First, I don’t think that they or other artists in Korea ever thought that things would get easier after they debuted. Have you seen how hard their entertainers work? As trainees without schedules they were already working hard so I think they knew that as artists with schedules it would be even harder.

You’re right; it was their choice to sign with SM and now it’s their choice to try to make things better for themselves.

In this day and age where there are laws against slave labor why should they just sit back and do nothing. Just because things have been a certain way doesn’t mean it should stay a certain way. If the situation isn’t right or just or humane then it should be changed.

Just imagine all the things that changed in this world because there were people who were willing to fight for it. So, I don’t think they are “crying” about it. They are doing something about it. When you say “they should stop crying” you are basically saying they should just lie down and continue to be walked on by SM.

Yes people can and do work in unfair conditions and for unfair wages, but why should they have to? The boys have a right to voice their concerns just like you or I do if we do not agree with something. All they are doing is asking to be treated fairly and like human beings. I don’t see it as “crying”. I see it as standing up for your rights. Change can only happen when there are people brave enough to stand up to giants like SM. And in the end, others may also benefit from their brave fight.

Lee Soo Man is KNOWN to be a crook and power/money hungry. The fact that SM Ent. does so well really bothers me – because I believe everyone under his wing deserves much better. He eats up Boa’s profits as well and works her to the ground. People who want to break into the entertainment industry really need to do their research about the company they want to sign under. Just because SM is famous; doesn’t mean it’s the best.

You’re one sick 9-girls-group fan.
Go read all your replies and you’ll know why.
(Or maybe you never will. Idol passes their traits to fan in a way).

Don’t even bother comparing your job and theirs because, reality check, have you even go to Korea-Japan back and forth almost every other day?
Does your job involve 108320830480329808130482038023830 dance routines (which are obviously more than just… grueling and laborious) to be practiced every single awake hour?

A friendly reminder.
Don’t even bother clicking any pages of DBSK, because many people are actually concerned about them and reading your comments is not helping at all.

TYSM.

@ Mei and Sonia: Well said. I think that if SM only gave more flexibility AND A MORE REASONABLE contract for TVXQ, it wouldn’t be a problem. I hope this would pave the way for the other SM artists too. WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO TSZX?!

I just read briefly:
@KalexiS: that’s what they demand basically. A revised to their current contract. They do not demand money (or compensation) but they demand revised and their accounting book.

–
Does SM being in red have anything to do with DBSK income? DBSK doesn’t own the company, they don’t have a reason to pay for all company expenses

Uhhhhhhh. Both sides are running smear campaigns, who the hell knows what’s true and what’s not. Just tell me when it’s over, cause I’m done.

SM Entertainment has had disputes with the artists under their management before, and seeing how history is repeating itself just goes to show there is something wrong with the company.

I used to worship SM Ent and their idols, and that I’ve paid a close attention to the very company. And I have to say, there are many things left unsaid about it. They really know how to cover up their wrongs and negatives.

LOL it’s kinda funny how you talk like you know it all.
you don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re not in their shoes.

i’ll keep it short, i’m also as clueless as the others, so i won’t talk like i have better understanding than everyone else and end up sounding like a total snob. okay, it’s not that short.

anyway, the point is, i believe both of them deserves the blamings BUT i don’t know how the heck you considered their act as “crying” LMAO enlighten me, please…

It sucks how much SM has twisted the story. I mean, the basics of what they’re saying are right but they leave out the finer details that are important.

Well, I guess we’ll have to see how this all ends up…
