JYJ3′s Note: This is how a Japanese tabloid is reporting JYJ and SM settlement agreement and the future JYJ’s activities in Japan. It’s not the first time these tabloids share bad press about JYJ
Please remind that we have a schedule of Avex and C-JeS Entertainment Court Judgement on January 18th, Link
To the people that follow the Japanese Lawsuit, AVEX have pointed the exclusive contract of SM and JYJ as a reason why JYJ is unable to hold activities in Japan, but with the recent news of SM releasing JYJ of any exclusive contract, we think AVEX is running out of arguments to defend their position. Hopefully things will improve in Japan despite what it says on this article.
On 28th Nov, the 3 members of Korean Idol Group JYJ and its former agency SM Entertainment (“SM”) reached court settlement in Korea on the dispute of exclusive agency contracts.
Jaejoong (26), Yuchun (26) and Junsu, 3 former members of Korean group Tohoshinki, applied for temporary injunction in July 2009 on their exclusive agency contracts based on the reasons that their 14-year contract was too long and there was unfair royalty distribution.
In addition, in April 2010, the 3 members sign-on a newly setup agency and formed JYJ. This means wishes of fans for the “5 to re-group” again became in vain, and the group split up to become Tohoshinki with Yunho (26) and Changmin (24), and JYJ.
It’s been 3 years 4 months after the temporary injunction which started it all. With the court settlement this time, all law suits between SM and JYJ had been withdrawn, and both parties signed an agreement to “not interfere with each other’s activities”.
A Korean entertainment industry person talks about the future JYJ.
[Firstly, until now every media in Korea had shut off JYJ based on the “double contracts issue with SM”, leading to the members unwilling ventures into individual acting activities like drama and musical. The court settlement this time signals a complete separation between SM and JYJ, and although Junsu has dreamed of standing on stage as Tohoshinki again, the possibility of 5 members grouping-up again disappeared. However from now, the 3 members JYJ will be able to hold concert activities and TV appearances as JYJ. Of course, it will also be possible to release new songs]
If this is true, their activities in Japan will be something to look forward to. However, it’s a bit complicated.
[Now, JYJ has an ongoing dispute on contracts in Japan. Before this is settled, their activities in Japan will be impossible……] says someone in the music industry,
In actual fact, events planned by JYJ last year in Japan faced cancellations right before the scheduled dates continuously. The court decision will be out in January next year, but there is high possibility for an appeal. The trial looks likely to drag on. It may not be possible for JYJ to hold activities in Japan for the next few years until this is settled.

Oh, poor Japanese fans. But don’t worry, JYJ will always find a way *continues praying for the best*
When i used to live in the Philippines, my parents told me to never believe what i read in tabloid newspapers as they’re all crap. I feel sad for the Japanese fans to have read those bullcrap. It gets better everyday, JYJ will stay strong we all know that. So let’s all be positive!
Im sure the truth always in winning side! As long what jyj do is right then we dont need to worry or fear
“It may not be possible for JYJ to hold activities in Japan for the next few years until this is settled.” — You’ve got to be freaking kidding me! Avex has NO reason whatsoever to cockblock them anymore…They can’t even use the SM case as evidence. They’ve got an Avex artist who’s been doing drugs/marijuana….But they do nothing about that….Instead they just affiliate JYJ with the mafia/yakuza to many of the public in Japan. =_= I seriously wish for JYJ to sing in Japanese SFM + to see them in Dome concerts again. Their “The…” is still my favorite album.
Me tooooo!!! “The…” is my all time favorite album.. and their Tokyo Dome was my fav concert!! T^T
Me 3
Tokyo Dome and ‘The….’ is my favorite album and the most memorable concert,… still giving me goosebumps whenever I llistened/watched the videos……..
BS!!!
the poor japanese fans. hopefully jyj wins this lawsuit and resume full blown activities in japan again. jyj fighting!!!
too much power is given to these companies and because of that they act like they’re above the law .
First: “…leading to the members unwilling ventures into individual acting activities like drama and musical..”
–> Nope. Yoochun and Jaejoong have been enjoying acting and are doing very well with Jae even in the movies. So is Junsu who is sweeping the musical scene. Unwilling? Unlikely.
Next: “…although Junsu has dreamed of standing on stage as Tohoshinki again, the possibility of 5 members grouping-up again disappeared…”
–> Again, taking comments out of context. Pls refer to the actual interview here in JYJ3 about what Su actually said with regards to being “ONE” again. = =
–> But yes, agree that the possibility of them getting back together is none, nil, zero.
With the lawsuit against ShittyMonster out of the way, Avex-idiot really doesnt have a lot of chips to bargain now.
They had always taken the contract with ShittyMonster and the mafia thingy as excuses to block JYJ but their grounds are shaking.
Let’s see how long they can do this when it’s also obvious that like their ‘buddy’, the shittymonster, they are taking a direct road downwards.
Anyway, this reporter really should do more homework than this.
In case I got people calling me optimistic, I just wanna say,

Couldn’t agree with you more, my ninja sister.
Big hug to my Big Sis^^
And one coming back at you, after yours!
No worries, I know our Lord will pave the way for our JYJ boys for Japan . AVEX will settle the lawsuit very soon just like SME with JYJ as they do not have much to block them now. So just wait a little longer and watch what will happen. I believed strongly 2013 will be a great year for JYJ and they will be free from all lawsuits. Always Keep The Faith!
this is never ending
We need to pray together for JYJ !

I’m seeing things a bit differently than you but I agree that without actions you can’t expect results.
I mean no disrespect to the religious people who visit this site. Praying is a form of keeping important people and things in one’s thoughts and connecting to God but I am of the belief that action combined with faith (in the case of some, prayer) is far more helpful than just prayer and good thoughts.
I fully agree with you that actions are absolutely necessary but you may wanna be more tactful when commenting instead of bluntly calling names, Ms Anonymous.
Further, I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with the JYJ fandom but there are many things that the JYJ fans did do, so more than a “crippled fandom” as you call it, we are doing our best to support and fight for JYJ.
@Anonymous
I don’t know what’s up with you that you sound too BITTER , that you even attack a humble comment of a call TO PRAY. If one calls for a prayer it doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll just sit and pray 24/7.
“Goodbye crippled fandome. you can help JYJ if you wanted to.”
Goodbye.
I or my friends have no obligation to report to you what we’ve been doing to help JYJ .
Ms. Anonymous..you are seriously.. need to work on your tact.. i am trying to get you.. but you sound passive-aggresively attacking people in this fandom..i hope i am wrong.. am not sure what have you done for JYJ to question what others have done,, how did you know that a call to pray did not resulted to action as well.. this JYJ fandom has been practically the busiest in pushing to help JYJ appear in broadcast and fight for their rights.. while some decide to be mum about it.. anyways.. you sounded like not much updated on what JYJ fandom has been doing by the words you just said.. but well thank you for your little post-contribution i guess.. goodbye,,
Sorry if i sounded offensive which i didnt mean to..
I might be reading you wrong so I apologize early on if i did..
but i appreciate your good intentions..to call for action.. peace..

Warned!
We try to respect your opinion as fan, but please moderate yourself.
There are ways to express without sound offensive.
@Anonymous makes me wonder.. if you knew all along about freemuse thing you’ve been pushing and it seems you know it well for some time now.. to whom (aside from JYJ3) have you told this? or have you coordinated this? have you coordinated with fangroups to inform them first without the mocking tone? (the tact is important because you talk to people of various culture .. you have to respect at least the way people communicate for them to listen to you) .. that’s what a concern JYJ fan would have done.. its not purely your attitude that we are targeting.. its the fact that you are accusing the fandom of not doing what you expect them to do and thinking that supporting JYJ in the ways they know is subject to judgement.. anyways..will send your suggestion to this group working to get JYJ on public broadcast.. they are called StandUpforJYJ and see what can be done. Piece of advise.. even how good your intention is if you dont communicate it properly no one would be able to hear.. if its normal for your language to be like that.. just think that not everyone will get your message because not everyone share the same culture as you. Working for a cause.. if your intention is to make a change and convincing people to join you starts at being polite..and please if you can try avoid judging a person’s love and support just because they dont do what you think they should be doing please do that it will be for your betterment.. We all love JYJ and wants the best for them..you are offering an option to help them which is good but calling people names or accusing people is not good because if i do that to you i would start to question.. what have you been doing too.. and its not healthy for a fandom to be doing that..
Reblogged this on JYJ hyugeso.
everything’s gonna be alright…now worries…
*no worries
As a news site, if you want credibility, you’d better quote someone with an actual name and position you know? Not just a nameless, faceless “Korean entertainment industry person” who thinks they can talk about the future of JYJ.
“Firstly, until now every media in Korea had shut off JYJ based on the “double contracts issue with SM”, leading to the members unwilling ventures into individual acting activities like drama and musical.” – Wrong. JYJ has never had a double contracts issue with SM. JYJ’s contract with CJES is legal and SM couldn’t anything about it. TV stations only use the lawsuit as a lame excuse to block JYJ. The members have done what they want to do as all-round artists. Looking at their achievements and reading their interviews, it’s ridiculous to even think they’re unwilling.
“although Junsu has dreamed of standing on stage as Tohoshinki again” – urgh, don’t twist his words and what he meant. Junsu only gave a diplomatic answer to that particular question.
Any dispute will come to an end eventually. Nothing is impossible, JYJ have proven that much. We’ll see what is going on in court in Jan, but Avex doesn’t seem to have many things to use against JYJ in the attempt to hinder their activities in Japan.
Tired of this but I still have my hopes up…what else I can do really?
Here we go again when will this end???
don’t they think their people in Japan is spending way more than they supposed to? It would be easier to let go of the ban & let the fans see them in “Japan,” rather than catch a plane every time to a JYJ event “overseas,” it be in South Korea or China…it seems AVEX is only thinking about themselves & not the effects on their own Japanese people (fans of JYJ). They love JYJ (even I understand why they go to lengths to see JYJ), but the inconvenience should be not overlooked by AVEX…just food for thought.
I don’t think Avex cares for anybody but his bank account.
true.
JYJ are always strong
keep goning forward
JYJ fighting <3
I’m surprised that they managed to sound somewhat civil even if a good deal of this information is bullshit.
I’ll take the admins’ advice and reserve judgment until the court reaches a decision.
I am not too familiar with the Japanese lawsuit but it appears that the leg the avex is depending on ( the exclusivity contract of JYJ to SM) no longer exists so the decision of the court this January will be moot and academic in favor of JYJ except if there are other principal issues involve. But for me the Avex case is just an offshoot of the SM case and since the latter has already been settled then what is the reason the agony of waiting be prolonged? Is it about the yakuza involvement or the cosmetic contract or are they just confusing the fans? For me the truth shall make JYJ free… year 2013 will be JYJ year in Japan. Cheers! Merry Christmas to JYJ and the fandom!
“For me the truth shall make JYJ free… year 2013 will be JYJ year in Japan. Cheers! Merry Christmas to JYJ and the fandom!”
Yes, getting ready for my confetti and fireworks. Cheers and Merry Christmas too
i just have to remind myself that this is from a tabloid.. and JYJ can overcome this obstacle as well,^_^
Exactly.
JYJ must come to japan next year!!
These Korean entertainment companies need to be thoroughly investigated regarding their questionable business practices. It is absolutely shameful what they get away with. I keep waiting for the police or undercover law enforcement to storm their offices and confiscate their business ledgers, expose their fraudulent contracts and scrutinize their financial records. I cannot believe this has been going on for so long. The whole entertainment structure needs to be overhauled for the sake of future performers.
If they are politically well-entrenched it will be almost impossible to break down their walls…perhaps an act of God can do it.
@Honorie De Vera;
Let’s pray!
I vote for a strike of lightning! Can we put that in the prayer box?
Jyosei seven? *snort*
Dispatch Japan version pppffftttt…..
