[TRANS] 110221 SM Vs Mnet, The Conflict Is Resolved... Mnet Begins Supply Of SM's Music On The 21st

The conflict between SM Entertainment and Mnet Media has been resolved.

On the 21st, SM revealed that, "'Mnet.com' will resume supplying SM artistes' music. Mnet Media, in charge of 'Mnet.com', has made a continuous and sincere effort to restore SM's faith in them after wrongly supplying SM's music without prior approval by SM by sending an official apology to SM and promising to ensure that such a mishap will not occur again. Therefore, an agreement has been made by both sides."

SM continued to add that, "SM has decided to allow Mnet.com rights to supply SM's music once more, and SM is planning to discuss various matters related to the music business with Mnet Media in the future."

SM accused Mnet Media of using SM's contents without consent in the early months of 2009. They then ceased to supply the agency's music to Mnet and refused to have the agency's artistes, such as TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation and SHINee, appear on Mnet's programs.

But TVXQ's appearance on Mnet's 'M! Countdown' last month on the 20th, the first apperance by a SM artiste on an Mnet program in two years, proved that the conflict between the two companies was subsiding.

Thanks to SM and Mnet Media's agreement, people will be able to hear SM artistes' music on Mnet once more from the 21st.
