Eunhyuk–petty or generous?
Eunhyuk: Actually, I’m a generous person. Let me tell you how generous I am.
Leeteuk: How are you generous?
Eunhyuk: Just listen to me. Before, my girlfriend and her friend were singing at a KTV, and wanted me to come. I came when they were almost done. I sat there for 10 minutes and then went out first to pay the bill.
Leeteuk: How is this generous? Why’re you so petty to the members?
Eunhyuk: We haven’t gone to KTV’s…
Leeteuk: But don’t you have to pay first at KTV’s?
Eunhyuk: No, no….ah, is it pay-first?
Leeteuk: It’s pay-first. Why’re you lying?
Eunhyuk: The place I went is pay-later. Pay-later.
Leeteuk: No way. Before you sing, you have to decide how many hours you’re singing, and then pay.
Eunhyuk: No! The place I went really is pay-later T_T
Leeteuk: Why are you lying.
Eunhyuk: I’m really not lying!

[NEWS] The DBSK Situation, the Truth and Distortion (Interview with Acquaintance)

The future of idol group DBSK is uncertain. DBSK’s 3 members (Micky YooChun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejoong) and SM’s trouble is too deep. Although they state that there will be no disbandment, in reality, disbandment is more than likely. Even if they avoid the worst case scenario, disbandment, it feels like their departure of SM is set.

On the third, a acquaintance of the 3 members said, “settlement with SM has been tried multiple times. But their differences couldn’t be settled. The reason this went to court is because they couldn’t find a point to settle.” Thus, they concluded that more attempts for negotiations was useless.

The acquaintance that the reporter met is someone who has watched over DBSK very closely. He has experienced all ups and downs since debut until now. According to him, DBSK advocated for only one thing. They wanted conditions of the contract to be eased. However, it has gotten to a point where the conversations between the two parties have gone nowhere.

He stated, “they asked for the contract term and earnings distribution to be revised because everyone could tell it was irrational. They attempted to negotiate until the end but they felt that SM was avoiding them. Therefore, things got emotional for both parties and the 3 members are even more angry with SM’s response.”

[NEWS] SM Ent’s New Official Statement

TVXQ’s agency SM Entertainment has put forth another official statement to refute the one given by YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu’s side today.

SM sent their statement to various reporters at 8 o’clock on August 3rd and the content was full of points that refuted what Sejong had stated.

SM began off by responding to Sejong’s statement that there was a clause in the contract that stated that unless TVXQ sold 500K copies, they would not receive a single Won from the album sales. SME stated, “TVXQ has received, from when they debuted till now, a total of 11 billion Won (9.2 billion won given during the time + 1.77 billion won given beforehand) , luxury foreign cars (bonuses with no relevance to the contract). In contrast, SM Entertainment was in a deficit for four years after TVXQ’s debut. The opposition (Sejong) has disregarded the fact that income divisions from CFs, events, and other income sources differs depending on the overall economic situation. They are only focusing on one bad side of this contract instead of looking at it as a whole.”
