Director Lee Byung-hun, actress Han Hyo-joo and boy band TVXQ member Hero Jaejoong turned up at a press screening on Monday for “Postman”, the second of the telecinema projects where a Korean director, Japanese screenwriter and Hallyu stars have gotten together to produce a total of eight films.
In “Postman”, Hero plays Jae-joon, the postman from heaven, who delivers letters living people have written to their loved ones in heaven. He comes across Hana, played by Han, who writes a letter full of resentment to the dead man that she used to love, reveals his presence to her, and the two start writing responses to the letters for the saddened people who are left in the real world.
We will reveal the exclusive contract SM Entertainment holds with its celebrities. Although this contract is the one between TVXQ and SM, it can be inferred that it is almost a basis contract for all the others. Also, as SM stated that the income division for TVXQ was the best they offered, one can surmise that the content of the contracts of other groups such as Girls’ Generation, Super Junior etc. will be worse.
In the contract, it states that TVXQ must pay for all of the expenses required for their activities and this implies the wages for their managers and road managers. “TVXQ must pay for their travel fees and rent fees, as well as their meals, make up and coordinators’ wages, dance crew and any other stage crew costs. They must also pay for the wages of their managers’ monthly wages (The wages of the manager is 800,000 per month and the wages of road managers is 600,000 per month, and this increases by 10% every year.)”

Jaejoong and Han Hyo Joo appeared at a special press conference promoting Heaven’s Postman, the debut drama performance for the TVXQ member.
Despite going through a tough time with a dispute between 3 TVXQ members and their Korean management company (SM), Jaejoong made a brave showing.
He did reveal his nervousness at being in front of many cameras by himself (without his members) saying “It’s the first time I’ve stood in front of so many cameras alone.”
Anticipation for Heaven’s Postman starring Jaejoong is so high that it has already made it to first plce on the list for advance sales.
It’s 19.1% advanced sales rating marks its #1 spot on New Releases list of Korean movies.
Heaven’s Postman is the first dramatic role for the stunning 23 year old. His female costar is Han Hyo-joo (Brilliant Legacy).
