get the money/pay they deserve and not be slaves of SME anymore. Hopefully, this all works-out and DBSK can finally be a group again!


DBSK Fighting! “Alway Keep The Faith” <3

was wondering when you were gonna post this. What I’ve read from other sources is that they are not allowed to leave SM BUT the 13 year contract will be shortened. To what degree has yet to be decided. Interesting…

O_O- ahh the court ruling is a compromise and i dont think the SME should appeal against it- to be honest they still have exclusive rights the only thing thats changed is that DBSK can reject schedules- etc which is good- but can they really- as they still get low wages etc so they’re going to need to do lots of schedules to keeps the profits high to enable them to get decent wages- to to be honest- did anything really change O_O
but im happy they can still stay as a group!!!

also now im wondering what kind of contract are SHINee suju snsd f(x) in- O_O

thanks for posting this…

“The court has gave out the final ruling on the lawsuit between the 3 members of Dong Bang Shin Ki and SM Entertainment.

Seoul Central Court revealed on 27th October a citation of their ruling for the lawsuit between the SM Entertainment and TVXQ Hero JaeJoong, Xiah JunSu and Micky YooChun.

It was revealed, “We see that part of the terms in their contract has much destroyed the good morals of the whole contract. SM Entertainment should not interfere with its singers’ independent unique activities and also contract to perform and other entertainment activities.”

Previously in July, the 3 members of Dong Bang Shin Ki has revealed their 13-year long contract under SM Entertainment, which meant that they will possibly be working under SM Entertainment for life, and has applied for the effect of provisional disposition of the terms in their contract. And the 2 parties have engaged in a lawsuit as SM Entertainment insist that the terms under their contract are reasonable.

The court also revealed, “Through the individual agreement, there is high possibility for group activities to continue, but for the provisional disposition of the existing activities and the profit allocation, it is invalid and difficult. We will have to dismiss the application for the full provisional disposition of the effects of the exclusive belonging terms in the contract.”

Updates: The 3 members have announced that they will agree to the court rulings on this lawsuit

  The court ruled partial disposition of the exclusive contract terms – to dispose of the SM Ent’s interference to the members’ independent unique activities and also contract to perform and other entertainment activities

  But the part about profit allocation will still have to stay

Addition from 121:

  this the news that I read in soompi the courts in favor of the boys, and they stated that the boys should be able to be more independent (meaning they can reject schedules that SM proposes and can do their own businesses without interference) but not move companies (meaning all the boys will be under SM!) However! This is not a final decision, and the exact, absolute one will come out in the near future. I hope u are no longer confused”

lol!

SME to tell the truth?  that is like saying the devil hates fire… at first i was ecstatic of the news but after reading about SME’s reaction… i’m wary again.. they better not say some stupid shit… my views of SME has already hit rock bottom…

 
yulim's avatar

the article missed the part on the court’s other ruling: “the part about profit allocation will still have to stay”, which means the boys can reject schedules but they can not move companies.

So basically DBSK can say no to being overworked but since they will continue to be paid at servant wages, they’re going to have no choice but to say yes?? okay… that’s stupid ...

omg :O!! yay !! DBSK/TVXQ/TOSHINKINI/TVFXQ FIGHTING <33!!

 
BlueStar's avatar

@11, Yep That’s what I heard as well.

I don’t see it as a Win….but it’s not a loss as well. Partial is the word here.

 
Natto-tan's avatar

Oh gosh…
This whole lawsuit is confusing to me. @__@
I just hope everything will go well and that they’ll
be able to get whatever it is they need.
Always Keep the Faith!! >__<

I’m still wondering about Yunho and Changmin…

Jaejoon, Micky, and Junsu can now do anything they like without SM’s controlling powers. but what about the other 2?? ....TT.TT

 
_XinXin_'s avatar

You did it! SM you fail BOOO SM!

 
JaeJoongFanGirl's avatar

@17. I agree. It’s amazing that they actually get paid $30K per year…. that’s equivalent or less than what a low-income, labour job earner gets in the United States and their celebrities… It’s fucked-up and so is SM Entertainment.


DBSK = Love <3

 
dnklover209's avatar

the profit income thingy decision is not out yet.This is only a partial one, not the full one.Another thing is, SM says they will immediately appeal for the ruling ,I didnt read it from any sources.

@26 ... WHAT?? ONLY $30K per YEAR???

that’s too low… even an Actress with a drama here in the Philippines gets more than $100k per year!

TT.TT ....

I really want to know what’s the decision over the profit income of the boys..

 
camia's avatar

@21
No.. There will be NO disbandment (I guess).. The boys are still under SME and they are their biggest cash cow so I doubt SM will let go of the boys..

 
WgSunbethy's avatar

Go go TVXQ HWaiting<33

DBSK FIGHTING! <3 and @21 IN YO FACE :<

 
BlueStar's avatar

@26. I dont know much about what they do besides singing and performing. But I bet they make much more when they advertise or endorse stuff. I’m sure they make more than $30K a year.
Then again, that’s just me.

 
JaeJoongFanGirl's avatar

@39. Yes, I read it on a website.

TVXQ received only $120K in 4 years. This means $30K per year.
Also, the amount of money TVXQ has earned from when they started their Japanese activities in 2005 till now is a little over 150 million Won per member.
*150 million Won = around $120,000 dollars*


Well, that’s what I read anyway…
