I’m reading more and more articles about the new “JYJ” and their contract adventures. I’ve never really been a fan of this group, or I should rather say, the group they were but I’ve got a few music videos. I knew 3 members at some point sued SM Entertainment for ‘the lengthyness/ exclusiveness/ terms/ payment’ of their contracts. So it appears they then signed with another Korean company C-JeS and for the Japanese activities at the same time with Avex? From what I can puzzle back together the trio then complained at Avex when Avex wanted to change some “small details”. Magically Avex decided to pull out dirty laundry on the C-JeS CEO around September last year, declaring their contract with JYJ invalid. “Alleged Gang connections”. While it appears that CEO indeed has a criminal record, denial on the allegation. They say Avex knew about the C-JeS CEO having a criminal record before signing with them. Meanwhile Avex is doing the “we’re innocent” dance*** and the music chart in Japan, namely Oricon, are pulling the latest release from their charts due to Avex’ “condition of distribution”.

Fan, meet shit.

No double pun intended I mean an actual ‘fan’. I just wrote about DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki/DBSG and whatever other name they have a few days ago and how they should not sing Japanese; now it’s all over Twitter as a trending topic. Now I do remember reading something vaguely about there being a dispute between them and SM Entertainment, their label. So finally I now know it appears to be some serious shit hitting the fan. Check it out here. And here, and here.
I for one, am completely behind the boys. Why? Because I hate machines that call themselves ‘corporations’. Besides that, I’m always amused with a little anarchy.
As for the contents of the complaint towards SM Entertainment, they would be triple douchebags for putting up with it if any of what it said is actually true. On the other hand, it could be handier [strategically smarter] to start fucking them when you have the position to. Which one it is, we’ll never know. Darn shame, since that’s the interesting part of doing “business”.
