Chinese fans are not taking the latest controversy with SM laying down. Baidu BAR took out an ad on the front page of the Korean newspaper Gyunghyang on Dec 26 in which they blast SM Entertainment (SM) for harassing TVXQ.
One version of the translated ad say the fans demand that SM stop their hurtful actions and to let TVXQ sing without constraints. The Chinese fans also basically said they will wait forever until the 5 members are able to perform without SM’s interference.
The storm clouds continue to gather over the management company SM Entertainment (SM) if recent news is accurate. According to translated reports from Sina Entertainment News which are circulating on the internet, 5 more members of the popular group Super Junior have filed a lawsuit against SM for the termination of the Exclusivity part of their contracts.
Those members include: the leader, Lee Teuk as well as Yesung, Kangin, Eun Hyuk and Donghae. Along with Hangeng, that makes 6 of the 13 members who have chosen to fight for fair treatment.
The members’ move comes months after 3 members of TVXQ (Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu) filed suit against SM to terminate the Exclusivity clause in their contract. A court ruling concluded that SM had engaged in unfair practices and sided with the 3 members.
With members of the popular group Super Junior also raising questions about SM’s management, somebody (or persons) at SM may soon be out of a job. Certainly the decisions SM have made in the way they bungled TVXQ’s situation is worthy of a major reassessment of who should be in charge of making such decisions.
The situation should have never gotten this far to begin with and none of these young people deserved to be treated like inanimate “products” either. Common sense dictates that you should always take care of your artists because they are the reason why money comes pouring into any agency to begin with.
TVXQ’s Junsu is raising the profile of the musical “Mozart!” in Korea by taking on the lead role for a few performances in the new year. Every day of the performance where he will star has sold out completely. The interest is so high that fans have even come up with the name Xiahzart! to […]
Wow. Looks like another SM “product” is man enough to fight for a little bit of freedom. Word on the net is that Super Junior’s Hankyung (Hangeng) has filed for termination of the Exclusive Contract he has with SM. If that sounds familiar, it is. 3 members of TVXQ (Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong) filed for […]

TVXQ member Jaejoong’s “soft and romantic charm” in the film Heaven’s Postman earned him a place amongst the list of memorable performances this year.
The film was released in a limited number of theaters but drew massive attention based on the number of people who were trying to get tickets to see it.
According to translated reports, Jaejoong is cited as one of the “idol stars” who surprised movie critics and the public with his sophisticated acting skill even though it was the first time for him in a movie.
