After KBS released a statement defending its questionable decision to keep blocking JYJ from appearing on their airwaves, representatives for the trio released a direct response.
This stems from JYJ taking SM (SME) to court because of what has been called an unfair “slave” contract where members were signed for 13 years with almost no control over individual, personal activities. As a result, networks like KBS have incurred massive amounts of criticism for keeping any JYJ member off their air. In an unsuccessful attempt to calm its critics, KBS released a statement, which has caused CJeS to release a response.
CJeS Entertainment called KBS’s excuse “illogical” given the fact that a South Korean court has already deemed the contract between JYJ and SM (their old agency) as unfair. The part of the contract where SM has full control over JYJ’s activities has already been defined as unfair by the courts. The Court specifically ruled in JYJ’s favor, and sent down an order keeping SM from blocking JYJ’s current activities, or pay 20 Million Won for each time they interfere with the Court’s order.
