[TRANS] 110131 JYJ-KARA Situation Episode By 'Sisa Magazine 2580' Accused Of Bias

ShinyPic.Com
MBC's 'Sisa Magazine 2580' released a report on the dispute between idols and their entertainment agencies but has fallen under a concentrated attack by JYJ fans. These fans of JYJ claim that the program was adjusted with a strong bias towards the entertainment agencies before it was aired.

On the 30th, 'Sisa Magazine 2580' aired an in depth report on the disputes between idols and their entertainment agencies as Kara's proclamation to end their contract with their agency has brought up the controversy once more. The episode had garnered great attention before it aired for it was known that it would deal with JYJ's situation as well, as they have been unable to appear on broadcasting channels due to their legal dispute after the disbandment of TVXQ.

However, many viewers expressed their disappointment after watching the show. Currently, complaints are flooding into the viewers' thread. Viewers are showing their anger at the show stating, "You said you would handle the situation in a fair manner, but all you did was show the viewpoint of the strong side," "If you're going to report the situation in this kind of way, what makes you any different from the way entertainment shows are run?" "So what you're trying to tell us is that it takes a lot of money to raise idol groups," "You've done nothing but show the side of entertainment agencies," and "This is a biased report."

There are netizens demanding a fair report on the matter as SM Entertainment's opinion received more air time in an interview with a SM representative while JYJ's refutation was hardly shown. JYJ are holding the stance that they are not signed on to a dual contract as C-JES, the company in charge of managing JYJ, is their agency and not their entertainment company.

Some netizens have even criticized 'Sisa Magazine 2580' for randomly promoting a rookie girl group in the middle of the episode though they are not related to the report's content whatsoever. While CEO Kim Kwang Soo was explaining that it is hard for entertainment agencies to gain profit when so much of the sales is spent on costs, the camera caught 'Five Dolls' rehearsing. 'Five Dolls' is the female unit group of 'Co-ed' that is preparing for their comeback.

Prain's Head of Department Lee Jae Eun expressed her disapproval on her personal Twitter account when she stated, "They state that they will air a fair report but the amount of airing time the strong received compared to the weak is... Sigh..."

She continued to show her disappointment of the footage that was cut as she said, "In the interview, JYJ stated, "What's most important is forming trust between artistes and their agencies. This new entertainment system will create a system of transparency that builds on a foundation of trust. We want to be treated like humans, not just objects to be sold in the market.""

Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu, and YoungWoong Jaejoong, who garnered explosive popularity in Asia as members of TVXQ, filed an exclusive contract suspension injunction against SM Entertainment in July, 2009 claiming that their contract was unjust. Afterwards, JYJ restarted their activities but have been facing troubles when it comes to appearing on broadcasting channels due to their legal dispute with SM.

[TRANS] 110131 HanBanDo States "...Kim Jaejoong, We're Still In Discussion, Nothing's Confirmed"

ShinyPic.Com
The production company of 'HanBanDo (The Korean Peninsula)' released a statement regarding the rumors of Jang Dong Gun, Ha Ji Won and Kim Jaejoong starring in the new drama.

During a phone conversation on the 31th with Sports Today, a representative of the drama stated, "We heard of the news through online articles, but we're still in discussion regarding the cast list and nothing has been confirmed yet."

This representative also added that, "These actors know that they are being discussed for the respective roles. We think reporters chose a select few of all those being discussed to report," and "We don't know what to do because these reporters wrote articles that made it sound like actors are confirmed to appear when they're not."


Jang Dong Gun's agency also stated, "There are many dramas and movies Jang Dong Gun is considering at this point and 'HanBanDo' happens to be one of them," and "Because the movie 'My Way' is scheduled to film until autumn this year, he may not appear if his schedule doesn't match that of the drama."

On the other hand, 'HanBanDo' is a drama centered around a unified Korea and is said to have investments of 100 billion Won. A broadcasting company has not been chosen yet and it is planned to air in October.

ShinyPic.Com
It was recently announced that SM singers BoA and Yesung of Super Junior will both be featuring in the OST album of the new SBS drama, “Paradise Ranch”.

“Paradise Ranch” has been a great hit ever since its pilot episode on January 24th, particularly due to the main cast members Lee Yeon Hee and TVXQ’s Changmin. However, it’s not just the drama itself that has been gaining attention – the OST production is receiving just as much interest thanks to the extensive list of idol star features, such as TVXQ, f(x), and the recently announced BoA and Yesung.

BoA’s song, titled “One Person“, illustrates a heartbreaking story of a girl who remembers all the sweet memories of her relationship after their break up, while Yesung’s track, “Waiting For You”, is about a man who is adamant on waiting until the end of the world for his lover to return to him.

[TRANS] 11030 Han Ji Min: I Want To Star Opposite A Male Idol

ShinyPic.Com
Actress Han Ji Min has expressed that she would like to star opposite an idol-born actor.

During an interview with Edaily on the 27th, which was the release of the movie "Detective K" (directed by Kim Suk Yoon), Han Ji Min said, "Recently, I watched the acting of idol members and I was surprised."

Up until now, Han Ji Min has always acted with older actors like Lee So Jin, Uhm Tae Woong and So Ji Sub in dramas as well as in this movie, with Kim Myeong Jin. Han Ji Min said, "In the past I learnt a lot about acting from actors who have an age gap with me and it was really fun, but now I want to try acting with younger actors."

This is especially so when she watched the acting of idol-born actors Taecyeon (2PM) and Yoochun (JYJ), which she thought was very well done.

Han Ji Min said, "From Cinderella's Sister and SungKyunKwan Scandal, I could see differences in their performances every time and I finally realized that there are, in a way, some similarities in singing and acting."

However, working aside, if she's looking for a lover, she prefers an older man.

Han Ji Min laughed, "Compared to someone who is of the same age, I'd prefer someone who is older."

ShinyPic.Com

GOAL:

Although it is already 2011, the three of them still have to face many difficulties doing activities in Korea, not to mention about Japan.

Because the three of them are always straightforward and they always do their best, they must have always gotten hurt by other people's words and must have gone through sleepless nights.

They are the ones who understand the most that us Japanese fans also miss them.
"Don't push yourself too hard, we Japanese fans will be waiting for you so please don't worry."
The goal of this project is to convey to them this little message and feeling.

It will take a lot of time until JYJ can work again in Japan, so why don't you come together with us, fellow fans who will not give up?


T/N: The rest of it is direction on how to participate, Q&A, etc. I won't translate that but if you have question just ask.

[News] Mnet, TVXQ Is TVXQ And SM Is SM

ShinyPic.Com
Cable music channel Mnet Media, who recently made amends with SM Entertainment, is voluntarily taking time out to promote the group ‘TVXQ’ (U-Know Yunho, Choikang Changmin).

‘Tap! TVXQ’ will air on February 2nd and 3rd and will feature footage of 48 hours in the life of TVXQ. The clips will be aired in a guerilla method with no pre-scheduled times.

Mnet stated, “No one knows how many clips there are, how long they are and when they will be aired,” and “That means that people will have to tune into MNet all day long if they don’t want to miss a single clip.” The footage will also show the rehearsal process and behind the scenes moments of the ‘M! Countdown’ episodes that aired on the 20th and 27th.

However, TVXQ did not set aside time to create this program. These clips were created by Mnet following TVXQ around with cameras.

TVXQ appeared on ‘M! Countdown’ on the 20th at the Sangam-dong CJ E&M Center, their first appearance on an Mnet program in two years. This was because SM cut all ties with Mnet after the latter’s ‘Mnet KM Music Festival’ that was held in November, 2008.

The entertainment industry sees TVXQ’s appearance on ‘M! Countdown’ as the restoration of ties between SM and Mnet. However, the two companies are still in an uncomfortable standing with each other. Many criticize that both are doing nothing but trying to benefit from the situation instead of trying to resolve it.

SM and Mnet began to clash with a problem regarding music distribution in 2008. In 2009, SM disallowed its artists from attending the ‘Mnet Asia Music Awards’ because it questioned the impartiality of the judging.
