The reason for AVEX's behavior a few months ago towards JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) may have been revealed in a new official statement from the company.  AVEX's (Japan) renewed ties to SM (Korea) seem to be antithetical to supporting to JYJ.  It does appear to some observers that AVEX made the calculated business decision to block JYJ's rise in Japan in exchange for getting to represent other SM artists. 

The ultimatum from SM to AVEX may have been to either get the trio to give in, or to drop them completely.  The obvious penalty for continuing to support JYJ would have been that AVEX could lose out on the opportunity to represent other SM artists in Japan. 

According to the translated statement released in Japan, AVEX "will be executing exclusive contracts of Super Junior and f(x)", along with continuing to be the agency of choice for BoA and J-Min.  Also included in that list of AVEX-managed artists is "Tohoshinki".  But this won't be the Tohoshinki you're used to.  This new "Tohoshinki" will only include Yunho and Changmin, apparently.  All of these groups, in case you still haven't gotten it, are artists controlled... uh, owned... no, uh, signed to SM in Korea.

articlesHours after North Korea's deadly artillery attacks on Tuesday, South Korea's president said "enormous retaliation" is needed to stop Pyongyang's incitement, but international diplomats urgently appealed for restraint.

"The provocation this time can be regarded as an invasion of South Korean territory," President Lee Myung-bak said at the headquarters of the Joint Chiefs of Staff here, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

The incident -- in which two South Korean marines died -- is "the first direct artillery attack on South Korean territory since the Korean War ended in an armistice, not a formal peace treaty" in the 1950s, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. The United States has about 28,500 troops deployed in South Korea and are warily watching the situation.

Announcer:
You’ve finally made your debut in America. How do you feel right now?


Jaejoong: For me, should I say it’s somewhat similar to when we debuted in Japan? We’re introducing our own music through new words, to a new world, so I’m feeling really nervous.

Junsu: Although I’m really nervous about our American debut, but I’m even more nervous over speaking Japanese (for the first time) in such a long time.

Announcer: But your Japanese is really good… Your (debut) album… Although I think it must be great, how do you feel about the album?

Yoochun: My first thought was that I must work hard for this.

Jaejoong: I want to know as soon as possible what everyone feels as they listen to our songs.

Yoochun: Recently for me… it’s really painful but, I’ve been craving Japan’s tonkatsu ramen. (Jaesu laugh) It’s really painful…

Sometimes you have this nervous feeling…
The trembling of your body doesn’t mean you’re scared. It means you THRILLED.
That’s exactly how I was!
Even in the car ride to LA I was like OH EM GEE.
Arriving to the place where the concert was held was interesting.
There was so many people in line already and I was wanting to talk to all the Cassi’s!
Walking back in forth of the line to see my friend’s family there was so many people who recognized me from my you tube videos that were posted on DBSKnights.
Now I know how famous people feel when people want to take pictures with them !
About 20 people or so asked me to take pictures with them !
Since I was a VIP I was excited and didn’t know what was going to happen.
There was a surprise waiting for me ………
I got JYJ’s Special Edition “The Beginning” album autographed by all JYJ members !
I was like YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY !
