[TRANS] 090901 Cassiopeia Started Second Round of Signature Petition

“The Effort of Fans Attracted Much Attention”

TVXQ's fans had started their second round of signature petition.

DNBN had announced that they would start their second round of signature petition on the 25th of August. They expressed that they will be focusing on ‘being against the inhuman slavery contract’ by SME. The signature exercise will be from the 26th of August until the 4th of September 2009 (10 days), and they planned on submitting this on the 8th of September 2009.

Cassiopeia had submitted their first signature petition regarding the lawsuit of Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun against SM Entertainment to the Seoul District Court last 20th of August at 14:40. The petition consists of the signatures of 121,073 people from an offline petition from the 12th to the 18th of August (6 days).

On the other hand, during the first hearing on the 21st of August at the Seoul Central District Civil Court, SM Entertainment and the three members of TVXQ had different points of view. As always, SM Entertainment focused on ‘attacking’ the cosmetics business that the members had invested in, while Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun's center of attention was the unlawful contract.

The representative lawyer from SM said, “Because of the lawsuit issue, it is estimated that SM Entertainment would lose 18 billion won internally and 150 billion won overseas, and being labeled as an ‘immoral company.’” The lawyer also emphasized that the lawsuit issue should focus on the cosmetics investment, as problems regarding the members' contract should take under the consideration SM's current situation. As for the problem of revealing all related documents of TVXQ's earnings, they stated that the boys are paid every six months, and every one of them had also signed the receipts.

However, the three members had a different POV. They once again emphasized that “The main focus of this lawsuit is the unlawful contract,” and they are not giving up yet. They also mentioned that “Even if they are not under the same company, they will go for activities together. They do not wish to disband nor be separated.” It seems like they are decided to separate from SM Entertainment.

On the other hand. the two parties expressed that they do not wish for TVXQ to disband. The Seoul District Court encouraged them to resolve this in good terms, so that there is a chance that this would be resolved peacefully. In addition to this, the Court stated, “As entertainers with the world's biggest fanclub, they should take into consideration their own responsibilities and the close relationship between the members. Hopefully this issue will be resolved peacefully.”

I also wonder the same thing about SM Japan..when they start to have SM Japan? hmm~

[waterballoon]

They have really good marketing... web version of making of CM & interview", this is interesting.

And yeah I thought it should be 50% for SM Korea, 50% for avex or something... >.>

[girl*]

I didn't even know SM Japan existed until now. It was established in 2001 apparently. SM Korea owns more than 93% of SMJ so it's basically one company, but SM's trying to make it seem like two seperate ones so they could double their profits from Tohoshinki's activities in Japan, thus leaving the group with an even smaller portion of their profits, which is incredibly unfair. I don't think SMJ really does anything since Avex handles all of Tohoshinki's activities.

here's ZOOM IN Super about their PINKY CM..
so funny!!!!!!!

Here is the translation anyway.
Junsu: “Changed Way
Yoochun: of Thinking”
(t/n: Shinki Itten is a phrase meaning to change, plus the sounds is the same as tohoSHINKI.)
Jaejoong: New
Changmin: Pinky
Yunho:!
Yunho: Please give me something to say!
Other 4: Please!
CM: New style PINKY!
(t/n “New style” is also the same pronunciation as SHINKI Itten and tohoSHINKI.

Junsu: “Changed Way
Yoochun: of Thinking”
Jaejoong: New
Changmin: Pinky
Yunho:! *BAM*

Female announcer: The only person that didn’t have anything to say was leader, Yunho. The members weren’t content with their acting so they filmed it over and over again, resulting in a filming time of 12 hours!

translated by: aly@dbsknights

girl*, yeah SM Japan and SME are the same person..why have to pretend to be two companies? gee~
yeap! i agree, i've read somewhere that the majority activities in Japan are controlled by avex, SME and even SM Japan don't do anything...

SM is evil~

Hmm... well I highly doubt SM Japan has ANYTHING to do with Tohoshinki since their management in Japan is avex... I hope Max really owns this useless company flat!

I'm watching one of the AADBSK3 DVD now~ the part where they talked about their dogs~ cute~~

[waterballoon]

^ I want to be XIAHKY lol you know his mouth was at Junsu's crotch at one part, and Junsu KISSED him at the end!

Anyway, Jae is certainly pretty to me, but he's so muscular too... I heard he influenced the others to go to the gym or something lol.

[AyUmIXx]

waterballoon, haha Junsu loves Shaki very very much..
he keeps on kissing Shaki haha so cuteee~~~~
and i LOL when the dog almost slipped haha

haha Jae? not pretty anymore... if compared to the first debuted Jae...

his muscular body has made him manly..and i love that he's working on his muscles~

[News] Chariman of Cosmetics Company that is Suing SM: “It’s just a simple financial investment.”

I summarized the news, coz believe me, if it’s quite boring, lol
I tried my best to simplify the words



“The three members of DBSK, each invests about ₩ 70 million, 60 million, and 40 million.”

The CEO of CREBEAU cosmetics company, Kang Seok-won met SM representative Kim Young-min on the 4th at Seoul central district prosecution office for defamation issue has been accused to SM.

Earlier on the 2nd, he met reporters at the company headquarter in Seocho, Seoul. “The case here is about the long-term distribution contract that reveals an unfair distribution income. However, SM Entertainment distorted the nature of dispute and pointed our company as the main cause.” He puked a resentment.

“Since last July, SM requested a content certification by fact-checking the investment information about DBSK members who invest in our company. The members are only investors. There’s no such intellectual property involved in which SM has been concerning about. We have enough stated our position without distorting the truth. The announcement about members’ investment information has been passed.”

This is what DBSK members’ investment is about. According to Kang Seok-won on the 4th, each member invested about 70 million, 60 million, and 40 million won. Simply by seeing from the equity ratio, they won’t be able to participate in company’s management.

Kang explained further, “SM officials had visited our office in China twice last May for the purpose of investigating pictures rights that are used on the product sold. Those (SM) people need to cross check their facts and stop distorting the nature of the case. It’s an irrelevant asserts and they’ll only find faults in their investigation.”

About the rumor that ‘members investing in cosmetics business was allowed by SM’, Kang said, “The members said directly themselves, ‘if we’re not allowed to invest here, there won’t be any possibility of us to invest at all.’”

T/N: Equity ratio is amount of investment divided by total company equity. Unless one’s investment reaches 20% – 50% of company’s total equity, they won’t have significant control over company’s policies.

[waterballoon]

lol but I think Yunho is the most muscular (and dances the best)... hmm

oh on the video, about the comment about Been So Long, I was like >.> when Jae said it's hard to sing high notes, and he's a man having to sing a woman's key, cos I was thinking... I need to use falsetto to even reach his notes in his songs! XD

[AyUmIXx]

^

hahaha i think Yunho also has great muscles too..but i still think Jae still the best because he has broad shoulders~ and that makes his body look more firmed~
Yunho sure dances the best, he's a dancer right from the start, he was featuring in one Korean Female singer, Dana of S.E.S before he debuted with TVXQ..
but somehow, i think his dancing skill is a bit girly, in some songs though~
as for greatest dancer, i would choose Junsu~

haha lol~ yeah, Jae has always sung the highest note in any of their songs.. maybe that's the highest song that he ever sang? because i've never heard him sing that high before~

[waterballoon]

Yeah Junsu is a good dancer! He's quite fluid. And I KNOW RIGHT lol Yunho does some weird poses sometimes... hmm.

And yeah again, Jae is the soprano... I'm really envious of his range, haha.

[AyUmIXx]

^

yea, it's hard to sing that high for boys, probably Keita from w-inds. is the only one can beat him haha, that guy also can sing 8 octave or something like that.. both are now also bestfriends haha

anyway, have u listened to Jae's solo MAZE?
he sounded awesome there..very rockish.. remind of those Laruku kind of Japanese bands~

[waterballoon]

Yeah I thought MAZE was one of the best songs from the TRICK projects! It's such a cool song!
