TVXQ Yunho Changmin talks about the members of Zhongzhong for the first time: All three of them have changed

China News Service, November 3, "Everything changed after the three of them started working in the cosmetics business. "U-Know Yunho (real name Jung Yunho) and Maxim Changmin (real name Shim Changmin), members of the popular Korean group "TVXQ", have expressed their stance for the first time against the other three members who have an exclusive contract dispute with their agency SM Entertainment. "Chosun Ilbo" reported that SM Entertainment held a press conference at the 63 Building in Yeouido, Seoul on November 2 regarding the court's partial acceptance of the three members' claims. U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin released a document signed by both of them. Yunho and Changmin claimed in this document: "After the three members filed the so-called temporary processing application, we were constantly asked why this happened. In one sentence, it seems that it was when the three members started working in cosmetics. After the business, everything changed." The two said: "Cosmetic companies and brokerage companies recruit members privately without consultation, and their business methods are extremely crude. This will inevitably cause problems, so we have not participated in this kind of thing. Project." The two also said: "We have no idea what kind of promises the cosmetics company made to the three people, what they said to them, and how much money they made. But we have been pursuing the same dream for five years. We worked together to make TVXQ what it is today, but now it is being disbanded because of this kind of cosmetics business with such an irregular cosmetics company. It is really unacceptable.” Previously, the group’s members, Hero Jaejoong, Xiajunsu, and Miqiyu, were members of the group. Tianzeng filed a temporary settlement lawsuit against the brokerage company in July this year, requesting that the exclusive contract be terminated. In this regard, the court ruled that the exclusive contract part was invalid and required "the three members' independent performing activities to be guaranteed." On the other hand, SM Entertainment representative Kim Young-min made it clear: "Due to the temporary decision, the three members can carry out individual activities, but their activities as members of TVXQ must be carried out through our company." Kim Young-min also issued an ultimatum, saying: " In order to prepare for the plan to restart TVXQ's activities in China next spring, the three members will be asked to respond before the 12th in 10 days."?

Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin issued a statement to support SM? Obey the company's arrangements

Sohu New Korea Line News? According to the afternoon news on November 2, Beijing time, according to Korean media reports, the dispute between Kim Jae-jung, three TVXQ members and SM Entertainment, with the court's interim judgment When it came to an end, two other TVXQ members, Shim Changmin and Jung Yunho, issued statements stating that they would fully support SM. At a press conference held by SM on the afternoon of November 2, Shim Changmin and Jung Yunho each issued statements expressing their support for SM. Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin said that they had never thought about leaving SM, and said that TVXQ was owned by SM. No other company understands TVXQ better than SM. SM’s hard work and dedication have made TVXQ what it is today. They believe that Kim Jae-jung and the other three also know this. From a moral point of view, they have never considered leaving SM and will actively participate in various activities organized by TVXQ organized by the company. Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin also said that TVXQ's activities next spring will take at least 6 months to prepare. Therefore, if Kim Jaejoong and the other three really hope that TVXQ can continue their activities, they should respond to SM's invitation as soon as possible. At today's press conference, SM Entertainment stated for the first time that it recognizes the rights of Kim Jae-joong and Kim Jae-joong to perform personal activities, but stated that they must still obey SM's arrangements for TVXQ's group activities. We will also take legal measures in the future to recover all losses suffered by SM Company due to this lawsuit.

Exclusive: SM issued an official document clarifying the inside story of TVXQ's contract termination /20091103/n267938305. 1) About the contract period. In this application for temporary sanctions, three members claimed that the exclusive contract period was too long. But I believe they cannot deny the fact that the members and their parents have been proactively requesting and cooperating with the contract renewal in order to enter the overseas market, achieve success and development, as stated when discussing the contract content. As we all know, our company started to enter overseas markets from the beginning of H.O.T. By the S.E.S. stage, it was already actively exploring overseas markets.

In the early stages of S.E.S.'s entry into Japan, Japanese brokerage companies at that time had generally requested that the contract period be set at 5 to 7 years. This was also a measure taken to ensure that investments would not be lost during the contract period. This was also a step in cooperating with Japanese companies. basic mode. After that, when I started planning for BoA ??to enter Japan, in order to improve investment efficiency, I also took into account the contract period with the local agency and signed a 10-year contract with BoA. After signing a contract with AVEX, Japan's largest management company, BoA successfully topped the Japanese mainstream music market rankings for eight years, achieving unprecedented brilliant results. During the initial planning period, TVXQ had planned to build it into a top artist in Korea, Japan, China and even the entire Asian market. The five members and their parents all agreed with this lofty ideal and development prospect, so they added an additional three years to the original 10-year contract and renewed the contract. When signing the updated contract, the members and their parents fully considered TVXQ's future development plans and goals - to become an all-around top group, to obtain long-term support from the company, to expand overseas markets, and to obtain sustainable development. Stable investment protection and other factors, and happily agreed to sign the updated contract. All the parents of the five members were indeed present, and they fully discussed the above content and signed it after expressing their agreement. Therefore, our company made a huge investment of more than 4 billion yuan in order for TVXQ to successfully enter the Japanese market under an increasingly difficult operating situation. Only now, five years later, has it gradually begun to receive real returns in the Japanese market. . Without considering these factual backgrounds, without understanding the same values ??and goals reached by our company and members during the signing process, it would be inappropriate to just focus on the number of 13 years and conclude that the content of the contract is inappropriate. . 2) Regarding the damages clause, the three members claimed that the amount involved in the damages clause was excessive, which was unreasonable. Regarding damages clauses, the Fair Trade Commission and the High Court had already ruled and implemented them as early as July 2002. In 2007, the then Fair Trade Commission Clauses and Systems Section was transferred to the subcommittee, and then based on the contents of the municipal advisory The starting point of the contract and the damages clause were revised accordingly, and in April 2008, other contract clauses were also comprehensively revised through negotiations with the Fair Trade Commission’s Terms and Conditions Section and Service Competition Section. Finally done. To sum up, through negotiations with the Fair Trade Commission, our company has made many modifications to the contract terms, including the damage compensation clause. TVXQ’s contract also reflects these modifications and has been revised several times. and improvement. 3)? Regarding unfair treatment. The three members claimed that the company gave them unfair treatment, but in fact they just kept repeating the uneven distribution of their benefits and lack of transparency, and could not provide other examples of unfair treatment. All along, the three members mentioned to the media that our company seems to be deliberately concealing sales and committing fraud. However, anyone with common sense would think that as a listed company on KOSDAQ in South Korea, it is impossible for our company to conceal sales. Um, it's fake. Therefore, this fact can be proven again in the information released by the court. In modern society, rampant illegal downloading has led to an increasingly depressed music record market and continued deficits. In such a harsh operating environment, our company still paid 11 billion yuan in cash income distribution for TVXQ. When signing the contract change in February 2009, it significantly increased the income distribution ratio and decided that this standard would be applicable to 2008. The sales volume after the release of the fourth album "Mirotic" in the second half of the year will be distributed to protect the interests of each member. In other words, there is no objective fact that there is any unfair treatment. On the contrary, our company invested a lot of money in TVXQ and gave it the highest treatment.

4.? Future plans for TVXQ. With this provisional punishment, the three members can carry out individual activities, but activities in the name of TVXQ must be carried out through our company. Our company plans to launch TVXQ’s return to the Korean music scene next spring. In order to prepare for this plan, our company asked three members to respond to this before November 12th, after the 10th.

For specific matters, please contact our agent who is still responsible for TVXQ’s agent activities.

5. What are our company’s future improvement measures? In 2002, 2007, and 2008, based on the Fair Trade Commission’s corrective measures and recommendations, our company implemented measures including damage compensation regulations and contract period. The content of the exclusive contract has been revised accordingly. If the contract that has been revised three times is called a "violation of human rights", a "slave contract", and an "anti-social contract" and loses some validity not in the ruling of this case but due to the application for temporary disposition, then through a company The investment, the hard-earned entertainment career foundation, and the entire Hallyu effect will be destroyed in an instant. From the perspective of universal social values, if the law recognizes such successful behaviors that satisfy "extreme selfish desires" and "treachery" under the banner of "violation of human rights", it will destroy the values ??of the entire society and lead to unimaginable consequences. as a result of. Our company successfully opened up the Japanese market for TVXQ. In the following five years, our operating losses accumulated to more than 7 billion yuan. However, we still persisted in investing and cultivating TVXQ. Now we have finally pushed them to the top of the Japanese entertainment industry. We reached the top of the industry and achieved unprecedented brilliant results. However, our company was misunderstood by everyone due to reports of "violation of human rights" and "slave contract". Let me ask, if this selfish desire can be satisfied, can the rights and reputation of the company, as well as the interests of investors, be ignored? Logically speaking, the principles of freedom of contract and honesty and trustworthiness should also be guaranteed after investing and achieving great success. Our company’s exclusive contract is a contract formulated based on the understanding and efforts of the Fair Trade Commission industry over the past few years and based on the basic situation of our company. It is also signed by the artist’s free will with his or her parents or guardians present. contract. It is based on the valuable experience learned from the process of creating Korean Wave culture, and is finally completed by continuous revisions and supplements in order to invest on a larger scale and enter overseas markets. Although it is a temporary punishment, if the content of such a contract cannot be affirmed in a certain part, and if the most fundamental contractual relationship observed under the principle of mutual trust cannot be affirmed, what kind of cultural enterprise can there be? Can you survive? If a contract signed with the consent and free will of the parties is completely denied after the parties succeed, the entire entertainment industry will be paralyzed. A contract should be freely drawn up and signed in accordance with the principle of freedom of contract. However, if each relevant department has its own different interpretation and draws different conclusions based on different understandings of the law, then there will continue to be a phenomenon of people trying to get rid of the contents of the contract for any reason or excuse after becoming famous. To survive in the international cultural market where countries are fiercely competitive, the Korean cultural industry, which originally requires huge investment, is about to lose a large number of investors and funds. Our company believes that a contract standard should be developed so that both parties who sign the contract can obtain legal protection based on this standard from the beginning to the termination of the contract. If the contract cannot be drawn up according to this standard, the chaos in the entertainment industry will continue. In this regard, our company is worried that the entire country's cultural industry and the Korean Wave phenomenon will disappear and be destroyed. As a leading company in the entertainment industry, our SM company has full trust and love for the artists who have worked together to expand broader development prospects and form Korean culture, as well as the other two members of TVXQ. duty to protect their reputation and interests. In order to prevent the public from mistakenly thinking that they are on the same side as the three members who applied for temporary sanctions this time, and to avoid such disagreements over exclusive contracts in the future that would cause the reputation of the company and artists to be damaged again, at the same time, in order to avoid To avoid other problems, we propose the following constructive solutions. Our company believes that the performing arts industry, including our company, and relevant government departments such as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Fair Trade Commission, academia, Congress and other legislative bodies can jointly negotiate and legislate new exclusive contract standards, or formulate Contract standards that are certified by a notary public and have legal effect. Our company will actively participate in this event. After these new exclusive contract standards pass actual legislation, our company will strictly follow this content and re-formulate all artist contracts.

We will focus more on cultivating more top artists who transcend Asia and go to the world stage. We will do our best to promote the smooth development of the Korean cultural industry, add value to the Korean economy and enhance the national image through Hallyu culture, and do our best to Going.

Will the name of the "TVXQ" group disappear? Contract disputes will leave consequences

China News Service, November 4th. South Korea's SM Entertainment is in a dispute with TVXQ members. After a legal conflict occurred, he applied to register the trademark "TVXQ". However, according to several previous cases, the name rights do not belong to the company but to the members. Therefore, it is still unknown whether the trademark rights will be given to SM. In fact, the trio of TVXQ members Hero Jaejoong, Miqi Yoochun and Xia Junsu involved in the contract dispute will not be able to use the name "TVXQ". Therefore, some people in the entertainment industry pointed out that the name "TVXQ" is actually very likely to disappear into the depths of history. According to South Korea's "Joongang Daily", in the case of deep conflicts among members, for the TVXQ members who have priority to use the "TVXQ" name, the two groups (Hero Jaejoong, Miqi Yuchun, Xia Junsu 3 If any of the two parties (Ren, U-Know Yunho, and Max Changmin) raises an objection, both parties will be unable to use it. The trio (Hero Jaejoong, Miki Yoochun, and Sea Junsu) who had conflicts with the company have always adhered to the position of "TVXQ will not disband, and the five of them will continue together." But it seems that the ongoing conflicts between the two sides will not be easily resolved. ?

Sohu Shinhan Line News? Yesterday, SM held a press conference. TVXQ members Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin both expressed their support for SM. Jung Yunho’s father, Jung Yanghyun, also issued a confirmation letter detailing the "cosmetics incident." He also stated that "in fact, the two members who did not file an indictment suffered the greatest loss."

Confirmation letter I am Jung Yang Hyun, the father of Jung Yunho, the captain of TVXQ. From the time the false trial application was submitted until the results of the current application come out, the two members who did not file a lawsuit have actually suffered the greatest losses. In fact, as a result of this incident, the question of the survival of TVXQ as a group caused the two members to suffer not only financial and spiritual losses, but more seriously, the reputational losses of these two members. Where to get compensation. The current mood really makes me panic. After the three members applied for a false trial, to this day I am still puzzled as to what caused the "TVXQ situation" to occur. I feel very sad and angry about this. Until a few months ago, we had a mutually respectful relationship among company employees and members; after several years of hard work as a trainee, we were finally able to debut, and through five years of concerted efforts, we gained the top positions in Korea, Japan and other Asian regions. I deeply regret why TVXQ, which has the reputation of being a popular singer and has successfully held concerts in Japan many times resulting in unprecedented ticket sales, has fallen into such a crisis. Why on earth did these three members give up the brand that represents the country, the highest reputation of Hallyu and its endless added value and future guarantee? Why did such a big change happen? I still feel like a dream. Same. I want to say to the three members, no matter what reason you have caused such chaos, do you want TVXQ, the brand that represents the country, to be disbanded? I also want to ask if they don't take the other two members except the person in question seriously, so they abuse them like this. Both members knew quite well what was really going on. However, the reason why they did not express any position and chose to remain silent was because they wanted to be consistent with the parties concerned, and because they hoped that the internal problems of the company and TVXQ could be resolved as soon as possible without distorting the facts. From the standpoint of these two members, this incident has caused the greatest damage to them mentally, economically, and socially. But even under such circumstances, in order to protect TVXQ, they have Neither of them made any speech. Instead, I wanted to ultimately achieve the goal of protecting TVXQ by telling the truth about the incident. I wrote this because I think it will help TVXQ's reputation. In order to correctly understand the truth of this matter, we should start investigating the fundamental reason why the three members proposed a fake trial.

I believe that if TVXQ disbands, it will definitely cause social shock, damage their image, damage their reputation, and foresee economic losses in the future. If they give up regardless of all these, there must be a reason. In other words, even in a period when they were more successful than they are now through accumulation over the past five years, the relationship between the members was still good even though they were not making as much money as they are now, and the period when their popularity was at its peak, etc., in general, what can make people happy now? The reason why TVXQ disbanded? I believe that the root cause of this incident cannot be separated from the cosmetics business and the financial ambitions associated with it. In order to let the truth of the matter come to light, I will give you a detailed explanation here of the facts I know about the cosmetics business. The first time I heard about the cosmetics business was one day in February 2009. At that time, the parents of the three members, myself and Changmin’s father all had different opinions. Now the most popular star in Asia, TVXQ "Even if it is not difficult to become a world-famous brand spokesperson, why do you want to invest in this cosmetics company that you have never heard of? I do not accept the reason why they opened an agency at will without any consultation with the brokerage company. Moreover, people around me have also heard rumors that this is a pyramid scheme company that specializes in cosmetics made from sheep placenta. It’s not a cooperative business that was formally negotiated with the agency. Cosmetics companies doing business together don’t have much credibility at all. I considered that if I’m not careful, it may cause TVXQ’s image and reputation to be damaged domestically and even overseas. All of them may be damaged. I also explained this to my son, and he agreed with me, so we never had the idea of ??investing in cosmetics with the three members and their parents from the beginning. I thought it would be fine, but then the issue regarding the cosmetics business of the three members happened as expected. After the three members who filed for fake review due to this issue met with SM Entertainment's President Kim Young-min in Japan, around May 2009, in order to resolve the cosmetics issue, President Kim Young-min and the parents of all TVXQ members also Met. At that time, Japan's Aihui Company and others raised public questions about the relationship with the cosmetics company to President Kim Young-min. Aihui pointed out that this was not a simple investment, but a cosmetics business that directly or indirectly used TVXQ. This caused TVXQ's image at home and abroad to be tarnished and caused great harm to the members' coming and going, which led to the request to boycott the cosmetics business. However, this did not gain the understanding of the parents of the three members but was refuted. After President Kim Young-min left, the parents of TVXQ gathered together, and the father of one of the three members said, "I won't do anything for SM from now on." Shim Changmin's father and I tried to convince the other parents. He expressed his stance very tenaciously. After that, I heard that the parents of two of the three members had issued proof of invalidity of their contract with SM Company without any compromise, and then I learned about the application for a false trial in order to prove that the exclusive contract was invalid. . What I want to say is that the TVXQ group does not belong to just three people. There were two other members of the company (Yunho and Changmin) who directly took legal measures to investigate the unfairness of the contract without any discussion, which caused social fluctuations. This kind of disregard of the rights of the other two members (Yunho and Changmin) The behavior also caused great harm to them. This is all I know about the reasons that triggered this incident. Because this is all, because my son even regards TVXQ as more precious than his own life, so I feel very sorry for his reputation to be damaged for this reason. regret. TVXQ was originally set to be the best group born not only for the domestic market, but also for the overseas market. We have known about their positioning from the agency before their debut, and the parents of other members also clearly know this fact. So when the original 10-year contract was extended to 13 years in order for them to better develop domestically and overseas, the parents of all the members unanimously nodded in agreement and approved it. I cannot understand at all the argument that the three members who filed the false trial claimed that they did not receive what they deserved due to the unreasonable income distribution mentioned in the exclusive contract.

Instead, I would like to ask the three members and their parents, if they think this is a problem, why they conduct income settlement every time after their debut. After listening to the explanation of the financial manager, Director Li, when signing various settlement documents, , no such question was raised? If you felt that the content of the contract was inappropriate, why didn't you mention it when you signed the renewal contract with the company? Although I didn’t know how they would answer, my true belief made it impossible for me to hide the fact and tell the truth. In fact, it was the purpose of ignoring the exclusive agreement signed with the brokerage company and trying to earn income through shortcuts that led to this. Let something happen. My son is only 24 years old this year, and he still doesn’t understand the ways of the world and society. In the future, none of us can predict whether he will continue to be an artist in the entertainment industry for decades or return to the life of an ordinary person. Know. Not only me, my son was also greatly hurt by what happened this time. As a father, what I want to tell my son is that one day the truth will come out. Even if you deceive everyone in the world at a certain time, you can't deceive your own conscience. God sees everything, so no matter what kind of pain you endure, you must be a person worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, at least You must be a person who abides by your agreements, is trustworthy, and obeys the law. I don’t want to teach my children that “if you blind your conscience a little, you can gain huge wealth; if you don’t take the right path and take a shortcut, you can be faster than others. Such shortcuts are the real world.” Because ultimately what is gained by taking those shortcuts is also easier to lose. I not only want to say this to my son, but I also want to give these words to the other three members who are like my children. My son (Jung Yunho) and I have been hearing about TVXQ’s activities and future development plans from the agency since its debut, and signed a contract with SM Entertainment with our consent. So even now, my son and I are very confident that SM will develop TVXQ more deeply and become a national brand. We can't imagine what TVXQ would be like without SM. We believe that this matter will be resolved satisfactorily, and we firmly believe that we will grow and develop together with the brokerage company.
