[NEWS] Avex talks about TVXQ’s revival and new K-pop contracts

Avex made some announcements on Wednesday regarding its contracts with several Korean artists, particularly TVXQ. That group, which has been on hiatus since April of this year, will be resuming activities with only two of its five members – Yunho and Changmin.

Contract issues led to a fallout between TVXQ’s members and their Korean management agency, SM Entertainment. Since April, the other three members of TVXQ – Junsu, Jejung, and Yuchun – have been signed with a different agency, and they have been performing under the name JYJ for several months. However, SM Entertainment stated that Yunho and Changmin “have not given up on the dream of TVXQ.” As a result, they will revive the TVXQ name in 2011.

Details of their activities are still unknown, but they are expected to restart in January. According to Sankei Sports, one source has said that a new song is already in production for a planned CD release in Japan.

Besides TVXQ, Avex has had contracts with two other SM Entertainment artists, BoA and J-Min, for several years. On Wednesday, they re-announced that they have completed exclusive contracts with two more artists, SUPER JUNIOR and f(x).

It was already revealed several weeks ago that SUPER JUNIOR will be holding three concerts at Yokohama Arena next February to accompany their debut release.

[TRANS] Japan Avex CEO masatomatsuura ‘s tweet about JYJ is creating a commotion

TVXQ’s members, Micky YooCheon, Xiah Junsu, Hero JaeJoong signed a contract with CJes Entertainment and thereby forming JYJ. On the 12th, they mark the start of their first World Tour Showcase at GoRyo University. After the end of the showcase, on the 13th, masatomatsuura posted a tweet at his twitter page saying “I opened my heart and spoke to them but I was betrayed like nothing happened. It’s important to have trust. Especially when you’re in such an industry, trust is a must. I had wished that I can speak of the matters someday.” Adding on he tweeted “Losing is winning. Even it is so now, someday things will change. The strength that allows me to endure such humiliation is perseverance and training. Someday, I will tell these stuck-ups off. Because I will not lose in the end. I’m just talking to myself.” And he added, “If there’s no pain, it’s not interesting.”

For JYJ fans who have seen those messages, they replied harsh messages like “I start to hate Japan.”, “JYJ is so pitiful”, “Bad guy” [this word is not very pleasant in Korean.] But masatomatsuura replied saying “You’ll get your retribution.” “Please be careful of what you say.” With that, a fight of resentment has started.

AVEX has expressed on the 16th sept that because of the law issues that CJes is involved in and the on-going contract issues with SME, AVEX has used these reasons to express that they will stop JYJ’s activities in Japan. With that JYJ expressed on 17th Sep that “we have no intentions to stop our activities in Japan and we had abided with all our contract terms faithfully. But from a few months back onwards, AVEX has started to stress that the contract terms were unreasonable and one-sidedly decided to stop the contract and even issued released news saying that we will be stopping our activities.”

[NEWS] 100930 Avex's split with JYJ - An act of submission?

On September 27th, a news article by Japan’s Asahi News, titled, “DBSK’s comeback potential“, speculated that Avex dropped promotional activities with JYJ because their contract with JYJ hindered Avex’s recruitment of other Korean stars. The article specified that Avex supported JYJ, but this caused a breakdown in relations between Avex and SM Entertainment to the point where the latter signed SNSD with Universal.

In summary, Aera, the author of the article, postulates that Avex split with JYJ as an act of submission to SM Entertainment and other Korean entertainment corporations.

Aera wrote, “It is commonly accepted in Korea that companies spend millions to train and promote artists from their early childhood. Korea’s entertainment business finds it inevitable that contracts must be of a certain length to guarantee profit. JYJ’s split from SM through legal proceedings put a huge scratch on the face of SM and Korea’s business. When Avex salvaged JYJ, it was a direct confrontation with SM.”

“When SNSD and KARA signed under Universal, and 2PM followed up with Sony, Avex had to consider the lack of fresh Korean recruitment. In the end, they opted to drop the immediately, but minimally profitable, JYJ for a chance to sign the new generation’s ‘DBSK’.”

Aera continued, “Just like in Korea, where fame is but an overinflated bubble, when DBSK broke up, their fame took a massive hit. Even in Japan, JYJ’s activities drew negatives comments such as, ‘money hungry dogs’, and other severe criticisms“.

Aera concluded by questioning whether JYJ has a bright future ahead.

While it wasn't specifically stated on the page, it is likely that the article was based on this

Also, the title of this article on akp was 'Avex dropped JYJ because of SNSD?' but this was changed because I really just couldn't see the relevance. So in case anyone is wondering, yes, this is the same post.

[NEWS] 100927 Fans concerned with Avex releasing JYJ products

TVXQ’s Japanese agency, Avex, has been under a bit of heat lately due to the release of a 2011 calendar featuring Jaejoong, Yuchun, and Junsu. The agency already declared that they would be halting all of JYJ’s activities for now, thus making fans wonder why their products are still being sold, if that was the case.

Avex began selling two versions of the JYJ 2011 calendar through music site “Mumo“. Fans who have supported the trio’s promotions are criticizing Avex as having double standards and being hypocritical. TVXQ fancafes and other entertainment forums have been posting criticisms like, “They’re just trying to steal profit.”

In their defence, Avex announced that all these products were already scheduled in advance and would be released regardless of the halt in activities. Yet the clarification is falling on deaf ears. “We are unable to understand why Avex would sell their products when they are not allowing them to promote,” fans said, “Why are they tying down JYJ if they’re going to continue selling their products?”

Avex halted the trio’s Japanese promotions on the 16th, making it impossible for them to continue promoting until their lawsuit with SM Entertainment reaches a conclusion.

Read from bottom to top

masatomatsuura Without limiting certain companies, to try and sign contracts, there are companies that will say completely different things. To the end, that is the common opinion. RT @a_milky: @masatomatsuura You already knew the actual condition of C-jes, so why did you still sign on JYJ?＞＜

masatomatsuura There are a lot of things I want to say. However, I will stop now. Although I’m sorry that among the Tohoshinki fans, there are people who feel displeased (t/n: precise meaning of the word is discomfort) with me, but can’t you please unfollow me? But of course, this is the individual’s freedom.

masatomatsuura From now on, for me, even if there’s anything, I will definitely not speak ill about them.

masatomatsuura Everyone, anyone, you’ve had the experience where you date someone and they turned out to be the worst, right? At that time, when you find out, if you said that it is wrong to swiftly change courses, then in the inevitable future, it might become something worse. However, making the decision is difficult. For this matter, I’m just talking about a general opinion and has nothing to do with Tohoshinki.

masatomatsuura The termination of the trio’s contracts does no good for the profit of sales and is a big blow to avex. However, as a socially responsible company listed on the stock exchange, this was the only choice we could make.

[NEWS] 100917 Three Members of TVXQ Face Setback in Japan

Three members of TVXQ, Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu and Hero Jaejoong, confront a fresh setback as its Japanese management agency Avex on Thursday decided to suspend all activities in Japan of the popular entertainers.


The surprising decision by Avex came just a week after the three members released an album in Japan last Wednesday, which stole the first slot on the Oricon Weekly Chart.

The latest development underscores the difficulties the stars face after the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the three members against SM Entertainment, over an allegedly unfair clause in their contract. Since the legal dispute, the three members have kept their presence in the Japanese entertainment market, with Avex the local agency for the breakaway group, excluding two other members.

The relations between the three members and Avex, however, turned out to be not so amicable as the Japanese agency abruptly announced on Thursday it will stop promoting and organizing events for them, citing concerns about the head of C-JES, a Korean management agency.

“In order to obey the morals of working principles in our company, we have decided we cannot continue the promotions of the three members in Japan,” said an Avex spokesperson Thursday.

Avex also mentioned the criminal record of the Korean agency’s chief in its press release, when announcing its decision to halt management services. However, a PR representative in Seoul for Yoochun, Junsu and Jaejoong told The Korea Herald on Friday that Avex aims to block the group from performing for Japanese fans by suspending the service, rather than scrapping the contract.

Unless Avex terminates the contract, the three members cannot sign a new deal with other Japanese management agencies.

The three celebrities, who have a huge following in Korea, Japan and elsewhere in Asia, strongly refuted Avex’s statement on Friday, saying that C-JES has nothing to do with a criminal organization. They acknowledged the president of C-JES had indeed got a criminal record, but said the rumor about his involvement with an organized crime ring is totally groundless.

The members continued to argue that Avex already knew the agency chief’s past record when the two parties signed their contract. Given the circumstances, Avex cannot use this as a reason to suspend their activities, the members said.

The key point of contention between the three members and Avex concern the terms of the contract. Avex called for a change to the details in it, which the members declined, claiming the new conditions were unfair. The TVXQ members said Avex’s move is simply to punish their refusal to agree to new terms.

¡¡ Avex also stated in the press release that although it suspends service for the three members, it holds the legal rights to serve as a management firm in Japan for TVXQ group, with the full five members, citing the valid contract with SM Entertainment.

“We need cooperation and attention from our fans,” the three members said in a statement. “We hope we will meet our fans as soon as possible.”

Im Sang-hyuk, a lawyer working for the Korean idol group members, said in a statement that Avex shouldn’t have put them in such a tight position. “I will put efforts into solving this problem so that the three members can resume their activities in Japan,” he said.

The three members of TVXQ filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment over the validity of their contract. They claimed that a 13-year contract was excessively long and that earnings were not distributed fairly among them.

[NEWS] Dong Bang Shin Ki’s temporal Japanese promotion suspension a worry for the ‘new Kpop hallyu’ in Japan

There has been great concern in Korea after news went out that Dong Bang Shin Ki trio Micky YooChun, Hero JaeJoong and Xiah JunSu had left their Japanese agency.

The news came directly from the trio’s Japanese agency AVEX Trax on 16th September, announcing the temporal suspension of the trio’s Japanese activities. With that on 17th September, the trio’s representative responded on 17th September that the report is an one-sided report from AVEX Trax and have posed the trio with adverse conditions.

Even though this is for the trio’s Japanese activities, there has been great interests coming from Korea’s side as well. This is because currently, we are looking at the ‘new hallyu’ by singers who are promoting in Japanese currently like Big Bang, Supernova, KARA, So Nyeo Shi Dae etc.

In fact, the chance success to be achieved by the girlgroups in the Japanese music scene is said to be high. At the same time, many of these singers’ local agencies are contacting Japanese agencies to work together for these group’s Japanese promotions. And with this news, there have been many eyebrows raised from officials in the Korean music industry.

This comes as somewhat a cold air amidst the Kpop fever going on in the Japanese music scene. Dong Bang Shin Ki has been acknowledged as the representative Korean singer in the Japanese music scene. And many of the Japanese fans of KARA and So Nyeo Shi Dae are also fans of Dong Bang Shin Ki. This would have some impact on the Korean management companies to work with more caution with their groups promoting in Japan.

An official from the music scene commented, “Dong Bang Shin Ki is the pillar and the co-existence to Kpop in Japan. Even though they have not been very active since last year, we cannot underestimate the power that comes with the name in Japan. It is not exaggerating to say that the Kpop ‘new hallyu’ are made by Dong Bang Shin Ki. There are worries that with the 3 leaving the Japanese music scene, it will be like cold wind amidst the hot fever of Kpop in Japan.”

If we were such a bad company, then all the artists in avex would have said that they wanted to leave. All I can say is….we’re just a good company. A company that doesn’t talk well I guess. The matter this time too, honestly we were the ones who suffered the most damages.

Everything we could do, we did. But, I don’t know why they still chose that person. And this was the result! It probably couldn’t be helped. If Baek has anti-social powers, we can only do this. For us, even until the end, we were asking them to choose avex. But, I don’t even know why I was rejected, I still love these 3 people.

Like it spilled out from the inside, these are not lies…. The above.

[TRANS] 100917 Interview With Trio’s Legal Spokesman Lawyer Lim Sang Hyuk

In an interview on the 17th, the trio’s legal spokesman and lawyer Lim Sang Hyuk revealed that, “Avex requested changes in the contract that the members found difficult to agree to in clauses regarding topics such as income distribution.”

Lawyer Lim Sang Hyuk also added, “At first, it was agreed that all activities performed by the three members would be scheduled and discussed by both sides, but Avex began asking for this to be changed so that Avex would have sole control of scheduling; Avex also requested additional changes that the trio felt were logically unacceptable”

Regarding Avex pinpointing the history of the head of C-JeS as the main reason for halting activities, Lawyer Lim explained that, “Mr. Baek, the head of C-JeS, willingly volunteered for his company to be excluded from the contract if his criminal record would become a problem, but Avex ignored such a notice,” and “Later, they deemed that it would be difficult to progress normally with Mr. Baek’s background.”

The TVXQ trio’s official statement said that, “Several months ago, Avex requested that C-JeS be excluded from the contract for such reasons, and the TVXQ trio agreed to such a request and actively participated in the discussions regarding the renewal of their contract with Avex in order to ensure that they would have smooth activities within Japan.”

Lawyer Lim stated, “When viewing the chain of events, there were many situations that could only be seen as Avex insisting that things go their way and their way only. If the opposition decides to retaliate, we will release additional information from our side.”

He also added that, “The essence of the current controversy is that an agency offered unfair conditions, contrary to what had been included in the previous contract, to their artistes. When these artistes refused to comply, the agency halted all activities, disregarding the members’ wishes,” and “It is disheartening to see that Avex is using the head of C-JeS, who is not affiliated with any gangs whatsoever, as a scapegoat to distract the media and public from the real problem.”

Lawyer Lim criticized that, “It is immoral to back the TVXQ trio, some of Korea’s most representative Hallyu stars, into a corner just because they cannot fulfill a company’s greed,” and strongly stressed that, “We will work hard to resolve this situation and allow the TVXQ trio to resume their activities in Japan.”

[TRANS] 100917 TVXQ Trio’s Official Statement On Avex’s Decision To Halt JYJ’s Japanese Activities

The TVXQ trio, Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu and YoungWoong Jaejoong, released the following official statement regarding Avex’s decision to halt the group’s activities in Japan.

1) The head of C-JeS has no ties to gangs whatsoever.

Though his previous conviction is true, it was not a verdict made regarding any ties with gangs. Avex was fully aware of this fact before their contract with the TVXQ trio was signed, and as this cannot be classified as a breach of the exclusive contract, it cannot become a reason to halt activities or cancel the contract.

Several months ago, Avex requested that C-JeS be excluded from the contract for such reasons, and the TVXQ trio agreed to such a request and actively participated in the discussions regarding the renewal of their contract with Avex in order to ensure that they would have smooth activities within Japan.

However, Avex put forth conditions that were unfair to the trio unlike their previous contract, and when the trio refused to accept such conditions, Avex stated the gang ties of the head of C-JeS as a reason for canceling the contract, and finally released an official notice stating that no more activities would occur.

While these details were being discussed, the TVXQ trio continued to diligently carry out all scheduled activities to keep their promise with their fans and worked hard to come to an agreement with Avex.

2) The victims of this situation are the TVXQ trio. Avex attempted to coerce the trio to comply to changes in the contract, but when the trio refused to agree to such conditions, Avex announced a halt in their activities with no regard to the trio’s opinions.

Since the signing of the contract with the trio till now, Avex has involved the TVXQ trio in various activities aimed at raising the agency’s income such as concerts, Xiah Junsu’s solo album, participation in another Avex singer’s music video, and the recent ‘The…’ album.

However, Avex has been putting forth unfair conditions to the TVXQ trio, contrary to what had been done in the past, for the past several months by using the past conviction of the head of C-JeS as a pretext, and when these conditions were rejected, Avex began discussions on canceling their contract and announced a halt in activities in order to corner the TVXQ trio.

This can be seen as Avex taking all the money that they can from the TVXQ trio and then proceeding to create a situation that makes it impossible for the trio to sign on with any other agency in Japan, thus blocking the trio’s path with regards to Japanese activities. The TVXQ trio had no intentions of stopping their activities in Japan, and the announcement made by Avex reflected only the thoughts of the agency themselves.

3) Avex has made an illogical statement that the contract between Avex and SM Entertainment regarding the five members of TVXQ is still valid though they would suspend Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu and YoungWoong Jaejoong’s contract.

Regarding this, Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu and YoungWoong Jaejoong stated that, “First of all, we are extremely sorry to have to bring our fans such news. Though we actively participated in discussions with Avex in order to come to an agreement, it is regrettable that an announcement to halt our activities in Japan had to be made. Due to this situation, we can’t shake the feeling that Avex used the three of us as money making tools rather than treating us like artistes.” They also stated, “We feel frustrated that we cannot promise our Japanese fans another meeting in the near future. We need active support and interest from our fans in order to resolve this situation. We hope to resume our activities in Japan and meet our fans again as soon as possible.”

Lawyer Lim Sang Hyuk of Sejong, the legal representative of the TVXQ trio, stated, “It is immoral to back the TVXQ trio, some of Korea’s most representative Hallyu stars, into a corner just because they cannot fulfill a company’s greed. We will work hard to resolve this situation and allow the TVXQ trio to resume their activities in Japan.”

Everything was my fault since I was in charge for it and for me being powerless. I feel that it should have been handled with more care. I am reflecting back and am feeling as a love that has ended. I am really sorry. But I will cling on and won’t give up on Tohoshinki to restart their activities. Without any stop I will work hard. Bye, I am very sorry.

I don’t know what to answer to the question ‘why did you get dumped’ for I am the one that got dumped. All I can say is that I didn’t have enough attractiveness. More over when Baek-san seems to be more appealing. I am feeling sorry that I couldn’t answer to your hopes. I will try harder to shine the company and myself.

I was powerless. I am sorry. And I feel bad for everyone who saw this a little bit. I believe that it would be rude if I tweeted about this on twitter so I stopped. They have done nothing wrong. But the people they chose are people we can’t have a relationship with. And we were dumped. By them that we love.

To whom it may concern:


Suspension of JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN's Activities in Japan

We would like to inform you that the Japanese activities of JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN, exclusive artists of Avex Entertainment Inc. (100% subsidiary of our company, head office in Minato district, Tokyo), will be suspended for the time being.

(Notice)

This is with regards to the reports that the representative of JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN's current Korean management agency, CJeS Entertainment Co., Ltd. Inc., whose father holds a high position in the mafia. The said representative has used his father's strength to blackmail artists and has served a term in prison, under charges of duress. We have therefore conducted a research for the facts.

According to the results, the relations with the mafia are unclear. However, all the other reports as written above have been proven to be true.

In addition to that, the procedure of the exclusive contract title for JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN is now under dispute in Korea. There is a high possibility that the exclusive contract itself between our company and the three will become void.

Our company places great importance in compliance and business policy in observing corporate ethics. We have decided to pause the management of their activities until these problems have been solved.

We highly regret that we have caused the fans that are supporting JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN great worry concerning the reports mentioned. Moreover, we appreciate your kind understanding to our company's decision as above.

Concerning the product releases and the services currently being provided, there will be no changes made. Additionally, there is no change to the exclusive contract of Tohoshinki (5 members), whose managed by SM Entertainment.

As we have consistently stated, we will, with all our might, give our support, so that Tohoshinki’s activities can be resumed.
