One of Asia’s biggest group Dong Bang Shin Ki, has 3 of its members in a possible lawsuit against their own company SM Entertainment.
Dong Bang Shin Ki members Xiah JunSu, Micky YooChun and Hero JaeJoong had gone to Seoul Central District Court to hand in an application for provisional disposition to terminate all effects of their exclusive belonging rights contract with SM on 31st July.
It has been known that their reasons for doing so is that the contract with SM Entertainment has many irrelevant conditions attached. It is also known that the content to the contract the 3 members cannot agree to includes having them belonging exclusively to SM Entertainment for 13 years and also unhappiness over profit allocation.
The lawyer responsible for this case said, “We are currently preparing for a lawsuit against SM for this contract. (About the reasons to why) We cannot reveal the details now.”
There has also been saying that the 3 members have differing views to SM on their upcoming ‘Dong Bang Shin Ki cosmetic enterprise expansion’.
Currently out of the 3 members, JunSu is already doing a cosmetic business with his parents. It is said that there were plans for the company to operate a cosmetic business, with sheep placenta as the main ingredient, using the group’s name as the brand name in Seoul GangNam and GyeongGiDo IlSan. It is said that there were also plans for the business to be launched in China bringing in hundreds millions KRW in profit.
But it has been said that the 2 sides are having some differing views and also complications arose through their discussion on how the product and brand will go.
Follow up #1:
What will happen to the 3 members’ activities scheduled for Dong Bang Shin Ki? there is the upcoming SMTown Live 09 on 16th August. It seems that the members may not be appearing for the concert with their lawsuit with the company.
Especially with all the rumours lately about ‘disbanding of Dong Bang Shin Ki’. To add on, one of the 3 members’ parents have also established their won entertainment company in China.
Fans are also very taken back by this incident. Many have voiced their disbeliefs on various discussion forums.
Follow up #2:
One of the Korean new media No Cut News has known through phone call from SM that SM said, “We are aware that some of the (DBSK) members have some disagreements with the company, but we do not know that they have sparked a lawsuit wth the company. The director board of the company is currently having an urgent meeting in an undisclosed place in Seoul to discuss about their countermeasures.”
They also added, “We will have our official stand asap”.

I read this elsewhere as well. I’m really nervous about it. I’m hoping SM will drop the exclusive clause because it’s about time SM learned to treat their artists better! I think most of the disbanding and not performing stuff is all hot air to make SM worried, but in the end it’s making me worry very much because it things get extreme, it just might happen.

Yes,im totally shocked.
OK,we’ll wait for the official news. Hope it’d be good news for all of us (both the boys and us and sm… i dunno)
i’m stunning now T T

I don’t think they’ll break up..
SM Entertainment has a long history of disagreements with the artists they manage like H.O.T., Shinhwa..and it often was because of money…so this is not surprising…
Shinhwa also sued SM in the past…and SM Entertainment even sued them for copyright issues, saying that if they were to transfer to another company they should change their name Shinhwa because SM owns the name…but even after all those controversies Shinhwa is still together now…
and I’m praying the boys would stay together and hopefully won’t experience a long court battle with SM..
thanks for sharing…

i. dont. believe. this!! arg!! damn lee soo man is at it again!!!!!! he did the same thing to shinhwa few years back and hes doing it to our DBSK?!?! how could that monster… no demon do that to our DBSK oppas?!?!?! what the fuck is his problem!!! a retarded grampa who is close to his 60s is acting like as if sm is just a joke and that the “slaves” of it are like some toys you can throw away as soon as you see a better one!! what the fuck!!! wow… im getting worked up over someone wh doesnt matter and goddamn bit to me. hes not worth getting upset over… is he??
but the main thing is… he wants DBSK disbanded… and… do you know what would happen if DBSK is gone? it means all of the best kpop things are gonna like disappear… like that… and technically, the majority of the fans will either go into depression and/or suicide… i can just see it… and i bet you can too…
we need to do something about this bitch lee soo man… we need to cure this world of cruel “masters”… starting with lee soo man… and north korea’s president

oh guys… i just realized this… if DBSK disbands, then they leave SM, right… then they can go to YG or JYP and start another DBSK thing… and they have the right to keep their band name… cuz SM gave them two really retarded names and then one of the DBSK members was like “hey! i got it! how about DBSK??” and then SM was like whatever keep the name DBSK for all we care. so they can keep the name, sign a contract with YG or JYP (i think JYP is better… the chairman of JYP is just like wow… completely nice and completely supportive…
) and then there they are, even more popular… problem solved… i think… :/

whatever happens.. i will support you guys.. whether or not u get disbanded as long as you guys are happy.. its OK with me..

I JUST HAPPENED TO COME ACROSS THIS. SERIOUSLY.
luckily i didn’t know anything about DBSK back then in July 2009 when this happened. Or else, i really don’t know what i would have done out of my craziness.
More than 1 year has passed since then. And it seems the “impossible” back then has become the “possible”…….
guess we’ll never know what hold in future for all of us…
haizz. suddenly feel like talking nonsense….
