[TRANS] 091109 Eriko Kitagawa's Blog Update

Feel free to repost, but please leave the full credits intact. Thanks!

I just received a telephone call from Jaejoong!
Today seems to be the first release date? (press conference date?) for the movie “Heaven’s Postman”. (I couldn’t catch all the words because the conversation was in both Korean and Japanese, mixed language!) He said that the movie had received a good reputation. (He said something as the tickets sold in advance were all sold out, maybe…)

Anyway, I talked with the Producer Mr. Jang, the Movie director Mr. Lee Hyung Min, and Jaejoong (who is taking the leading role). But I couldn’t remember in details, since I was so excited!

It seems that the press impression was good.
WOW~! I am so delighted to know that the movie has received such a good reputation in Korea!
I did not understand, but I thought I heard the word No. 1. (What is No 1? I thought I heard the word…)

I’m sorry for this very vague report.
But it is true I’ve heard that the movie had received a good reputation, and that the producer, the movie director, and the leading actor were all in high spirits..
Wonderful, just wonderful.

I said to Jaejoong “I am now carrying on a campaign in Japan. I want everyone to see this movie in Japan, too.” Jaejoong already knew the facts. OMG, Jaejoong knows about this blog.

I am now a little bit frightened…
It seems to be a big deal now.
Well, I’ve prepared myself for it!

T/N: Eriko Kitagawa is the original screenwriter for this movie. You can see in the article junsulv posted a few days ago, http://www.onetvxq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6786, that Kitagawa has been collecting fans’ comments for the possibility of the movie’s release in Japan. I just checked the related article, and there were over 28000 comments, all requesting the movie’s release in Japan! And for the article I am now translating, there are 567 comments up to this time, even though the article was posted only about 3 and a half hours ago.

^OMG tickets are already SOLD OUT????!!!! thats,,, amazing :thud

i dont mind eyeliner on men :lech

and LMAO at SM :roflmao FAIL!!!!

one more interesting article..
and i hope it's really true that SME has finally realized that they are wrong

[TRANS] 091104 Unlawful Contract Controversy SM Ent, Will They Change Their Stance?

At the press conference, SM representative Kim Young Min stated, "If the law or the government sets new standards for exclusive contracts, we will actively follow these."

"If the law sets new standards for exclusive contracts, then we will actively follow these standards."
SM Entertainment, which is caught in an unlawful contract controversy with one of its celebrities,is garnering attention for saying that as long as the law sets or a public organization authenticates the standards for exclusive contracts, the agency would be actively willing to follow such standards.

At the press conference at the 63 Building in Seoul on the 2nd, SM representative Kim Young Min stated, "We would like the political offices related to this industry such as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Fair Trade Committee, and National Assembly to come together to create new standards for exclusive contracts that will be set by the law or have public organizations authenticate the standards so that these standards are accepted by the law." He also stated, "(If the standards are made in such a way,) SM is actively willing to follow these standards."

Kim continued on by promising that, "If these new standards are accepted by the law, SM will change all of its contracts with its artistes to adhere to the new standards."

Kim also said, "Unless there are contract standards that protect the people involved by law from the time the contract is made until the contract is terminated, and unless such standards are followed, the confusion that is happening currently will only repeat itself."

"If they don't want their words to be empty words, they must secure their sincerity... Follow the recommendations from the Fair Trade Committee first."

But organizations and the public are split over what SM has said. Professor Lee Dong Yeon of the Korean National University of Arts stated, "For SM's declaration to not become empty words, they must prove their sincerity." Professor Lee also stated, "If we go by SM's theory, the current recommendations set by the Fair Trade Committee can be ignored as they do not have legal forced upon others, and SM would follow the news standards if they are legally forced upon the agency. This statement makes one suspicious of the agency's sincerity." Professor Lee also said, "If SM really has the thought of doing what they said they would, then they should adhere to the recommendations of the Fair Trade Committee first and then follow any new standards that are set by the law."

"There is a need to work on respecting the rights of celebrities as well as an effort by the agency to change."

SM Entertainment's President Kim Young Min stated at the press conference held on the 2nd that, "SM has changed clauses regarding compensation and contract period three times in 2002, 2007 and 2008 with the corrective actions and recommendations of the Fair Trade Committee," and "It is absurd to say that such a contract that has been fixed numerous times is called a 'human rights violating,' 'slave contract' and 'antisocial contract'."

However there is retaliation to his statement that says, "If a contract that has been changed three times is in such a state, one can surmise just how bad the original contract was."

After the press conference, one fan said, "Although the root cause of this dispute is the unlawful contract and unfair treatment of the group, SM keeps attempting to draw people's attention away from the root cause," and "I want to ask them if they themselves think that the current contract is really fair and just."

Representative Kim Myung Shin of the Culture Yeon University stated, "There is a need to work on respecting the rights of celebrities as well as an effort by the agency to change," and "The agency itself must work to move our entertainment industry away from the perpendicular relationship it is in."

Representative Kim also said, "A large agency such as SM has the responsibility to set an example as it greatly contributes to mass culture in Korea," and "I hope they show us a mature side that sincerely thinks over this situation and accepts their responsibility to further the development of the Koran entertainment industry."

She also said, "I hope this dispute does not stop as an argument between a large agency and its celebrity, but moves on to be a stepping stone towards a better management system that protects the rights of celebrities, creates fair contracts and has transparent income division."

There are voices that say that in order for these wants to become reality, both the agency and the celebrity must come to a compromise that suits both sides.

Professor Lee stated, "In the view of the agency, it must stop seeing its celebrities as mere tools or products and must engage in a parallel and equal relationship. The celebrity must move away from thinking of personal profit and must think about improving the cultural content of the nation."

I have no idea. It hasn't been revealed.

[TRANS] 091108 There’s a need for respecting the artist and also the efforts from the company to clean its own name

[TRANS] 091108 There’s a need for respecting the artist and also the efforts from the company to clean its own name

SM Entertainment’s CEO Kim Young Min stated during a press conference, held on the second of November, that “In 2002, 2007, 2008, the company under the correct and impartial advice of the Exchange Commission had amended the exclusive contract damages and it had contained the time of the contract and also the contents" "Yet, after such an amendment of the contract, it had been described as ‘slave contract'"

But there were raised objections regarding the statement, "After three revisions of the contract yet it was still like this, then we could imagine how badly this contract was previously."

After the press meeting, a fan stated, "The nature of this incident is obviously unfair and an inappropriate treatment, SM has always been ambiguous” "How could they really believe that today's contract is legitimate and conventional?"

The new representative for the cultural development, Kim Myeong-Sin expressed his own views regarding this confusion, "There’s a need for respecting the artist and also the efforts from the company to clean its own name," "For the sake of our performing arts and cultural development to go further, it is required from the company's own efforts to develop a better contract, as well as practices and protocols."

Representative Kim stated “Such a large company like SM acts as the precursor for our country’s cultures." "I hope to see the industry recognize a real sense of responsibility, and to strive for reasonable contract practices and performing arts industry aiming for a common development."

Representative Kim also added "The entertainment industry should not treat this lawsuit as a legal dispute between artists and the company; it should be treated as a fight for the rights of the artists and the establishment of a reasonable distribution of income in a contractual relationship with a transparent structure and other advanced management system opportunity."

There were also people who expressed that with the complains that had emerged from the society, both the company and the artists are not gaining anything, they should work together to find the solutions regarding this matter.

Professor Lee Dong-Nyeon stated, "The company should not look at their artists from the perspective of goods or capital, but as collaborators and companions, artists should also be conscious that they should seek for the short-term self-interest and generate them into something which promotes the cultures."

^ nah 2 ballads in one single isnt that weird, happend in Bolero too, Bolero and wasurenaide :yes

ugh SM should just shut up and think about DBSK and the fans!

^
ah right, i just remembered BOLERO single..that's cool..
then we can hope that there will be two ballads on BREAK OUT!!

haha SM really... got owned so badly. I'm glad people are actually agreeing that SM is a ****ed up management company.

anyway, so this new single would have 2 ballads? I think Toki wo Tomete should be a given... such a beautiful song anyway. <3

I'm thinking BREAKOUT! and Toki wo tomete will be on the single. I want the third song to be a dance song, but then I also kinda don't because I want them to have a dance song as an A-side that way it'll get promoted.

BREAKOUT! sounds upbeat. Then again Toki wo Tomete was used in a CM so it can't really be a b-side. Maybe it'll be a triple a-side single.

Tokyograph describes BREAK OUT! as a "rhymtic pop tune". The single's already up for preorder on CDJapan.
