Why tohoshinki disband

However, the most probable way SM is doing it is by threating to pull their own bands and they have many highly popular ones from performing if JYJ does. Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun smoke. Kim Junsu does not. Also, apparently, his religion discourages things like smoking as well. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

It is also known that the content to the contract the 3 members cannot agree to includes having them belonging exclusively to SM Entertainment for 13 years and also unhappiness over profit allocation. About the reasons to why We cannot reveal the details now.

Currently out of the 3 members, JunSu is already doing a cosmetic business with his parents. It is said that there were also plans for the business to be launched in China bringing in hundreds millions KRW in profit.

But it has been said that the 2 sides are having some differing views and also complications arose through their discussion on how the product and brand will go. It seems that the members may not be appearing for the concert with their lawsuit with the company.

Fans are also very taken back by this incident. Many have voiced their disbeliefs on various discussion forums. The director board of the company is currently having an urgent meeting in an undisclosed place in Seoul to discuss about their countermeasures.

TVXQ is really breaking up? Well, it seems that information may have actually been true. Yunho and Changmin have decided not to file an injunction. Basically the three of them supposedly had meetings with a Chinese cosmetic company and launched a new cosmetic line called CreBeau. They invested some of their own money and also in turn received a some gifts from the Chinese company as incentive package for signing up and investing.

Some of the rumored gifts includes Micky's Audi R8 and the townhouse for Xiah's parents. SM Entertainment supposedly got wind of this news and because SM Entertainment has the "exclusivity clause" in their contract, SM Entertainment tried to prevent this from happening.

Unhappy with this, and already unhappy that they feel they're being underpaid profit-wise from album sales, you can understand why they're trying to terminate the "exclusivity clause" in their contracts.

There's also rumors that if a favorable agreement isn't met, the three will be leaving the group for good. SM Entertainment via phone to one of the Korean news media outlets stated that they are aware of the situation, the board of directors is having an emergency meeting and are discussing what to do.

They'll have an official statement soon. With the exclusive rights clause in the contract, the 13 years also include the time the members are serving their military service, hence it will go for more than 15 years. The penalty for retracting the exclusive right clause is 3 times the investment cost and 2 times the lost in earnings. They also asked about the penalty of cancelling the whole contract but it will involve several hundred billions KRW of penalty, hence in reality there is no way out but to be tied down to SM because of the contract.

Without getting any contract fees, the initial contract was that if their album sells more than K copies, each member will get about 10 million KRW during the next album release. If they sell less than K copies of album, they will get nothing.

With the exception of 1 week for year, they were only able to get hours of sleep and had to go through schedules. During this period, the health of the three members deteriorated and they were mentally fatigued.

They wished to participate in entertainment activities according to their individual visions. In reality, 13 years of contract meant a contract for life. This meant that there was still 10 years to go with the current contract and in reality, meant until retirement. In the instance that the contract would be breached, the penalty would be to pay 3 times the total investment, 2 times the lost earnings.

Even in the case that the contract is canceled when agreed by both parties, the members were required to pay penalty. Therefore, due to the millions of wons required by the contract upon cancellation, contract cancellation was realistically impossible and the members had no choice but to remain in SM 3. The members did not receive adequate treatment from SM for their efforts.

This clause was revised in , February 6th, but even after the revision, earnings that each member would receive for the album sales were 0. Despite all this, the three members wanted to find a way to deal with the situation and requested for a conference where both parties could find a solution but SM did not respond. During this process, by the attitudes shown by SM, the three members realized that there was no point in hoping for a settlement and resorted to the court of justice to execute a solution for the problems.

The investment in makeup company does not have any relation to entertainment activities and does not have any relation to the applied provisional disposition. The nature of this incident is the contract. The makeup company SM discussed planned to export to China, and the three members invested as stockholders, having no relation with their entertainment activities.

The members do not want DBSK to break up and just hope to free themselves from contract restraints. However, this disposition was not intended for DBSK to end. Right now, due to differences in how the members wish to overcome problems, only 3 members have participated in the lawsuit. However, there is no problems within the members and they all have the same wishes to keep their promises with their fans to always remain as one. After this incident, if contract injustice is corrected and the members are given conditions to freely perform their music, they feel that everyone can be one and can stand in front of fans as one.

We will take this as an opportunity to mature. If the fans could think of this as a jump to bigger dreams and continue to cheer, the members promise to respond to the fans as better musicians.
