According to translated reports, the legal dispute between JYJ and their former agency, SM Entertainment, is now over.
Both sides have reportedly agreed to drop all lawsuits against each other and the trio should now be free to promote their various projects on entertainment shows throughout South Korea.

Apparently, SM is struggling to come up with a reason why their business profits were way below expectations. So, they blamed it on the production cost of TVXQ's concerts. Wow.
Is this a pre emptive strike for what's to come? Who knows but time will tell.
