SM Entertainment, an agency locked in a dispute with a few of the members of TVXQ, has called for these members to pay 2.2 billion Won (approximately 2 million USD) in compensation for damages while the three members’ side has stated that they were expecting this action and were calmly preparing against it. According to the Seoul District Courts on the 14th, SME filed for a lawsuit to confirm the continued existence of the contract and an objection to the verdict of the Exclusive Contract Suspension Injunction against Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu, and YoungWoong Jaejoong. SM stated, “The three members started this lawsuit only for ‘money’,” and “After the verdict for the injunction was given, the three members avoided their set schedules which caused considerable damage to the other members. We call for a compensation for damages of 2.2 billion Won for the cancellation of the Shenzhen concert and the fees for the cosmetic advertisements.” In refutation to this, Lawyer Lim Sang Hyuk of Sejong Law Firm, who is in charge of the three members, stated that, “This was something we’ve been expecting,” and “We should be the ones filing for compensation for damages. We will calmly form our rebuttal against this lawsuit.”After learning of the lawsuit on the 13th, Lawyer Lim stated, “Since we saw this coming and prepared for it, we will carry on calmly.” It can be said that the legal dispute between the three members of TVXQ and SME are about to become more heated.

[TRANS] 100404 “I Believe That Tohoshinki Will Come Back with Smiling Faces”

A Reporter’s View On the 3rd, an announcement was made by avex that the Korean dance-vocal quintet Tohoshinki, whose total sales in Japan have exceeded 5 million copies and who has appeared on NHK’s Kouhaku Utagassen for 2 consecutive years, will be taking an indefinite break. The reason of this is known to be because of the contract dispute between their Korean company and the 3 members, and after a conference made between the 5 of them and the officials from both Japan and Korea, they have come to a decision to suspend their activities. From now on they will be focusing on their solo activities. Tohoshinki who had already been a top star in Korea started in Japan as a new artist, mastered the language, and did their activities steadily and honestly. In the beginning, most of their fans consist of women in their 30s and 40s who are Hallyu fans. However, after their great efforts to improve their dancing and singing in Japanese, their fanbase has spread to females who are in their 10s and 20s, and they have become a top star in Japan. Because the cause of this is the contract dispute with their Korean company, with such great efforts that they’re carrying, this break is not something we should be sad about. Because the cause is definitely not that the members hate each other. I want them to do well with their solo activities, and I want to wait believing that the 5 of them to come back with great success and smiles on their faces.

[Trans] ARENA37°C April Issue

Releasing “break out” in january and on 2/17 they released the “best selection 2010″ their best album that is full with their past hard works. They both made a record and was a huge hit. They are a big group now that needs no explanation of who they are. Many media’s have said how their dance and songs have great quality.

That it true but that’s not the only charm. Each of their characters, how they treat theirfans, how they treat the media always with a smile, and always being honest and looking straight forward. When you make into words it sounds so easy but that is something you can’t do easily. If I exaggerate a little you can say that they are great as a human being. That’s why when you listen to their songs you want to listen to their human nature. When they sing a love song you can see how they understand the story,when they overlap the harmony with their voices, and how they look at each other and care about them. You can’t just label them as people who are good at dancing and singing.

On 3/24 they are releasing their 30th single CD, the song that was in the best album too “Toki wo tomete”. It was used as a television commercial song. Many fans were waiting for this song to be released. In the intro its as if jaejoong is whispering and junsu’s beautiful but a bit sad voice heats up the song, when it comes to the bridge of thesong, Yoochun’s sexy voice, Yunho’s strong voice, and Changmin’s voice that can become high to low makes the song dramatic. “Stop the time and I want to be near you”. It has a strong and straight forward feeling that isn’t just beautiful but stable. Near the end the piano makes you imagine the sky full of stars. The second chorus part where Jaejoongsings “I can’t say I love you well”好きだよって上手く言えなくって」 represents Tohoshinki’s many love songs that has the theme “Love that passed by”通り過ぎた恋.

Each sings a phrase that can be used in a movie or a drama. You can’t explain in words but they make the climax natural. The song after “Toki wo tomete” is Yunho’s“Checkmate”. Yunho sang this at the 2009 concert, it has a sexy dance that is unforgettable. Usually he stands as the leader and looking our for the members but when he sings the solo song he puts out all of him. When you listen to this song once again with the tokyo dome, you want to have fun and enjoy it again but “Tohoshinki 4th live tour 2009 ~thesecret code~ final in tokyo dome” blu-ray is going to be released on3/17. You have to check that out.

Also on the same day the DVD withTohoshinki’s PV’s “Tohoshinki video clip collection -the one-” will be released. From “stay with me tonight” to “break out ” will be in it, making it total of 26 clips. Same with the CD’s and lives you can tell the history of tohoshinki. And on 3/24 tohoshinki’s mix cd with all their great songs are going to be released, their 2nd mix cd “TVXQ NONSTOP-MIX VOL.2″. From their strong songs to sweet ballads a CD that you can enjoy.

From all the items that are going to be released it seems that you will be able to feel the five’s moving steps.

[Trans] 2010 non-no magazine No.6 3/20

Jejung
I’m a bit masochistic during work. I don’t want to become overly full of myself.
Even though I thought my image in my first meeting was very important…how should I say this…my image was a bit weak?? It’s more like I looked like a bad boy. But after I debuted in Japan I became a brighter. I thought my image was colder in Korea, and I wanted to change my image a bit. I mean, wouldn’t you dislike it if my personality was the same as my appearance? I’m sad when people misunderstand me. For example, if Junsu says “Idiot!”, others would see it like a joke. But if I say the same thing, everyone would probably think I really mean it. The normal Jejung is absolutely not cold at all~ If I had to say it in one word, I’m a bit M (laughs). When everyone says “I’m tired~ It’s too bothersome~”, I’ll say “I’ll do it first!” Changmin is the same. We like work!! I am a bit spontaneous too. I would suddenly become happy and sad sometimes, a bit masochistic in work, but I think I’m an S-type in love… But I’m conscious of these sides. Because I know myself the best (laughs). I want to treasure this gap. Well, I don’t want to become overly full of myself (Lit: Doesn’t want to refer to himself as ore-sama). I would hate that. I want to become a friendly companion to everyone.

Yuchun
I have various charms (laughs)
I’m not really sure about myself, but people around me say I’m free, sexy, difficult to approach, and other things… But I guess that means I’m charming in various ways! Hahaha (laughs)!! I always treasure the people I like, like the staff, my family, and others close to me, but to not let others who don’t really know me misunderstand me, I usually only say greetings. That’s why, I hear that I have a cold personality often. They tell me greetings are different from properly talking to them. It’s not that I’m afraid of showing myself to others, but I’m not good at making friends with others from the start. But personally, I think greetings are important, and I greet others often, so I wonder why others still tell me that I have a cold personality… (laughs bitterly). When I’m with the members, I get high when Junsu does. I really want to thank him for being sensitive (lit: reading the atmosphere)and livening up the atmosphere at times. But I’m quick at reading the atmosphere/situation too! It’s not that I consciously read into something, but I can feel it immediately from others’ expressions and their words. But when I’m too sensitive to others reactions (lit: read too much into atmosphere) and hold back what I want to say, I feel like exploding from stress. To move forward from those times, and to forget things I want to forget, I hint to them sometimes. If I do that, I really do forget after a month. I’m proud of that (laughs). Well, I’m basically a positive person! I enjoy work too! I feel lucky.

Yunho
I’ll protect the person I love with my life
I work hard as Tohoshinki’s leader, but when I’m with my friends or members, I’m just a normal guy. I am courteous, and tell jokes too. Although my original personality doesn’t change, I’m different from the Yunho you see at work. I’m a bit more energetic. Changmin always tells me, “Yunho-aniki (older brother) seems pure and simple like a high school student.” That’s because Changmin usually emits more of an aura than I do (laughs). Lately, I personally enjoy traveling here and there. Even when I’m busy, I try to make time for travelling. Changmin is filming in Jejudo right now, and I went there to cheer him on, telling him to do his best. I also snowboarded there! It was a great adventure. I didn’t know how people my age pass their days before. I wore a mask and a cap, and dressed like a normal university student. Just by walking here and there in that 5-6 hours, I felt that there are so many people living their various lives to the fullest. That became my drive, and I carried a new attitude towards my work. Because I’m the leader, I tend to be the leading type in love. If I like someone, I would date her for a long time, like 3-4 years. I cannot date or love someone lightly. But I would probably observe her as a friend for 2-3 years before dating her. If I then think she really is a good girl, I would immediately confess to her. But right now, I still have my dreams and I need to work hard at my job and level myself up. After that, I’ll protect the girl I love with my life.Photo Inspired by Purple Line

Changmin
Recently, I’ve become more mature and fixed my shyness.
Even though it’s embarrassing to say this out of my own mouth, I thought that I had the face of a “good boy” and a “good student” from a long time ago. But I felt pressured because of those views. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks this, but I feel that I must always show my best side to others. Contrary to everyone’s thoughts, I’m really not a good student (laughs)!! The truth is, I’m usually unsparing (when criticizing). Actually, I’m more at ease when I’m like that. I feel that I can’t hold myself back anymore, and I’ve given up completely. I’ve become colder to others. I’m determined not to look back, even when it’s in love. People often say I’m shy, but I’ve changed recently and became more mature. But I still place utmost importance when it comes to consideration for girls. I have two younger sisters, and when I was young, my father often told me to treat girls kindly. Unknowingly, it’s become part of me. I do want to be kind to my sisters…but I haven’t said it aloud. It’s a bit embarrassing tell them that I’m grateful for them and for their love because it’s family… Actually, my whole family isn’t good at saying those things. I guess we’re all shy. But we have a sharp tongue. I guess we’re that type of family (laughs).

Junsu
I want to become an adult who can handle work and love at the same time
When I’m with my members only, I’m really quiet. It isn’t that I’m super-quiet, but I’m shy. I was really shy back then, and it was worse then. I was really at loss when it came to meeting people for the first time, even in normal places. I didn’t know what I should talk about. I’m especially weak when it comes to girls (laughs). I really wanted to talk to them, but I couldn’t speak well. I’ve become better lately…but compared with the members, I’m not! Because I’m not good at talking, I like girls who are bright (Note: weird wording). But if I meet a girl I like, I’ll definitely confess to her first. That’s because I’m a guy! I work hard at telling jokes…and I really want to thank the people who tell me they’re funny even when they’re not (laughs). The funny thing is that I would tell them to myself to raise my spirits sometimes. That’s because I become happy when everyone laughs. However, I don’t want to have to think hard about carrying out jokes or relationships, I want to naturally do it. I want to live showing my true self to others. These thoughts may change as I grow older, but I really don’t know yet. But…I want to become capable adult, whether it’s for work, in private, or for my state of mind…and of course for the girl I love! It’s embarassing~~ (laughs)!!

(8) When the members were asked to write [I Like A Person..] in Korean, maybe it was because they had just finished writing it in Japanese, they suddenly could not recall the way to write it in Korean 9) Jaejoong used to like elephants, and because of that, many fans gave him elephant toys as gifts. (10) When asked what animals they like, Changmin replied dogs, but actually he was referring to his own dogs as he has no interest in other dogs (laughs).

Date: 02 February 2010 Time: 04:00

■First to break Elton John’s record of 12 years and 4 months
