We cannot accept the situation

2010-04-28 15:16:46

The results of the ticket lottery were out, how was the results?

(few sentences omitted)

Immediately after the results were announced on 13:00, the Yahoo auction was an uproar…
We knew that this will happen…
Because, this time, everyone who has registered in the a-ticket can obtain the tickets…
(T/N: There were no special reservation chances for Bigeast members in advance for this event.)

Please check here.
Yahoo Auction
(T/N: Hope you see prices of the tickets…the immediate purchase price is 100000yen, approx 1080 USD per ticket.)

If you look in carefully, some of the names are the same.
They should be professional traders.
They should have applied, using many names of their friends.

The price should go up, higher up, to the top.
Ticket Ryutsu is worse.
Everytime I go there, the numbers of tickets on sale increases.
100000yen (1080USD) per ticket? 150000yen (1630USD)?
And many are already under negotiation.

Ticket Ryutsu Center
(T/N: There are 276 cases for the dome event auction on the timing I am translating this article)

They should not have sold the ticket at a-ticket.
I could not understand what avex is thinking.
The “Thanksgiving Live” should be for the true fans.
What is the meaning of the Bigeast fan club?

(few sentences omitted)

Do you know?
Not only professional agents but also the students participate in the tickets auctions in order to increase their pocket money nowadays.
I once met a person that became a member of the Bigeast for such reasons, since they know that Tohoshinki tickets can be sold at high prices.

I was surprised that the mother (of the girl) was recommending the auction to her daughter, saying that
“It is better than to gain money from morally questionable places.”
I complained to her, using many words.
But she did not understand me.
Do you think it is right for the parents to agree on such methods?

I am so sorry that this day should come.
I heard that this time, the lottery rate for this dome event was 40 to 50 times.
CEO Max was saying in his twitter that there were more than 1 million applicants ～(＠_＠;)
What is the meaning of “Thanksgiving”, if those who really want to go could not go.
I know that the 3 members are not wishing for this situation.
avex! Please think a little bit more.

There are alternates between joy and grief for the ticket lottery, I sincerely hope that there will be no unsightly arguments…

CEO Max’s twitter

2010-04-29 02:04:1

There seemed to be tremendous amounts of complains on the twitter.
I heard that there are many protest mails sent to the Bigeast office…

But, we are fortunate enough to hear the true voice of CEO Max through the twitter, so these are the speedy good days.

I have copied the contents of Max’s twitter here.
(T/N: Please refer to the topic here for the trans)

He is saying that they have checked the personal data, and 90% of the tickets have gone to the Bigeasts.

(few sentences omitted)

How was the situation for you?

But thinking deeply, since 90% were selected from Bigeasts, the many persons giving out the tickets in the auction sites are mostly Bigeasts.
That gave me a great shock.
Are those people members of the Bigeast because they want to make profits from Tohoshinki?
I feel very frustrated.
The Bigeast magazine, which the Bigeast office dearly publishes…Are they going to the trash bins immediately after they receive them?
Or, are they also giving them out to the auctions?
I am so frustrated………

SM Entertainment had attributed the main reason for the “TVXQ’s Lawsuit” to be the cosmetics investment business by some of the TVXQ’s members and used this reason as justification to propose a 2.2 billion won in damages from the 3 members.

The declaration that SM Entertainment had submitted to Seoul Central District Court on 14th April claimed that “Some TVXQ members had invested in a cosmetic company which resulted to be the beginning of the conflict. They have used TVXQ’s name and portrait without the company’s consent and that have violated the exclusive contract. However, they denied the effectiveness of the exclusive contract and proposed the disposition for the effectiveness of the termination of the exclusive contract”. During November last year, China Beijing Kowloon Station Century Culture Communication Co. Ltd* (Gao Jian Wen, Representative. Also known as Beijing Kowloon Station Inc.) had used “The fraud of Crebeau which is the collaboration between TVXQ’s 3 members and Korea Cosmetics Company, Wisyaplus had caused their damages” as the reason to apply for legal action for the damages compensation at the District Court. Recently, the cosmetics company, Wisyaplus announced that “Beijing Haidian District People’s Court rejected the Beijing Kowloon Station Inc’s claims” and revealed the China Court’s arbitration decision documents.

According to the open verdict, the court had rejected all the arbitration applications from the applicant (Beijing Kowloon Station Inc.) and the applicant will bear all the costs for the arbitration (38,470 yuan = 5,635 USD). TVXQ’s 3 members has nothing to do with the cosmetics company promotion and this was ultimately confirmed by the China Court. And SM Entertainment have been using the photos of the 3 members attending the investment seminars to suspect if the 3 members had directly or indirectly carry out promotional activities.

On the other hand, the cosmetic company’s representative, President Kang Suk-won had expressed towards the accusation of SM Entertainment attributing the main cause of the TVXQ’s lawsuit with the members’ cosmetics business that “The police investigation has already shown that the reason behind the TVXQ’s lawsuit has nothing to do with the cosmetics. However, SM Entertainment once again entangled with it. Therefore, our company will propose a reputation damage lawsuit again for the third time”.

President Kang Suk-won claimed that “The reasons why TVXQ’s 3 members had filed a lawsuit towards SM Entertainment are because of the unfair contractual relationship and unjust distribution of income distribution. This fact has been ruling in the injunction application and it was confirmed. However, such behaviour seems to have become a kind of inertia for SM Entertainment in order to rescue its company reputation”.

Wisyaplus had already filed the reputation damage and impede business lawsuit towards SM Entertainment twice in August and November last year. Seoul Gangnam Police Department investigation ended in February and make the decision of without detention and transfer investigation towards SM Entertainment representative, Kim Youngmin. At that point of time, the police had already made a judgement that “The lawsuit of ending the long term exclusive contracts requested by TVXQ’s 3 members had nothing to do with the cosmetics investment”.

Tohoshinki’s Jejung, Junsu and Yuchun announced on the 14th that they have a new exclusive contract with Avex Management, and also started activities under this new unit. Because of this, in Korea, the relationship between Avex Management and Tohoshinki’s Korean management company has shown signs of deterioration.

Avex is one of the leading Management Agencies in Japan, with many popular artistes such as Namie Amuro and Koda Kumi under them. Before Tohoshinki, they had helped BoA break into the Japanese Market, and an alliance with SM Entertainment was formed. To the Korean media, the signing of Avex’s contract with the 3 members has led to speculation that Avex may want to cut off all ties with them (SM Entertainment).

SM Entertainment denies these allegations, and according to a representative, both companies still have strategic partnerships that have remained unchanged. SM Entertainment’s BoA is still managed by Avex Management in Japan, and SM Entertainment says that they working on the promotions for Avex Management’s ICONIQUE as well.

On the other hand, there were also reports saying that Avex’s attitude is “dishonest”. The contract with the 3 members for the new unit has shown a choice of utility over SM Entertainment’s trust. Korean Media also reports that this may have something to do with the fact that Avex is currently in a business slump.

For 3 members TVXQ to take a further step by forming a new unit, fans reaction are clearly divided. Some fans said, “Only five members who can make TVXQ.” showing their frustration over the recent decision, while another fan said, “We must respect their will.” The conflicts are visible on the surface even among the fans.

Ever since the official announcement by AVEX about the forming of 3 members unit consisting Jejung, Junsu, and Yuchun, many conflicting opinions have been floating in many Cassiopeia site such as DNBN.

However, for the personal fans of 3 members who are included in the new unit, they gave much expectations to the performances which will be held in Osaka and Tokyo. Many of them asked an explanation about how to buy the ticket in Japan.

It’s also been rumored that regarding the signing of current exclusive contract with their management for music industry activities, the 3 TVXQ members received around 1 billion won.

Japanese media Sport News on the 15th reported that a large scale concert to mobilize 180,000 people will be thrown in Osaka and Tokyo starting from June. The newspaper as quoting message from AVEX official said, “Already planned this year from June to August, there will be stages where only 3 members participating. All photoshoots for the advertisement of the project announcement had been proceed strictly confidential.” he also said, “The name of this new unit is not yet determined, but most likely there won’t be any TVXQ songs to be performed on stage.”

The relationship atmosphere between the 3 members and TVXQ label in Korea SM Entertainment seems to be more complicated right now. Regarding the remaining 2 members activities plan, one SM official said, “Local individual activities are still in progress while for the Japan activity plan is still undecided.”
