DBSK Out And 2PM Confirmed For Dream Concert Tuesday September 29, 2009 Korea

It was announced that there would be many big stars attending the 2009 Dream Concert, but it seems some won't be able to make it; specifically fan favorites DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki and 2PM.

It should be obvious as to why these two groups will not be attending. DBSK, with their pending lawsuit, said that they would have difficulty performing, and are officially missing the concert.

2PM on the other hand had been 50:50 all this while. With the recent scandal and their leader Jay Park (Jaebeom) leaving the group, fans have been mighty crazy and have shown that they are determined to boycott all 2PM events. But a JYPE representative confirmed on the 10th that all six members of 2PM will go ahead withperforming since the schedule had been decided a long time ago.

It seems that while fans really want to see DBSK at the concert to the point where many prayed intensely in public, there's little or almost none of that support fromfans of 2PM who do not want to see just 6 of them performing.

“Practice hard until you can create a single melody instead of singing two separate ones.” (YUCHUN)

――Both of you look more mature than your age. That makes you all the more attractive.
“Who? Us?? Do I look that old?” (JEJUNG)

――No, since both of you are so polite and neat, you look very appealing.
“Oh, I see. But are you sure I don’t look old?” (JEJUNG)

YUCHUN has recently gotten into a habit of rising early. JEJUNG told the reporter that he was easing stress by singing karaoke. One of the keys to their success must be their ability to manage stress and lead a healthy life.

Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu Seeking Escape Route? Friday September 25, 2009 Korea

It was reported recently that the DBSK trio of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, currently embroiled in a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, have been meeting frequently with tv drama production companies, leading many to speculate about their future plans.

According to sources, since the lawsuit was filed, not only has the DBSK trio been seen in frequent discussions with other entertainment companies, they have also been seeking out suitable properties to act as their new offices, further confirming their desire to split with SM Entertainment.

Many speculate that the DBSK trio are seeking to find an escape route through acting in tv dramas. The trio have time and again stressed that they only want to void their contract with SM but without DBSK disbanding. Even if they win the lawsuit against SM, they wouldn't be able to release an album since Yunho and Changmin did not participate in it. So dramas would be their best alternative.

Despite the being advised that they should solve their differences outside of the court, SM Entertainment and the DBSK trio have been unable to come to a conpromise with each other. The courts will be ruling on the case very soon.

Claimant side’s, the three TVXQ members, preservation of evidence application is still up and will receive document submission related to earnings from SM.”

The Seoul Central District Court prosecutor explained the reason of the rejection, “The fact which has been drawn up is about legal relationship between the artists and their agency company, and in compliance with law of civil procedure article 2 section 344, the document holder side couldn’t refuse to submit the documents that become object of document submission order assertion from the complainants.”

On August 5th, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu side submitted a preservation of evidence to the court to calculate the real income distribution of all TVXQ activities from SM Entertainment.
