TVXQ representative from the Sejong law firm say that the first hearing on their dispute of contract terms with SM Entertainment (SM) will be held on August 21 2009 (Seoul, South Korea time).
Three of the five members of TVXQ (Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun) are fighting for improved contract terms and working conditions. They also want SM to release information about TVXQ’s income.
Late last month, TVXQ’s lawyers filed with the District Court for an “Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension” and a “Provisional Disposition Request”. They also filed an application to make SM preserve evidence and force them to turn over pertinent documentation to the lawyers representing the three members.
According to translated reports, the representative for TVXQ said, “We are preparing for the first hearing that will be soon… TVXQ’s stand and SME’s stand on this situation have not changed at all.”

Korean group Tohoshinki (TVXQ / DBSK / Dong Bang Shin Ki) have added three more Gold singles to their list of achievements in Japan. The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has certified that Five in the Black (album), Stand By U (single) and their 3rd Live Tour T releases have all exceeded 100,000 copies.
Selling 100,000 copies signifies a Gold certification designation in Japan.
The achievement is further proof of Tohoshinki’s continued rise in popularity despite their fight for improved contract terms with their Korean agency SM Entertainment.
AVEX (Japan) certainly isn’t letting any grass grown under TVXQ’s (Tohoshinki /DBSK) feet, unlike their parent company SM Entertainment (Korea).
Despite being in a dispute with SM for improved contract terms, Tohoshinki is hot, hot, hot in Japan.
