JYJ Court hearing reveals SM still owes thousands of dollars to members

There was a Court hearing in Seoul related to the JYJ’s lawsuit against SM Entertainment (SM).  According to very early translated tidbits, SM still hasn’t turned over all the financial documents for TVXQ and still haven’t paid the members for their huge Mirotic album sales.

The witness at the hearing was “Mr. Yoon”, the person SM put in charge of handling financial matters related to TVXQ.

In Court, SM presented a document calculating money owed to TVXQ for their first single Hug from way back in 2004.  Yes… 2004… and that’s it, according to early translated reports.  One report says, “SM failed to produce any more evidence beyond the single document from 2004.”

But that’s not all.  Its already ridiculous that, according to their contract, SM only has to pay members $50,000 dollars ($50 million Korean Won) when an album sells 500,000 copies.  But when TVXQ finally achieved this goal with their Mirotic album, SM didn’t pay them any of that money and had no valid excuse in Court for why they hadn’t.

The shocking news of the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan set many people on high alert and prayers began to go out to the people of Japan.  We became even more anxious when learning that Junsu and staff are still in Japan.

The latest reports (as of 3:45AM ET) are that Junsu is unhurt, though he did feel the quake, and that they’re waiting on the next possible time they can get on a flight to Korea once the airport reopens.

quake1An 8.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japan early Friday, triggering tsunami warnings and sending people fleeing out of buildings in the capital.

The quake rattled buildings and toppled cars off bridges and into waters underneath. In Tokyo, crowds huddled together and tried to reach relatives via cell phone.

Its epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) from Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said.

It triggered a tsunami warning for various countries, including Japan and Russia, the National Weather Service said.

“Earthquakes of this size are known to generate tsunamis potentially dangerous to coasts outside the source region,” it said.
