After the initial announcement regarding JYJ‘s win against Avex, C-JeS Entertainment has revealed details regarding the ruling received.

According to C-JeS, the Japanese court ruled that Avex cannot insist on JYJ’s sole management in Japan, and ordered the management company to pay JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment 660 million Yen (~ 7.3 million USD). The court also acknowledged the fact that Avex has defamed C-JeS’s CEO, and as such, ruled that they also pay the CEO 1 million Yen (~ 11,000 USD).

To recap, JYJ and Avex suspended their exclusive contract back in 2010 and as the conflict of promoting in Japan escalated between them, Avex had released a public notice that falsely claimed that C-JeS’s CEO was affiliated with gangsters and brought about the halt of promotions in Japan for the group. They also insisted that they had sole management over JYJ’s Japanese activities and interfered with the group’s attempt to put on a charity concert back in 2011, which led to the lawsuit.

In response to the ruling received in court today (18th), Avex has already made it clear through an announcement on their homepage that they cannot accept the decision and that they will be filing an appeal.

JYJ explained why they ultimately decided to leave their former label.

Their new magazine ‘The JYJ‘ was recently released, and has 139 pages in all including their various interviews which lasted a total of 25 hours.

On the subject of their former label, Jaejoong admitted that friction first began because of issues they had with a cosmetics company stating, “I agreed not to do it, but it was as if they were treating us like children.”
Junsu talked about how their income did not increase even though they participated in more endorsements and CD sales rose, as well as the problems with the 13 year contract. He revealed, “I was so physically and mentally exhausted that I really wished we could just sleep for 2 hours a day. If we only had things to lose, what choice did we really have?“.

Yoochun added, “We talked about improving the system and situation with the label, but in reality, things didn’t really change much.“

JYJ will be releasing a magazine reflecting over their last 1000 days in Korea and Japan.

On the 21st, C-JeS Entertainment stated, “To celebrate the 1000th day since JYJ came to be, we will be releasing the interview magazine in both Korea and Japan. We will be telling the story of their worldwide English album, the world tour, and the music and dramas they worked for with their individual activities since the birth of JYJ.”
They continued, “JYJ fought a lengthy legal battle against their unfair contract for 3 years. They’ve earned their freedom and in turn created a better environment for their hoobaes. They talked about the how they felt about being limited on their activities, and also about how hard they worked in other areas instead of giving up.”

According to their label, the interview was held for over 25 hours and has 139 pages in all. It also comes with a special DVD. The members also teared up when talking about their hardships and those who helped them.

JYJ said, “We had some hard times over the last 1000 days, but we can also say we were genuinely happy. We tried hard and also met unexpected hardships, but we were able to grow that much more and learn from it. We want to share the 1000 day story where we were happy from the moment of waking up in the morning until going to sleep at night every day.”

The magazine will be released in early February.

Entertainment agency C-JeS Entertainment’s CEO Baek Chang Joo stated that his goal is “To make JYJ a long-running group.”

CEO Baek Chang Joo, who is in charge of running JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment, drew the attention of many when he stated that this was his goal in the first edition of the ‘THE JYJ’ magazine, which contains the current whereabouts of the members and honest interviews from them.
In the interview, CEO Baek stated, “JYJ will continue to consistently hold world tours,” and “I want to make JYJ a long-running group.”

He stated, “When I’m asked what my goal is, I always say, ‘To survive’. I don’t know exactly till when, but I believe that ‘surviving till the end’ is very important. It’s not that the strong are the ones who survive, but that those who survive are strong,” and “Just because one is doing well now, doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to keep doing well in the future.”

The first edition of ‘THE JYJ’ contains honest interviews from the members that took place over 25 hours, as well as their memories of the past 1000 days as members of JYJ. A DVD containing 40 minutes of unreleased footage is also included in the magazine. ‘THE JYJ’ will be released every six months and will be catered to JYJ’s fans.

Meanwhile, JYJ have been active as ‘Korea’s representative group’ through various state events and honorary ambassador jobs, including performing at the 18th Presidential Inauguration ceremony.

They ended their lawsuit with SM Entertainment last November in three years and four months, and won their lawsuit against Japan’s AVEX on the 18th of January. As JYJ are now free to pursue activities in Japan, they are planning to greet fans in Japan for the first time in four years in Tokyo Dome in April.

Last year, Asia Bridge Contents filed a lawsuit against JYJ‘s agency C-JeS Entertainment demanding a refund of 1 billion won ($921,192) in production costs. However, on November 23rd, the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of C-JeS Entertainment.

The company had signed an album production contract with a composer identified as ‘K‘ and paid the sum as an advance in April of 2010. ‘K’ had been under contract for the production of JYJ’s ‘The Beginning‘ album.

Last year, however, the company filed a lawsuit against C-JeS Entertainment demanding their refund of the advance.

The court has finally made their decision today and found that C-JeS Entertainment was not liable, reasoning, “This is a matter between Asia Bridge Contents and ‘K’, and does not involve C-JeS Entertainment in any way. C-JeS Entertainment is not obligated to refund the sum being demanded of them.”

We previously reported that JYJ‘s Jaejoong‘s Twitter account had been deleted. With fans voicing their concerns and false rumors spreading, C-JeS Entertainment has addressed the reason behind the deactivation of the singer’s Twitter account.

As mentioned previously, the last tweet seen on Jaejoong’s Twitter had read, “I must be getting punished..” It turns out those words had not been written by Jaejoong, but rather by an individual who had hacked his account.

C-JeS told TVdaily, “Early in the morning, Kim Jaejoong had symptoms of a cold so he posted ‘Ah.. I’m getting a cold.. My head is starting to hurt.. Anyways.. Jackal is Coming Aja’, and then went to sleep.” They explained that the account had been hacked afterwards and Jaejoong had decided to leave Twitter due to the incident.

In addition to the hacking, rumors had been afloat that Jaejoong had been rushed to the emergency room after receiving shock due to getting hacked. However, C-JeS put the rumors to rest as they commented, “This is not true. He had a bit of a cold and since he needs to leave the country for a fan meeting, he just went to the hospital to check up on his condition.”

“When he had woken up to go visit the hospital, he realized his Twitter had been hacked, and after informing the agency about the hacking, he decided to leave Twitter,” they further explained.

As fans know, this is not the first time the singer has been hacked. He warned previously that if he was continued to be hacked that he would get rid of his Twitter, and it seems he has now followed through with his warning.

Different from his mysterious appearance, JYJ‘s Jaejoong laid out some honest talk on the table during a recent interview. Although it is said that a C-JeS Entertainment representative present during the interview seemed uneasy listening to the singer’s non-sugar coated answers, Jaejoong did not hold back on expressing his honesty, and this side of Jaejoong was much more appealing.

During one point during the interview, the JYJ member was asked if he had ever been set up on a date. He responded saying, “I have [been on a blind date] twice. We didn’t make it official, though. After we went out on a date, I found out she was an ‘idol killer’. She had gone out with a member of a famous idol group, and she continued dating one idol after another. She was really pretty, nice, had a nice personality, and was also well off. But after I found out [about her past] I ended it completely and didn’t see her again. Friendship comes first for me, and I found out she had gone out with some of my close friends. Those friends had been fooled as well.”

In addition, when asked about his ideal type, he answered, “I don’t know. I think I’ll have to meet more women to find out. I don’t really want to date, and I think I need to find someone that can really become my woman. I want a girl that will only look at me… When I was younger, I used to judge girls based on appearance but now I don’t think that matters. It’s more important for her to have a good attitude.”

During the interview, the artist also talked about his first historic role on ‘Time Slip Dr. Jin‘.

On March 20th, media outlet Dispatch released what they claimed to be a full version of the original audio file of JYJ‘s Jaejoong that had not been fully revealed previously.

Dispatch reported that a total of 11 accounts of violence and 78 accounts of swearing of member Kim Jaejoong can be heard in the 10 minute clip. The article goes on to quote controversial clips of Jaejoong, such as, “I wish I wasn’t a Korean citizen,” and “I hit them often and even went to the police.”

They also claim that they have interviewed 20 other sasaeng fans who have given testimonials about the members hitting fans when it wasn’t called for. According to them, violence and swearing took place when Jaejoong had gone to see his girlfriend. They claim that the singer resorted to violence due to not wanting their date to become exposed, rather than sasaeng fans provoking him.

The article continues, saying that the image of sasaengs were exaggerated by other media. Extreme cases of sasaeng fans have resorted to extreme behaviors, but that “most of them just followed them to see them a bit up close.”

The Dispatch article titled, “Has the original nature of JYJ been covered up under the excuse of sasaengs? The uncomfortable truth behind JYJ and their assault case,” stated, “The assault case was wrapped up to look as if Jaejoong, the attacker, was the victim of the sasaeng. They used violence on hardcore fans, not just on extreme sasaeng fans, and thus this goes beyond how much they suffering they had to endure while living as a star, and whether their violence was justified.”

C-JeS Entertainment was quick to step up immediately after the release of the file and the article, revealing that they had already drafted up a lawsuit against Dispatch, and were planning to press charges for defamation of character.

On March 20th, C-JeS Entertainment stated, “The article with the additional file released by Dispatch today has no intention other than to bring harm to the members of JYJ. We can no longer stand by and watch the release of such hateful articles and have decided to take legal action.”

Sejong, their legal representatives, added, “It is definite defamation as well as an invasion of privacy to release an illegal recording without even confirming with the person they claim the recording is of.”

Moreover, C-JeS Entertainment officials revealed that they “cannot comprehend” Dispatch, especially since this comes just after the passing of Yoochun‘s father.

Earlier today, we reported that JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun’s father passed away on March 14. Unfortunately, Park Yoo Chun was on the plane, on his way back to South Korea after JYJ’s concerts in South America, when the news of his father’s passing broke. Just minutes ago, he landed at Incheon International Airport and was bombarded by the press.

A representative of C-Jes entertainment stated, “A crowd of reporters and fans gathered at the airport and the funeral hall at the hospital, making it extremely difficult to maintain control. We have sent our agency’s employees to the hospital to help control the situation.” Meanwhile, Yoo Chun’s younger brother, actor Park Yoo Hwan, and his mother are by their deceased father’s side at the funeral hall, waiting for Yoo Chun.

JYJ has announced that they’ll soon be performing in South America!

On January 4th, C-Jes Entertainment revealed, “JYJ’s South American tour has been confirmed. JYJ’s solo concert will be held on March 9th in Chile followed by March 11th in Peru.”

The March 9th concert will be held in Santiago, Chile at the Teatro Caupolican, while the March 11th show will be held in Lima, Peru at the Explanada Sur del Estadio Monumental.

The South American promotion agency for JYJ remarked, “The popularity of JYJ in South America is in a different class altogether from the craze for K-Pop. Their popularity exceeds that of domestic artists as well as American pop artists, and they have the passionate support of teens as well as those in their 20′s.”

The JYJ members stated, “The countries are very far with flight times over 30 hours. After releasing an English album in 2010 with Kanye West and Rodney Jerkins, the amount of fans in the Americas have grown rapidly. Thus, although the [countries] are so far away, they have always felt familiar [to us].”

They continued, “During the 2010 Worldwide Album Showcase, many South American fans came to our concerts in cities like L.A. and San Francisco, and even to Europe; they’ve wanted us to come to South America for a long time. We are happy that we can keep our promise to our fans, and we will prepare a perfect performance to match the passion of South America.”

Baek Chang Joo, CEO of C-Jes, stated, “The K-Pop craze and JYJ’s happiness have different paths. …We don’t want this to be thought of as Hallyu’s new challenge. It’s not about where one goes to hold their first overseas concert, it’s about how much substance and what kind of content is brought into the shows.”

He continued, “This is not a concert meant to try and gain new fans, this is a concert where we wanted to repay the JYJ fans for their love and support. For the South American fans who have waited so long, we will put on a well-made performance filled with JYJ’s vocals and amazing harmonies, as well as numerous other performances.”

JYJ's Jaejoong recently traveled to Shanghai, China to hold a solo fan meet in response to the love his Chinese fans gave him during his role on "Protect the Boss."

On December 10, Jaejoong met with 4,000 fans at the Shanghai International Gymnastics Center. Because all 4,000 seats were sold out as soon as tickets went on sale, about a thousand fans were reported to have stood outside the stadium in support of the star.

Sponsors of the fan meet revealed, "Chinese fans watched his drama online on SBS live instead of waiting for it to be broadcast in China later. JYJ's Jaejoong has such high popularity already, and his character as 'Cha Moowon' only amplified that further. About a thousand fans that couldn't purchase the tickets supported the star outside despite the cold weather, which surprised us all."

Officials of C-JeS Entertainment added, "Thanks to Jaejoong's popularity, 'Protect the Boss' has been showing outstanding international sales. Fans from all over the world have been making endless requests for him to come and visit."

Right from his arrival at the airport, Jaejoong was greeted by a thousand fans that eventually froze the airport, leading Jaejoong to exit through a special VIP hall.

During the fan meet, Jaejoong picked out handwritten questions by his fans and held a Q&A session. He also chose special fans through a lottery and personally called them up on their cell phones and even played games with them.

"I know that I have a lot of supporters in China, and I'm sorry that I can't visit often. Thank you so much for showing unchanging love during my visit. I promise to work hard to become a better actor and singer in the future," Jaejoong said.

Jaejoong is currently composing songs for JYJ's next album while reviewing potential dramas.

It’s just been reported that JYJ‘s Jaejoong has delayed his military enlistment, citing ‘overseas stay’ as his reason. At this time, his enlistment date has been pushed back to August 31st, 2012. However, if he wishes to postpone his enlistment date then, he will be able to request for a deferment, provided that he has a reasonable excuse.

Jaejoong received his military draft notice back in September. Although he’s currently a student enrolled in Kyung Hee Cyber University as a communications major, he’s reached the age of 24. Consequently, he’s of age where he could be included in the draft despite still being a student.

C-Jes Entertainment told Dispatch over the phone, “Jaejoong has requested for a deferment of military enlistment. He has received permission from the Military Manpower Administration. The enlistment was postponed since there are a lot of overseas promotions this year. There is no problem with him promoting until August of next year.”

The agency’s decision to cite “overseas stay” as the reason for deferment rather than school immediately caught the public’s attention. Some netizens even began to whisper that Jaejoong couldn’t use school as his excuse because he was expelled.

C-Jes brushed off the rumors, stating, “Even during the recent Europe concerts, Jaejoong wrote up 2~3 reports to submit. He is that dedicated.” They also clarified, “Since JYJ frequently has overseas concerts, we submitted documents citing overseas stay, rather than school.”

Although he spends most of his time in Korea rather than overseas (60% compared to 40%), there were no legal problems over his ‘overseas stay’ excuse. A source from the Military Manpower Administration stated, “He doesn’t have to stay overseas during the entire time of his deferment, just because he cited that as his reason… Once the permission is given, it is possible for him to go back and forth between Korea and other countries.”

Although Jaejoong has deferred his enlistment for now, he will have to provide another valid reason if he does not wish to enlist after September of next year. C-Jes stated, “It is a given that a man with a healthy body will be recruited into the military. Since, for the time being, there are overseas promotions lined up, deferment of enlistment was unavoidable. However, Jaejoong is definitely planning to enlist.”

Meanwhile, back in February, Yoochun underwent a physical examination for his own military draft; he was classified as needing review for a chronic asthma condition. He was also categorized as 7th rank in his first formal review back in August. Since reviews can be conducted up to 3 times, the results of the remaining 2 reviews will determine whether or not he will enlist. (Receiving 7th rank in physical examinations for military enlistment usually means the individual is not valid for active military duty due to physical illnesses or conditions)

The Military Manpower Administration stated, “Usually when receiving reviews, a set amount of time period is given for medical treatment. 6 months, or sometimes 4 months, is decided as the treatment period. The progress is checked and the decision is made… An individual can receive up to 3 reviews. With the results from the last review, enlistment or exemption will be decided.”

On February 17th, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed both lawsuits filed by SM Entertainment against JYJ.

To recap, SM Entertainment filed an objection on October 27th, 2009, claiming that the Seoul Central District Court’s order to prevent them from interfering with JYJ’s individual activities was illegal.

The court rejected SM’s injunction objection application by stating, “The exclusive contract between SM and JYJ forces the celebrity to become subordinate to the agency without any discretion. JYJ has no option but to follow SM’s actions due to the subordinate rank they are forced under in the power of SM. A long-term subordinate contract cannot be justified by the risks the agency took in investments, as well as international advancements.”

They continued, ”Aside from the long-term contract terms, SM’s ability to supervise and direct every move made by JYJ, as well as the clause claiming that JYJ must repay for losses only emphasizes the subordinate positions of JYJ in the contract, so the injunction is invalid.”

Regarding the second injunction filed by SM Entertainment, asking the court to suspend JYJ’s contract with CJES Entertainment, the court replied by saying that the injunction is invalid since SM Entertainment was ordered on October 27th, 2009 that they were to not interfere with JYJ’s individual activities, and their injunction was in breach of that order.

Baek Chang Ju, CEO of CJES Entertainment, commented, “We consider it a victory of truth and hope that their activities are no longer hindered by forced accusations of double contracts. We will be working hard to show only the best side of JYJ to the public. I would like to thank the JYJ members and the staff for consistently battling a tiring fight against Goliath.”

In conclusion, the exclusive contract between SM and JYJ is invalid, and JYJ’s individual activities are legal.

—

[UPDATE #1]

—

Representatives of SM Entertainment stated in the aftermath of the ruling, “The legal battle between SM and JYJ is not yet over. This court decision is merely regarding a preliminary injunction, this does not mean that the exclusive contract between SM and JYJ is invalid. The original lawsuit is still ongoing, and the date of pleading will be sometime in mid-March. Through the original lawsuit, the truth will be investigated, and we will be working to make sure that their contracts are still valid.”

—

[UPDATE #2]

—

Meanwhile, Xiah Junsu tweeted to thank the fans, in response to the ruling, “All of you fans did not let go of the dangerous and risky string and helped us in withstanding everything.. Even when the string bled through our skin and wounded us, it was because all of you that cleaned and treated us that we were able to hold on until the end.. Thank you, genuinely.”

—

[UPDATE #3]

—

Jaejoong also tweeted, “I feel like those invisible things that are endlessly bumped against each other will keep repeating themselves.. But for this moment today, i’m short of breath as i’m overwhelmed with gratitude toward everyone.”
