The inaugural MAMA awards might have been over just recently, with the TVXQ trio of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu making an appearance and receiving the "Best Representative for Asia" award on behalf of TVXQ. But in a interview with SM Entertainment right after MAMA was concluded, a representative said that they had no right to do so:

"The trio had no right to receive the award on behalf of TVXQ. The awards organizer should give the award to a liason on behalf of SM Entertainment instead. This is unacceptable since they had only invited the 3 members."

In response, a MNET representative stated:

"We invited all 5 TVXQ members to the MAMA awards ceremony beforehand. But only the trio responded to our request while the other two did not. We don't see any problems with the trio receiving the award on behalf of the whole group."

And the divide between both camps grows even wider after this. Many thanks to honeylemon for the tip.
