Case Ruling
The court has come out with a ruling for the DBSK case. Please note this is NOT a final decision.
For those that don’t understand…it basically means that SME cannot stick their hands into DBSK’s independent activities nor their group activities. So they have the right to reject schedules or performances. So SME doesn’t have full exclusivity on the 3 members in the case. However, the case is NOT closed, as the court has not yet decided if the contract will be abolished or invalid, seeing as there are a lot of things that come into play. SME is going to appeal the ruling and hold an official press conference about their position and the ‘truth’.
For now, it seems that the court’s on DBSK’s side. Hm…curious to see what SME has to say during the press conference…cuz they’ve yet to do that until now.

The court has gave out the final ruling on the lawsuit between the 3 members of Dong Bang Shin Ki and SM Entertainment.
Seoul Central Court revealed on 27th October a citation of their ruling for the lawsuit between the SM Entertainment and TVXQ Hero JaeJoong, Xiah JunSu and Micky YooChun.
It was revealed, “We see that part of the terms in their contract has much destroyed the good morals of the whole contract. SM Entertainment should not interfere with its singers’ independent unique activities and also contract to perform and other entertainment activities.”
Previously in July, the 3 members of Dong Bang Shin Ki has revealed their 13-year long contract under SM Entertainment, which meant that they will possibly be working under SM Entertainment for life, and has applied for the effect of provisional disposition of the terms in their contract. And the 2 parties have engaged in a lawsuit as SM Entertainment insist that the terms under their contract are reasonable.
The court also revealed, “Through the individual agreement, there is high possibility for group activities to continue, but for the provisional disposition of the existing activities and the profit allocation, it is invalid and difficult. We will have to dismiss the application for the full provisional disposition of the effects of the exclusive belonging terms in the contract.”
Updates: The 3 members have announced that they will agree to the court rulings on this lawsuit
—
The court ruled partial disposition of the exclusive contract terms – to dispose of the SM Ent’s interference to the members’ independent unique activities and also contract to perform and other entertainment activities
But the part about profit allocation will still have to stay
Addition from 121:
this the news that I read in soompi the courts in favor of the boys, and they stated that the boys should be able to be more independent (meaning they can reject schedules that SM proposes and can do their own businesses without interference) but not move companies (meaning all the boys will be under SM!) However! This is not a final decision, and the exact, absolute one will come out in the near future. I hope u are no longer confused

FAN ACTIVIST
y Bae Ji-sookStaff Reporter
Park Jin-young, president of JYP Entertainment, made an official statement on Sept. 17 to explain his stance regarding Park Jae-beom, the former leader of the uber-popular boy band 2PM. The briefing was an inevitable measure in the face of the aggressive activism from 2PM fans.
It was the band’s loyal fans – who have printed advertisements in newspapers and are threatening to boycott 2PM-related products and items – that pushed him to make a reluctant speech over Jae-beom, who left the band after negative comments he made about Korea four years ago were made public.
However, Park is about to make another big decision as unsatisfied fans are asking him to disclose the singer’s working contract.
The fans also continue to release newspaper advertisements calling for Jae-beom’s reinstatement, in which they allude to a potential boycott of TV and other programs involving 2PM until the music tycoon takes back the member.
The world of fandom is changing rapidly. Gone are the days when they were mere consumers of pop culture. They are now the largest influence in the field, able to “solve the problems on their own.”
This is a long way from the image of fans screaming or crying in front of their favorite stars’ residences.
“They are quite frank about what they want and know how to get it,” online showbiz critic Fiancee said.
“They have realized that they do have power over their stars. They make statements, hold protests and write appealing letters to reporters, industry insiders and others. They are becoming a ‘political power’ in a way,” she said.
A while ago, SM Entertainment, which represents the boy band Super Junior, planned to hire a Chinese member for the band to woo the Chinese market. Consequently, angry fans gathered in front of the headquarters every second Saturday to protest the decision.
The company later withdrew the announcement, saying they “respect the fans, who are the biggest assets to Super Junior.”
Fan clubs are now boycotting SM products because they canceled concerts at which TVXQ was scheduled to appear.
“This is our time to show SM that we are more than passive stance,” a fan said.
This is the case not only with the fans of singers.
When it was announced that the MBC cult hit “Tamnaneundoda” (Tamra, the Island) was wrapping up on Sept. 27, far earlier than the originally planned date of Oct. 11, fans held an online campaign to urge the station to withdraw the decision.
Kim Mi-kyeong, one of the cast members, said in an interview that it was the first time she had felt such intimacy with her fans. “The fans would bring snacks, try to encourage us and make every detail of the drama an issue so that the station could give it a second thought. I never imagined in my life that fans would act to influence a TV drama,” she said.
“This is a new wave of the consumer’s rights movement. They stand for the entertainer’s rights and their own rights against an offensive and cold capitalism,” Kim Seong-su, another culture critic, said.
But in some cases, the depth of the fans’ affection is becoming aggressive and offensive to others.
Fans of G-Dragon, the lead singer of Big Bang, bombarded the Web site of the MBC radio program “Bae Cheol-soo’s Music Camp,” and several others for raising suspicion over the plagiarism.
It was later revealed that his recording company was warned over the issue by Sony Korea.
