Korea’s popular group Tohoshinki, who is attending Kouhaku Uta Gassen for the second consecutive time in two years, also attended the rehearsals held on the 29th. In the midst of disbanding rumours, their rehearsal was not revealed to the press. The 5 members were unable to respond to interviews, and the mood was one of high alert.
On the Internet, fans have been expressing their worries – “This might be the last Kouhaku Uta Gassen where you can see all 5 of them together.” In the midst of that, the 5 members of Tohoshinki participated in the rehearsal held at NHK Hall, at 7pm, which was after the “interview period”.
Press coverage at the venue ended at 6pm. During the rehearsal, at the time when the press was shut out of the venue, an official from AVEX warded the queries of the media and only explained that “it was due to their schedules”. In the end, their stage was not revealed, the members could not meet the press, and there was a tense mood all around.
Tohoshinki will be attending the TBS 「Japan Record Awards」 on the 30th and TBS 「Countdown TV」 on the 31st. There has been no announcement for any schedule that will take place from 1 January onwards. The members arrived in Japan a few days ago, but AVEX declined to disclose whether they came together, as well as other similar queries.
Rumours of disbanding emerged in July when the 3 members, Jejung, Junsu and Yuchun, came into conflict with their management company over their exclusive contracts. They attracted a lot of overseas attention when the 5 of them did not perform together in Korea even once, after the outbreak of the conflict, but continued to appear on Japanese television. However, in the middle of this month, an event that was planned to be held in Japan in January (10 performaces) was suddenly cancelled, and the fan’s worries about their disbandment grew even more.
It has not been decided yet, as to whether or not they will be having promotions for the remaining contract they still have with 「Oronamin C Drink」, their new single 「BREAK OUT!」 which will be released on 27 January, and their ‘Best Album’ which will be released on 17 February.
The fans’ wish for the New Year is “peaceful settlement”. They’ll be keeping a close watch on whether or not the year-end performances will be their last.
T/N: The report may be true, but please keep in mind that this news source has a tendency to be rather sensationalistic.

That is my wish too in the first place since the lawsuit started. Raise ur white flag, SME.

I’m not surprised they are being prevented from any interviews cause all lawsuit questions will be bombarded to them.
Honestly, from then til now, since when we saw a group interview with them? This report is just trying to make news, as usual.
I’m just glad Avex is not making them on hiatus.

suddenly, I feel sick now. *so worried* whats with the no confirmation on the upcoming schedules? *sigh*

I don’t know about this. I just read as a source of information but I don’t take this news seriously.
I think that AVEX is doing the right thing in not responding or answering any question regards to the boys. Because, talking too much something is not good but just wait when the time is just right.
Anyway, hope the boys do well in both the awards attending and at kouhaku. Fighting!

i didn’t get it at first…
i meing why such a big deal that they rehears after the interview period and the fact that they didn’t give one????
and for everybody who obviously be worry this so call article completly sounds sensacionalistic!!!!!
“the five members were unable to respond to interviews and the mood was one of high alert”
and don’t forget “there was tension all around” i meing WTF it totally sounds that their security team didn’t let them talk to the press and the “tension” is probably because in a rehearsal everybody has to take things seriously…
is their job for godsake!!!!
always keep the faith!!!!
tvxq fighting!!!!

This makes me little irritated, how they’re basically becoming viewer/reader baits for newspapers and television programs…I shouldn’t say all, but I bet a number of them are milking at Cassie emotions to sell out their products…
its the holidays, can’t they let us enjoy it without shoving the “rumors of disbanding” in our faces??
By: EvilYou on December 30, 2009

this article makes me depressed..T_T I wish they would not make any assumptions based on what they did not see or hear. They just make fans worry which stirs up more trouble. I hope the boys are fine.. keep the faith!

hurm,i think that Shenzhen Mirotic cncert was after the lawsuit?but it’s before the court decision..am i right?so,this statement is wrong..correct me if i’m wrong..><
i feel a lil bit worried,but then i believe in my boys..^^
By: ryuu29 on December 30, 2009

Dear, I think they count Shenzhen concert as overseas activity. (It’s held in China, not Korea anyway.)
I don’t think there is more info in this news though. You know that afterall, they can’t do any interview with the reporters as a group. Surely, everyone would ask about the lawsuit which they can’t response at the moment.
As a fan, the best way is to keep the faith and be patient. Not much thing is on progress now. We have to wait until the lawsuit end. Just stick with their music and passion…you know that they are real…their bonds are real. That’s it!

I’m sure Avex has many things in store for the boys…I just hope SM lets Yunho and Minnie stay in Japan instead of having them back and forth like every 3 days >.< Minnie is really loosing weight!

Just sensationalised news…
Please check Toho website, they have new shchedule for MUSIC FIGHTER on 8th Jan. 2010. Think that’s their promo for Break out and I think they might arrived late for rehearsal due to schedule is true. Since Changmin is active in his solo drama, Avex will be accommodating to his schedule as much possible to attend tight schedule for promotion. Photo shoots, interviews for magazines, etc. I’m sure Avex is doing their best to promote them ^_^
Don’t give up & Always Keep the FAITH!!
