[News] JYJ representative hopes that the court’s decision will bring hope to JYJ’s activities

The courts ruled that SM Entertainment would have to pay JYJ 20 million KRW every time they interfere with JYJ’s activities.

Seoul Central District Court (Civil Department 51, Judge Kim Dae Woong) ruled, “SM cannot interfere with JYJ’s activities. SME will be forced to pay 20 million KRW each time they fail to comply with the courts’ ruling.”

In response, during a phone interview with TV Daily, a JYJ representative stated, “I don’t think the courts ruling will directly result in JYJ’s appearances on broadcasts. However, I hope someone will listen to the courts’ decision to side with JYJ.”

Furthermore, he said, “I hope the public and broadcasters will continue to pay attention in this current situation and help us develop a more fair and better system within the show business. I hope the courts’ decision will become a hope for JYJ’s future activities.”

Meanwhile, the courts ruled on February 17th against all injunctions filed by SME against the suspension of JYJ’s contract and ordered SM to stop interfering with JYJ’s independent activities.

[News] The Court orders SM to pay compensations for interfering with JYJ’s activities

The Court orders SM to pay compensations for interfering with JYJ’s activities

[OSEN=Choi Na young, reporter]

Seoul Central District Court (Civil Department 51, Judge Kim Dae Woong) indirectly ruled a compulsory order to SM Entertainment to pay compensations for interfering with JYJ(Jaejoong, Yuchun, and Junsu)’s [entertainment] activities.

On February 21, 2011, the Court judged that “SM Entertainment shall not interfere with JYJ’s entertainment activities, and in the case of violating this order, SM will be obliged to pay 20 Mil KRW per each violation”.

The Court explained in the Judgment that “Despite the fact that the court had granted the provisional injunction to terminate the validity of the its exclusive contract on 27 October, 2010, SM Entertainment held a press conference on November 2, 2009 announcing that JYJ should abide by the terms of the exclusive contract with SM, and sent a certification of contents asking Warner Music Korea not to produce and distribute JYJ’s Worldwide album on October 2, 2010. Reflecting on these instances, it can be acknowledged that there is probable to judge that SM Entertainment has interfered with JYJ’s entertainment activities, so the court issues this indirect order.”

The Court previously decided in favor with JYJ, ruling that “fully dismiss[es] SM’s objection to injunction on 27 October, 2010 and application of provisional injunction to terminate the validity of exclusive contract between JYJ and CJeS.”, and also confirmed that “the exclusive contract between SM and JYJ is invalid.”

Baek Chang Ju from CJeS Entertainment, JYJ’s agency, commented, “There is still a lot of work that we all have to do. It is very frustrating to say that JYJ still has to overcome other obstacles other than the ones the Court acknowledged today in order to reach the public.”

[News] The continued postponing of QTV’S “JYJ’s Real 24″ draws much complaints from viewers

The continued postponing of cable channel QTV’S “JYJ’s Real 24,” originally scheduled to air mid-February, is drawing much complaints from viewers.

The reality program, which is planned to consist of a total of 8 episodes, drew lots of attention even during its planning stages because it was set to cover JYJ throughout all 24 hours of each day and show their every move.

Fans especially had high expectations for the program because it was said to contain various aspects of JYJ’s day and their many activities in filming for commercials, musicals, etc. Furthermore, the program planned to reveal the members’ houses for the first time on television.

However, the program is drawing numerous complaints from viewers because it has yet been scheduled, despite there being only a week left in the month of February. Fans are growing anxious over their fear of another one of JYJ’s broadcasts becoming cancelled.

Fans are especially suspicious that the program is being deferred from airing due to “pressure” from external forces.

On QTV’s webpage, fans have been leaving messages stating, “I didn’t know that even cable channels had such walls. Is QTV also afraid of angering someone?” and further pointed out, “I really hope you keep your promise to air the program because fans from not only Korea, but around the world are watching.”

They also claimed, “fans who hadn’t watched cable channels up until this point have signed up for cable because of this program. In fact, there are fans who even switched televisions,” and raised their voices to ask QTV to “please announce the air date as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, in response, QTV has stated, “the air date of the program has been delayed because we’ve been trying to work out differences on domestic publication rights. The program hasn’t been canceled, but it will take some time.”

A representative of QTV has revealed, “in the current situation, it is difficult to say when the exact air date will be. It is certain, however, that the program will be aired on a date later that what was originally planned. We also hope to air the program soon.”

On the topic of “external force rumor,” this representative stated that he “hadn’t heard of such things.”

It saddens me that I can’t trust a word that comes out of QTV’s mouth. The courts have made their decision and it really is time that everyone respects it. Isn’t Korea a society of laws? I really hope KFPCAI (aka SM) isn’t behind this and QTV really needs to understand that the fans will neither forget or forgive if they fail to keep their promise.
