Twitter is abuzz with excited people talking about the prospect of a JYJ (Jejung, Yuchun, Junsu) fanmeeting in Malaysia and Thailand.

According to translated reports, Redstar Presents — a KPop even organizer in Malaysia — is saying that the trio will be coming to Malaysia for their “fan meeting tour” on October 16.  The scheduled venue is supposedly the Mid Valley Convention Center from 7pm to 9:30pm. 

There is also rumor about another fanmeeting Oct 15 at the Nimibutr Gymnasium National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

As far as I can find, there hasn’t been a direct statement from the guys’ representatives directly releasing details about this.  If official information directly from the guys has be released but I just haven’t found it yet, my apologies.

Avex, Avex, Avex. Haven’t they learned anything from the fight between JJY (Junsu, Jejung and Yuchun) and their Korean agency SM Entertainment?  According to translated reports, the answer is no. (And my commentary below will be based on the translated reports. If something changes, I’ll let ya know.)

The news flying all over the internet is that AVEX — the agency many fans including myself thought they could trust to at least give the three members a fair shake — apparently wanted more than the trio could give when they sought to change the terms of their contract with the three members.

Junsu, Jejung and Yuchun are (were?) riding a massive wave of success in the Japanese market with their latest mini-album titled “The…” debuting at #1 on the Oricon WEEKLY charts and moving almost 140,000 copies in the midst of slump in the Japanese market.  Jejung was chosen as the costar in a high profile video for one of the most popular and well known Japanese artists in Japan, Ayumi.  And their LIVE DVD from their ‘Thanksgiving’ concerts in DOME also shot to #1 on the DVD sales chart in Japan.

Through all of this, they never publicly complained about anything. But in actuality, the trio apparently were going through a rough time with AVEX in Japan comparable to the terrible time they are having with SM in Korea.

The attorney for the three members has slammed AVEX for  trying to hold the past of their management company’s leader against them.  AVEX was trying to take full control over their schedules and apparently wanted to change how much money AVEX would get.  This whole dust up seemed to occur because they didn’t get what the wanted.  Here’s the report from their legal spokesperson:


[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.”
