Court order states SM Entertainment will pay 20 million won each time they interfere with JYJ activities

After the Seoul Central District Court dismissed both of SM Entertainment’s injunctions against JYJ last week, the judge Kim Daewong has decided to incur a fee against SM Entertainment every time they interfere with JYJ’s activities. Through a press release, JYJ’s current acting agency said on February 21st, “SM Entertainment will not be allowed to interfere with JYJ activities and will pay 20 million won every time they violate this court order.”

Jaejoong is setting off another collective spazz around the fandom with new photos making the rounds supposedly from his shoot with Elle Korea where he will take on the theme of a movie character (to my understanding).

Check out a few photos and a translated writeup:

SM lost its main public excuse for the dispute between itself and JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Yunsu).  For over a year, SM has publicly blamed the cosmetics company CreBeau for stirring up the controversy, and accused CreBeau of being responsible for the discord between itself and members of JYJ.

CreBeau didn’t sit idly by and let that happen.  A bad reputation can put a company out of business, especially if they get blamed for the breakup of the biggest Asian group in the world. 

The cosmetics company accused SM of using it (CreBeau) to cover up the “internal problems” SM obviously has with JYJ, and CreBeau filed a defamation lawsuit against SM.

According to translated reports, the Court basically exonerated CreBeau of having any responsibility for ruining the relationship between SM and JYJ.

JYJ has won another victory in the courts in their epic fight against SM Entertainment, its former Korean management company. According to translated reports, Seoul District Court has thrown out two injunctions filed by SM against JYJ.

The Court has also further confirmed the unfairness of the exclusive contract, and upheld an earlier ruling making sure SM has no right to interfere with JYJ’s independent activities.

Initially, the Court ruled that SM could not interfere with whatever activities Junsu, Yoochun or Jaejoong decided to participate in while this lawsuit is ongoing. As a result, SM filed an injunction on Oct 27 2009 claiming that it was illegal for the Courts to keep them (SM) from interfering with JYJ activities.
