Press Conference and Slave Contract

Idol group Dong Bang Shin Ki’s members Micky YooChun, Hero JaeJoong and Xiah JunSu finally revealed their stand about their problems with SM Entertainment.

Their representative revealed through news media on 3rd August, “The 5 years period after they debuted, the 3 of them felt that their minds and their bodies are tired having to follow the tight schedule that the company put up unilaterally.”

They continued, “Kim JunSu, Kim JaeJoong and Park YooChun has been following SM’s instruments from beginning of 2004 till now, going back and forth promoting in Korea, Japan, China etc, and in a year except for 1 week they get only 3-4 hours of sleep a day to do our schedule.”

Also, “In the process the health of the 3 members are very much deteriorated, they are also suffering from mental fatigue, and as time went SM continue to established on their own decision for Dong Bang Shin Ki to advance into other countries. In the end the 3 members felt that as compared to be fulfilling their dreams to be singers, they are used more as a tool by the compared to earn profits, and they wish to use each of the members to also go into other entertainers’ activities.”

The 3 members’ representative also added, “It is a 13 years contract but in reality it is a lifetime contract. With the exclusive rights clause in the contract, the 13 years also include the time the members are serving their military service, hence it will go for more than 15 years. And now it has not even been near to 10 years since the group’s debut, hence it seems like the contract will last until the members’ retirement from the entertainment zone. The penalty for retracting the exclusive right clause is 3 times the investment cost and 2 times the lost in earnings. They also asked about the penalty of cancelling the whole contract but it will involve several hundred billions KRW of penalty, hence in reality there is no way out but to be tied down to SM because of the contract.”

Also, “The members did not receive the right treatment even from SM. Without getting any contract fees, the initial contract was that if their album sells more than 500K copies, each member will get about 10 million KRW during the next album release. If they sell less than 500K copies of album, they will get nothing.”

The 3 members had went down to Seoul Central District Court to file for a retractile of their exclusive belonging rights with SM Entertainment on 31st July, causing an outrage of speculations about the group’s disbanding and also problems between the members and SM.

AARRGGHH!!!

how come it's only the three of them?
what's of Changmin and yunho?
don't tell me....

argg!! i could so kill LSM!! >.<
he clearly don't know the law of human rights!
there is so many things he do wrong that he actually can end in jail for - if just people would tell all the things directly to police and so!

There was a similar case like this before...it was an actress who had a slave contract too and at the end she committed suicide.

oh shit

yeah i heard about the actress...can't remember who it was right now...^^'

r u serious?!
what a...
*faints*

you ok Tammy? O.o

I just hope that the sufferings that DBSK and some of the other SM artists go through will end soon - if i then have to go to the human rights myself >-<

*wakes up*
wait for me!
im coming!!!

good your Ok XD
hmm...wonder why DBSK actually haven't went to the Human Right's yet??

that
i have no idea
and yes im okay!
thnx for asking!
^^

actually Korean law is against "slave contracts", but the problem here is that LSM denies everything.

well if the Human Right's would be after him it would get tough to deny anything!
just with enough evidence (pictures, quotes and videos) he could end in jail fast.

they should be after him...I'm sure they'll find out lots of things that they didn't know.
I think that they should beat him as much as he used to beat DBSK.

yeah and starve him!

yeah, I was thinking the same...and also make him sleep only 3 hours per day.

no make that 36 min. after all it went out on 5 people!

yes, 36min. is even too much, what do think about making them 30min?

sound great! MUHAHAHA!!!

yeah, can't wait to see this happened...I'm sure that he'll regret everything he did.

of course he will - if not I'll make him!

I'm with you
I'm sure that DBSK will be so happy when thay see him suffer.

yeah i think so too!
