New SM and AVEX ties Reveal a Possible Reason Why JYJ was Blocked in Japan

jyj_017
The reason for AVEX’s behavior a few months ago towards JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) may have been revealed in a new official statement from the company.  AVEX’s (Japan) renewed ties to SM (Korea) seem to be antithetical to supporting to JYJ.  It does appear to some observers that AVEX made the calculated business decision to block JYJ’s rise in Japan in exchange for getting to represent other SM artists. 

The ultimatum from SM to AVEX may have been to either get the trio to give in, or to drop them completely.  The obvious penalty for continuing to support JYJ would have been that AVEX could lose out on the opportunity to represent other SM artists in Japan. 

According to the translated statement released in Japan, AVEX “will be executing exclusive contracts of Super Junior and f(x)”, along with continuing to be the agency of choice for BoA and J-Min.  Also included in that list of AVEX-managed artists is “Tohoshinki”.  But this won’t be the Tohoshinki you’re used to.  This new “Tohoshinki” will only include Yunho and Changmin, apparently.  All of these groups, in case you still haven’t gotten it, are artists controlled… uh, owned… no, uh, signed to SM in Korea.

Fanboy Fan Account !
Sometimes you have this nervous feeling…
The trembling of your body doesn’t mean you’re scared. It means you THRILLED.
That’s exactly how I was!
Even in the car ride to LA I was like OH EM GEE.
Arriving to the place where the concert was held was interesting.
There was so many people in line already and I was wanting to talk to all the Cassi’s!
Walking back in forth of the line to see my friend’s family there was so many people who recognized me from my you tube videos that were posted on DBSKnights.
Now I know how famous people feel when people want to take pictures with them !
About 20 people or so asked me to take pictures with them !
Since I was a VIP I was excited and didn’t know what was going to happen.
There was a surprise waiting for me ………
I got JYJ’s Special Edition “The Beginning” album autographed by all JYJ members !
I was like YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY !
