[News] JYJ, Visa Denial Changes The Bad Situation ‘Crisis into Opportunities’

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 06:34 AM PST


U.S. visa application is denied, yet the concert showcases progress normally despite difficult challenges, JYJ chose to keep his promise to share a stage with the fans .

On the past 12th in the morning, group JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) got their US performing Visa (P1) denied, hence the normal progress of their showcase wasn't able to continue. Regarding this matter, many entertainment industry officials threw concern gaze as it would be a burden for the group to step in United States known as world's largest music market without performing visa.

However, they chose to continue going on stage to keep promise to fans and proceed a drastic transition from a commercial (paid) showcase to free performances showcase. 'Turns the crisis into oportunity' was the decision made.

Having a free showcase means expectations didn't work out as planned and they even wanted to give up during times of crisis. "Yet we considered it as a process of a successful American debut," stating a resolute decision.

JYJ members reassured the fans, "It does not matter whether the performances is free or paid, what matters is to deliver an unforgettable stage to the fans" the members put the promise, "We will pour all of our passion to the world in the worldwide showcase we prepared for the United States"

Regardless these twists and turns they had to face, the first showcase held at Hammerstein at Manhattan, New York in the evening of the 12th was filled with an explosion of interest from the local fans led the showcase to conduct succesfully. The auditorium which can accommodate a total of 3,000 fans was packed with fans that cheered 'wonderful JYJ' to the live performance of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu.

Starting at 6 am local fans from all over regions already flocked in the eastern United States, resulting on the excess of capacity of more than 7,000 people just before the show, caused them to paralyze the traffic for a while. Seeing from this spectacular incident, it's easy to measure the extent of popularity of the members in United States.

Following the showcase in New York, on the 14th they headed to Las Vegas where the second showcase was held at Planet Hollywood hotel which also received passionate atmosphere. The auditorium was packed with more than 7,000 fans and prior to the showcase they gathered around the hotel area cried for 'JYJ'. Las Vegas main street was filled with battle of cheering and cries of fans from across the United States.

Especially for this evening concert, eventhough there were a lot of Korean fans live in United States who attended, yet nearly half of the seats were occupied by foreigners, proving that the worldwide showcase indeed met its target.

After performing, JYJ said their impression "We ever stood on stages, that's true, but now we come to an attempt to create truly genuine stage of ourselves. Many fans from Asia and United States stood up cheering for us, thus we will create music that expresses our happiness (to them) and sing with our heart."

This craze for JYJ is also showed in the great interests of United States' based magazines and local media, who are optimistic about the success of their debut. They wisely turned the worst situation of the visa denial to an assesment into the U.S. music market, paving the way for a successful expansion that will follow. The fans are specially impressed by how JYJ overcame such a moment of crisis with such 'positive force'.

With New York and Las Vegas performances had been completed, JYJ will hold their final showcase in the coming 19th in Los Angeles, United States. The group's crisis management skill is getting more compelling right now to face unexpected challenges as blessing in disguise and switch the crisis magically to opportunities.

[News] TVXQ-SM Battle In Court Concerning The Validity Of Their Conctract

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 06:00 AM PST


TVXQ's 3 members (Kim Jaejoong-Kim Junsu-Park Yoochun) and SM Entertainment battled fiercely in court over the question of the validity of their exclusive contract.

At the hearing of Civil Case No. 48 (Chief Prosecuting Attorney Lee Lim) at the Seoul District Courts on the 16th, the first date of pleading, the representatives of SM and the trio refused to back down from their stances as they respectively stated, 'TVXQ's contract period of 13 years was inevitable for their entrance into foreign markets' and, 'The period of the contract was decided upon without the consent of the members.'

SM's legal representative explained that, "The period of the contract was agreed upon as both sides shared mutual financial purposes and motives," and "As TVXQ was created with the purpose of targeting foreign markets from the start, the long contract period was an established and agreed upon prerequisite for a stable entry into foreign markets."

He emphasized that, "If there was a lack of support or an unfair income distribution during TVXQ's activities, the exclusive contract would be a problem, however, TVXQ has always received the best treatment possible that is far superior to that of other artistes in the industry."

Also, the representative added, "The trio did not raise a single objection regarding the content of the contract since their debut, until they decided to bring up the problems of the exclusive contract after they clashed with the agency on the issue of the cosmetic company they actively invested in during the months of 2008," and "They have been neglecting their activities, stating the lawsuit as a reason for their neglect, and because of this, the other members and the agency have been incurring immense damages."

Regarding this, the trio's legal representative refuted the previous statements as he said, "The Fair Trade Commission has acknowledged seven years as the maximum length of a contract," and "TVXQ's contract was invalid from the start as there have always been unfair clauses within the contract including unfair income distribution, excessive compensation penalties and a contract period that is too long."

He emphasized that, "We cannot accept SM's stance and the agency's claim for compensation when their entire argument is based off an invalid contract," and "Before we pick at anything else, we must make it clear whether this contract is valid or not."

(omitted)

The next hearing will be held on December 7th, at 2pm at the Seoul District Courts, and two SM employees will attend as witnesses and testify on what the situation was like when the contract was signed.

[Video]Hangeng stars in CF that displays hate towards Koreans?

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 05:57 AM PST

    
Former Super Junior member Hangeng has been the center of netizen attention after his CF popped up on websites. Although the CF is a few months old, it's causing controversy for its content.

In the CF, a woman who is dressed comically hits Hangeng on the back of his head and tells him in Korean, "Hey, get a grip! If you don't want to do this, get lost!" Hangeng then logs onto the game, defeats a character that looks just like her, comes back into reality and puts on an incredible performance. The CF ends with the "Korean" woman watching Hangeng's stage in shock amidst cheering fans.

Netizens have been criticizing his company for placing Hangeng in such an ad as well as berating Hangeng for appearing in it. However, some fans have commented, supporting Hangeng by saying, "it's understandable, he has fees to pay to SM. I want him to do as much as he can" and "no matter what, ELFs and him have spent too long together. Something like this isn't going to stop us from supporting him."

What do you think? Do you think he's sending a message back to his old company?
Check out the CF preview below:

  



Note: We previously ran an article on this story with a mention that Hangeng insulted Koreans with a comment about kimchi. Upon tips from our readers, we researched further into the original news article to realize it was misinformation. We have used another source for this article and fixed our error. Thanks to all those who sent us e-mails and commented to let us know of the mistake.

[NEWS] 101108 Nichkhun's Sexy Hip Dance Shocks Cast

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 10:46 PM PST

Nichkhun of the boy band 2PM showed off a sexy "hip dance" on KBS 2TV's "Happy Together Season 3" on Thursday. He said the sexy dance move was his signature gesture when responding to fan cheers.

The MCs asked for a demonstration and Nichkhun stunned everyone with his sensual hip dance. Female hosts Park Mi-seon and Sin Bong-seon screamed and their jaws dropped.

The other 2PM members were embarrassed. Sin was in utter consternation, saying it strikes a similarity with comedian No Hong-cheol's "dirty dance." MC Yu Jae-seok made an exclamation at his hip movement, adding that Nichkhun's contrasting calm look on his face makes the dance more amusing. Park scolded him for moving too much of his hip but couldn't hide her smile, enjoying the scene.

Nichkhun also confessed that he is different in real life from how he appears on TV. The Thai native says he smiles a lot on TV due to his insufficient Korean language skills and that he's often portrayed with a cute image but he does not like to be called "pretty."

[News] T-ara's new member Ryu Hwayoung becomes a hot issue amongst netizens

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 08:36 PM PST



T-ara's new member is becoming a hot issue amongst netizens because she is the twin sister of Co-Ed's Hyoyoung. T-ara is set to a comeback at the end of November with Ryu Hwayoung, who is the younger of the two twins.

It has been revealed that Hyoyoung recommended her little sister as the newest member of T-ara. Hwayoung is the same age as T-ara's current maknae Jiyeon, and it was reported that she had been working day and night for the new album.

In last week's Star Golden Bell, Co-Ed and T-ara starred together. Hyoyoung was one of the stars on the show, and after she introduced herself, T-ara's Soyeon revealed that their newest member was Hyoyoung's younger twin. They joked that they weren't sure if it was actually one person pretending to be two because they looked so identical.

Are you looking forward to T-ara's comeback with their newest member?
