[NEWS] 091029 TVXQ's Contract - Income Division

The Court has granted the injunction filed by the members of TVXQ against SM Entertainment.The Court found that the Contract between SM and the Members was unconscionable and against public policy. Following this victory, the Members are proceeding with the main suit to ask for the rightful shares of all income generated from their activities.

The following is a summary of the outrageous terms of the Contract that relates to the distribution of income. The clear conclusion is that the TVXQ members have received next to nothing for their six years of work, and that virtually all money we spend to buy SM products stay with SM. Please read the below to see the extent of the injustice.

Please keep in mind that SM's contract with TVXQ has been amended five times and therefore the applicable terms have varied over time. Accounting for all the resulting complexities, the truth adds up to the following:

-------------

I. TVXQ has received $0 for their album sales prior to July 2008, and only a negligible amount after that date.

Prior to the fifth and final round of amendments on July 1, 2008, the Contract read that for any album or single with sales not exceeding 500,000 copies, SM would be entitled to 100% of the profits, leaving the members with nothing. From the time of TVXQ's debut in late 2003 and until TVXQ's release of their 4th Korean album "Mirotic" in September 2008, no Korean album had sold more than 500,000 copies. Therefore, prior to July 2008 TVXQ has had absolutely zero income from their album sales.

On July 1,2008, SM amended the Contract to give each Member 1% of total sales for each album that sells over 200,000 copies. For any albums that sell fewer copies, the members are to receive 0.6% to 0%. SM has not honored even these outrageous terms, as it has not paid TVXQ a single cent since February 2009.

In sum, SM has kept 100% of all sales that TVXQ has generated with the sales of their albums and singles prior to July 2008, and has kept 95% or more of the sales after that date.

-------------

II. TVXQ has received $0 for the sales of concert DVDs and albums featuring recordings from such concerts.

Under the Contract, the Members are not entitled to receive any share of the profits generated from sales of concert DVDs and "live" albums.

-------------

III. TVXQ has received $0 for their appearances on TV programs.

Under the Contract, Members are not entitled to receive any share of the profits made through their TV appearances if the appearance is of a temporary nature. As all programs on which TVXQ appeared have featured the Members as "guests"and therefore by nature have been temporary, SM has kept all profits that TVXQ has generated from these TV appearances.

-------------

IV. For all other possible sources of revenue, SM subtracts from the total revenue all expenses, including salaries of other staff, stage preparation expenses, rent, travel expenses, food expenses, and the like, then gives TVXQ only a fraction of the remaining amount.

As for all other sources of income, the Contract states that TVXQ is entitled to varying percentages of the "net income." The Contract defines "net income" to be the amount remaining after the applicable "operating costs". The "operating costs" are defined to include such expenses that are traditionally expected to be covered by the employer, including but not limited to 1) salaries of the staff (manager, clothing coordinators, makeup artists, dance crew, and the like), 2) performing stage preparation costs, 3) living expenses, including rent and water/electricity bills, 4) travel expenses, including plane ticket costs, 5) meal expenses, and the like.

Even after all these "operating costs" are deducted from the net income, the Members are only entitled to a small percentage of the remainder while SM keeps the rest.

-------------

In conclusion, please realize that SM has kept virtually all of the profits that our Members have generated over the past six years. Our Members have received, literally, next to nothing.

Following the victory of the granting of the preliminary injunction, the Members now prepare for a suit to claim their rightful share of the profits that they themselves generated. Please help them win the lawsuit by boycotting all SM-made products and merchandises (this excludes all Avex-made products, which includes Japanese albums and singles released in Japan).

Please remember that every cent you spend on SM will be used to fuel SM's efforts against our Members in the main suit. We as fans support TVXQ in their rightful fight for their rights.

In TVXQ's fourth album, Jaejoong challenged himself and had a rap number in "Wrong Number." When asked, "How did it feel trying out rap?"

[TRANS] Can TVXQ Save the Music Industry?

CREDIT PROPERLY IF TAKING OUT.

Their fourth album has broken 20K sales.
TVXQ's fourth album "Mirotic" has sold over 20K copies after only two weeks of release, and on the 13th their total sales amounted to 208345 copies.
These two years, artists such as Big Bang (sold 132000 copies), Brown Eyed Girls (112000) copies, etc. have been under the curse of "not being able to sell more than 150,000 copies."
Each year, TVXQ's sales rankings are higher than before. According to charts, their first single in 2004 "Miduhyo," sold 242580 copies, ranking eighth.
Their second album, "Rising Sun,' sold 222472 copies in 2005, ranking fourth, and their third album "O. Jung. Ban. Hap" in 2006 sold 349317 copies, ranking first.
TVXQ's third album sold the most copies within Korea in 2006.
Everyone is anticipating their fourth album to outsell the third album and reach a sales mark of 35K, as they have broken the 20K mark in just two weeks.
Where does TVXQ's sales power come from?
First, fans want to collect the CDs, and they are the biggest source.
According to SM's calculations, TVXQ's official fanclub has 800,000 members.

[NEWS] Korean fans are using "silent -listening" method

A chinese website by the name of Baidu Bar said that recently Korean fans are using the "silent-listening" method. They said Korean Cassiopeia had come up with the cheering for Mirotic a long long time ago but after the Mini Concert 2 different opinions surfaced: one is continue with the loud cheering while they sing, the other one is to use the "silent-listening" method like Japanese fans.

A lot of people agreed with the second opinion. Because DBSK said that this album is aimed for the public, if they keep cheering loudly while the boys sing the atmosphere will be good but it will have bad effect on other viewers.

After that Cassiopeia went and ask for an opinion from the boys themselves. The answer they received was that they hope the fans will listen to their performance silently. Because of that Korean fans have decided to follow the silent-listening method from then on.

The super loud cheering you heard from Mnet was because a lot of fans lost control that day (maybe because of the unexpected fan meeting??) and they said it really had bad effects on Tv's viewer.

Korean fans dont want the same thing happen again so they carefully told everyone to keep quiet during the Music Bank performance and even gave leaflets to every fan who came in that day.

[Info] Yunho ripped his pants on stage! SBS Inkigayo ^^;;

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



He ripped his pants while performing @ SBS Inkigayo special Comeback

DBSK, who is preparing for a comeback after a year and seven months of hiatus, has experienced an accident of a member’s pants ripping during the pre-recording of Inkigayo.

DBSK will be making the comeback on the 28th, on SBS’s Inkigayo. They will be performing a total of three songs; title song, “Mirotic”, as well as “Hey!” and “Love in the Ice”.

However, around 2 PM today, the team’s leader U-know Yunho had ripped his pants around the thigh area, due to the intense dance moves for HEY, resulting in the half of the recording. It took around 20 minutes to fix the outfit.

After the pre-recording, Yunho met with a journalist, and laughed, “I guess our songs going to be a great hit! Although my pants ripped; I’m glad we could finish the performance successfully!” He also added, “I think my pants ripped because I wanted to try very hard; this indicates we’ll be a hit! We’ll show all our efforts in the future as well.”

Not only that, while singing Love in the Ice; a metal bar almost fell off, almost causing a dangerous incident.

[Trans] DBSK Members Sick During Inkigayo Comeback Recording T^T

DBSG will be making their comeback on SBS Inkigayo, on the 28th.
Today, DBSG visited the studio at 10 in the morning, and had three pre-recordings.
Despite the severe flu, all the members had; they were able to perform very powerful performances very well.

Right after the recording, Jaejoong told the journliasts that, "I was very nervous since it was our first performance,
But I'm glad we finished it well! Plus, all the members have the flu, so our conditions were not the best, but I'm glad
things went smooth!"

Due to living together, Jaejoong had spread his flu to all the the other members.

He admitted, "Honestly, I was the one who spread the flu. I'm extremely sorry towards the members,
We really wanted to show a perfect performance, but I'm quite regretful, since we couldn't."

He also added, "Thankfully, we finished the recording, without any big mistakes.
We had IVs, and took all our medicine, but I guess the flu must be really severe.
We hope to get better quickly, and perform well."

Especially, "We came to Korea after such a long time, and hearing the fans was very touching.
Next time, I hope people say we did our best with passion, instead of how we did our best with a cold."

*faints*

[TRANS] TVXQ 4th Album!! ^^

Q1 Condition of TVXQ
All: Hello, we're TVXQ!
CM: Yes, we recently were prepareing for our 4th album, and we also were active in Japan simultaneously. And recently, there has been a concert with our SM family, with SM Town, right?
YC: Right.
CM: It was a place where all the SM members performed together, something I dreamed of; with our juniors, and with BOA senior. It was very meaningful and fun!
JS: Yes, it was great.

Q2 Introduction of the 4th Album
YH: Yes, this album is a very special album to us.
JJ: Of course, we have come back after one year and seven months! We're actually releasing an album after such a long time, and the title of the album is "Mirotic". Yes, and firstly, Mirotic is a new word! Just like the two chinese characters, it means 'maze', and -tic. -Tic is an english word, which you put after a an adjective. So you can say that it's a fusion between chinese characters and english. So it's a new word!
YH: Does it mean that this album is an album you can't escape from?
JJ: Yes, it does.
JS: It means it's that type of album, with that type of song.
JJ: Yep, you can't come out of my spell. I feel as if the album connects with our song called "Joomun (Mirotic)", and if you listen and listen again to our album, you probably can't stop. (YC:Attractive album). As much as it took us to prepare for this album, it is filled with very solid songs as well, so please listen to it.

Q3 Introduction of the Title Song "Mirotic"
JJ: And our title track!
YH: Our title track is "Mirotic," and, I mean can't you just feel something by just the title?
JJ: It's a spell!
YH: Yes, it's a spell!
JS: Please order the album (Joomon in korean means both spell and to order!)
JJ: A while back, there was an Internet article called "We take orders for TVXQ," I was so shocked! Look at their type of sense.
YH: Our title song, Mirotic, is a dance song composed of a reverse beat. It is a song with a very sophisticated yet cold touch to it. I think that the chorus, especially, is very charming. You fall for me, you go crazy for me, you're my slave, and so on. It's basically about us, putting on a spell onto one woman. A thing like 'you can't leave me'.
JS: It's the apperance of a very confident man.
YH: Yes, a very positive man.

Q4 An episode you remember the most during the prepare of the album
YH: During the time of a year and 7 months, there were numerous episodes while we tried out best to produce this album.
YC: There were more than many! Firstly, while we were filming the music video of Mirotic; during Changmin's solo scence, it was very late, and everybody was tired. Well, Changmin was under water, in a water tank, and he dived and swam around BUT that tank ended up breaking!
JS: What broke?
YC: Don't you not know? The tank!
JS: Huh? It broke?
YC: HAHAHAHA
JS: Ah! Right it did break!
YC: You know right? (JS: Yes, yes, yes!) Well, the tank broke, and so it took more time than we expected, and plus, Changmin had a cold!
JS: I felt bad for him, while I was watching him film his part.
YH: What I remember the most is during our photoshoot; even though the music video was filmed excitingly! There were slightly some scenes where we showed some skin, right?
JJ: Yes there was.
YH: So I remember how the five of us excerized
JJ: We really tried our best
JS: Really tried our best!

Q5 Future Plans in Korea
JS: We're back after a year and seven months, finally, and releasing an album. We put a lot of effort in it, since it's our fourth album, and we tried our best to produce and prepare for it. We'll be greeting you with an awesome performance, awesome live, and awesome dance with Mirotic, so please look forward to it. We really want to be active until the end of 2008 in Korea, so please help us, and support us!

JS: It was TVXQ until now! Thank you!
