As Long as They Breathe, 5 Will Be Together JYJ @6002theMicky @mjjeje @0101xiahtic

I don’t feel pity for anything or anybody that tries to obstruct these 5 young men being together.  A million things had to go right for them to initially find each other; to take each others’ hand and walk forward together. 

They may be cutting different paths from one goal to the next, but this, too, may be for a reason.  While missing pieces of themselves, they can still love.  They can love each other no matter where in the world they exist. And because of this, all of the independent situations which had to occur for them to exist as TVXQ seem all the more remarkable.

FTC: SM Ordered to Revise Unfair Contracts with Artists

articlesSM Entertainment received a firm order from the Fair Trade Commission to revise the unfair contracts which bind SNSD, Super Junior, SHINee, and many others to them.

On December 23rd, the Fair Trade Commission stated, “We gave them a warning to voluntarily correct the unfair exclusive contracts that their celebrities and trainees have signed. [SME] is to reduce all contract lengths by three years.”

This decision by the FTC was based off of a complaint made by TVXQ’s fanclub, Cassiopeia. The group alleged that SM Entertainment was using their status to pressure a disadvantaged (’slave’) contract onto TVXQ.

SM Entertainment’s violation, as disclosed by the FTC, lies in the unfair contract conditions. These conditions included forcing artists to sign on for a long period of time, an excessive penalty provision for breach of contract, and a one-sided scheduling of activities. There’s also a clause that allows SME to extend contracts for overseas activities without first consulting the artist in question.
