Editors Opinion: JYJ Honorary Ambassadorship of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games
I have been waiting to hear news about the outcome of the decisions surrounding JYJ’s participation in the 2013 Incheon Hallyu Tourism Concert : Incheon Korean Music Wave 2013. The possibility that Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu would once again fall victim to a system that sees no moral dilemma in using their popularity as a means of promoting the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, yet continues to deny them the respect and courtesy deserving of their popular status, has come once more into public view. It is not a pretty picture.This is just another example of the pettiness of the entertainment industry in their bold disregard for the established institutions of their society which have been set in place to ensure fair treatment of all citizens. This basically boils down to violation of JYJ’s constitutional rights as citizens of South Korea.
How did I get here? It is obvious that the court system has ruled in favor of Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu through the countless lawsuits and injunctions resulting in decisions supporting JYJ handed down by the judiciary. The FTC and public officials of powerful rank and personal integrity have given their support, yet all are being ignored. This has dire implications. By ignoring the judiciary, the FTC, and public figures, a message is being put out there that states the belief that they are untouchable and hold all the power. Time will tell.
The industry has been told hands off of JYJ’s activities, thus implied, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu’s individual activities as well. In essence, they are being told to take their hands off of JYJ’s potentialities in the marketplace of entertainment. There is no way that anyone can truthfully deny JYJ’s abilities, earning potential, or promotional power. So, in an effort to exploit those assets; perhaps in hopes of receiving recompense, or in furthering their own cause, the bait and switch method has been employed. Engage these dynamic, charismatic, patriotic persons to attract the public’s attention; then withdraw any opportunities that will permanently place them in the historical equation or that will allow them access to former teammates..
Those who have been totally underestimated in this situation are the fans and supporters of Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. After all, this has happened before in the form of the ‘Jeju Island’s 7 Natural Wonders of The World’ incident as referred to in the message C-Jes recently placed on their Official Homepage. The dedicated fans will always be committed to trying their best to help JYJ to weather this seemingly unending storm based on the fans knowledge of Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu’s integrity. The fans and supporters are individuals and groups who can see the injustices for what they are– attempts to belittle and rob JYJ of their opportunities and self-esteem. Viewed in an objective manner, it is a complete travesty of justice. In whatever form the fan support appears, it is a direct message to Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, and others who may some day face similar circumstances. Justice can prevail. It is JYJ’s commitment to maintain their integrity that will win the day.
Through all of this Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu have proven themselves to be strong, moral individuals, who, even as this insult among many has targeted them, have made a determination to carry through with the activities they have been offered as Honorary Ambassadors of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. They will do well. Diplomacy is their largest suit. After all, how do you think they have managed all these years? Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu are wonderful candidates for honorary ambassadorship.

[TRANS] 130902 [C-JeS] Regarding The Activities As The Honorary Ambassadors Of The 2014 Incheon Asian Games
Hello.
This is C-JeS Entertainment.
JYJ are currently active as the honorary ambassadors of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. During the commencement ceremony in February, the committee of the Asian Games stated the reason behind choosing JYJ as their honorary ambassadors by stating, “In order to expand awareness of Incheon, the city where the tournament will be held, as well as kick off the tournament’s overseas promotional activities, we have chosen JYJ as our honorary ambassadors because of their immense popularity in Asia.”
Yesterday’s was held with the purpose of showing support for the success of the Asian Games. However, JYJ the honorary ambassadors of the Asian Games, were not in attendance. The fact that the honorary ambassadors of the Asian Games weren’t attending an event that was set to commemorate the tournament didn’t make any sense to us, so we submitted an official objection to the committee and the related organizations. We were met with an agreement from the committee, and we took action against the organizers, sponsors and broadcaster of the event and requested a change in the line-up.
The Asian Games committee received an opinion from the Incheon Development and Tourism Committee that JYJ would not be able to appear in the event, and expressed to the organizer that this was not a hope for ‘JYJ to appear in the concert’. A second request was made for JYJ to appear in the concert to appear on stage to introduce the sporting event and announce their overseas promotional activities for the second half of this year, as they are the honorary ambassadors and this was a concert to commemorate the Asian Games. However, MBC, the broadcaster of the event, and the Incheon Development and Tourism Committee notified the Asian Games committee that their second request would also be denied.
In July, the Fair Trade Commission laid down a prohibitive order against the organizations guilty of systematically interfering with JYJ’s activities. However, JYJ’s activities are still being interfered with by the broadcasting company in charge, despite the fact that JYJ have valid reasons for attending the event. Regardless of the Fair Trade Commission’s prohibitive order, it has been revealed that the celebrity industry is still engaging in unlawful activities as it is controlled by the influence of a large-scale entertainment agency.
Two years ago, a similar controversy took place while JYJ were active as the honorary ambassadors of Jeju Island’s 7 Natural Wonders of the World bid. Even then, JYJ continued to do their best to fulfill their roles as honorary ambassadors. This time will be no different. JYJ will tour Asia as the honorary ambassadors of the and do their best to increase the awareness of the event, as well as the cultural excellence of Korea. Also, they will do their best to fulfill their responsibility of getting Incheon known throughout Asia, through a true cultural mission rather than a musical stage that is a mere formality in name.
Last of all, we would like to thank the Asian Games committee and the Mayor of Incheon who recognized JYJ’s value as honorary ambassadors of the and did their best to rectify the situation till the very end, despite the absurd external pressure that faced them.
* We would like to notify you of JYJ’s overseas promotional schedule for the [2014 Incheon Asian Games]
– Singapore Road Show – Greeting interview through a conference call (9.26)
– Vietnam Road Show – Attendance at a media event and cultural event (10.24)
– Guangzhou Road Show – Attendance at a media event and cultural event (11.21)
– Attendance of the Incheon Asian Games’ 100th Anniversary media event in Boracay (end of November)

[TRANS] 130727 [Choi Ji Yae’s Epilogue] JYJ, Will They Be Able To Escape The Tunnel And Fly Again
SM “The FTC’s verdict is unfortunate” VS JYJ “We saw a ray of hope”
The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) laid down a prohibitive order on SM Entertainment and the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and the Arts (KFPCAI) on the 24th. This order prohibited the two parties from interfering with the broadcasted and musical activities of idol group JYJ (Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong).
In July of 2009, JYJ filed an exclusive contract nullification injunction against SM as members of the idol group TVXQ, claiming that the exclusive contract signed between the two parties was unlawful. Since then, SM and JYJ had been locked in a legal dispute over the validity of their exclusive contract.
Regarding this, the FTC stated, “Considering the leverage that SM Entertainment has as one of the three biggest entertainment agencies in Korea, as well as the specific nature of the KFPCAI as an organization in the entertainment industry, the official notice that was released placed a considerable amount of pressure on the recipients,” and “This incident is significant as it has prohibited a large-scale entertainment agency from using its influence and working with a business organization to prohibit the activities of celebrities currently locked in a legal dispute with the agency.”
The FTC also ordered the KFPCAI to, “notify the 12 business associations in the organization, as well as the 26 licensees who received the official notice, of the corrective measures that have taken place.”
Regarding this order, the FTC explained why they had not made SM pay a fee as they stated, “We do not believe that SM benefitted economically from this event, and we believe that a prohibitive order is enough as a warning for other entertainment agencies as well.”
The most important question surrounding the FTC’s order is whether JYJ will be able to appear on broadcasted shows in the future. As it has now been accepted by the FTC that JYJ have been faced with limitations in their activities, many are wondering if JYJ will finally be able to let their activities take flight.
Regarding this, CEO Baek Chang Joo of C-JeS Entertainment stated, “Although JYJ’s legal dispute with their former agency was concluded in April, JYJ still suffered from unlawful external pressure. Including the unilateral notification they received from their album distribution company recently, it is an undeniable fact that JYJ have unlawfully been restricted from appearing on music programs, even when they release albums.” He also added, “But if policies and institutions continue to be the foundation of change, as they were today, we believe that JYJ will be able to perform on a fair stage in the future.”
JYJ stated, “We hope that the FTC’s verdict will allow us to freely pursue activities in the entertainment industry and to stand on a fair stage in front of the public. Although a long and dark tunnel still lies ahead of us, we saw a strand of light in the far distance flash by our eyes. We will continue to walk towards that light, and we will always do our best to repay everyone with great performances and activities.”
However, SM released an official statement that read, “It is unfortunate that such a verdict was made, although there was no evidence to prove that such interference had taken place,” and “SM is currently reviewing the option of pursuing legal action against this latest decision.”
With such differing stances coming from both sides, there are may opinions surrounding this issue that exist in the industry. The FTC’s order is very meaningful as a symbol, but the opinion is split on whether it will actually translate into change in reality.
One representative in the industry saw the verdict in a positive light as he stated, “The verdict made by the FTC is a symbolic precedent against large-scale, influential entertainment agencies. The entertainment industry is changing from a food chain into an environment that everyone can be a part of.”
On the other hand, another representative believed that the order would not be able to make any lasting change as he stated, “Though the FTC have made their verdict, we still can’t say whether JYJ will be able to appear on variety shows or music programs. The industry has agreed that the issue is whether the broadcasting companies will take the necessary big step.”
One representative of the broadcasting industry gave a more skeptical opinion as he stated, “I’m doubtful that the FTC’s verdict will have a positive effect on JYJ’s broadcasted activities.”
He also added, “Though the FTC has sided with JYJ, what’s important is how SM accepts their verdict. If JYJ are able to freely pursue activities in the industry after the verdict, wouldn’t that basically mean that SM and the KFPCAI admits to interfering with JYJ’s activities? I don’t think it’s a simple problem.”
A representative who works in management at an agency emphasized, “People are curious to see how SM will react as a large-scale entertainment agency. And it’s true that the FTC’s verdict has hurt SM’s image to an extent. But if JYJ were now able to freely pursue activities as singers, SM would no longer be associated with the term ‘Tyranny of super powers’. As the frontrunner of K-pop, SM must make a wise decision.”

[TRANS] 130725 JYJ Naver LINE Updates
(10:59am KST) We thought that we wouldn’t be able to stand on stage again. But for the past four years, we have been able to stand on stage and sing. And it was all thanks to our fans’ sincere hearts and love for us. The link below will take you to C-JeS Entertainment and JYJ’s official statement on the Fair Trade Commission’s ruling on SM Entertainment. We hope that our fans all over the world take interest and read it. Link
[T/N: Our translations for the statement can be found here]
1:37pm KST) Translations for the video are below.
(Yoochun) The name JYJ… I really like it. Thank you all so much. Thank you for caring for us so much that we are able to live a happier life. I think we still have so much to do if we want to repay you for all of your love, so we’re going to do our best and go at it with all we have.
(Junsu) Thank you… Thank you.
(Jaejoong) I apologize. We hadn’t planned to come up and talk, so we don’t have much prepared. And when you don’t have much prepared, your emotions start pouring out first, like Junsu right now; it’s natural. If we were to have a real heart to heart, we would probably end up needing four to five hours, just to talk it out. Even that wouldn’t be enough, right? Yoochun said this too, but we’re so happy right now. We’re human after all, and I think humans feel most suffocated when they can’t like what they like, can’t do what they want to do, or express what they want to express. I’m so happy to be standing in front of all the people who have made it possible to be free in what we do, if not 100%, at least more than before. We will take all the strength you’ve given us and work harder, and within what we have.. Like what Yoochun said, we’ll go at it and break free. Till then, we don’t need anything else, we’ll be grateful if you just believe in us and watch over us. Thank you so much. And thank you to those sitting on the second and third floors as well. Thank you.
Till now, this has been JYJ. Thank you!

[Trans] 130724 JYJ’s Official Statement, “We Are Grateful For The FTC’s Verdict, It Gives Us Strength In This Endless Battle”
JYJ have spoken up regarding the recent decision made by the FTC.
On the 24th of July, the Fair Trade Commission (hereafter known as the FTC) has ordered SM Entertainment and the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Arts Industries (hereafter known as the KFPCAI), a coalition of 12 pop culture related organizations, to rectify their actions of interfering with JYJ’s broadcasted appearances and activities as singers.
Regarding this, C-JeS Entertainment’s CEO Baek Chang Joo stated, “We would like to thank the FTC for conducting such a transparent investigation for the past three years to eradicate unlawful actions in the industry, collecting evidence of SM Entertainment and principal agents in the culture industry, such as the KFPCAI, unilaterally and systematically interfering with JYJ’s broadcasted appearances.”
CEO Baek Chang Joo welcomed the FTC’s verdict as he stated, “The investigation gave irrefutable evidence that SM Entertainment had violated the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act by abusing their monopolistic and superior leverage in the entertainment industry to disadvantage those who have different opinions multiple times. We believe that the FTC’s recent order to rectify such actions will shed light on the tyranny of super powers in the industry who go against the innovative economy policies of the current government.”
He also stated, “The development of our nation’s entertainment industry, signified by the Hallyu Wave, will only take place if the creativity and diversity of every participant is respected and guaranteed. This means that we must no longer be swept up in the despotism of the few super powers in the industry. If the Hallyu waves develops henceforth on the basis of a lawful mould, starting with today’s ‘rectification order’, we believe that this will be an opportunity to leap forth into the world again.”
CEO Baek Chang Joo added, “Although JYJ’s legal dispute with their former agency was concluded in April, JYJ still suffered from unlawful external pressure. Including the unilateral notification they received from their album distribution company recently, it is an undeniable fact that JYJ have unlawfully been restricted from appearing on music programs, even when they release albums. This is an embarrassing truth in our society today. But if policies and institutions continue to be the foundation of change, as they were today, we believe that JYJ will be able to perform on a fair stage in the future.”
JYJ stated, “We would like to thank the FTC for their decision. Though it feels as though we have been locked in a hard battle since 2009 and are walking in an endless desert, today’s verdict gave us strength to keep going as it showed that the situation is slowly changing for the better. We hope that the FTC’s verdict will allow us to freely pursue activities in the entertainment industry and stand on a fair stage in front of the public. We also hope that such roads are also opened for our juniors as well.”
They continued to add, “Although a long and dark tunnel still lies ahead of us, we saw a strand of light in the far distance flash by our eyes. We will continue to walk towards that light, and we will always do our best to repay everyone with great performances and activities.”
Meanwhile, the FTC charged SM and the KFPCAI for interfering with JYJ’s activities in the entertainment industry when the group released their first album in October, 2010 after filing for independence from SM due to issues regarding an unlawful contract.
Regarding the FTC’s verdict, SM Entertainment stated, “It is unfortunate that such a verdict was made, although there was no evidence to prove that such interference had taken place. SM is currently reviewing the option of pursuing legal action against this latest decision.”

[Trans] 130724 The Fair Trade Commission Orders SM Entertainment And Others To “Not Interfere With JYJ’s Activities”
The Fair Trade Commission has laid down the verdict that SM Entertainment and others should not interfere with JYJ’s activities in the entertainment industry.
On the 24th of July, the Fair Trade Commission (hereafter known as the FTC) has given former agency SM Entertainment and the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industries (hereafter known as the KFPCAI) an order of prohibition for interfering with JYJ’s broadcasted appearances and activities as singers. JYJ is a group created by Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu, who were initially part of the 5-member idol group TVXQ and left the group in 2009 due to problems surrounding unlawful clauses in their exclusive contract.
The FTC stated, “JYJ released their first album in October of 2010 and tried to resume their activities as singers, but SM and the KFPCAI interfered with their activities in the entertainment industry by releasing an official notice that asked those in the industry to refrain from inviting or allowing JYJ to appear on televised programs, and from distributing their albums and online music files. The official notice was released through the KFPCAI and sent to 26 licensees in the industry, including the 3 major broadcasting companies, 6 K-pop and entertainment news related cable companies, and many album and online music file distribution companies.”
They continued to explain, “Considering the leverage that SM Entertainment has as one of the three biggest entertainment agencies in Korea, as well as the specific nature of the KFPCAI as an organization in the entertainment industry, the official notice that was released placed a considerable amount of pressure on the recipients,” and “Though JYJ have album sales of over 90,000 copies, they have had their activities as singers restricted in Korea, in ways such as not being able to appear on music programs or variety shows.”
To this, the FTC gave an order to prohibit SM Entertainment and the KFPCAI from pursuing any actions that interfere with JYJ’s activities. They have also ordered the KFPCAI to notify the 12 business associations in the organization, as well as the 26 licensees who received the official notice, of the corrective measures that have taken place.
The FTC also stated, “This incident is significant as it has prohibited a large-scale entertainment agency from using its influence and working with a business organization to prohibit the activities of celebrities currently locked in a legal dispute with the agency,” and “We hope that this verdict will shed light on similar unlawful actions that may be taking place in the industry.”
