i juz read this...
hopefully,
it's not true...
or else...
i'm so gonna kill sm or smth.
i'll think of smth.
how can they be so evil to my darlings...
yea...
and not juz my darlings...
other nice ppl too.
sm is PURE EVIL!!!
(it's a post on imeem):
This was on my bulletin on myspace. And I've been
reading about it everywhere! I've been pretty curious about it... so I
just wanted to inform those who didn't know. I haven't found any
official news about their album or anything like that, but this post
was very informative anyway. So even if it's not true (that DBSK is
disbanding after 2008), you should read this analysis 'cause it's still
very good. This person brought up general facts about the way things
work in the Korean music industry (like good seasons for album sales)
I really don't think it's true...which means I'm gossipping...
I'm not worried about it at all becuase if they were forced to disband,
they could always just sign with another company. They're so popular
(like Shinhwa was), I don't think that any other company would pass up
the opportunity to take them in after SM. Also, they are all immensely
talented. Even if they were forced to disband (which is highly
unlikely, I think), we would still see them working. I don't think SM
would let them go just like that. Anyway, just to be safe, VOTE FOR DBSK at the link given!
I know I'm more biased towards Super Junior now (although I liked DBSK
before them), I still like DBSK, and I just wanted to be "safe."
Besides, there's no threat to SuJu right now. HAPPY VOTING!
Okay, this NEWS IS SPREADING ALL OVER S KOREA. I've
looked around TVfXQ Forever Forum JUST RECENTLY posted this by:
¶«·½ÉñÆ𳬼¶·ÛË¿ , and many other sites and articles have been saying
this too. Plus, SM themself had said this earlier this year: 2007.
Everyone know's that SM has that "5 year limit" on all their bands
right (HOT, Shinwa being the more famous ones)? the 5 year curse as
some can say? Well, DBSK debuted in 2004 as all u know,...2008 is the
5TH YEAR. Everyone must know or have some idea that SM is eyeing this
topic right now. It is rumored that SM wants to claim Super Junior as
their BEST group, so their not disbanding SuJu. So is it starting to
clear a bit???
When u think about it, SM (LSM too i believe is also masterminding this) have done stuff to reduce DBSK:
1. DBSK is has not been in S Korea much anymore. Thus, SM is reducing their popularity and having a good reason to disband DBSK
2.
Haven't many people realized that many variety shows these days in S
Korea are promoting Super Junior as "the #1" or "the best" Korean boy
band now and not saying "ONE OF THE BEST"??? [as a result reducing more
of DBSK's popularity] SM DOES KNOW that Cassiopeia has a HUGE power
over the music industry. I don't believe SM would just allow all these
shows to just promote Super Junior like that without considering what
Cassiopeia will do
3. THE MOST IMPORTANT: the BEST TIME to
release new albums and songs in Asia AND in ANY PART OF THE WORLD would
be always around August or the middle of the year. the reason: ALBUMS
GET AWARDS AT THE HUGE AWARDS CEREMONIES/SHOWS that occur in November
and December. When an album of an older band, like DBSK, promote some
new album in January [the WORST day to promote and to release albums]
NO AWARDS and RECOGNITION can be attached to the so not much of an
album sale will happen. For "newcomers" January IS the best because the
debut at this shows and will catch people's attentions, so debut CD
sales in January will not fall but rise. Because SM is selling the 4th
DBSK album in JANUARY of 2008, they are hoping that sales will drop as
expected and have a better reason to disband DBSK
Why is Super
Junior picked to replace DBSK??? What will happen to Super Junior from
all this??? First off, SuJu is HERE TO STAY. According to articles and
rumors, they ALL say that Super Junior is picked becuase of the CLOSE
RELATIONSHIP DBSK has to them. SM is hoping to PREVENT the same events
that occured during HOT's disbandment by hoping the close relationship
DBSK and SuJu have will convince Cassiopeia members to buy SuJu singles
and albums as a way to remember DBSK. As a result, SM will not loose
any profit.
SM had taken the FIRST measures by CREATING AN
ONLINE SURVEY/POLL. This poll is to see the difference in popularity
betweent DBSK and Super Junior. Here is how it works. IF DBSK looses
this poll, then next year will be their last year. IF DBSK wins by JUST
A LITTLE BIT, then they STILL have to disband. THE ONLY WAY DBSK STAYS
is IF they win over Super Junior by DOUBLE or TRIPLE Super Junior's
vote count. In other words...DBSK HAS TO WIN BY A LOT FOR US TO
TEMPORARILY PROTECT THEM FROM BEING DISBANDED. If Super Junior lost?
They will not be disbanded. No rumors or news of that have been found
by me on the internet at all and no rumor of SuJu disbanding if they
lost is heard by my cousin.
Also, to prevent the excuse of DBSK
sale's in their 4th album dropping so they must disband, we have to try
and buy thier 4th album, released in January, to prove to SM [and not
to mention --- > LSM] that we all love DBSK very much and would LOVE
to see them stay longer. As a result, DBSK will have a chance to escape
SM's 5 year limit.
now this next news is totally wonderful...
i'm kinda reassure by like 10%...
It was written on Asihi newspaper on 7th August, “Dong Bang Shin Ki has fended off rumours for disband. Dong Bang Shin Ki had performed in Tokyo for the 30th 神宮 fireworks festival on 6th August.”
The news added, “They have assured worried fans about rumours to their disband. After the live performance that day, they had said, ‘Very enjoyable. We want to do this again’.”
“This is their first stage after news of danger of their disbanding, Dong Bang Shin Ki showed that those news are just rumours and are not affected by those news at all. Xiah JunSu said, ‘We are very excited that many people came to see our performance. We want to perform on this stage next year too’.”
Lastly the news said, “We look forward to more performances by Dong Bang Shin Ki, proving the disbanding rumours wrong.”

DBSK: DISBAND? NOT.
With all the response and confusion that allkpop has been getting about this whole TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki issue, we hope that this comprehensive list will clear up any miscommunications that may have arisen from information posted previously.
First, the facts:
1. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu filed a lawsuit against SME (SM Entertainment) in order to suspend their contract.
2. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu did plan to manage a branch of a cosmetics company. This did NOT however relate nor tie into the lawsuit.
3. Yunho and Changmin are NOT filing a lawsuit against SME along with their fellow three members.
4. SM has been taking anywhere from 70-90% of TVXQ's profits.
5. TVXQ is also signed with AVEX Entertainment (Japanese entertainment label) and still scheduled for A-Nation concerts throughout August.
6. There have been NO talks of disbandment.
Addressing the facts:
1. The lawsuit suspends the three members' contracts while pending. Popular belief is that they want to renegotiate parts of their contracts, POSSIBLY because of SM's disapproval of fact number two.
2. This is a fact, enough said. SM released a statement that "The cosmetics company issue will be resolved", but that statement did not refer to the injunction filed by Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu.
3. They are not, and this is why rumors of a breakup started flying because of this inconsistency within the members. It is just a coincidence that the two are not involved with the cosmetics company are also not filing a lawsuit against SME.
4. Yes but, to an extent, this is not as extreme as many people think. SME does take an unheard of amount from TVXQ, but they also pay for anything and everything the members need. This includes plane tickets, hotel suites, meals, car rentals, etc. This effectively makes it so that TVXQ members do not have to spend a penny while under contract, but it does bind them to SME and prevents them from doing anything that would require large amounts of money (such as splitting from the SM label) without approval from SM. This has not affected the lawsuit at all, as neither TVXQ nor SM has said anything regarding the issue of pay.
5. This fact proves that SM cannot just disband TVXQ without legal repercussions. If SM were to disband TVXQ, AVEX would also lose a lot of money on the situation and would obviously sue. TVXQ also performed without incident today (August 1st) for A-Nation.
6. Nowhere has there been a statement about disbandment or splitting. TVXQ members and SM have not said anything regarding the issue. Mentions of Disbandment are just assumptions by the media and fans at large because of the lawsuit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, the rumors:
1. There has been fighting among TVXQ members which has caused talks of disbandment.
2. Junsu's father was at the head of the preparations to sue SME when SM caught word of the pending lawsuit and proceeded to bully around Junsu.
3. TVXQ members responded on their Cyworld mini hompages with messages suggesting that disbandment was highly unlikely.
4. TVXQ is under the same situation as their predecessors, H.O.T. and Shinhwa (maybe even S.E.S.).
5. TVXQ is in this for the money.
6. Yunho and Changmin have resigned with SM under a new contract.
Regarding the rumors:
1. No, there has not been ANY fighting among TVXQ members and this was clearly addressed in a previous article.
2. This still just a rumor and nothing has been confirmed, but many Korean bloggers have caught a hold of this specific issue and have been discussing, so there is still some validity.
3. Yes, this has been proven to be false. Contrary to popular belief however, allkpop never confirmed this was true and even stated that the pictures were most likely fake. allkpop is trying to keep readers up to date with anything and everything that may arise about this situation. With hot issues like these, getting news up quickly is our first priority and when things are disproven, we will take measures to address the situation. We realize that this is a sensitive issue to many of our readers and we ask that you take everything that is not posted as cold hard facts, with a grain of salt.
4. Although the whole situation may remind some people of what happened with H.O.T and Shinhwa, the circumstances are very different. Many people have many different opinions on this, but the situations are not parallel.
5. The insane split of profits with SM may have something to do with the pending lawsuit, but more than likely not. The 10-30% that TVXQ receives in profits is still more than the average upperclass American citizen makes in 10 years. More than likely, money has no part to play in this lawsuit.
6. Rumors have been going around that the two of them decided to stay with SM but this is confirmed to be NOT TRUE according to the official TVXQ fansite.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, speculation (NOTE: these are all predictions and outcomes that have been expressed by both the non-Korean AND Korean parties. Please take these with a grain of salt) :
1. TVXQ will leave the SM label and continue their promotions under a different or possibly independent label.
2. TVXQ will break up and SM will lose lots of money, possibly leading to a shutdown of the company.
Response to speculations:
1. At the current moment, this is the most popular outcome that most people agree upon. They believe that TVXQ will win this lawsuit, leave SM and start an independent label or sign with another big label such as JYP or YG. In my opinion, this is highly unlikely. The lawsuit has nothing to do with terminating TVXQ's contract with SM. Along with that, SM has a lot of influence over MBC, KBS, and SBS and can easily prevent TVXQ from performing on any of their music shows and cause many hardships for TVXQ. This is what happened with Shinhwa. On the other hand, TVXQ is arguably THE hottest band in K-pop and promotions aren't necessarily needed in order to sell albums.
2. This is, in my opinion, highly unlikely unless SM plays a part in breaking them up. There is no proof that any of the members have any beef with one another. This is just an outcome that anti-fans have come up with to dishearten others. But please remember, the possibility is not ruled out and everything is up in the air until official statements from both parties are released.
