[NEWS] JYJ and SM Entertainment’s legal battle comes to an end
The legal battle between JYJ and SM Entertainment has finally come to an end!
After what seems like forever, the two sides are reported to have come to a mutual agreement on the 28th.
It is said that SM Entertainment and JYJ have both withdrawn all lawsuits against one another, and have agreed to not interfere with any of each other’s activities.
The long drawn out fight was started back in July 31st, 2009 when the initial lawsuit was filed against SM Entertainment by the three members of JYJ, who were part of TVXQ, requesting for the cancellation of their contracts. Since then, the two sides failed to reach an agreement every time and was due back in court again later this year.
It seems the legal battle is now over, and both sides, especially JYJ, can work towards moving forward free of the legal issues that had been holding them back.

[NEWS] SM and JYJ Put an End to Their Long, Winding Legal Suit
SM Entertainment and JYJ′s long three-year-and-four-month-long legal fight has come to an end with a mutual agreement.
Through an official press release issued on November 28, SM Entertainment said it decided to wrap up the issue “to avoid bringing additional harm to U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, who are active as TVXQ (DBSK), and to avoid making any more unneeded issues.”
It added, “The three (JYJ) have confirmed that they are not willing to be active any longer as TVXQ, and so SM Entertainment has decided that there is no need for the company to continue to manage the three. We have also decided not to interfere in each other′s matters in the future, and this is how the trial has come to an end with today′s hearing.”
With the end of the long legal journey, attention has been paid to whether JYJ will be able to appear again in the three major channels.
About the reason JYJ has not been appearing in KBS2′s Music Bank or its variety shows such as Win Win, KBS has previously said, “Because the issue between JYJ and its former agency isn′t finished, KBS has been keeping its eye on the results of the trial with as objective an attitude as possible. Normally, celebrities involved in a legal battle refrain from appearing [in such shows], as their appearances can affect the results of the legal processions. We plan to invite them or book their appearance in shows depending on the results of the trial.”
Ever since JYJ filed for a cancellation of its contract against SM Entertainment on July 31, 2009, Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoo Chun and Kim Junsu haven′t been able to appear in variety or music shows on the three major channels. They have, instead, made appearances in dramas produced by outsourced productions.
Now that the legal battle has come to an end, there is a chance that the group will start to appear on main channel shows as singers again.
After filing their suit against SM Entertainment, the members of JYJ have signed a new management contract with C-JeS Entertainment, and have since been active in film, drama and musicals.

[NEWS] Contract dispute between SM Entertainment and JYJ finally ends
The contract dispute between SM Entertainment and JYJ (Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu) has finally ended after 3 years and 4 months.
According to several reports on November 28th, SM Entertainment and JYJ have resolved the contract dispute, with both sides deciding to end the files for injunction that were filed on July 31st, 2009.
In addition, both sides withdrew all related litigation, signing a contract that they will not embark in mutual matters again.
An representative from SM Entertainment said through a press release on the 28th, “The three no longer wanted to be part of TVXQ as there is no reason to be under the management of SM Entertainment. And so, it was decided to end the case and negotiation today with the agreement that there will be no mutual connections.”
“In order to prevent any further discomfort and unnecessary issues for the current TVXQ members, U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, who have continued to proceed with their activities, the judge decided that it was best to end this trial.”
C-JeS representative Baek Changju said, “Three years ago when the court accepted our injunction, we thought that this was a fight we had already won. The legal situation isn’t what interfered with JYJ’s activities, but this was more of a David vs. Goliath situation. We don’t see it as a big change in their activities. JYJ is going to continue with their future plans and activities as planned.”
“With this final court verdict, we hope that the restriction that was involved in this case will improve. We want to send our sincere thanks to fans who have been continuously giving their support without any changes.”
JYJ first made their entrance into the music industry as part of the 5-member group TVXQ, until the trio filed an injunction at the Seoul Central District Court against SM Entertainment on July 31st, 2009, disputing their contract with the agency. Since September 2010, they formed the group JYJ under C-JeS and have been relatively active in the music industry, going on world tours, and achieving high success in the acting scene since then.

@spring cabrera
~WELCOME~ And didn’t you pick a Red Letter Day to come and join us?
I’ll join that virtual group hug!
Now that I think about it, maybe this is why JJ’s been looking so chill & bright eyed the last few days. I thought maybe he was finally getting enough rest (or a lot of coffee).
The thought of the lawsuit being almost over probably helped.
Could explain those V signs he & Yoochun did in recent pics. Perhaps it’s for both victory and peace.
28 Nov 2012: JYJ Independence Day, marked on calendar
trending – #JYJIndependenceday
HELL YES!!!
Indeed, JYJ are the true brotherhood, they gave up going after the compensation they were due, these guys remain upstanding till the end.
ps. Don’t know why the video below is not working, admins please help remove, but this is the link for those who are interested:
@lisan
And a big virtual HUG to you, dear Lisan… and while we’re at it, lets jump up and down and scream while we’re doing it!
indeed, I am still celebrating
seriously, I’m in tears now! happy tears!
Barbeque party !!!
So happy for JYJ, congratulations to JYJ and all the loyal fans who have stood by them. This is such a happy day.
sorry, haven’t posted a video in a while, please remove this second one, thanks.
Do you feel supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Cause’ I do!
Hecka Yes to group hugs!!!
Ah…I really hope for the very best. Most MCs in variety shows are from SM except for our friend JaeSuk. I am cringing (because it may be awkward) but kinda excited to see Junsu on Strong Heart (Eunhyuk is a regular member there). JYJ in Gag Concert would be hilarious. Of course, Running Man!!!
Those music shows are cheesy but I understand they are necessary to get JYJ music out there on National TV and gains more fans. We are loyal so we are always gonna be there but our boys deserve to gain more. I heard that Yoochun has a lot of Adjumma and Uncle and young fans because of his dramas and they do not know that he sings or part of the awesome JYJ.
They deserve bigger and better things…let us all go with them! Hwaiting!!!
**GROUP-HUG** ^^
oh hell yessss, finally the day has come, i’m sooo happy. jyj fighting, cant wait to see them on variety shows and music programs.

HALLELUYAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!?
gosh, i almost scream in my office!!
is this true? then jyj can appear in variety show? can appear in music show? can do whatever freaking they want???
wonder what kind of BS KBS will say now…
running man PD!!! please ask JYJ to appear in your program!!! *squeal*
OMG ! waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh congratssssss uriiii JYJ …yaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh …ohhhhhhhh .. waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh xD so happy n exciteddddd
It ended in a purr rather than a growl…but maybe JYJ realized that the group and individuals in it are doing very well even with the ban that there is no need to wait for mighty SM to bow/back down. But SM backed down a little too because it has too much resources and could have continue this ugly thing forever. Hopefully, we will see JYJ more and more and gain more fans and be rewarded greatly because they have suffered a lot. JYJ fighting!!!
SM may have a ton of resources, but they also have a bunch of pissed off investors after last quarter’s low revenue.
As for me, I just wanna see JJ on a show like Running Man & being his usual, random, 4D self.
JYJ have truly flourished despite the ban against them. Talk about blooming in adversity!
However, they have so much more to give than what they’ve been allowed these past 3 years. They have the potential to do more & we all know it.
They’ll truly have the freedom to be JYJ without the lawsuit & the ban holding them down like shackles. What’s next for JYJ?
That’s what I’m excited about!
Amen.
You have said it all for me. I’m excited about that fact too…. I’m happy they never gave up and that is the lesson they have taught so many of us… This is why i’m a fan of JYJ the most because they show there hearts…….
So happy for them….
OMG !!!!! waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh … yeaaaaahhhhhhhhh … ohhhhhhhhhhhhh … so happy n excitedddd … Congratsss uriii JYJ xD
OOOOOOOOOOOMG!!!! CONGRATS JYJ – they’ve waited too long for this!!
I just jumped out of my bed screaming Finally!!!! I have never been so happy. They are freed.
But part of me is sad that they lost three years of their careers because of SM.
and I think that SM planned all of this from the beginning since they blocked JYJ because they didnt want them competing with the new TVXQ, and now that rumors are that Yunho will go to the army the next year and so no more TVXQ so SM has nothing to lose anymore.
It just angers me that this lawsuit lasted for so long I just had to say it.
Anyway I should be happy. God I am almost crying from happiness. ^__^.
OOOOOOOOOOOMG!!!! CONGRATS JYJ – they’ve waited too long for this!! YAYYY
GREAT !!! … SM you better keep to that agreement and no more BS !!
WAIT … does this mean we may see JYJ on running man?
@Meme
Is this you??? Baby, is this really you??? Oh what a happy moment to find my beloved Meme!!! I’m so happy; I want to dance LOL YESSSSSS!!!!
where have you been ?!!! * hug* T^T
I’ve been so far but so close at the same time…… Sometimes the pain is unbearable and it’s better to step aside… But one never forgets her home nor her beloved sisters…… I’ve been by JYJ’s side all the time, both laughing and crying with them as one being….. My lovely Meme; I’ve missed you a lot…. Please stay…
Hello My JYJ3 Sister,
So good to see you around. Glad to see you come and take part of our first unexpected celebration. Hope all is well.
BAF
@BAF
So nice to see you too. But of course I have to celebrate with my sisters; JYJ deserves that and so much more…. Everything is all right thanks God : D
Oh my god!! I’m so happy… Best news I’ve ever heard!!!! Can’t contain myself from smiling widely and crying at the same time… JYJ FIGHTING!!!!
When has JYJ interfered with SM’s activities? On the other hand, SM has used all under-handed measures to interfere with JYJ’s activities during the last 3 years. While I’m happy that the contract has now been nullified, there is no assurance that the blocking of their appearances on TV will not continue.
it’s true, but I am hoping, PD’s & producers of Variety shows & etc. would invite JYJ or any of them.
MY EXACT THOUGHTS!
@jyjpathfinder I totally agree And did you notice how SM worded this statement: “The three no longer wanted to be part of TVXQ as there is no reason to be under the management of SM Entertainment.” They should have put the latter part of that sentence first, which would have been more truthful. They should have said: As there is no reason to be under the management of SM Entertainment the three can no longer be part of TVXQ. But they can’t make themselves sound/look bad, this was a jab at our boys. SM and it’s unrelentless venom,
Standing applause for JYJ….finaly they can appear on TV…..
Can we officially declare Nov 28 as JYJ Independence day???
^^^________________________^^^
Yay! I couldn’t agree more! haha
1) the both would cancel all lawsuit filed against each other
-does this mean that SM will not compensate JYJ when they were on their previous group?
2) will not disturb any activities against each other.
-heller!!! JYJ has nothing to do with SM, while SM did everything in their power to interfere with JYJ
That was exactly my reaction. If the lawsuit has been dropped on both ends, despite the court siding with JYJ, that means JYJ does not get any compensation. It probably also means they lose the rights to the TVXQ name as a quintet and all the work they did under said name.
As for the disturbance of each other’s activities, since SME tactics was underhanded to begin with there’s no guarantee that they will stop interfering with JYJ’s broadcast/ production activities.
On the brighter side, there are rumors that SME is not economically sound. Hence why JYJ probably decide it was best to not seek monetary compensation. A three year lawsuit is nothing cheap, and most know that it’s affected SME more than JYJ in the economical department. So at least JYJ managed to suck funds out of SME the last three years in some way.
I completely agree.. I wonder if they at least got SME to pay for the legal cost.. JYJ hired one of the best legal team in SK from what I’ve read.. I’m completely grateful and at peace that the battle has ended but it also left me a bitter taste.. I know investors are very disappointed with their recent financial result thus SME negotatiated this in order to not pay what they owe JYJ.. If they lost this legal battle, steep fall in share price will definitely destroy SME..
What’s more SME press con explanation is again quite nasty.. What do they mean by “to avoid bringing additional harm to U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, who are active as TVXQ (DBSK)”? How has this issue harmed them only? SME indirectly lying the blame on JYJ and the lawsuit instead of acknowledging their part in it. Drives me crazy.
But hey, we need to be thankful for even little thing JYJ win and got under such circumstances. Hooray! Looking forward for an even brighter future of JYJ! <3
@lovin’JYJ
It doesn’t matter what nonsense they say. Don’t we all know by now they are only capable of lying to cover their asses?? Of COURSE they would try to spin it to enhance themselves — this is SM, self justification is their stock in trade because they have thousands of brainwashed teenagers in their fanclubs who believe every single stupid thing they say. But it doesn’t matter any more. The end of the court case is a major milestone and the walls are COMING DOWN.
my opinion
1) at this point on, I don’t think that JYJ still want monetary compensation. I believe what’s much more important to them is the freedom in doing activities both inside and outside of Korea.
2) About whether SM will stop cockblocking JYJ, I’d like to see the outcome of their statement of stopping to interfere with JYJ’s activities, considering the biggest liar that they are, but for once I truly hope they just for this once will stay true to their words.
and may I add, though I have no care whatsoever towards Yunho and Changmin but I hope they can rekindle their friendship. And may God bless JYJ for the rest of their lives. Amen
Same!! While I’m also more than glad the case is over, I’m kinda bitter jyj had to compromise on SMs terms too. They won the first lawsuit and now they won’t receive compensation for what THEY DESERVE and been fighting for…but in the end they get the freedom at last to be broadcasted! SM BETTER tell all their kepta KEPA or whatever association that they cannot be blocked or banned!
I’m not too reassured like the rest whether sm will stick with this….would they even allow Sm to be with jyj in same music show?
But it’s understandable JYJ had to give in as well as SM. they both know they have what each other wants: SM can ban our boys which JYJ desperately wants to perform on stage while JYJ can reap the money from SM that SM cannot give back at this point, also SM is already tarnished with bad lawsuits against them (never end well), thus they wanted this biggest lawsuit yet to be deleted off the history books! IN the end, they just dropped it all for the sake of settlement.
They were never going to get that money. Simply because, SME doesn’t have it. SME would have to do something drastic to come up with that sort of compensation. I think the hunger to perform freely and without restrictions has overruled the feeling of vengeance. The boys said they were prepared to lose their careers, but since that didn’t happen, there are other ways they can STICK IT IN SME’s ASS. So hopefully, they are able to that fairly and while sharing their talent with their beloved fans.
This! so much! I hope the boys got compensated and are just not sharing that imformation to the public in order to keep the “peace” between them and SME. And everybody knows SME will not keep their word of not interferring with the boys.
One can only hope. I think it would fair to have them at least claim royalties for the TVXQ work they put in as 5, including the compositions under JYJ’s names.
Yes. That would be fair.
OMG OMG OMG! Thank you God, I’m sooooo thankful, we are all thankful. Thank you JYJ for being so strong all this years, this makes me so happy I want to cry. You deserve to be free and you deserve to be more successful, you deserve all the good things.
We’re all just waiting for you, your fans.. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
FINALLY!!!! *throw confeitti*
Though i still won’t believe this until i saw JYJ appear on National TV again.
Well Running Man PD should invite them for their first appearance on TV. Imagine how the viewers rating will be exploded! xD

@lilibaiyu
Its true i suppose, i hope coz its in the news sis, oh a perfect Christmas for JYJ and the fandom
Perfect also for their next album launching–> 2013, meanwhile i wanna savor JYJs FREEDOM today
Praise God!!!!
Right hear my dear VE Sister.

Lili,
I haven’t visited the Liberty Bell in ages. I just may make a special trip down to see it, crack and all, and give it a little touch.
LET FREEDOM RING!
To all my JYJ Family of Fans on this glorious day, let us remember to keep on Making Miracles for Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. They will need us now more than ever. We must continue to remind the rest of the world how incredibly talented these three charmers are, and how much they deserve to be seen and heard on the airwaves of South Korea.
South Korea, the ball in your court now. Do JYJ proud and treat them right for all the undue nonsense they’ve had to endure these past 3 1/2 yrs. They deserve only the best from you from now on. Afterall, they have done their best to represent you with much pride, dignity, and class. We their fans respectully ask you to return the favor. Thank you.
PEACE
OK, right **here**. Damn, I can’t even get it right on a wonderful day like today! Geez LOL
@lilibaiyu
I’m beyond speechless and floored at this sudden announcement. It seems unbelievable that this has come to a complete end after dragging on for so long. I want to laugh and cry at the same time!
This talented trio deserves by their grace, dignity and actions of the last 3+ years, the respect of their fellow countrymen and government and I hope it is proclaimed loudly, vociferously and joyously throughout the media of the land!
All I’m saying is
right now 
to the millionth power!
I think it’s pretty damn amazing that they were able to finagle this without leaks and whatever else has gone on with the other stuff in the past. some serious … stuff… must have gone on behind closed, sealed, and sound-proof doors for this to be pulled off, but I am SO DAMN FRACKING GLAD!
And now I shall crawl back into the maelstrom of my life, with JYJ, all the way
Yes my Sister from Hawaii,
A great deal of very special effort went into this announcement. I have no doubts there are things we will never know or hear about. All of a sudden, I’m being grateful for the extreme flucuations possible in the stock market. Never know how it will affect folks.
Go back to work now. 
But is this really good news?? Am I the only one who isn’t entirely happy? I know I’m being really pessimistic, but doesn’t this just prove the opposite of everything JYJ stood for? I mean, it’s like all this fight was for nothing.. Can we really consider this a win? I kinda feel sad rather than happy, I feel like SM won.. This is what they wanted; to just pretend that nothing has happened.. to not get punished for their crimes against human rights.. SM just got everything they wanted.. It’s like if your boss was unjust towards you, you complain and fight for your rights… then you get worn out and just give in… I’m not saying I blame JYJ cuz honestly, I was getting tired of this myself.. But this proves to other idols that “If your agency mistreats you, do not fight, because you can never win anyway”…
I was really looking forward for a true win from JYJ’s side. People against JYJ always used the delayed courts as an excuse to say that JYJ were at the wrong and were loosing.. They always said: If JYJ were right, then why haven’t they won yet? And JYJ fans would say: You just watch and you’ll see, jyj are winning for sure…
And this doesn’t really guarantee anything either.. I doubt this will remove the pressure from the broadcasting companies.. I can’t imagine a variety show with both JYJ and SM’s artists together… or even better/worse a show with both Homin and JYJ… Now that these companies have no more excuses to refuse broadcasting JYJ, only more problems will arise.. Iol, I’m really seeing this in a negative light aren’t I…
This sentence really had me laughing for a while..”The three no longer wanted to be part of TVXQ as there is no reason to be under the management of SM Entertainment. And so, it was decided to end the case and negotiation today with the agreement that there will be no mutual connections.”
SM made it sound like ALL THIS TIME, they had no idea that JYJ didn’t want to be a part of TVXQ anymore… that ALL THIS TIME SM thought JYJ still had a reason to be under the management of SMent.. that ALL THIS TIME, SM were waiting for JYJ to come back… and now, they have just figured out that JYJ “no longer wanted to be part of TVXQ”.. and that is why it took them ALL THIS TIME to finally end the case… Like what the hell!!
Also, what’s with “We have also decided not to interfere in each other′s matters in the future”?!! “EACH OTHER’s” ?? When have JYJ EVER interfered with SM’s matters.. also, is SM admitting that they have been actually interfering with JYJ’s matters??
@jyjae91
“But is this really good news?? Am I the only one who isn’t entirely happy?”
Oh, that’s OK. I understand where you’re coming from and I’ve occasionally taken the contrarian view myself so I know how you feel.
But I must reassure you that Yes, this was a win, by any stretch of the imagination. A Loss would have been the court saying, “Sorry, boys, you have to go back and fulfill your obligations under your contract with SM.”
Even I am prepared to admit that SM held some pretty powerful cards in this arbitration negotiation which has now concluded. They could continue to bribe the TV outlets and entertainment show producers to NOT book JYJ if they were forced to pay a monstrous settlement. They could also have just refused to settle, lost the initial case and then kept JYJ entangled in further appeals for years more, also enforcing the ban. I have a lot of confidence that Sejong is one classy lawfirm and they know their stuff. I have to agree that with everything JYJ has going for them, letting SM off the hook in a sense by non-disclosure of any actual terms of the end of the case and allowing them to save face just might be a strategy to get them to really lift the ban. This of course remains to be seen. But I was reading the comments on the end of the case on AllKPop today (there are over 9000 of them now) and overwhelmingly and I mean by a vast majority people were saying “How Great! Now we’ll be able to see them on “Running Man” and the music shows, right?”
So we’ll see but let’s try to be positive. The end of the case IS a major milestone. Maybe just celebrate a little.
Both parties withdraw the cases.
And let’s see IF SM & its ally REALLY NOT disturbing JYJ.
This compromise , i think JYJ cannot get back any compensation penny in
the past 3.4 years. And all the legal expenses.
Speechless .
Anyway, time to spot those media who long have banned JYJ.
Really sis? no compensation?????
oh well i can’t digest these implications yet, for now i am so HAPPY of JYJ’s FREEDOM!
@jyj1214 ~ sis, through other sources…..JYJ ‘s representative have” no comment ” on this compromise & no words about any compensation . Big sigh….
Besides winning their Freedom, let’s pray that they will be compensated. But if they won’t and they agreed to it, they must have valid reasons. I trust JYJ is well represented and adviced. I trust JYJs decision too. I fully support them since they know better. Meanwhile let’s celebrate JYJ INDEPENDENCE today! Huggggsss!
@Aurora
“JYJ ‘s representative have” no comment ” on this compromise & no words about any compensation . Big sigh….”
That is completely normal for an out of court settlement. No numbers disclosed, no information about anything made to the public about the terms. This is a regular way for SM to do business too – non disclosure clauses. It would frankly have shocked me to have heard actual numbers in this settlement. I believe there was some award to JYJ. We’ll never know how much. I guess we’ll just have to see if Chunnie goes out and buys another yacht. lol
And I can only be completely happy if I can see JYJ’s schedule for their TV/radio appearances/guestings.
I wonder how much JYJ have given up for this agreement, but I guess money is just money, they can always raise it, all they want now is TRUE FREEDOM.
I do wish they could be compensated for the money owed to them while they were in SM.
However, I do think you’re right. Money comes and goes. Just ask the SM investors. JYJ have done very, very well earning for themselves. Thank you very much!
Now, they have true freedom, as you said. And that trumps money every time.
@kris ~ ” I wonder how much JYJ have given up for this agreement “.
JYJ, possibly have to make big give in, my conservative speculation is over US$ 1 billion , which may have underrated. ( nett of reputation loss) >< Agree, these $ can earn elsewhere.
** really no choice, President election soon.
Pray for more time & energy for JYJ , & Fans support non-stop.
We’re thinking along the same lines @aurora. As happy as I am for this to be over, I feel SM is getting off with a light slap on the wrist! Those shows that refused to have them on air; we’ll be watching them, too! I’m glad JYJ can start to put this behind them; three true gentlemen<333
@xiahspearl12 ~ ” I’m glad JYJ can start to put this behind them; three true gentlemen ”
Agree with you! JYJ swallowed the bitter cup like this, i truly hope their losses will be compensated in other ways. Let’s pray together & watch closely SM actual conduct.
This year end & next year – HM will hold tour in whole Asia, Japan all 5 domes… ( seems like try to
“harvest” all potential $)
Let’s see JYJ Japan careers any true light.
Now SM shifted 70% of its resources in China market. It has successfully built up powerful corps,
Jae and chunnie drama success, will seriously hindered by SM in China.
Can Korea court to cast away dirty hands overseas ?
This i greatly doubt.
Don’t worry, SM does not have the power to hinder JYJ in China. China is too big, and the entertainment industry is diversified, no union, won’t line up to ban someone since competition is extremely fierece. As long as you are not banned by the govt, no one can have full control over a celebrity, and honestly SM is NOT doing well in China, what SM artists have filmed in China are not up to standard drama. On the other Yoochun’s popularity boost like rocket thru Rooftop Prince, and Missing You now is a big big hit as well, trending never dropped out of Top 10 in weibo since ep 6.
@xiahspearl12
Actually, I think the damage done to SM’s reputation in the industry has been huge. This company of thieves has shot itself in the foot – in fact they’ve blown the whole thing to bits. They’ll be limping from now on. They are seen by many many people now as an exploiter and their behavior during the banning of JYJ has been deplorable. They are now in big trouble with their stock and probably with their stockholders. They are incapable of doing ethical business and of telling the truth to anybody about anything– not a good combo for a publicly traded company.
That doesn’t sound like much of an “upside” in any of this to me.
“JYJ, can work towards moving forward free of the legal issues that had been holding them back.”—finally go and move on, move forward Jaejoong-Yoochun-Junsu…soar & fly! we shall be your wind….i’m so emo right now (and having headache coz the news was so sudden today, but overall I’M so Overjoyed!!!
Hi auntie.. I’m in shock, I can not believe what I am reading…O_O .. all of a sudden. I need to digest the news yet, but I’M so Overjoyed!!! too ヾ（＠＾▽＾＠）ノ…… ヾ（＠＾▽＾＠）ノ……. ヾ（＠＾▽＾＠）ノ

wohooo!!!! i feel so glad to see this news!!!!!!
love you guys!!!! 
Finally !!!This is true or just talk??It is not a joke ?I sincerely hope JYJ to be free…(But do not forget that the SM is Mafia) But nevertheless, I strongly believe that JYJ will be independent !!!!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *screaming!!!!* ^^
It’s been a bumpy ride, but we made it. Finally, we’re here! I am so happy! JYJ we will continue to support you
People lets vote for JYj in KOREA CULTURE ENT AWARDS! Lets give some gift for our boys
What the!!!! OMG!! Is this true??? My JYJ are free men at last!!!! All the tears, all the pain, all the suffering, all the stress is finally GONE!!!!! I’m HAPPY!!!! A big bear hug to Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, my beloved JYJ. Justice has been done
Oh so it takes this to bring you out ? ^____^
Baby!!!!!!! I’ve missed you badly…… I’ve screamed for you both on twitter and GAP…… Yes, I can’t believe this…… Tell me it’s true, please tell me it’s true…….
never had Twitter and was lurking for quite the time .
Baby, please I beg you to consider opening a twitter account…… Please ……..
Yes hun it is true.
XD XD XD XD Yipeeeeeee!!!!!
@shuheilove
my dear sis ‘big hug from me’
@Miaw
Baby!!!! I’ve thought about you all the time….. Where have you been??? I miss you too!! :3 Hugs
@shuheilove
hehe me too….i always thought what are you doing right now or kind of that things……
well i am fine just got some flu and don’t know why but my right eyes became teary right now and (is not because i am crying though
Oh baby, please take care and stay close….. Al least a little tiny tweet from time to time…..
i suggest to form a squad to counter check all concerts activities OUTSIDE Korea.
Because the huge DISTURBANCE not only within Korea.
SM “promises” not to interfere INSIDE Korea, perhaps overseas bullying NOT included><
Anyway, clear some major problems for 2013 JYJ new album comeback is good ,
For all the losses….$ or mentally damage…..hope JYJ can earn elsewhere, and
receive many prayers from all Fans.
Sigh…court ruled for JYJ, but finally 3 guys need to have compromised by withdrawal.
Really speechless….
hi @glacial… *sighing with you*
very much to my dissappointment actually. Why??? Why is there no other option other than compromising?? SM or any other management artist companies cheating their artist need to be humiliated, if they indeed deserve to be, at least i hope it will be done somehow by revealing the verdict.
But recalling almost all the lawsuit filled by SK artists against former management company, it ended up on agreement. Hangeng’s case, Younha’s case. But I still considered this case is won by JYJ.
As for the money (it is the core of everything regardless in our world today), I’m hoping and praying with you… Let’s JYJ and fans be strong for each other!!!!!!
Always keep the fighting spirit!!!!
hi @ai uta ~ I truly understand your disappointment. Because i m very disappointed too.
( i wonder if the judge feel ashamed on this )
Future SM head lines will be twisted as : SM won the case over JYJ. or, JYJ finally conceded due to blah…blah..blah….
People will forget the court actually ruled for JYJ.
Thanks for bring up Hangeng’s & Younha’s cases. They all have to compromised with ” mutual ” agreement. But Hangeng is not allowed to enter Korea, isn’t it a kind of interference ???!!
Luckily, Hangeng won the Best Asia Act’ over Super Junior for 2012 MTV EMA & prize for the Worldwide act , ha! keep dreaming SME, pls don’t wake up. ( they can still fool themselves non-stop
with MAMA 2012 )
Website:
http://asia.mtvema.com/winners
I hope JYJ gain more & more chance to bring quality performance to Fans.
For the core money loss, for some reasons, i think JYJ can never get a cent.
><
Yes, JYJ & Fans let's always keep the fighting spirit.
SM is already saying that the decided to settle to “avoid bringing additional harm to Yunho and Changmin who are still active as TVXQ”….Ah excuse me, Homin suffered harm because of this lawsuit? Those two are probably harmed by staying in SM.
And SM said that JYJ have Confirmed that they are not willing to be active as TVXQ and so “SM entertainment has decided that there is no need for the company to continue to manage the three.” Ah duh, JYJ has moved on and btw SM thought they were still managing the three? They wish! JYJ is better without them.
SM promised that here will be no interference in the future…I hope so very much…ahhh, time will tell.
You know what? I’m very happy to read this news. Finally!
But I can’t help being skeptical about it —> that JYJ would be able to promote and appear on SK music and variety shows.
In the meantime, I’ll hold my happiness until I see them on SK TV.
I wan to see JYJ on Running man IMMEDIATELY :p
yEAAA me too…, i hope a tv program can invite them as soon as posible !!
@twinkle55 ~ yeah, let’s pray on this
OMG!!!X100 I can’t believe it that I finally read it with my own eyes now. ~crying~ FINALLY!! YAY JYJ!!!
Now those idols out there should beware of professional artist JYJ comeback. Seriously, JYJ influences is sooo big that the others has no chance at all. Now we will how JYJ dominates everything. hehehehe…. I hope that JYJ get their compensations that they demanded from SM and if not JYJ loses a lot. ~sigh~ JYJ on TV JYJ on TV JYJ on TV
I would literally KILL to know the exact terms of their agreement. But honestly, assuming that it’s true /fingers crossed and stomach in knots/ this result is more than enough to make me happy. <and yes that's an outrageous understatement
seriously i don’t know what should i do……i wanna scream but i can’t…….is this mean that JYJ can appear on TV again ? is this truly the end of those battle ?…….is there any guarantee that those people never gonna interfered to our boys activities again ? one more important thing i wanna ask with these result is that mean that SM not need to pay all of the loss that our boys have from these past 3 years after their interfered act ? i only wanna know about those things for sure….
I am happy if the boys finally truly became free and can appear on any reality show or music program also i hope those people who ever insult and give a weird excuse or reason to the boys gonna apologize for their act especially KFPCAI. Am i demand too much ? i hope not
i hope so too… but let’s just look to the brighter side. let’s be happy together for this miracle….hehehe..
yup
well….. i just imagine if only all of us in the same place right now…maybe it’s gonna be more like a festival……..everyone cheer and hug each other, laugh and crying together……oh okay i guess i need to stop before i write something more weird than this
‘big hug for everyone’
OMG OMG OMG…!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWWW I’M SO HAPPY FINALLY THE PROBLEM END.. YES… SO HAPPY FOR THEM .. FINALLY THE HAD BEEN GOTTEN FREE. FROM SM ENTERTAIMENT….. YEAH YEAH…. SO OW THEY WILL BE ABLE TO APPEAR IN TV SHOW, PROGRAMS, RUNNING MAN JUST LIKE JAEJOONG SHII WANTS… AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YES…
FINALLY JYJ WIN WELL BOTH OF THEM… BUT JYJ NOW CAN PROMOTE EACH OTHER AND APPEAR ON VARIETY SHOW…
SO I HOPE I TV SHOW, OR A TV PROGRAM…. INVITE THEY SOON,….. AWWWWWWWWW I’M SO HAPPY FOR JAEJOONG, JUNSU AND YUCHUN!!!
omg so does it mean they can perform on music shows? but YAY!!!
oh my god! i could not help my tears from falling….
after i read the headline, my heart starts to beat erratically. and when i read the whole article, i cry. i always dream for this day to come. and at long last, it happened. i don’t expect them to be in korean tv shows soon, but to be freed from legal bondage overwhelms me. JYJ suffered much and I’m glad that it is over now.
i hope SM will honor this mutual agreement and let, JEAJONG/YOOCHUN/JUNSU soar higher…I’VE KEPT MY FAITH and I WILL ALWAYS BE…
Someone pleaseeee pinch me hard and say that I’m not dreamming,..
I wish I could be overjoyed for JYJ right now, but I am not. I am deeply saddened that the court had previously decided to postpone the case indefinitely, and I wonder how much that played into this withdrawing of all suits filed. I feel like the Korean court system sold JYJ out to maintain peace with big corporations. I am really proud of JYJ, and I hope they really get to freely promote themselves from now on. I really hope so.
I really feel sad. They deserve so much more than this token “mutual withdrawing” of cases. They deserve to be recognized by the court as the brave pioneering survivors of systemic abuse to first stand up for themselves in the face of great, great risk and threat and broke the cycle. They really deserve that, but the system was too corrupt to truly support this change. JYJ more than did their part to impact change. I just hope that they really get to promote freely. It’s been one hell of a ride. Even though the court failed to do you guys right, JYJ you are always the heroes in my heart.
I am not writing this right……I am just too upset and relieved at the same time. I hope the boys are at peace with this. I hope they truly get to fly…….
ahh you are right. Although I’m happy that JYJ is finally free but at the same time I pity them because JYJ deserve more than this.
I wished they could win the lawsuit, SM paid all JYJ’s lost for the whole 3 years and 4 months. ZOMG SM really have to pay gazzziillliionn money to them.
sighhh but I think this case being finally closed is already satisfying since we know how injustice this world is.
But I think the most happiest thing from this case is JYJ is now free and I do hope they really appear on music program and variety show. Pleaseee they deserve it more than anything.
I really hope JJ can appear on Running Man too. Can’t we do something like maybe make petition to SBS?
Your feelings are my feelings. I can’t feel the joy just yet.I feel like the boys got the short end of the stick. What a horrible court system. They won all court battles except the last big one but the court will not hand it to them like they were suppose to.
@loveunchanged ~ agree. It is horrible to have biz with Korea, which won’t happen in most other countries, especially countries under British common law.
This is TOO BIZZARE ><
@Emma Lin ~ me too very sad.
And the court should feel ashamed, they fail to extend the justice for the poor & deprived.
Instead, let cruel commercial reality erode away the victims’ determination. Bear in mind the SM bully NOT limited to Korea but in worldwide sense.
JYJ , sigh…so young & drink down the bitter cups those adults refuse to drink.
Besides salute, i have nothing can say now….
** somehow, JYJ is more tragic than Hang Geng
VERY VERY HAPPY for the boys… though i can’t help this little feeling of apprehension that all is not as well as they seem. Chalk it up to long-time experience of being subjected to underhanded tactics by the other side.
Nevertheless, the sun is shining a bit brighter today, isn’t it?
p.s. LOL at the provision of ‘no interference’ from both sides… when did JYJ do this?
Reblogged this on luminarytriad.
i’m in dreaming or what??? is this true ? Any statement from C-JES? ？？？still can’t believe it….. it’s really happen?
i’m happy, but i’m not relieve yet until i see the prove with my own eyes.. especially on SK’s broadcasts..
re posting a comment from allkpop:
Nate Headline: SM accepts that all contracts are terminated with effect from 2009.
Congratulations to JYJ on winning a battle that some thought they would never win. I know some will try hard to spin this. But, there is no spin, JYJ went up against the giants of the Korean entertainment industry and their army of lawyers, against all the different agencies and companies that didn’t want change. AND WON.
The writing was already on the wall, with JYJ winning all the different injunctions up to now, The courts however didn’t want to give a verdict, because Koreans love their Hallyu. With this agreement, and JYJ getting pretty much everything they asked for. There can be no argument that JYJ came out the winner. For 3 years and 4 months SME tried hard to squash them, make them an example, but they wouldn’t go away, instead getting more and more popular by the day.
Congratulations to all the JYJ fans and supporters. This is a victory to celebrate.

Congratulations… JYJ and fans…… let’s now focus on achievements..
@ai uta ~ thanks for posting !
I want someone helps to crave this important & correct messages on a marble rock,
and erected eternally in front of / opposite of SME main building.
ถึงแม้ว่าจะยินดีกับข่าวดีอันนี้ แต่..
แล้วความเสียหายทั้งทางจิตใจ และ กิจกรรมต่างๆ ของ JYJ ตลอด 3 ปีที่ผ่านมา ละคะ ใครจะรับผิดชอบ
แล้วทั้ง 3 จะได้กลับไปใช้ชื่อ ดงบังชินกิ อีกมั๊ย
ทั้ง 5 คนจะกลับมารวมตัวกันได้อีกมั๊ย
คำว่า “จะไม่รบกวนกิจกรรมซึ่งกันและกัน” ก็คือ ทั้ง JYJ และ HM ต้องแยกกันตลอดไปเหรอคะ
จริงๆ แล้ว รู้สึกเศร้าใจอยู่ลึกๆ เหมือนกันนะคะ ตลอด 3 ปีที่ผ่านมา ทั้ง 5 คน จิตใจย่ำแย่
รอยยิ้มไม่เหมือนเดิมเลย
อยากให้ทั้ง 5 คน มีรอยยิ้มที่สดใส เหมือนเมื่อก่อน
ขอรอยยิ้ม ที่ยิ้มทั้งตา และปากเหมือนเดิมกลับมาเถอะค่ะ
I have to go to work in half an hour and I know I’m gonna have this big ass smile on my face all day … will probably freak some people out but .. who cares .

#JYJIndependenceday
lol and just how was jyj interfering with sme’s activities??
hope this is legit…
will sme still be fined for their interference?
Finally!! Congratulations, JYJ and CJes!
SME, you better stick to your promise here! We’ll be watching you!
Hmm my other question is, will this also lead to an agreement between Avex too?!
I think so since Su was able to perform a couple of days ago in Japan.
But I thought that Japan performance had nothing to do with Avex? It was part of the FC Men game there
Yes, but he sang. Normally he won’t be able to do even that.
VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 YEAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG…IM CRYING RIGHT NOW!!!! HUHUHU….
finally…. TT_______TT
after 3 yrs it comes to an end… sobs
so happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
no more words that I can say…
hope the best for our beloved boys’ future….
FREEDOM!!!!!!
I am shedding happy tears! Freedom for JYJ!!! FINALLY!
To start this off, how about JYJ on Running man, then Junsu performing Tarantallegra on all music programs. No more interferance from SM! I hope SM keeps their word. I know JYJ has to compromise in a way… They should’ve won this instead of reaching mutual agreement… but I guess this is all for the best. No more legal issues.
If Junsu performs “Tarantallegra” on TV, South Korea will explode! I hope the TV stations are lining up to showcase JYJ on their stations! This calls for a celebration! SO happy for JYJ!
its quite weird to read this out of the blue! its like a big big struggle then all of a sudden, its gone poof! bet that’s why they said hints about 2013 being a very good year to come. wonder if they have been in talks with tv stations about actually getting to be on shows etc now and have some things planned for soon. we need a celebration and a big congrats card for them. man, please lets have them finally get some good things a going with appearances!!!
@koreamom
“we need a celebration and a big congrats card for them. man, please lets have them finally get some good things a going with appearances!!!”
Oh, yes, yes, YES!!
@lilivaiyu Awesome idea! We should also send a card also to their attorney and one to Cjes. Send a cake along with it. The card should say that saying that I read yesterday, something about JYJ’s fans are family to them and JYJ are family to JYJ fans. Family will always be there for them.
It seems a little surreal, out of the blue.
I’m crying….i’m totally CRYING……Thank you GOD…All these hardship for 3 yrs have paid….thank you thank you thank you….
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST NEWS EVER!!!!!
I am soooooooooo happy
finally it’s over
JYJ FIGHTING
GOSH!!! i’m at office and was giving out the test right now but i almost we can have jump when i saw the title article in JYJ3 site… and really in tears reading the article that i have to excused myself to the lavatory!! gosh.. so happy…
yes, i would also love if we can have the winning verdict, but since the judge seems so reluctant giving out the verdict eventho it was cleared how dirty SM’s act to JYJ while they were still in SM and also during the trials. so this one i’ll take it happily…
beside its still a winning to JYJ, since above all, what JYJ want is to be free of SM. and JYJ now won it. actually, all i’m seeing it, SM is lost, coz they agreed to ended the contract right on the day JYJ filed the lawsuit. and the ‘wont interfere’ things, was ofc anyone know that the one the only loss JYJ have was the money SM should pay to them, like the bonus for Mirotic sales and also the fee from it that SM proven havent paid to JYJ yet. but, well, we dont know what else SM n JYJ were having as an agreement. but all is matter that JYJ NOW IS FREE!!!
gosh i’m shaking while typed this..
and i do hope SM keep their promise, but i see this agreement as SM’s understanding they were the loss party, so if they still interfering with JYJ activities, i believe there were things in the agreement that could bite back SM. just like finally Tony and other JTL members can be in TV after SM’s told TV stations and radios to banned them, i hope soon we’ll see JYJ on TV.. esp RUnning Man, please!!!
gosh i feel like sending Cjes, JYJ and their lawyer a flower wreath!!! so happy… just need to wait for Cjes announement/statement. but it seems both Cjes n SM have made statement of this already. damn i cant open twitter right now!!!!
Congrats JYJ and Citizens of JYJ Republic!!!
admins, is this worthy of new banner? for JYJ Freedom at last? =D
@one_nee
“yes, i would also love if we can have the winning verdict, but since the judge seems so reluctant giving out the verdict eventho it was cleared how dirty SM’s act to JYJ while they were still in SM and also during the trials.”
Yes I agree, but the beauty of this settlement is that it’s OVER. No further appeals possible, no more court case. This is IT. The End. JYJ are free and even if they didn’t get a penny of back royalties or penalties (which I doubt, actually) it would be worth it because JYJ are ALIVE, baby, they are hot, people are dying to see them and they will be solid earners from now on if they are simply left to their own abilities, unobstructed.
Thank God for this HAPPY -FINAL – ENDING! FIGHTING, JYJ !!!!!!!!! What next, KBS ??????
WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THank you, GOD!!!!
finally!!!” it’ over!!!! congratulations JYJ i’m so happy for you guys!!!! Wish you all the best in the world ♥♥♥
Lets HUG and CRY together guys!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!! My tears kept falling down ;”””””’) I bet all of us are full tears of joy
im soooo happpyyyyyyyyyyy!
SM – down
Avex – you’re next, Japan get ready to welcome back JYJ!
finally ! happy for them ! hope they will be able to perform in korea ! hwaiting !
I can’t wait JYJ appear on TV!
me 2
Yeaaaayyy….. (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))… Thank God for make this happen. Thank you for listening our prayer … We always believe that “All beautiful in His time”..
For Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu : Congratulation for all of you.. Don’t forget to give thanks to “Daddy JC” who make this all happen.. JYJ, Fighting ..!! Gbu always.. °\(^▿^)/°
Well…
Congrats to JYJ , our lovely boys !
I am sooo happy for JYJ, after such a long battle…. but i am sad at the same time because nothing is being said about any compensation…… and scared too… all these while we know what kind of foul play SM and their cronies did. Until i see JYJ being broadcast in tv dancing and singing their epic song, being reported in all entertainment news, being invited in all kind of variety shows, being allowed to promote their drama or film… i would hold my breath and wait…
Omg, omo Dios mio gracias! I hope this is not a dream. I know that SM should have paid what is due to my boys because that nameless bastard only cares about money but is oka because karma is a bitch. But i’m so happy I could cry and i’m not the type of person that cries when I’m happy.
JYJ is making a smart decision again.I’m so happy to see them working together in the same path all the time.Freedom costs and they chose to be free,let’s cheer for them.Now they can compete with others and win.I have huge confidence on JYJ,they are going to fly higher from this moment on.
The news makes my day ! i want to sing and dance now .
yeeeeey finally
congratulation JYJ
dancing dancing dancing
i can’t oh i can’t describe this hapiness
^_______________^
I’m so happy for JYJ because they finally get the chance to show up in music shows and variety shows again. Jaejoong can finally go to Running Man as he wished on his last interview. Today is JYJ’s Independence Day for sure so let’s celebrate
I never lose my faith for them to get back together as five. But for now, I guess it’s the best reality and it’s more than enough for me. I’ve never expected to mush about how this case will end but it’s quite sattisfying. We will be able to see our boys stand on the stage again and enetertain us through variety shows!!! I’m so excited and I hope I can see them soon on stage
JYJ HWAITING!!!!!1
YES!! We need an ep tailored for our Ace, with Jaejoong PRONTO!! Just in time to plug Jackal is coming too! Running man PDs, can you hear us??
My day wasn’t going that great, then I came back to my desk and saw this news on twitter hehehe had to confirm it here straight away! WOOHOOOO *break out the champagne ppl*
I’m happy but will remain skeptical until i see them on an entertainment/variety/music show. period. but it seems like a good closure for the boys.
*hugs you all* JYJ independence day indeed!!! this is top news of the years!!!
OMG…this the best present birthday ever i had
i’m crying right now
just really happy..aaaaaaaaaaa!!!
JYJ is trending on the Phil!!!
Finally!!!!

p.s : today is my birthday. can I take this great news as my birthday gift? hehe
Reblogged this on JYJ FAN’ANTIC’ . The date to be rememberr 28th Nov 2012. JYJ Independence day …
OMG, i’m crying right now, i’m so happy <33 JYJ Independence day <3
Now please, JYJ in Running Man, that would be epic!!
JYJ FREE AT LAST! The price of that FREEDOM has been so high!
Yes, I admit I wanted monetary compensation, or to hear SME was wrong and JYJ was right from the court, some declaration of vindication. But after giving it some thought I’ve concluded that after 3 and half years this ruling gives them true LEGAL FREEDOM from SME.. that is the vindication they have gained here even if there is no monetary compensation.
SME may still lurk in the background keeping their media allies like dogs on leash, but they no longer have any LEGAL CLAIM on the LIVES or the CAREERS of these three men.
It may seem unfair that there was no compensation but.. if you were a SLAVE what would freedom from a malicious MASTER be worth to you? You could wait forever for him to pay you the wages he never gave you for the 10 years you worked for him and while you are waiting he falsely insinuates that you’re still his property.
Or you could say.. KEEP IT! YOU BASTARD I AM OUT OF HERE! Bottomline SME no longer has any legal claim on the lives or careers of JYJ! THAT IS OFFICIAL. SME can’t put any SPIN on that!
This ruling allows them to be totally emotionally free and fully creative as this no longer has to DOMINATE THEIR LIVES!
They can set a path that looks in one direction, and that is MOVING BOLDLY TOWARD THE FUTURE!
3 years and 4 months have passed to make me realize that SM not only tortured JYJ but made me SO VERY distrusting, near cynical. I wish I could celebrate with everyone but I will reserve my celebration after some action happens to show SM will fulfill their part of this bargain. They have not been blocking JYJ publicly in a way they can be punished for several years. They rely on others in media to do that. All I can see for sure is JYJ gave up being compensated for their hard work in DBSK.
I celebrated when SM was admonished to not interfere with JYJ a few years ago and now I just don’t trust them enough to celebrate again.
I only hope that SM’s situation has been damaged enough recently by their stock problems that they have a reason to want to stop the blocking. They won’t do it just because of a court ruling or because it is the right thing to do. They will only do it for self interest. That’s just who they are.
@Lisa ~ Agree, and i will celebrate when SM collapses into sand.
OMG, the lawsuit is finally OVER!!! This news is a complete surprise. JYJ have earned their freedom. All the hardship they have suffered during the last 3 years has been paid off. Just the fact that JYJ can get their contracts with SM terminated and get SM to make a written agreement not to interfere with their future activities has already indicated that JYJ are the winners of this case. This comes off as a compromise on both parties because we all know the court will never give a verdict in fear of being in bad terms with big corporations although JYJ had won all the injunctions. JYJ would have never seen the end of this lawsuit. Even though JYJ may not get back all the royalties, money owed to them, or compensation from SM, monetary benefit is not the biggest problem. Our boys have proven just how well they can make money. They’re now free artists, there is no lawsuit holding them back. Plus with that written agreement with SM, broadcast stations now totally have no reason not to let JYJ appear on TV shows. In light of this good news, I’d like to be optimistic that finally JYJ will be able to go on music programs or variety shows, and will face no issue finding concert venues and releasing albums. I guess their album comeback next year will be epic. Let’s celebrate JYJ’s Independence Day.
Whoa, the 3rd article, WTF? Is it SM’s last attempt to bite JYJ publicly? “to avoid bringing additional harm to U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, who are active as TVXQ (DBSK), and to avoid making any more unneeded issues.” – excuse them but what harm have Yunho and Changmin gone through? As far as I know they keep releasing albums, go on tour, and are happily promoting. The lawsuit has got nothing to do with those two and only JYJ have been suffering due to all the cock-blocking and under-handed collusion of SM and its minions. “SM Entertainment has decided that there is no need for the company to continue to manage the three” – dang, took these idiots 3 years to wake up from this dream, LOL. JYJ have been with CJES for 2 years so SM needs to back off and stops thinking they still have some sort of control over our boys’ lives and careers.
Angie,
Losers have to spin, and spin first. They have nothing else to go on. At no point in time should anyone EVER be confused that SME operates under a code of ethics. They don’t even know how to spell the word. It they did, they would have never put that contract under the noses of the guys and their parents with no legal representation. Nor would they have fleeced them, and bled them dry all these years. Statements like these from SM are par for the course and nothing more/less can be expected from them. Not surprised in the least.
But none of that matters to me anymore. JYJ are FREE MEN!!!
All I can say is “Free at last, thank God JYJ are free at last…..AWESOME!” So happy for them!!!!!
My first reaction was of course – what about compensation? But when everything settled. It’s all good. Money – JYJ are good with the money they make with their hard work. I think during the start, when everything else was still wobbly, our boys were probably after what was due them. Now, with all the blessings, I believe that they were able to let go of such. Now, our boys have the distinction of the ones “WHO STOOD THEIR GROUND AGAINST SM AND SUCCEEDED IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.”
I just hope that it will hold true, that they will have the entertainment freedom due them.
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! my christmas present came early this year!!!
To all the haters that says jyj is gteedy…ur argument is invalid!yahhhhhhhhhh….i screamed my tears out….so happy for the boys…finally..running man!!plz take our boys
@shayra ~ agree! on this case JYJ AT LEAST give up their right for 96 years of Obama’s annual income. Not included medical and legal expenses. ( for all the mental breakdown ,web bullying, isolation etc….
( just saying)
Congratulations for JYJ and everyone. Yes, the battle is still ahead and we have to keep supporting JYJ. But for now, let’s just be happy and grateful. I hope someone make something special.
I am very happy right now. I hope that everyone accepts this outcome. No more excuses SBS, KBS, and MBC. I hope to see the guys on shows now.
Finally the day we’ve all been waiting for! A new beginning has just started for JYJ. Let’s continue to stand by them. Right now i’m waiting for CJES to issue a statement on this, and also for Junsu’s tweet!
YES!!!!! Praise Jesus!!!! Go JYJ! That’s what happens when you really keep the faith!!
I ought to be happy… I should be happy…. I need to be happy…. I want to be happy for JYJ. But for so many many reasons I have concerns and worries. JYJ never disturbed others, never made unreasonable issues, never dealt with untruths. I pray that our boys are all right with this big decision. I pray that JYJ will never never have to go through this hurt again. I pray to the heavens above true happiness for them but most of all, PEACE in their hearts and minds. I trust their decision. I trust them and love them unconditionally.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M CRYING! Finally, it’s over!!! What a beautiful news… I just want to hug random people who’ll pass by here! haha JYJ! wish you all the best! Congatulations ^^
lets celebrate the big party 4 JYJ! Guys Congrats
i’m still shaking from reading the news. soooo happy that i almost cry and clumsily dial my sister’s number to share this joyful tiding. finally the day we’ve been waiting for has arrived! despite my concern on the money compensation and on whether SM will keep its promise to stay away from JYJ’s future activities, i would still wanna celebrate #JYJIndependenceDay wholeheartedly. Our boys deserve it and so do we.
So let’s hold our hands together and celebrate it, JYJ family!
Lol at SM’s reason for ending the dispute! You mean it took you 3 yrs 4 mths to finally realise that they are not coming back?
Just a reminder, we will have to stay on our toes. Let nothing rest. Keep the names of these guys prominent somewhere in case they need some reminders.

[the Reactions of Chief Directors and other directors at the entertainment part in the Broadcasting Company...-about end of the ruling and the future]
KBS:
(Chon Jinkook-Chief Director)
I heard the news this afternoon..
I think we can tell about our position after the taking and arranging the situation..
As the main reason was ruling..
So, in my opinion, there’s no reason to block their appearances on our programs if it is clearly solved..
MBC:
(Won Mansik-Chief Director)
Although the ruling was over.. I think their appearances need the time..
(and other officer said…)
We have no discussion about their appearances on our programs(including our music programs and entertainment programs) until now..
I think the whole entertainment part should think about this for now..
SBS:
(Park Seungmin-SBS ingigayo PD) It’s the problem of the whole entertainment part.. We still have no discussion about this.. So I have no words about this… http://tl.gd/k5kd3k · Reply
Report post (?)
@butterfliesarefree2 ~ thanks for your post and yes, the rocks are not loosening at all.
Especially the DAMN KBS & SBS, they need meeting discussion with SME that is .
They now helping promote HM new songs and all SM stuff, will they help even promote Junsu in Orchestra next month end ? I bet no.
@glacial.music
I’m sure the idea they must now eat a piece of humble crow is sticking in their craws right about now. But that won’t be anywhere near as distasteful as the reaction they will recieve from the fans if there is no follow through.
I mentioned this to someone else…it’s almost like a game of chicken to see who will be the first one to cross the line. They obviously will nee to hear the exact specifics from SM first. I’m willing to bet the investors handed SM it’s head on a silver platter for the recent crash. Start paying attention to the artists on your roster instead of the ones no longer there, and costing you a pretty picture. Hence, the spin to try and make HoMin out to be victims of the entire process. Deflection. The best defense, is an offense.
But hey, it’s all good. Time is still on JYJ’s side. I’m guessing these cretins are not use to being on the receiving end. Well, now it’s their turn.
@BAF
All that may be, the entertainment execs are still trying to gauge their position and come up with a plausible position to take, but any way you slice it this is a major milestone. Now the scales really have shifted in JYJ’s favor. If they really forgave SM’s debt to them, then they will be wanting something in return for all of that money. SM has got to loosen the stranglehold on the media now.
I ´ve never seen it comming this fast. Congratulation JYJ! You have reached the maximum possible. Even through I ´m unsure how much SME will honour their promise not to interefere with their activities, at least the court battle is over. I have a huge smile on my face, what a wonderful way how to start a new day.
This is a best Christmas present ever to the boys! God always be with them! What else can we say…. congrats. boys, God given you 3 the most sincere heart that everyone wish for. Bless JYJ and waiting to see them in variety show….. RUNNING MAN, WIN WIN, HAPPY TOGETHER and many more!!!!
Reblogged this on Parisian's Paradise.
lol SM… who you say doing harm to your TVXQ?
isn’t it YOU, YOURSELVES and YOUR so called “family”?!
duh!
It was long overdue. I wish and hope that their next album sells at least one million copies. I mean they have the fans for it; that’s how you show your market strength.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.. FINALLY JYJ INDEPENDENCE DAY. I’m so happy for them and also all jyj’s fans. I want to cry now. Yeay now we may have a chance to see JYJ in running man. Jae and jihyo can promote their movie together. Please make it happen
“You can’t trust anything until you see what happens. They’re not free until they can finally perform on music programs and promote as they wish. You have to admit that SM has been pulling strings for quite some time.”
As a JYJ fan, this is one of the BEST days of my life.
Really, really can’t stop smiling now ^___^
But I agree with the opinion above, I will wait until I can finally watch Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong appearance in major music & variety show. That day, I will scream like a crazy girl
woke up to the news … BEST BEST BEST BEST MORNING EVEEEEEEER
I was crying as soon as I knew
oh how I was wished to see them having their comeback stage or guesting on running man or hosting a show .. i hope we can see all of them happening and more
the first thing I want to see though is Junsu on immortal song 2
“The three (JYJ) have confirmed that they are not willing to be active any longer as TVXQ, and so SM Entertainment has decided that there is no need for the company to continue to manage the three.”
OMFG!!!!! THOSE IDIOTS IN SM NEEDED THREE F@CKING YEARS TO REALISE THIS???????????
Reblogged this on Just Luluk and commented:
Alhamdulillah…akhirnya selesai juga…….
*hug Junsu, Yoochun Jaejoong
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY JAejoong Yoochun JUnsu!!!! Their FREEDOM is more important and any monetary compensation. They can gain the money they’ve lost cause their hardworking people,NEXT JAPAN>> JYJ fighting!!.
I am so happy right now that I am actually screaming and jumping up and down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to celebrate this win even though I am skeptical about SM keeping their promise to not interfer with JYJ activities. I do hope to see them on tv!!! To me yes I would of loved for them to have received the money they deserved to get. I say this assuming that JYJ is not going to receive the money. However, I feel what is the number one thing that is way more important is they are legally free from SM!!!!!!!!!!! Yes if they did not get the money that is not fair. But in the end if I was in their shoes at this point in their lives my legal freedom from SM would be way more important to me. They have been able to have a great career and make money even with the ban. So they are capable of continuing to make a lot more money for themselves. JYJ winning reminds me of the Tina Turner movie. If I remember correctly she walked away from everything to get out of the marriage. She only wanted to keep her name. Boy did it pay off for her. Sometimes in life you have to give up something important in order to get something even more important.
Thank GOD JYJ is free at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this really happening, is this really real, like REEEAAAALLYYYYY happening… O_O
I’m so shocked right now that the end came finally… now I keep hoping to see them on broadcasting show soon \(^_^)/ *goosebumps all over my body and teary-eyed*
So happy for our JYJ boys….oh my T^T they are free **やった**
Hello Everybody ! Happy JYJ Day ! The whole system is jammed with Good News and Well Wishes for JYJ ! All is said and wished by All the JYJers! So i will just make it short and Wish JaeJoong, YuChun and JunSu All the Best from now onwards. Let’s not think of the past happenings but look forward to all the good and best things for our Lovely Boys ! Go for it, JYJ ! FIGHTINGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!! Love You All !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so happy that the lawsuit is finally over.
It’s taken far too long! But somehow a part of me will only really believe that it’s over when we finally see JYJ performing on variety shows and music programs.
Comment from another site:
“Some of you may not know, but those who follow Korean news, probably heard about SM’s stock falling significantly in value a few weeks back. The crash was so huge, with people trying to sell back their SM stock at such a rapid rate, the Korean Stock Exchange had to pull an emergency stop, to keep the crash from worsening. Since, then the stock still hasn’t recovered. When it happened, SM blamed TVXQ for their losses, they even went as far as to release a statement saying the profits from the Japanese concerts were not as high as they expected.
You think when that happened, all those stock holders, especially those who tied their pension to SM stock, because of the so called Hallyu Wave were happy? They probably started putting pressure on SME to end the lawsuit and end it now. For 3+ years JYJ have been asking to see the accounting records of their time in TVXQ, to see how profits mysteriously turned into expenses. Time and time again, SM asked for a continuance, or would bring the wrong person or wrong document to court.
Considering, their shady accounting practices, and falling stock, their accountants and lawyers, probably told them, we are going to lose even more, if we continue. JYJ already won the lawsuit to invalidate the contract in 2009, they won the lawsuit to continue their activities in 2010, the remaining lawsuit was for how much compensation SM owed JYJ. JYJ showed the confidence they have in their abilities to earn on their own, by walking away from those millions. No one can say JYJ took money from SM, or is responsible for SM’s woes and financial troubles.
The funny thing is, SM must think we are all stupid, because they are trying to spin their latest loss (btw, if you would like an interesting read, search “SM’s history of losing” on Google and read about all the different lawsuits SME has lost throughout the years), saying they agreed to walk away with their tail in between their legs, because they wanted to protect Homin. Right, SM, *sarcasm* if they felt that way, why not produce the documents and get the court verdict, say 3 years ago, 2 years ago, heck even a few months ago. At the end of the day, it was all about money for them. When karma came back to bite them, for all the horrible things they did to JYJ for the last 3+ years, they knew it was time to call it quits.
Now we wait and watch, lets see if SM holds it end of the bargain and no longer interferes with JYJ. Cause, if they don’t, I hope fans will continue to hold them accountable.”
SME is all about SPIN…. So here is another translation and in this translation.. we see the SME SPIN MACHINE in full force.
According to SME it’s taken 3.5 years for them to “understand” that JYJ did not want to perform as TVXQ? Yet that issue was resolved in 2009. Their ludicrous response negates the fact that the core issue was unfair compensation. NOW they go on to say they (SME) walked away to “protect” Homin from further damage. This kind of spin is for fools who don’t know the truth, or the history and those who will never take the time to read for themselves to figure the real story… that’s who this SPIN is directed towards and SME knows well that there are LEGIONS of SHEEP that will swallow this.
Here is the full translation:
_______________________________________________
The legal dispute between SM Entertainment and JYJ (Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun) has finally come to an end through an agreement after three years and four months.
According to judicial circles, SM Entertainment and the three members of JYJ came to an agreement on the 28th to settle the termination date of any and all contracts between the two parties as the 31st of July, 2009, the date that JYJ filed their injunction of nullification. Also, it has been found that they have decided to drop all related lawsuits and have signed an agreement stating that they will not interfere with any activities that the other party pursues.
SM Entertainment said, “The trio stated that they have no intention of performing as members of the group ‘TVXQ’, so SM has come to the decision that we no longer have a reason to be in charge of management for the trio. We have come to a mutual agreement to not interfere with the other party’s activities as our paths will not cross in the future, and the lawsuit has come to an end through this agreement. Also, we have come to the decision that the best course of action was to end this lawsuit to ensure that there will be no more additional damages or unnecessary issues that arise because of the lawsuit that may harm U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin, who are currently active as ‘TVXQ’.”
CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We believed that this was a battle that had already been won three years ago when the courts accepted our injunction. To be honest, we don’t believe that there will be much change to JYJ’s activities after the verdict because the interference of JYJ’s activities isn’t a legal issue, but a battle between David and Goliath.” He also added, “We are currently walking down a path that only JYJ could take, and we will continue to pursue our own activities, as planned,” and “We hope that the success of this agreement will rectify the various limitations placed upon JYJ that used the lawsuit as an excuse, and we would like to once more sincerely thank the domestic and international fans who have given JYJ their unwavering support from the start.”

Clap clap clap well said
Everyone knows the truth,
I think behind closed doors jyj got the money maybe not the amount they asked for but some of it
But this is something sm doesnt want the world to know that they had pay jyj
The ‘false’ report they released for 2nd quarter and ‘blame game’ were decoys for ‘under the table’ profit transactions to SM artiste. Otherwise we will be hearing more lawsuits against it. Same trick different ways, that was how SM minimised monetary losses in past lawsuits.
Three fallacies were driven across the media:
1. … interfere with each other’s activities ( analysis: to depict a battle instead of an attack)
2. … avoid bringing additional harm to Yunho & Changmin (analysis: to portray HoMin as victims)
3. KBS’s stance on casting JYJ … depending on the results of the lawsuit (possibility: status quo)
I would love to see full media coverage on this issue to generate public support for their appearance on broadcast.
Now, it’s time to celebrate with a new album release! Yipee!!!!
@lisan
Thank you. THIS! is music to my ears.
This is what I thought happened and predicted that SME will fall soon in my earlier comment 2 weeks ago. Serve them right on their evil deeds.As I mentioned, God has alway been protecting JYJ and guiding them in the right path. Our boys have achieved tremendous success this year in their individual activities in dramas, musical and singing despite the ban and hardship they endured for the past 3 years plus. Congratulations and well done dear Chunnie, JJ and Junsu. Praise The Lord for this day and GOD blessed JYJ for their continuous journey to higher ground. Always Keep The Faith!
This is what I expected that …both JYJ and SM have to drop the lawsuit. I will wait until I can see our boys in TV or on stages or some shows first.
Now wishing the Avex case can be settled too.
So 28 nov is our independent day??
Well.. I can’t take easy breath yet before I see them on the show or being banned everywhere again.. I can only pray for the best..
Congratulation oppaaaa
you’ve suffered for too long T~T
I mean “not being banned”
I was complaining about how the Internet isn’t working to my grandma when my aunt called from work saying that the case is over n done with. I was so excited n I kept asking her if it’s real! There is no one else to thank but god for finally allowing JYJ freedom! JYJ hwaiting! Kim Jaejoong hwaiting! Park Yoochun hwaiting! N I’m so not forgetting u, Kim Junsu hwaiting!!!
CJes said they won the case so it means SM finally vowed to the Terms of Settlement drawn by JYJ party. maybe JYJ side lower a bit their payback demands but then SM still have to pay their dues. JYJ legal team will never put them in a dissadvantage. they settle the case does not mean sm doesn’t need to pay JYJ.
@blueazzure
I tend to agree with you. I feel there was an undisclosed settlement as well. My feeling is that the larger it was the more stringently SM would have wanted to keep it completely out of the public record and I mean not even a hint of vague reference to it.
This is the best news for me….I’m really glad to hear this…
Congratulation to JYJ……..I imagine their smile…….^O^

Thanks it’s over now
I am sure SM are afraid to show JYJ their accounting record, else HOMIN and other SM artistes might decide to leave SM as well!!!
JYJ JYJ JYJ JYJ I´m so happy! JYJ Family today is a day to remember! #JYJIndependenceDay
Greetings my dear sisters and brothers? XD
Let´s celebrate it!
Reblogged this on murasaki 紫 and commented:
At last!!! The road is tough but you have us!
yea..really hope to see u guys in variety show..
Finally,but i still think SM will hinder them to appear on tv in Korea..not openly but in the shadows they will use the power they have
so when i see JYJ on tv…then i will belive its over
happy for JYJ … but a bit sad as they will not come back as the five TVXQ … as their fan for years, i feel sad…oh well~ life has to move on without holding back..anyways!! JYJ fighting!!! proud of u guys of being so strong through out the years…now we all can watch you on TV !!!!!!!!! especially in any variety shows…i feel like crying now T-T
Can someone clarify something, I just want to make sure I am clear on everything. When JYJ filed an injunction against SM in 2009 and won that allowed them to continue to work but only under the name JYJ correct? However, that did not release them from their contract with SM correct? This ruling now is the one that has legally released them from their contract, thus giving them their legal freedom correct?
Yes, correct on all points.
@butterfliesarefree2 thank you for your response!!!!!!!!!!
@flower
The court’s earlier ruling was only temporary, so JYJ could continue to work pending a final verdict or outcome of the trial, which has now happened. I guess SM’s position was that they refused to acknowledge this ruling and still took the position that JYJ was not in fact free of their contractual obligations. They then convinced the “music industry leaders” to band together to ban them via KEPA and the KFPCAI (which I still maintain doesn’t actually exist.) So it will be interesting to see what these “leaders” have to say once they’ve had a chance to get their stories straight.
@lilibaiyu thank you for your response! So the earlier court ruling was that JYJ contract when in the group was not a valid contract. But this ruling was only a temporary one but it allowed them to continue their activities/work under the name JYJ correct? This court ruling was the final verdict that released them out their contract for good correct? Also, they had a lawsuit to try to collect compensation for all the money they were not paid while in the group correct? At this point we do not know if they received any money because they said they dropped the lawsuit correct?
@flower
“At this point we do not know if they received any money because they said they dropped the lawsuit correct?”
No we do not and we will not know the exact terms of the settlement. This is an agreement point I feel sure that SM insisted upon.
@lilibaiyu Ok I bet SM did insist on that information not being released. Well in the end the most important thing is that they are legally free from the evil monster!!!!!!
Somebody pinch me to see if I’m not dreaming, finally ended
i think it just the evil sm’s scheme to hold as long as they can the lawsuit, so that our boys have little time to be “free” in the broadcasting world, regardless their military duty time approaching…..poor jyj……..(sigh)….but we will always support our beloved jyj no matter what…..keep on fighting guys!
DAEBAK!!! DAEBAK++++++++++
Victory!!!… and freedom!!!
A huge rock off their shoulders… I can only imagine how they are feeling.
Yey for them! Now, move on, and move up… even higher!
Hurrah! Subarashi! SME thank you- please change the color of your halo and do what is right. For now, the Japan legal suit issues should also be resolved. It seems that Christmas will be celebrated with JYJ on S Korea broadcast-JYJ Christmas special perhaps, and the new JYJ and Jaejoong album be sooner released. Grant Jaejoong’s wish to be in the Running man at the very least. I still pray for JYJ being invited to international shows, example Ellen DeGeneres shows etc.
Congrats for both of them, the long battle is over and they finish it peacefully, which is I think the best solution for both of them.
OMG!!!! GOSH!! THIS!!! THIS IS IT!! JYJ!! CITIZENS OF JYJ REPUBLIC!! WE ARE FREE!! however, we must still be cautious.. >.<.. GOD! THANK YOU! THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! WE LOVE YOU!
after a very exhausting day, all the stress just vanished into thin air.. T^T thank you! this made my day!
_JYJLIVES!
really??? aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh LOVE IT!!!
I’m very happy for JYJ but I also share their misgivings about this. CEO Baek ChangJu hit the nail on the head. SME has no word and they can write all they want on a piece of paper, doesn’t mean they’ll actually honor it.
Speaking of SME….Is SME a piece of shit or is SME a piece of shit?!!
The nerve!!!! They were getting their asses handed to them in court. They lost the lawsuit over the validity of the contract, they also claimed that JYJ were breaking the law by having a double contract, alleging that CJeS was their management company even though JYJ never signed a contract with CJeS and it was them hiring CJes not the other way around. It obviously turned out to be a bunch of bullshit lies. They were ordered to not interfere with JYJ’s activities, then they were caught doing just that and fined by the FTC and now all that was left was to determine how much money they owed JYJ and they have the gall to claim that they ended the lawsuit “early” because they didn’t want to cause Changmin and Yunho any harm?!!!!!
LOL! If Homin were of any concern to SME then they would have handed in all necessary documents to the courts since the beginning instead of acting like clowns and evading all inquiries into their finances. Seriously what fucking liars!!!!! And what pisses me off is that many morons are going to believe this crap.
i’m crying right now…cried of happiness… i hope that company dont ever bother our boys again… i’m so happy….
*prepare for jaejoong oppa appear on running man… please please please… hehe
*virtual HUGs ^^
oh, just read the updated article. so SM made it look like they were the one gracious enough to let JYJ go because JYJ have confirmed they didnt want to be part of TVXQ?
1. They just want to out from YOU, SM. they just dont want to be part of YOU. i believe that time, they would love to be still as TVXQ if just HoMin also left with them, just like Shinhwa. just too bad HoMin changed their mind n decided to stay in SM. and JYJ didnot want to be part of you.
2. they have been confirmed their stand that they didnt want to come back since July 2009. it was YOU who want to keep them. it was you who cant face the reality that these 3 boys didnt want to have any connection with you again.
3. just please stop using other, or in this matter HoMin, to face your face.
4. stop trying to make it look like you didnt lose. during the trial it was so cleared who gonna won the case, esp since JYJ have won twice agains you. and it was YOU who asked for arbitration aka negotiation to reached agreement outside the court few days before the verdict date. JYJ keep refusing. it was so clear that YOU afraid you would also lose this case.
5. JYJ’s lawsuit were about they want to be out n free from your contract. and later for you to stop interfering with their activities. and what you want is for them to stay in SM according to your ridicolous 13+2 years contract. and guess what, the result now are JYJ free from their contract with you per July 31st, 2009 – the exact date when JYJ filed for their lawsuit. and the other also for ‘not interfering each other activities’. these 2 things were asked by JYJ. and they got those. they got what their lawsuit were for. while you didnt got anything from you injuction or claimed of them to fulflled the contract. so, please, tell me, who is the winner and who is the one that backed out from this? they got what they want, you get nothing. its clear that YOU, SM just a loser who isnt man enough to admit defeat.
and gosh, i cant believe so many people believing SM words that they just let JYJ go for HoMin’s behalf and made it look like it was dispute between JYJ vs HoMin/TVXQ2. no, SM didnt ‘let go’ JYJ. it just SM being chicken and understanding that they are losing the case. and i guess after 2 loses, they dont want to make it they got triple crown as loser.coz with all the evidences and SM failure to submitted their accounting report and also their contracts with JYJ, it was so cleared that SM is gonna lose. maybe that was why the judge so reluctant to gave out the verdict. coz he afraid the verdict will changed lots of things. while in reality by now so many celebs have won their lawsuit against their company regarding contract. like Ivy n Park Jung Min. it just in this case it was BIG because SM involvement.
but anyway, they can cried out as many as wolf as they want, all i care is that JYJ now FREE. gosh, still so surreal to think that finally JYJ have won and free. yes, they won. coz they want to out, and now they officially n legally out. and the best part, SM admitted it (with their own twisted statement, but at least they said it themselves JYJ contract has ended).
Do I smell a new album release soon!?
