[TRANS] 121128 JYJ-SM Come To An Agreement: SM “It Was For The Best”, JYJ “A Battle That Had Already Been Won”
The legal dispute between SM Entertainment and JYJ (Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun) has finally come to an end through an agreement after three years and four months.
According to judicial circles, SM Entertainment and the three members of JYJ came to an agreement on the 28th to settle the termination date of any and all contracts between the two parties as the 31st of July, 2009, the date that JYJ filed their injunction of nullification. Also, it has been found that they have decided to drop all related lawsuits and have signed an agreement stating that they will not interfere with any activities that the other party pursues.
SM Entertainment said, “The trio stated that they have no intention of performing as members of the group ‘TVXQ’, so SM has come to the decision that we no longer have a reason to be in charge of management for the trio. We have come to a mutual agreement to not interfere with the other party’s activities as our paths will not cross in the future, and the lawsuit has come to an end through this agreement. Also, we have come to the decision that the best course of action was to end this lawsuit to ensure that there will be no more additional damages or unnecessary issues that arise because of the lawsuit that may harm U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin, who are currently active as ‘TVXQ’.”
CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “We believed that this was a battle that had already been won three years ago when the courts accepted our injunction. To be honest, we don’t believe that there will be much change to JYJ’s activities after the verdict because the interference of JYJ’s activities isn’t a legal issue, but a battle between David and Goliath.” He also added, “We are currently walking down a path that only JYJ could take, and we will continue to pursue our own activities, as planned,” and “We hope that the success of this agreement will rectify the various limitations placed upon JYJ that used the lawsuit as an excuse, and we would like to once more sincerely thank the domestic and international fans who have given JYJ their unwavering support from the start.”

Yippee.!!! First of all, I am so happy for my Mancubs, ahem…JYJ, because this has been such a long, protracted lawsuit that has affected us all. Tears have fallen, prayers have gone up, and all of this angst has in reality made us closer, but at what price? We need to continue to be close because despite all that SM is saying here, I truly don’t believe that they would capitulate with our Guys best interests in mind. Not only that, but now the Boys do not have the presence of the courts to give them a bit of a shield.
I would be truly shocked and surprised if the broadcasting companies rallied and allowed JYJ immediate TV access . Let’s wait, pray, and see. In the meantime, we continue to support Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun in their group and personal activities. Talented men here.
Yunho and Changmin are also talented, and, as has been stated, time will tell the story. We are looking at Shinhwa as a reunited group and others have done the same.
Bottom line, our babies can breathe a little, but I don’t want them to lose sight of someday being reunited with their brothers–if not as a group, at least as friends. SM will not have Yunho and Changmin forever, although I’m sure that SM would prefer it that way.
Keep Fighting JYJ, and we’ll keep watching your backs. Lot’s of Love. Momma Cha, Ivory, and thatmelancholysoul <333 🙂
