SM Tries to Stop Sale of New JYJ Album

jyj_012 dongbanger.com
The Korean management company accused of unfair practices with regards to 3 members of the supergroup TVXQ  are trying to stop the sale of the trio’s first album.  SME (SM) reportedly filed an injunction with the court against the sale of JYJ’s new album “The Beginning”. 

Some observers are openly speculating that the move is because it became clear the trio’s debut album will definitely be a huge success.  After all, why would anyone stop the sale of an album they thought was going to fail?

Since this news was first reported by a translated report from AKP, we’ll await further details from an alternate source.  However, this is sure to further sever any good will left lingering between any TVXQ fan and SM since some fans were cutting SM slack because the company did not seem to be actively working against the success of the trio.

The 3 members of DBSK who formed the group ‘JYJ’ held their showcase in Korea, starting their official activities.

The 3 members of JYJ held their ‘JYJ Worldwide Showcase in Seoul’ titled showcase at 9pm at Korea University’s Hwajeong Tiger Dome. It has been about a year since they last met their fans in Korea.

This day’s showcase was held to commemorate the first world album ‘The Beginning’ by the 3 members of DBSK who formed JYJ. The 3 members attended last year’s MNet’s Music Awards ‘MAMA’ as prize winners and it has been around a year since then and they have now appeared in front of their fans in Korea again.

Hello everyone, please excuse the lack of coherence in this account. I’m still greatly deprived of oxygen and my waist is close to snapping. Please understand T.T

During the showcase, they placed a video showing footage from when they were recording their new album in the US. Then there were a few words from the producers who were involved.

After the interview, the three introduced themselves. It seemed as though there were a lot of Yoochun fans where I was standing… probably because of SungKyunKwan Scandal. When he came out, the screaming was especially loud. Of course, it was equally deafening for the 2 other members!

The concert last night was scheduled to begin at 8pm, but I arrived at 5. Since I got there so early, I didn’t see a lot of Korean fans. I did see a lot of Japanese fans though, they were standing nearby, buying fan merchandise and taking photos with the posters of Junsu. Everyone seemed to be really excited. More people began to show up and I stopped to chat with some of the other fans. Those who’d seen the concert the previous day raved about how wonderful it was, saying that they had to see it a second time and that they wanted to buy tickets for a few more performances. keke~

Doors opened at around 7 and the line was mostly made up of Japanese fans who had even brought their Bigeast towels along to show their support. We waited for an hour after being seated, and suddenly I heard people speaking Chinese beside me. Upon inquiry, I found out that they’d come all the way from Hong Kong. It was nice to know that there was a good number of Chinese fans around ^^
