SM «El veredicto del FTC es desafortunado» VS JYJ «Hemos visto un rayo de esperanza»

La Comisión de Comercio (FTC) estableció una orden prohibitiva de SM Entertainment y la Federación Coreana de Cultura Pop y las Artes (KFPCAI) el día 24. Esta orden prohíbe las dos partes de interferir con las actividades musicales y transmitidas del grupo ídolo JYJ (Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong).

En julio del 2009, JYJ presentó un requerimiento de anulación de contrato exclusivo contra SM como miembros del grupo idol TVXQ, alegando que el contrato de exclusividad firmado entre las dos partes era ilegal. Desde entonces, SM y JYJ se habían encerrado en una disputa legal sobre la validez de su contrato de exclusividad.

Según FTC, JYJ lanzó su primer álbum en octubre del 2010, durante su pleito con SM y trató de reiniciar sus actividades como cantantes, pero se encontraron con una notificación oficial por SM y el KFPCAI que pidió 26 empresas en las industrias de difusión y distribución a abstenerse de trabajar con JYJ.

Al respecto, FTC indicó que, «Teniendo en cuenta la influencia que SM Entertainment tiene como una de las tres agencias de entretenimiento más grandes en Corea, así como la naturaleza específica de KFPCAI como organización en la industria del entretenimiento, el comunicado que se publicó coloca una cantidad considerable de la presión sobre los receptores», y » Este incidente es significativo, ya que ha prohibido una agencia de entretenimiento a gran escala el uso de su influencia y trabajar con una organización empresarial para prohibir las actividades de las celebridades bloqueados actualmente en una disputa legal con la agencia «.

La FTC también ordenó a KFPCAI «notificar a las 12 asociaciones empresariales de la organización, así como los 26 licenciatarios que recibieron la notificación oficial, de las medidas correctivas que se han producido.»

Respecto a este fin, FTC ha explicado por qué no habían hecho SM pagar una cuota, ya que declaró: «No creemos que SM se benefició económicamente de este evento, y creemos que una orden prohibitiva es suficiente como una advertencia para otras agencias de entretenimiento «.

La pregunta más importante que rodea la orden de FTC es si JYJ será capaz de aparecer en programas emitidos en el futuro. Como ya ha sido aceptada por FTC que JYJ se han enfrentado con limitaciones en sus actividades, muchos se preguntan si JYJ finalmente será capaz de dejar sus actividades tomen vuelo.

Al respecto, CEO Baek Chang Joo de C-JES Entertainment declaró, «Aunque el conflicto legal de JYJ con su agencia anterior concluyó en abril, todavía sufría de presión externa ilegal. Incluyendo la notificación unilateral que recibieron de su empresa de distribución de álbum recientemente, es un hecho innegable que JYJ ilegalmente han sido restringidos a aparecer en programas de música, incluso cuando lanzan álbumes. «Asimismo, añadió,» Pero si las políticas y las instituciones siguen siendo la base del cambio, como lo fueron hoy, creemos que JYJ será capaz de llevar a cabo en un escenario justo en el futuro «.

JYJ dijo: «Esperamos que el veredicto de FTC nos permitirá continuar libremente las actividades en la industria del entretenimiento y de pie en un escenario justo frente al público. Aunque un largo y oscuro túnel aún se encuentra por delante de nosotros, vimos un hilo de luz en el flash lejanía de nuestros ojos. Vamos a seguir caminando hacia esa luz, y siempre haremos todo lo posible para pagar a todos con grandes actuaciones y actividades «.

Sin embargo, SM publicó un comunicado oficial que decía: «Es una lástima que se presentó un veredicto, aunque no había pruebas de que tal interferencia se había producido» y «SM está examinando la posibilidad de iniciar una acción legal en contra de esta última decisión «.

Con estas posturas divergentes procedentes de ambos lados, hay opiniones de mayo en torno a este tema que existen en la industria. El fin de la FTC es muy significativo como un símbolo, pero la opinión está dividida sobre si realmente se traducirá un cambio en la realidad.

Un representante de la industria vio el veredicto como una luz positiva como declaró: «el veredicto de FTC es un precedente simbólico contra agencias de espectáculos a gran escala e influyente. La industria del entretenimiento está cambiando de una cadena de comida en un ambiente que todos pueden ser parte del.»

Por otra parte, otro representante opinó que la orden no sería capaz de hacer cualquier cambio duradero como declaró: «Aunque FTC han hecho su veredicto, que todavía no podemos decir si JYJ será capaz de aparecer en programas de variedades o programas de música. La industria se ha acordado que la cuestión es si las empresas de radiodifusión tendrán el gran paso necesario «.

Un representante de la industria de la radiodifusión dio una opinión más escéptica como declaró: «Tengo dudas de que el veredicto de FTC tendrán un efecto positivo en las actividades transmitidas de JYJ».

También añadió: «Aunque FTC se ha puesto del lado de JYJ, lo importante es cómo SM acepta su veredicto. Si JYJ son capaces de ejercer libremente las actividades en la industria después de la sentencia, no significa básicamente que SM y KFPCAI admita en interferir con las actividades de JYJ? No creo que sea un simple problema».

Un representante que trabaja en la gestión de una agencia enfatizó: «Las personas tienen curiosidad por ver cómo va a reaccionar SM como una agencia de entretenimiento a gran escala. Y es cierto que el veredicto de FTC ha hecho daño a la imagen de SM hasta cierto punto. Pero si JYJ ahora fueron capaces de ejercer libremente una actividad como cantantes, SM ya no estaría asociada con el término «tiranía de las grandes potencias». Como el favorito del K-pop, SM debe tomar una sabia decisión.»

[TRANS] [Choi Ji Yae’s Epilogue] JYJ, Will They Be Able To Escape The Tunnel And Fly Again

201307271011481133_1

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.

According to the FTC, JYJ released their first album in October, 2010, during their lawsuit with SM, and attempted to restart their activities as singers but were met with an official notice by SM and the KFPCAI that asked 26 companies in the broadcasting and distribution industries to refrain from working with JYJ.

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] If You Are Curious Of The True Extent Of JYJ Kim Junsu’s Ticket Power

The reason why everyone should see Kim Junsu in ‘Elisabeth’

1374881468_1

‘Elisabeth’, the large-scale musical that took the industry by storm last year, has returned. Like last year, Kim Junsu’s performances, which seat a total of 20,000 people, were sold out in five minutes.

Looking at the overall critiques by the public and media, Kim Junsu’s ticket power is astounding. But this time around, the expectation for ‘Elisabeth’ is different from that of last year, because this time around, many people are saying “‘Death’ by Kim Junsu, ‘Death’ for Kim Junsu.”

First of all, last year’s Tod role was given to three actors, Ryu Jung Hwan, Song Chang Ui and Kim Junsu. The first two actors are veterans who each have at least 10 years of experience in the industry. Because of this, Kim Junsu was constantly compared to them for their ease and presence on stage.

On the other hand, 2013′s ‘Death’ role was given to Kim Junsu, and two other young actors. Park Hyo Shin, who appeared in ‘Rock Hamlet’ in 2000 but is better known as a singer than a musical actor, and Jeon Dong Seok, who hit the musical scene through the 2009 production ‘Notre Dame de Paris’.

Not only does Kim Junsu have the merit of having been in the first round of ‘Elisabeth’ performances, but he has also created a strong foundation for himself in the past three years through ‘Elisabeth’, ‘Tears of Heaven’ and ‘Mozart!’.

During the press call of ‘Elisabeth’ that was held on the 25th at the Seoul Arts Center’s Opera House, composer Sylvester Levay showed his faith in the singer as he said, “I personally think of him as a close friend and I’m honored that Kim Junsu will be working with me for another production since ‘Mozart!’. His presence on stage is truly spectacular.”

Kim Junsu’s role of ‘Death’ is a fantasy character that draws off the fact that the real-life empress Elisabeth used to write countless poems about death. He is an important character who makes the life of ‘Elisabeth’ more dramatic and tragic.

‘Death’ falls in love with ‘Elisabeth’ when she falls from a tightrope at a young age. He is a mystical character whose gender can’t be properly defined. Though he approaches Elisabeth as a man, he approaches her son Rudolph as a woman. He follows her wherever she goes throughout her life, and tries to seduce her into taking the last dance with him because he is the only one who can give her true freedom.

1374881468_2

The image of ‘Death’, who is both strong and soft, is similar to Hyde of ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ or the phantom of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ when he appears on a lift. In the musical, he seduces both Elisabeth and her son Rudolph, but also has to draw the audience in and entrance them.

‘Death’ is accompanied by six ‘Angels of Death’, who fill the stage with sophisticated choreography. The ‘Last Dance’ number showcased Kim Junsu’s superior dance skills that he honed as a member of idol group JYJ.

During the press call, Kim Junsu performed ‘The Shadows Grow Longer’ and captivated everyone with a more dignified and charismatic stage presence than last year. During the press conference that followed, he impressed the reporters as he sat and paid attention to what the other actors were saying. It seems as though we must let go of some of the prejudices and negative feelings we have for singer-turned-musical-actors when it comes to Kim Junsu. One critic even justifiably stated, ‘Kim Junsu’s aura grows longer.’

Kim Junsu is currently facing restrictions on his activities as a singer due to a dispute with his former agency. During the press conference, Kim Junsu stated, “My longing for the stage is on the verge of desperation. I’m only able to show my energy through concerts or in musicals. As desperate as I am, I’m going to put all my power and energy into each and every scene.” The instincts he picked up while on stage, as well as the passion he has for what he does, will ensure that Kim Junsu’s charisma will have increased tenfold this time around.

One more thing, EMK plans to open the musicals ‘Marie Antoinette’ and ‘Dance of the Vampire’ next year and the year after, and it looks as though he may be in the running to appear in one of these shows.

Meanwhile, the big and small changes made to this year’s ‘Elisabeth’ is drawing the attention of many. The biggest change is that a new song called ‘The Dance of Love and Death’ has been added to the musical. As a song that was showcased during the Japanese performances of the musical, it will greet Korean audiences this year. Small details have been fixed to bring a new ‘Elisabeth’ to the music industry.

‘Elisabeth’ opens on the 26th of July and features Ok Joo Hyun and Kim So Hyun as the leading role of Elisabeth. They will be joined by Lee Ji Hoon, Park Eun Tae, Yoon Young Seok, Min Young Ki, Lee Jung Hwa, Kim Isak and Noh Ji Hoon.

[TRANS] A Chinese PD Praises Kim Junsu “His High-Quality Dance Skills And Vocal Talent Are Amazing.”

1374978129_546934

Kim Junsu recently met with the Chinese press in Shanghai.

On the 27th, XIA Junsu met with the Chinese media at the Shanghai Intercontinental Hotel in China to express his anticipation for his second Asia Tour concert.

On this day, XIA Junsu had a bright smile on his face throughout the press conference and stated, “I’ve created a concert that both I and the audience can enjoy. I’ll set myself alight with energy and get the mainland pumping with me. I hope everyone enjoys the concert with me.”

The Chinese media expressed their anticipation for his concert that combines a variety of genres and a storytelling aspect. When asking how he felt about returning to China for the first time in a while, XIA Junsu said, “In my mind, Shanghai has always been energetic. Our fans’ passion is always a great support for me. I’ll repay it with a great performance.”

The PD of ShanghaiTV’s entertainment news program visited the press conference and stated, “XIA Junsu’s powerful choreography and high-quality vocal talent make him extremely popular in China. His dancing skills are so amazing and I can’t wait for his upcoming concert. Though he must be tired, he had a bright smile on his face the whole time and atmosphere of the press conference was very light and energetic.”

On the 20th, XIA Junsu performed in Bangkok, Thailand and he is expected to hold the second concert of his Asia Tour at the Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Arena on the 28th.

C-JeS Entertainment stated, “During the press conference that was held yesterday, XIA Junsu talked about how he felt about returning to Shanghai, and explaining what to expect in his upcoming concert,” and “This is the first time XIA Junsu is visiting China since the release of his second solo album, and the music video of his title song ‘Incredible’ topped the weekly charts of Yinyue Tai, China’s biggest MV site, showing just how popular he is in China and how excited everyone is for his concert.”

[TRANS] Requests Flood In For Kim Junsu’s Appearance On ‘Inkigayo’ But The Staff Stay Silent

130728_ods3000

The viewers’ request page of SBS’ ‘Inkigayo’ has been flooded with fans asking for JYJ’s Junsu to appear on the show. This has been happening for all three major music programs, including KBS’ ‘Music Bank’ and MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’.

One viewer stated, “Till when will you tread on glass around large entertainment agencies and concede to their every whim,” and “Viewers are bored with the same celebrities always appearing on the show, and people don’t watch the show anymore because they’re bored.”

They continued to add, “The FTC have made their verdict, and now is the time to give Junsu an chance,” and “We want to see Junsu, the frontrunner of K-pop, on a broadcasted stage in Korea.”

JYJ left TVXQ in 2009 and since then, have been unable to appear on broadcasted music programs due to external pressure. The FTC recently found SM Entertainment and the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Arts Industries guilty of interfering with JYJ’s activities. With the FTC’s verdict made on the 24th, JYJ’s fans began expecting to see JYJ on stage in the near future.

However, the staff of the show have stayed silent, regardless of the viewers’ requests. Although it has become the hottest issue of the week in K-pop, not a single staff member of any broadcasted music program has expressed his or her opinion on the matter through official posts, SNS accounts or news articles.

In order to ‘strengthen communication with viewers’, all three major broadcasted music programs have incorporated SNS points, and text message votes into their ranking systems, but they have stayed silent when it comes to requests made by the viewers themselves. Broadcasting companies use viewers when they need to, but do not reflect their requests or opinions at all.

Another viewer stated, “Legally, all restrictions against JYJ have disappeared,” and “We hope that the media remembers that their most important role is to promote fairness.” It is time for the staff of music programs to express their official stance to gain the trust of their viewers.
