We know that TVXQ is the most popular boyband in Asia, but we don’t know how tired they are and how SM makes them as money machine. Now, SM will extend contract with TVXQ, but the contract is not fair for TVXQ. So, Xiah, Micky, and Hero demanding SM Ent. U-Know and Max aren’t betray their friends [Xiah, Micky, and Hero] so they aren’t give their signature, beside they’re still busy with their new drama [Yun Ho 'Heading To The Ground', Max 'Paradise Meadow']…
It’s not the first time SM get ‘Slave Contract’ case with their artist [ex. Shinhwa]. So nothing doubt if somepeople called SMEnt as Slave Management Entertaiment.
It also makes SMTOWN ’09 CONCERT pending for uncountable time and all TVXQ’s schedules canceled in SM homepage [really????!]…
I read in another blog which is write about one of Super Junior member give some-shocked information [no information about who is he (SuJu member)]:
“Although I want to move to other management, but we [SuJu] still under the contract and if we break the contract, we have to pay penalty money which is you can’t imagine how much they are. Because we are 13, in difinitely we have to divided our income for 13, in other words.. actually our income is not comparable with our popularity which is high enough. In fact SM use system where we have to pay our cost, stylish, and others… but our senior members discusing this problem and make clarification. We can’t do anything although we feel too loss because our management decision..”
In a short time SM’s share down until 20% and make SM lost a lot.
This is other information which was I copied from imeem, ‘ Cassiopeia Group’ and asianfanatics.net :

DNBN Cassie explanation – “Always Have Faith”
Here is a nice explanation from Korean Cassies of what’s really going on. Hopefully this will help clear up some rumors and confusion.
ALWAYS HAVE FAITH
by : CASSIOPEIA 데니제제
1. What is DBSK’s break up, and why did this break up news pop out?
and Are the news about DBSK true?
+ The words about DBSK breaking up came up as the news of the 3 members Jaejoong, YuChun, and Junsu filing a “Provisional disposition of suspending exclusive/ongoing contract” to the court came out. The breaking up rumors are just false rumors. The reason why the breakup rumors came out is because of the news of the members filing a suspension of the contract created more rumors amongst the fans. The most known false rumors flowing around from this were : The members not getting along, and the problems with SM Ent. and the member’s cosmetic line. A these rumors came out the break up rumors came out as well. The only real truth that are out about DBSK is the news about the members filing a suspension of contract. That’s the only one.
2. What is the deal with DBSK’s rumors about setting up a cosmetic company and the problems? What kind of relation does this have?
+ To tell the truth there is no relation with the cosmetic line and DBSK’s break up rumors. Of course the members that had filed the contract suspension were the ones that are opening the store, but the members are not the owners of the cosmetic company. They are just managing ONE store. The only thing the 3 members are responsible for is just ONE branch of the entire company. There were rumors about the members and the company in the past, and it seems to have been building up into false rumors. but the cosmetic line having relations to the reason of why the members have filed the contract suspensions are not true. These rumors are just what the people are assuming because they have no clue what is going on with what is true and what is not true. because of this reason, as long as there has not been a clear statement of confirmation, it is not true.
3. What is a “Provisional disposition of suspending exclusive contract” ? and What happens when this lawsuit is in action?
+ Simply, when you file a lawsuit of suspending a contract, you are basically putting a stop to the validity of the existing contract. An ongoing contract is basically saying that you will stay with the same company for a long time, but DBSK wants to fix the existing contract’s fishy areas and wants to express how the members wants to fix the contract and show what they want. That is it. This filing of lawsuit has nothing to do with DBSK members breaking up. And this lawsuit has nothing to do with who will be WINNING or LOSING. If this file gets passed and accepted then it just means that the existing contract will just lose the validity not that DBSK will leave SM Ent. and have DBSK break up.
4. On the re-contracting, there are talks that Yunho and Changmin have done a re-contract with SM Ent. is this true?
+ I don’t know where you heard this from, but this has never been confirmed formally and is just a false rumor. There has not even been a real news report of this rumor, and it’s JUST the 3 members filing a provisional disposition about the contract. Just because the 3 members have put out a provision doesn’t mean that just because only 3 members did that the other 2 made recontracts. These are just rumors. There were no talks or whatsoever about this. This is untrue.
5. How do we deal with all the false allegations, rumors, and articles that are still spreading?
+ To tell the truth, not all of us have the high tolerance and knowledge to be able to just pass and ignore all the news articles spreading over the internet and the on the search engines. And also the fact that not many of us have unlimited knowledge of how lawsuits work, of course many of us will panic over the news articles talking about the rumors as if they were facts, and about DBSK breaking up. In these kind of cases we just have to stay strong when seeing overly exaggerated articles and false articles. Because we Cassies are together with DBSK we have to show them. We can’t leave rude comments, and to not spread false rumors from reading false articles ourselves. We have to spread the right informations to the people and learn to gain the right informations as well. We have to request posts about taking down false informations and post and scrap the articles that have been formally confirmed by sm.ent and from right sources.
6. Even though they are rumors, rumors have been proved true alot of the times. Are there anything out there that are actual facts?
+ As long as the rumors have not been formally confirmed there is no possible way that we can call it actual facts. But we are for sure that the only thing 3 members have done is that they filed a lawsuit to FIX the contract (edit it basically) regarding slave contract, the validity date of the contract, and unfair contract listings. And to do this they have right now put a hard stance by putting a suspension to the validity of the existing contract. A lot of people are saying that DBSK will just become the 2nd H.O.T. and S.E.S. but situation is very different. DBSK is not just top idols in Korea but also artists who are very influential outside of Korea. SM. Dnt is not a company that would kick out DBSK just because their artist put a lawsuit. Even if DBSK was to break up from Sm.ent, this does not mean that DBSK will break up. Many might be asking ‘ What does that mean?’ DBSK is also in contract with a ent. group AVEX in japan. The contract validity with AVEX ent. has not ended and also have contracted with 2 companies for 2 CFs. DBSK also will be participating in Japan’s A-Nation starting today and also on the 1st of August, 22,23,29,and 30.
If DBSK was to even break away from SM Ent, they will have to deal with damages for breach of contract with Avex. Thing will get dirty. There has been the same situation in Japan with a group called SMAP. Back then SMAP’s member Kimura takaya(?) had filed a lawsuit against his own company called Johnny’s ent. The company backed away and reedited the contract and after that all the rest of the idol groups from there follows the new contract. Back then everyone there said that Kimura was going to take off to a new company and be solo, and every year his group gets hit with false rumors of breaking up but they are still together to this day. Anyway again, we believe that it will be best if all you guys would stop making careless judgment about DBSK’s breakup rumors.
SO BASICALLY THE TO POINT IS THAT: DBSK’s members Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu, and Micky Yoochun have filed a lawsuit ” Provisional disposition of suspending exclusive/ongoing contract” based on the contract’s basic terms of conditions, 13 year of slave contract term conditions of money. The false and over exaggerated news reports are overflowing, and the rumors of the company having issues with the members company line and the members not getting along are false. Just because they filed a lawsuit does not mean they are breaking up. They are just filing a lawsuit to FIX the existing contract with SM Ent. They have filed a lawsuit because SM Ent. would not negotiate in talks with the members and they have tried many times. Because negotiations did not get through the members as artist have filed a lawsuit against their company. The only way. So it is best to not believe the false rumors and read false articles.

[INFO] 090802 TVXQ Debacle Summary and Clarifications
First, the facts:
1. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu filed a lawsuit against SME (SM Entertainment) in order to suspend their contract.
2. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu did plan to manage a branch of a cosmetics company. This did NOT however relate nor tie into the lawsuit.
3. Yunho and Changmin are NOT filing a lawsuit against SME along with their fellow three members.
4. SM has been taking anywhere from 70-90% of TVXQ’s profits.
5. There have been NO talks of disbandment.
Addressing the facts:
1. The lawsuit suspends the three members’ contracts while pending. Popular belief is that they want to renegotiate parts of their contracts, POSSIBLY because of SM’s disapproval of fact number two.
2. This is a fact, enough said. SM released a statement that “The cosmetics company issue will be resolved”, but that statement did not refer to the injunction filed by Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu.
3. They are not, and this is why rumors of a breakup started flying because of this inconsistency within the members. It is just a coincidence that the two are not involved with the cosmetics company are also not filing a lawsuit against SME.
4. Yes but, to an extent, this is not as extreme as many people think. SME does take an unheard of amount from TVXQ, but they also pay for anything and everything the members need. This includes plane tickets, hotel suites, meals, car rentals, etc. This effectively makes it so that TVXQ members do not have to spend a penny while under contract, but it does bind them to SME and prevents them from doing anything that would require large amounts of money (such as splitting from the SM label) without approval from SM. This has not affected the lawsuit at all, as neither TVXQ nor SM has said anything regarding the issue of pay.
5. Nowhere has there been a statement about disbandment or splitting. TVXQ members and SM have not said anything regarding the issue. Mentions of Disbandment are just assumptions by the media and fans at large because of the lawsuit.
————————————————————–
Now, the rumors:
1. There has been fighting among TVXQ members which has caused talks of disbandment.
2. Junsu’s father was at the head of the preparations to sue SME when SM caught word of the pending lawsuit and proceeded to bully around Junsu.
3. TVXQ members responded on their Cyworld mini hompages with messages suggesting that disbandment was highly unlikely.
4. TVXQ is under the same situation as their predecessors, H.O.T. and Shinhwa (maybe even S.E.S.).
5. TVXQ is in this for the money.
Regarding the rumors:
1. No, there has not been ANY fighting among TVXQ members and this was clearly addressed in a previous article.
2. This still just a rumor and nothing has been confirmed, but many Korean bloggers have caught a hold of this specific issue and have been discussing, so there is still some validity.
3. Yes, this has been proven to be false. Contrary to popular belief however, allkpop never confirmed this was true and even stated that the pictures were most likely fake. Allkpop is trying to keep readers up to date with anything and everything that may arise about this situation. With hot issues like these, getting news up quickly is our first priority and when things are disproven, we will take measures to address the situation. We realize that this is a sensitive issue to many of our readers and we ask that you take everything that is not posted as cold hard facts with a grain of salt.
4. Although the whole situation may remind some people of what happened with H.O.T and Shinhwa, the circumstances are very different. Many people have many different opinions on this, but the situations are not parallel.
5. The insane split of profits with SM may have something to do with the pending lawsuit, but more than likely not. The 10-30% that TVXQ receives in profits is still more than the average upperclass American citizen makes in 10 years. More than likely, money has no part to play in this lawsuit.
————————————————————–
Lastly, speculation(NOTE: these are all predictions and outcomes that have been expressed by both the non-Korean AND Korean parties. Please take these with a grain of salt) :
1. TVXQ will leave the SM label and continue their promotions under a different or possibly independent label.
2. TVXQ will break up and SM will lose lots of money, possibly leading to a shutdown of the company.
Response to speculations:
1. At the current moment, this is the most popular outcome that most people agree upon. They believe that TVXQ will win this lawsuit, leave SM and start an independent label or sign with another big label such as JYP or YG. In my opinion, this is highly unlikely. The lawsuit has nothing to do with terminating TVXQ’s contract with SM. Along with that, SM has a lot of influence over MBC, KBS, and SBS and can easily prevent TVXQ from performing on any of their music shows and cause many hardships for TVXQ. This is what happened with Shinhwa. On the other hand, TVXQ is arguably THE hottest band in K-pop and promotions aren’t necessarily needed in order to sell albums.
2. This is, in my opinion, highly unlikely unless SM plays a part in breaking them up. There is no proof that any of the members have any beef with one another. This is just an outcome that anti-fans have come up with to dishearten others.
————————————————————–
Hopefully this article cleared up any and all confusions regarding that matter. Please remember that anything not listed as a fact is based on rumors alone and that they may turn out to be true or may turn out to be completely false. Stay tuned to allkpop and we’ll keep you up do date with the situation as more details leak out.

I’m in line with them. I know it’s not good thing, but it’s for justice. TVXQ just 5 boys who need freedom, justice, and privacy!!! They aren’t money machine!!!
but in other hand I know if SM need to do it for some reason which we don’t know what is that~ maybe for more profit…
