If a translated reports out of Korea are any indication, the situation with JYJ has sparked a debate on who can legally call to ask for artists to be banned from television. A member of the government in Korea has openly asked for the Korean Fair Trade Commission to investigate the “unfair trade practices of the entertainment industry” and specifically names SM in his criticism.
Member Park Sunsook wants to know whether a violation of the Fair Trade Act occurred when an obscure organization, calling themselves the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry (KFPCAI), sent out letters to networks and entertainment agencies demanding that they ban the group JYJ from appearing on various shows and programs.
