Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, the trio from TVXQ who formed a new group JYJ, will have to put a brake on their activities. SM Entertainment (henceforth SM) has filed for a temporary injunction to put a ban on the sale of JYJ’s new album 「The Beginning」.
On the 13th, an official from the legal circle clarified, “On SM’s part, they have filed for a temporary injunction with the courts to put a ban on the sale of JYJ’s worldwide album 「The Beginning」, which is waiting to be launched.” The official continued to say, “The reason (for this injunction) is because the issue of the exclusive contract between SM and JYJ and the conflict stemming from it have yet to be resolved. The results from the court decision will have a huge impact on JYJ’s activities.”
Since the end of July last year, JYJ have been at opposing ends with SM over issues like their exclusive contracts. As a matter of fact, currently, the trio are doing their solo activities and kicked-off their 「JYJ Worldwide Showcase」 on the 12th, at Hwajeong Tiger Dome, Korea University, Anam-dong, Seoul.

Think of both sides..
Never thought i’d see the day where i’d think of SM’s side of the story. But there will never be a right in a wrong situation..

SME’s just jealous that JYJ’s album got so many Pre-orders… (WAKA WAKA EH EH!!) LOL. BTW, SME got their other artists.. which they love MOAR! so why bother our boys…>..< U can kiss my ass SME!!!

Freakin SME always wanting the MONEY all for them and not let our boys benefit from their own hard work.. and also, why now? when jyj already had their showcase.. I guess SME realized that JYJ/TVXQ is still HUGE and brings LARGE IMPACT TO
FANS!!!..
By: Papiere on October 14, 2010

Is SM trying to ban the sale of the album worldwide or only in Korea? If it’s only Korea, Korean fans can purchase the album online and ship to Korea only. IF it’s a ban on the sale of album worldwide, I gonna burn down SM!

I personally don’t think SM will win this one. I highly doubt the America will give a crap as Warner is much more influential than SM. But then, again, legal issues can be a problem, so it’s not illogical that the album is banned in Korea. Who cares though, there’s something called the internet~
By: cat on October 14, 2010
at 12:19 am
I don’t think Korean courts have the power to ban sale of their albums everywhere in the world. But the problem is that they’re the album is to be released through warner music KOREA … so I’m really worried for them. If only they’d managed to get an international company to produce them
((
And really, I thought the temporary decision on their court case meant that SM couldn’t interfere with their indiv activities until the case was finally settled?? Then again, I’m not even sure if the boys were allowed to re-contract with the whole SM issue in limbo >>”

thats what i worried…
IF the court told jyj to pause their activity ‘now!’
thats also might effect their “world wide showcast”
omg…the ticket already sold
so IF this was canceled..
NOT ONLY;the fans might angry..
the organizers might take action toward JYJ…
and THIS might effect JYJ image…
DAMN SM!!!

if their showcases gets affected,im gonna be damm pissed !!
we just wants to see JYJ,why do they always have to get in between us cassies and our boys?!
By: YunJae on October 13, 2010
at 10:22 pm
They do this to JYJ and then what happens to HoMin? THEY DON’T EVEN GIVE THE 2 WORTHY PROJECTS.
My poor DBSK.
Seriously, with almost everyone trying to bring them down, they should make their own company.
Let’s see who’s gonna come first and negotiate for a collaboration. Jeez, lame.
By: soojin08 on October 13, 2010
at 10:23 pm
You can’t stop talent. I listened to the tracks on youtube…..this album’s gonna SELL.
SM is seriously gonna walk away from all this with a really bad image. The fans are only gonna support JYJ more now that SM shows more of its true colors. What happened with JTL can’t happen again today with the internet and all. So get a grip, SM, you don’t have the control that you once did, and you are only going to lose more with each day going by……you can’t stop talent, nor should you expect to, anyway. We are moving more and more towards the age where individual talent is going to be recognized and rewarded, no matter how traditional or collective the culture or country. People love JYJ. There’s a reason, and you can’t stop that, either.
The music is good. It’s going to stand for itself. My only concern is that the boys are under too much pressure, but honestly, I am PROUD of them. Making a stand for yourself and what you believe in is never an easy thing, and they are doing it. GO JYJ. You’ve got my respect. Laws change with time, but courage is timeless.

OMJG… Hopes it won’t…
SM won’t be success… Its a WORLDWIDE album, SM won’t be able to do anything to this, and I’m pretty confidence in their popularity~
Sometimes I worried about Yunnie and Minnie, how would they feel… Must be saddening for their brothers… T^T
By: cheeyanne on October 13, 2010

What the f*** is wrong with Sm? What the crap. They’re just jealous that jyj is doing so well without them. And though we shouldn’t care about Sm enough to care about it, but this will affect the boys! Everyone can see that they’re so exciting about bringing everyone their new album! And now this, I swear I will curse them to my grave, because they’re just pure evil people. What the he’ll, move in with life already and stop picking on jyj!
P.s can I ask something? Though Sm filed this injunction, is this confirmed? And even if the album us affected, the worldwide showcase isn’t right? The agencies can’t blame jyj for this, if they want to seek compensation or whatever, they should go straight to Sm!
Whatever Sm!!

talking abt greedyness? now looks who’s greedier?
if jyj succeeded they will take an action to cut,
but if jyj failed maybe they just sit down and laughing.
since yesterday, I already made my mind, me against all SME thingty. though I love some people (artistes) in SME but considering what sme did to jyj these couple of days, I think I will not turn my head to sme again. hope jyj will be stronger with all these obstacles.
now or never! jyj fighting!

You’re a shame for your country!
I said a while ago that I wanted the boys to succeed and for you to see them. I wanted you to see how much money you won’t get your hands on – and here it is.
You see now that we’re still here? You see their success?

I don’t think this will make the boys Worldwide Showcase affected a lot and SM will not win this case in court also. The boys before making this album consulted this with their lawyers and if this was against law they would not do it.
Please do you really think that after one year of law battle with SM they would now do something not consulting it with their lawyers first?
This is just SM poor way of deleting the release of the album in Korea and make Cass feel restless.
Not to mention that this album is released under well known american music company so I doubt they would sign with the boys if it was against the law >__>
I would just say SM is again using media play to make Cass feel insecure and use court to delay the release of the album >___>

sm just wants the money. doesn’t care about the people.
i think they aren’t able to stop the fans anyways. for me i will support jyj no matter what. -___- i seriously hate sm. if they just would give the boys what they wanted and let them be tvxq again they would make so much money. such a stubborn childish behaviour

Thank you for sharing.
By: aikawaii on October 14, 2010

SM=INSECURE. hahaha.
Why just now?
Can’t they just accept that JYJ can still be VERY successful even without them
and JYJ can be MORE successful outside SME..
which proves that what TVXQ members are now,
what they have now.. their fame and success is because of their talents and NOT just because of SME.
(who said that if not because of SME, they wouldn’t be known?)
for me, whatever entertainment company they work, they will still get known. it’s because of their VOICES.. not only with their looks. And Cassies aren’t weak..
We’ll still be supporting TVXQ no matter what.

Tsk Tsk SM. Your pathetic! Fangirls will be gunning for your asses now. They call the shots in Korea but in America they can forget it. I see this as nothing but a calculated move to force JYJ back to their company. They want to break them down so they will come crawling back. Well forget it!!! I’d rather see them happy from SM even with legal woes, then miserable in a place they don’t wish to be and slaves to a company that could care less about them. Shame on you SM for being so heartless and cruel.

They need to find another hobby and stop bothering the boys.
By: cryss on October 14, 2010
at 5:26 am
:/ seriously this was my worry from the beginning. And now it’s clear that SME probably had a whole lot to do with the Avex situation as well. I don’t know it SME even has a valid chance of getting the injunction but I really wish JYJ had gotten their cds to be released an international company so that SME couldn’t harass them in this manner. But you know what, they can still take a leaf out of Epik High’s books and go indie, setting up their own online shop for fans to buy from. That will do the trick.

SM, from the lyrics of Empty i give you:
Your heart is empty
And you’re so cold
You don’t care about you and I
Your heart is empty
You won’t let go
But I’m walkin’ out this life
Why can’t you let it go
Why can’t you let it go

SM tried to mess up SKKS’s OST just coz the trio were involved but it didn’t work.. This time, the monster’s trying to mess with their album and I say IT WON’T WORK. The more SM tries to drag the boys down, the more fans will support them.. Shove this fact right through your thick skull,will you SM.
These boys have been nothing but professional through it all.. They are working their assess off -their tears mingled with sweat, and fans see it. We acknowledge it. We appreciate it. We love them more each day because it. They asked us to keep the faith, and we hear them – loud and crystal clear… Nothing you do and say will make us turn our backs on them..Actions speak louder than words, and their actions definitely speak very well of them than your words do for you…
