Portrait of You

One year and seven months and then three months

Another eleven months and then today......


2008. 12. 29 SBS Gayo Daejun
Our happy three months together were too short for us
We did not know that the 'goodbye' we said to them then would be so long
and we sent them to Japan once more


It was so strange to see a stage without them
It was so strange to see a stage with only three of them
It was so strange to see them moving around separately
It was even so strange to see them so exhausted and worn out
that I became exhausted and worn out as well



If we had known that this 'goodbye' would last so long
We would have held on to them and told them not to go.
We didn't know that this 'goodbye' would last so long
so we let them leave like that



The top star loved by 1.5 billion Asians
Recorded in the Guiness Book of World Records for Most Photographed Singer
Recorded in the Guiness Book of World Records for for an 800,000 member fanclub
Ranked 1st on the Oricon Weekly Chart six consecutive times
BEST ASIA STAR



I sincerely hope that the 'goodbye' we said, is a 'temporary goodbye',
not a 'goodbye forever'
Why is it that whenever we say 'goodbye',
we have to say 'goodbye' for so long
'I should have just liked a singer who performs only domestically'
There are times when thoughts like that cross my mind
but then I curse myself for thinking such things



I think this is the first time I've ever wanted
to see all five of them together so bad
Before, I used to wish that I could see at least one member
But now I want to see all five of them together

I hope that they are together right now, laughing and smiling


Yunho and Changmin.......................
who probably have it harder than Yoochun, Jaejoong and Junsu
All I hope for is that they are not hurting
I hope that our leader and our maknae are not hurting


Our six years
Five years full of hardships, yet happiness
It's only been six years
They've finally become six-year seniors
But it is so hard for them right now
This year has been so hard for all of us

Like how the sky brightens after rain
I hope that next year, in 2010, they will be happy


ChunJaeSu, HoMin
You ask who the traitor is?
If we had to pick out a traitor,
that traitor is you
By dividing ChunJaeSu and HoMin up to see who the traitor is,
you have become the traitor
When did we start dividing and calling them ChunJaeSu and HoMin?
Don't waste your time trying to figure out who the traitor is
If you really want to know who the traitor is,
think of whether or not you are the real traitor for even trying to find a traitor
All they are is the five member group TVXQ

You may be divided into ChunJaeSu fans and HoMin fans now and arguing about who the traitor is
but when they return, as if nothing had happened,
you'll shout 'TVXQ, we love you'.

If you're going to be like that, don't call yourself a Cassiopeia and go to some other fandom


They do not give me a chance to even let my mind wander or get sick of them
Jung Yunho. Kim Jaejoong. Park Yoochun. Kim Junsu. Shim Changmin

TVXQ members Youngwoong Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu and Micky Yoochun showed up at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) as promised and delivered a very heartwarming acceptance speech.

On the 21st, TVXQ was awarded the "Best Representative for Asia" award.

Xiah Junsu stated:

"It's been a long time. It's an honor just to be able to attend such a huge event, but being able to receive an award, thank you so much. This award is not for one single member, but because all 5 members have put forth so much effort we are able to receive it. Thank you so much to all of our fans in Asia for allowing us to receive such a huge award."



Micky Yoochun stated:

"I think this is the first time I've wanted to sing so badly. After becoming a singer, I was able to meet such great members, that's why I think we are able to be here. We will work even harder to expand beyond Asia. We hope for even more support than now."



Youngwoong Jaejoong stated:

"I can't be happier because this award is coming directly from the fans of Asia. To our fans who are watching and possibly our two friends who are watching, I wanted to say that I love you."




Although Changmin and Yunho were unable to attend due to SM Entertainment's boycott of the MAMA's, all three members, especially Jaejoong made it clear that TVXQ is still as close as ever.

We previously reported about Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun's reaction to SM Entertainment's press conference. The full interview and statements from the 3 TVXQ members have now been revealed. Both parties are now in a full on battle and have added yet another layer of complexity to this already complicated story.

Q: Yunho and Changmin are still with SME.

"That is very unfortunate. SME offers unacceptable conditions to their artists. It breaks our hearts to know that Yunho and Changmin are still there."



Q: You have partially won the trial. How do you feel about your victory?"

"We're more worried about how Yunho and Changmin would feel confused about the ruling. They must have thought that SME, a major entertainment company, would win."



Q: Yesterday, Yunho and Changmin showed their support for SME.

"They can't help but do such thing. They have to do something like that because they're with SME. We've done a lot of things we didn't want to do as well, because we were forced."



Q: How are you finding their decision?

"It'd be a lie if we didn't find it somewhat bitter. But we know that they have their own story, so we understand them."



Q: What do you plan on earning through this lawsuit?"

"All we want is to part from SME. The contracts were unfair, especially the length of 13 years. Division of profit was problematic as well. The three of us have yet to receive our share of income amounting up to couple hundred thousand dollars each."



Q: Some view the lawsuit as the end of DBSK?

"We do not want to cease working as or break apart from DBSK. We just want to end our relationship with SME."



Q: Are you in contact with Yunho or Changmin?

"We lost contact with them after we took legal actions. But we can assume why that would have happened."



Q: How do you plan on maintaining your relationship with those two members?

"If they have something that is holding them back from talking to us, then we will fight to change that. They will speak up when the time comes."

Q: So you are willing to stay together with two other members?

"When this whole thing is over, we will resolve our misunderstandings with the two. We will wait for that day."



Q: Any plans on working as three?

"We will not release an album or perform on stage until Yunho and Changmin comes back to us."



Q: Are you going to stay together until the end with the other members?

"We want to keep DBSK. The stage means something only when all five of us are on it. We are one. We will walk in the name of DBSK until the end."



Stay tuned to allkpop for more developments.

TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki Members Hero Jaejoong, Xiah Junsu, and Micky Yoochun recently held a phone interview with Sports Seoul and shared their feelings about the press conference held by SM Entertainment.

In the press conference, SM Entertainment said that the root cause of all this trouble was the investment into the Chinese cosmetic company. During the phone interview with Sports Seoul, the trio of Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun stated that they watched the press conference together. They had issues that SM Entertainment stated the root cause was with the investment into the cosmetic company. They state that this cosmetic issue has nothing to do with the suspension of exclusive contract as their activities as TVXQ are more important than a cosmetic company. They also stated that they pulled out of the cosmetic company to avoid controversy. They did admit that the cosmetic company controversy played some part into their decision for the suspension of the exclusive contract but emphasized once again that they pulled out of the company.

The trio also stated that having TVXQ continue together is the most important goal but SM Entertainment abused their position in authority and have cheated them out of billions of won (millions of dollars). They stated that they're worried about their fans and that the fans will be the ones suffering the most through this trial. They closed their conversation by stating they will discuss the next steps with their lawyers and proceed from there.

After everything that has happened tonight, many are waiting for the official words from SM Entertainment, and allkpop is first to bring you the statements from a press conference that just took place!

The entertainment company held a press conference today and told their side of the story regarding their legal dispute with three members of TVXQ/DBSK. In addition to a statement by Yunho and Changmin, the two members who did not take legal actions against SME, and statements by their fathers, SME's own representatives spoke up as well; Mr. Kim Young Min, the CEO of the company, stated the following.

Back when we first advanced to Japanese market with S.E.S., major entertainment companies in Japan normally asked for contracts in length from 5 to 7 years. As long as the entertainer stayed with the company for the stated amount of time, the company would not cease investment into the entertainer. When we first planned for BoA to work in Japan, we set the length of the contract at 10 years to allow for long-term investment and a partnership with a major Japanese entertainment company. This resulted in SME working with AVEX, the largest entertainment company in Japan. BoA's great success in Japan was a product of such planning.

When we first planned for DBSK, we wanted to make them the number one artist in Asia. Five members and their parents shared such vision and agreed to add 3 years to initial 10 year contract. The members and their parents agreed to the contract because they found the vision as the number one artist in Asia, constant support from SM, plans to go abroad and continuous investment into the group very appealing. Everyone thoroughly reviewed the contract and agreed to all clauses. To keep the promise of advancement into Japan, SME invested over $4 mil into DBSK despite poor financial condition that the company was in. After 5 years in Japan, we can finally say that we are successful. It is unfair to focus merely on the number 13 without any background knowledge of how the contract was made and the goals and visions shared between SME and DBSK.



Kim Young Min then revealed some startling events that had occurred earlier this year.

On January 6, 2009, the three members told SM that they were going to China for a vacation; but in fact, they attended a meeting with the beauty product company's Chinese subsidiary to talk about investment into the company. We only realized of the deal after photos of them promoting the company surfaced online. We then learned that the three members are board members of the Chinese subsidiary and that they even carry business cards of the company with their name and position engraved.

The three members demanded an increase in their share in profit and we accepted their demands. In April, we had a dinner party after our concert in China. The three members told members of other groups about how much they trusted in SM. Shortly after in May, a Japanese fan asked AVEX's customer service department regarding an event by the beauty product company which claimed that the winner would have dinner with DBSK. SME feared that losses resulting from matters related to the beauty product business would be impossible to recover from. We wanted to review the members' contracts with the beauty product company to protect the members from potential dangers but they refused to share the contract with SME and did not take any actions to relieve SME from our concerns regarding their investment into that company. In June, a major beauty product company contacted us and said that they wanted to use DBSK in their commercials but the three members refused due to their own interest in beauty product business. Shortly after they took legal actions against SME.

The truth face of their action is a fraud. A fraud which fooled the entire nation with words such as "human rights" and "slavery".

Regarding the recent court ruling; three members are now free to pursue personal projects, however all DBSK-related work must be done through SME. Yunho and Changmin intend to promote DBSK in Korea next spring, and we feel that it should be planned at least six months in advance. SME asks the three members to respond to this by November 12th.



With allegations against them coming from the two members, their parents and SME, the other three members are sure to defend themselves from these claims. Stay tuned to allkpop as dispute deepens. Also check out OneTVXQ Forums, the #1 international forum for the group.
