KBS has released an official statement regarding their decision to bar JYJ from appearing on their broadcasts.
The statement was posted on KBS’s online production crew message board as a response to the many requests asking for the reasons why JYJ was not allowed to make an appearance.
KBS explained,
“JYJ’s lawsuit has yet to come to an end and KBS is taking note of this lawsuit from an objective standpoint… From a business perspective, allowing a celebrity who is in the midst of a legal dispute onto a broadcast can have an influence on the current situation. Therefore, it is common to refrain their appearances while waiting for the results of their legal dispute.
Though it appears that JYJ has submitted a request to nullify their exclusivity contract with their existing agency, they made their own judgment to temporarily participate in activities on a case-by-case basis. However, JYJ has signed with another agency and are currently continuing their album promotions under two contracts.
Because of these issues, KBS has decided that currently, JYJ’s broadcast appearances may bring about legal problems and is threat to the culture industry. Until JYJ comes to a settlement or agreement with their agency, we will refrain from their broadcasts as a whole. Casting and guest appearances will be made depending on the outcome.“
The post has since been removed while JYJ’s agency has countered with their own statement.

[News] 110518 JYJ’s agency deems KBS’s statement as illogical
Following the release of KBS’s statement addressing JYJ’s exclusion on their programs, JYJ’s agency were quick to fire back at the broadcast station, deeming their excuse as “illogical“.
On May 18th, CJES Entertainment rebutted, “The lawsuit about JYJ’s subordinate contract with SM Entertainment that KBS was referring to was already acknowledged by the court as lopsided and disadvantageous to JYJ, and the contract was subsequently nullified.”
“In addition, last February, the invalidity of their contract with SME was emphasized once more as the court declared another order for SME to stop indirectly impeding on JYJ’s activities. With these being said, we believe KBS’s stance does not match up with the facts.”
They continued, “When SM Entertainment lodged a lawsuit regarding the ‘dual contract’, the court rejected their argument and ordered SM to not interfere with JYJ’s activities with CJES Entertainment. Considering JYJ’s lonely fight against such a huge agency in request for a more reasonable contract, we believe it is wrong that KBS is deviating from the objective truth and making the public think that JYJ are just creating more societal problems. We strongly request for them to make corrections on their part.”
“Especially with JYJ currently participating in overseas promotional projects with various countries, as well as being appointed highly ranked ambassadors, we’re very disappointed that they are speaking of JYJ as threats to the culture industry,”concluded CJES Entertainment.

Getting in line, frying pans at the ready. JYJ a threat to the culture industry??? KBS actually managed to say that with a straight face??? **(*&&^^%#%^^&*#^&^#@@#%!^&@*(*
@Sapphie, just to update you, currently KBS has become
KEEP BULL SHITTING
LOL! KBS- Keep Bull Shitting!
You girls are too much!
If it wasn’t for their lame explanations this would have sounded kinda cool, “JYJ….is threat to the culture industry.” Their “culture industry” is fraught with abuse, backroom deals and lack of professionalism. I say JYJ should lead in destroying them. Would serve them right.
@MIA2
I wonder if KBS admitting that JYJ is a threat to culture was a Freudian slip of the tongue?!
… television is the stereotype avenue of promotions in k-pop.. JYJ however already managed to do good and bring themselves above those groups that are frequently appearing in those music shows without doing the same.. they are no longer the idols that most in th k-pop are but already proven themselves as true artists that proved themselves not only in singing and perForming but in their individual fields that they have chosen.. i don’t think this statement could shake them .. lol .. they could just easily brush off their shoulders of their issue.. after all they are worlwide stars who can fill stadiums in short notice concerts and definitely has a solid fan base that keeps on growing as others try all their might to destroy them.. =)
.. as for the KBS’ statement, as C-JES said it’s ILLOGICAL, they must at least refer first to court rulings and consider it before releasing statements that they eventually take down — lol ..
im not a cassie but im a jyj fan .. keep the faith and i pray for the success of their US concerts
“keep the faith and I pray for the success of their US concerts” — Amen.
Excellent statement !!!
b1
“as for the KBS’ statement, as C-JES said it’s ILLOGICAL, they must at least refer first to court rulings and consider it before releasing statements that they eventually take down — lol ..”
I don’t understand how these idiots at KBS can be so ill-informed! Did they do ANY background checking before they released their “statement”?? This is the lamest excuse for a big media outlet to be putting out there… What were they thinking?? Are they just reading the press release SM hands them without even looking into it first??
This is just PATHETIC.
@b1
love your statement, and it’s very true indeed. JYJ now is worldwide star not some k-pop idol like any other group who always perform on their music show. I’m also JYJ’s fan, and will always support them no matter what.
“keep the faith and i pray for the success of their US concerts” Amen for that.
NAIL IT, KBS!
finally, CJes take their stance!
Big talk from a program who aims teens and barely reach 2 digit ratings.
Ah, so the statement is from Music Bank?
“…and is threat to the culture industry.”…this is their main purpose bah..we are not fools!!
Actually I think they are right and this is why they are afraid of JYJ. They are a threat to the current idol culture, which KBS is solidly depending on. They are a threat to the whole entertainment media’s pattern and system of slavery of artists and therefore their easy profit system dependent on slavery.
They misunderstand, though. They are standing on the losing side and fighting with the losing system. It’s too bad for them. JYJ is going to change the culture whether they like it or not and they will end up on the other side with SM and a bunch of empty seats.
let’s banned KBS and SME…hahhaha….that’s better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In law perspective, while the court said like “the court rejected their argument (SM) and ordered SM to not interfere with JYJ’s activities with CJES Entertainment” it means SMEnt must not interfere JYJ activities anymore and TV broadcast can make them appear in your show…
No matter what, SM MUST OBEY THE COURT DESICION if they disobey it they can get the “punishment”
*sorry I feel sad while JYJ can appear in some national broadcast system 😦
*i’m a faculty of law’s student *no one asking :p
*just my opinion by the way
@angangwoo, very accurate opinion. Sadly, SME is being laughing barefaced at the court rulings all the time. As I asked before:
¿Isn’t out there anyone able to make SME obey the court rulings?
ah..nope, even the gov fund their SMTown concert in Paris, so yeah…
So they’re laughing at the court rulings with government’s support.
¡ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!
perhaps the issue (or loophole) here is that it’s hard to prove that SM is cockblocking their appearances. we all *know* it, but who can prove it? what we need is like an email from SM to KBS saying “dun let JYJ appear in your programmes”… SM is dumb, but i really doubt they are that dumb.
tv stations can hide behind a ‘our programming is full’ excuse, and who’s to prove otherwise?
this sucks big time.
I agree. It’s difficult to compile enough evidence for a case in which the crime is a veiled threat.
If SM Entertainment was truly “innocent” as some claim, then they could have easily dissipated the threat by releasing a statement declaring that JYJ appearances on broadcasting stations will not deter appearances of SM artists. What’s ironic in this situation is that INACTION is SM’s crime.
Oh my God, JYJ is an industry culture threat?? What century is KBS live in? What kind of culture is KBS live in? They are feel threatened over three young men??
What the heck is KBS saying? THE COURT HAS RULED THAT JYJ ARE FREE TO DO ENTERTAINMENT ACTIVITIES AND THEY ARE NOT IN A DUAL CONTRACTS BY ANY MEANS. THAT MEANS JYJ HAS ONLY ONE CONTRACT WITH CJES. THEREFORE THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO APPEAR ON ANY SHOWS FROM ANY BROADCAST.
KBS PLEASE DON’T FUCKING BULLSHITTING ME. I’M SO PISSED.
CJES IT’S GOOD THAT U STEP UP YOUR GAME TO DEMAND AN OFFICIAL APOLOGY FROM THE CRAPS THE ACCUSATION ON JYJ THAT THIS BROADCAST COMPANY IS DOING. KICK THEIR ASS.
Cjes – way to go !!! Nail them !!! Keep Bull Shitting (KBS) mind your words…
¡YES!
@Della Tanri
Watch your language sweetie. You’re too young to use languange like that. *hugs you* Although it was a really good play on words! 😛
Although it might help if I actually manage to spell the word language correctly!
@Sapphie, you’re making me look like an irresponsible mom, which I’m definitely not. Please, read the update I left you at the top comment.
¡LOL! ¡LOL! ^^_^^
@ Sapphire
Once in a while to get angry…It’s ok !!! Hahaha…
@Shuheilove
You are a great Mom !!!
erm…honestly…KBS should really not do their own judgement over JYJ’s situation because I think there’s more than one person who had requested for them-as the national broadcaster-to not be bias. I think it’s weird when people in other fields and background are supporting JYJ and then there’s KBS saying ‘they are in legal dispute so we cannot show them’ while all these times JYJ has been appointed as ambassadors of numerous international conferences/international campaign etc.
For once…I really hope people are enraged by what KBS stated and them offering a ‘better’ excuse…coz really…just openly confess that you’re being pressed by SM so that the court can rule out the open obviousness.
Well…At least KBS admits it while MBC is still in denial? lol. Tryin’ to make up all these lame excuses when the Korean court has already answered against them! It’s like KFPCAI 2.0! Lol. How lame. At least do your homework, KBS. You’re looking awfully stupid.
Thanks C-JeS for the quick rebuttal.
Imma just sit back and watch KBS get burned now.
yeah that’s my first thought.. the person who released that just seemed copy pasted the statement from KFACAI and forgot to check the facts.. it has been a year since that order has been released and we have not heard anything from that stupid group.. I demand public apologies from those dumb people..
Yea…It’s like another copy. No fact checks. Ugh.
But I forgot to mention, they’re argument is not only illogical on the ‘double contract’ part but also the ‘ongoing lawsuit’ part. Lol…what about Yoo Jae-Seok? Last time I checked, he was suing his management for not paying him and he’s not boycotted by KBS.
What idiots. KBS is ran by idiots.
These guys have selective amnesia. It was okay to let YC appear in SKK then but it’s not okay now? They must have forgotten about the lawsuit while they were cashing in on SKK O.o
hmmm.. the boys dun have trouble with their individual activities but i think that’s cos those are outside the music industry – outside SM’s profit margin and influence. but i agree that it’s really REALLY disgusting when these tv stations want to have their cake and eat it. they’re as bad as SM!
I already commented on this matter. The only thing I want to say is I’m glad about C-Jes behavior towards all these lies. They’re striking back with the truth and with enough evidences, confirmed by the court and by the S. Korean laws.
The most trustful way to clarify this mess.
Yap! Glad they’re fast to react! Mustn’t let Keep Bull Shitting Keep BullShiting !!
¡That’s right, baby!
i kind of like it how c-jes really steps up for JYJ.
kbs is talking nonsense. again.
apparently the “threat of culture industry” was chosen as the ambassador for the Jeju island in the 7 wonders voting #BoycottKBS
thank u C-JES i just cant help trusting u more & more every time
something stupid like this happenes
What have JYJ ever done wrong? Is asking for freedom a sin? Why is everyone treating JYJ so unfairly as if they’re criminals? We just want JYJ to be treated fairly in their own country!
my god, what a threat they could pose so rejoice that you have such talented guys who themselves compose songs by themselves and implement them for the whole world
and i find comments on AKP saying it is not KBS or SM’s fault it’s the culture .. it’s just how the way it is.. oooohhhh it trigger my boiling point… now blame society.. seriously!
Well people need to stop living in the ‘status quo’ of the culture.
Just because something has been done repeatedly don’t make it proficient
and ‘correct’ for all time. Sometimes this type of culture works in other times it doesn’t. This is a moment where IT DOES NOT, because people are waking up to news ways of doing business so they need to move on to a new social construct.
I agree, seriously? Okay blame society and? You just going to sit back and let it be?
I so agree with your comment.. if people will just allow the “norms” to be as it is even if takes the wrong side , then why do we even have to study.. parents keep telling their children to study and learn.. and when the generation tends to become smarter than the previous, it’s inevitable that there are rules that will not work or deemed acceptable to our generation.. it does not mean that the system this entrainment and broadcasting companies have established are error free .. we could not just sit down and be quiet and be all coward and accept things just because you wake up one morning and those were there.. Change is the only thing that is constant!
Exactly!
🙂
@jenknight18
It’s greedy, corrupt companies like KBS & sm who have made this Korea’s entertainment “culture”.
well said c-jes! thanks for quickly replying to such nonsense.
unfortunately, i can see why these companies might be reluctant to indirectly take on sm ent. but why can’t they see that all of them working together and supporting correct business practices would result in a better environment for all of them. they are indeed succumbing to the pressure of a huge bully by blocking not only jyj but anyone who is in a similar situation. the worst thing for me is when the company that is airing a drama blocks the actors from being on their own shows. messed up much? i do see their first point though. they do want to stay in business and see it as a gamble to allow them on their station, however, all the good these guys are doing and their upright, honest actions show what kind of people they really are and how much of an asset they are to their own country who is afraid to support them. the whole thing just makes me crazy. i am very proud of jyj and what they have done and will continue to do. they are our davids’ in the goliath world right now! and yeah, we are there for you guys! see you in san jose!!!
guys hold on, we are always with you
I personally think KBS’s stance on the situation is funny. How can you fix your mouth to say well we wont promote the little one (JYJ) cause they’re in a lawsuit, but we’ll promote the big one (SME).
Their excuse wasn’t even highly thought out..if you had even been following the lawsuit you’d know that that statement they posted not only wouldn’t be believed but it would cause problems def because of the last line. Maybe they should have just stuck to the Denial ploy like MBC…now they have people boycotting them.
LOL I just said this high five!
Boycott them! Stop Madame Kang-ing JYJ!
KBS MBC all of the korean channels that refusing to budge and giving these horrible excuses are on my bad list. Honestly I don’t really want JYJ on these channels cause it’ll just boast their ratings and everything they did to jyj will just be swept under the rug and theyll continue to do it to other people who find themselves in JYJ’s position.
Exactly. smh wewwww! Entertainment industry is fickle.
KBS emm that honestly isn’t a great enough reason to bar JYJ. Well if you want to bar JYJ from broadcasts why not bar SM artist too, they’re not in the battle but their COMPANY is so isn’t it the same thing? Hmm? What you can do to one you can
definitely do to the other because this issue is not one sided, it involves both sides.
I pity South Korea court. Their mega broadcast companies don’t even trust and aide to their law. Or they can’t even understand their native language. Can the court do something about it since they have officially contradict the court ruling?
Agree with CJES’s rebuttal statement.
About the KBS blocking……
I feel that everything connected to TV in SKorea will block JYJ MORE strongly compared to before because now the stupid government has SME’s back.
I mean the stupid SKorean government is even using taxpayer’s money to fund SMTown’s stupid concert in Paris which isn’t helping the Hallyu wave at all since the stupid company is taking no risks.
This is why KBS has the ‘guts’ to post a message like that on their website. And this is why MBC won’t promote their OWN drama.
YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF NEWS ARTICLE NEEDS TO COME OUT? Not one where the TV stations are blocking JYJ……but one where the it is clearly posted that THE SOUTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT USES TAX PAYERS MONEY to fund concerts and help mega-entertainment companies in their small bids and in their large tyranny!
Or would that hurt South Korean pride too much to create an article of such nature where they blame the root of the problem……that is there own GOVERNMENT!
sorry, it’s my first time reading about this, so what was the reaction of the people knowing their taxes are going somewhere, uhm, idk, irrelevant?
i feel you pheonxia, and this may not be fair for me to say (since i dun have all the facts), but doesn’t the south korean govt have a record of overlooking mistakes for economic reasons? i’m thinking of the case where the samsung guy rec’d a presidential pardon for his criminal acts (tax evasion, etc). i heard that it was because samsung as an enterprise is regarded as a pillar of the country’s economy – too big to fail.
anyway, the govt can very easily say that taxpayers’ money was used to fund the concert to promote hallyu. and since so many popular kpop artists are signed with SM, it was a natural – and the most effective – choice.
this is a screwed up world, huh.
I can’t believe they used a reason that has already been refuted by the court. That’s just stupid. Is it too much to ask that KBS/Music Bank be indirectly held in contempt for this?
And I find it hilarious. On one side SME is using BS reasons to keep them off but the stations are not smart enough to notice that SME’s threats are empty.
When JYJ went on SBS Good morning was SBS blocked by SME?……..NO!
When JYJ went on the show where they are supposed to walk with fans was that show or station blocked? NO…..instead SME sent Homin to prove “DBSK” power compared to ‘JYJ’ power.
When Jaejoong was a model of ElleTV did SME block ElleTV? NO……! On the same magazine was SNSD.
Conclusion: SME’s threats are empty!
And I hope it dies soon!
The one positive thing that may come out of this is a quicker court decision…..I hope.
The court case kind of vanished……………….somewhere…………
Yes, it is postponed again, right?
It should come to the end asap and let JYJ be free!
It didn’t vanish, the courts are making the decision on the case now. No more hearings.
?wasn’t another hearing supposed to happen with SM witnesses??Last SM still didn’t brought to court all the docs that the judge requested…did they sent it in already?
i wonder how our boys are coping with all this news during their busy schedules.
they will sure feel troubled with all this. 😦
but don’t worry boys, we are always behind you and will always support you by all means.
kite bakor je KBS~~bako~~bakor~~~
c-jes fighting!!!
LOL jangan lupa bakor MBC sama
yeah bakor je,bakor je semue…
*riding in a white horse checking the worry faces of the army*
Jaegolas: Dont worry JYJ fans were almost at the end of the tunnel.. no one lets go till we win this fight ..! Twin towers will go down!
@jenknight18, ¡Way to go, Lady Eowyn, Rohan’s jenknight-girl!
¡To battle! ¡Lets make this a red dawn!
*hugs Shuhei..* am missing the twins too..
@jenknight18, I’m missing them too. They seem to be a little distant lately. I feel sorry about that.
I’m alongside Mommy-hen, practising my knife throwing skills while she wows me with her archery practise! We’re ready for the battle. Sammie, what’s your weapon of choice?
what wrong with Korea entertainment?????
SM is a company or a government ????
Is Korea entertainment just like that, can’t do any thing just be SM “slave”?
Why the world is moving in front but they just going to stop there? maybe revolution is hard but why not just get a try and the result won’t be bad.
Besides, JYJ isn’t doing any harm to their country and why always used the word “JYJ appearances may bring about legal problems and is threat to the Culture Industry” !!!!
if so why choose JYJ in “JEJU Island voting program” , and other country event? Korea culture is differences from country? so so confuse !!!
That’s funny that they blame JYJ for threatening culture industry well if the contracts were FAIR in the FIRST PLACE which was brought on by the corrupt businesses and mindsets, then JYJ wouldn’t have a reason to even cause an uproar. It’s their OWN doing, not JYJ’s fault at all.
They kill me with this like JYJ are just suppose to stay silent, this isn’t the past where you do ill things to people and they not stand up for themselves, this new era is not on that type of mind frame anymore. They need to get hip to recent times!
count on me….
korea wake up!!!!!
JYJ hwaiting!!!!!!!!!!!
Correct!
I fully agree with you!!
can i email these assholes even though i dont know any korean?? i want to give them a piece of my mind jeez i never broadcasting stations were this simple minded, i hope JYJ fans in korea are taking action because like c-jes said this is illogical. they can shove their statement up their ___bleep_!!!!! if thee guys are REALLY going to corrupt the industry THEN WHY THE HELL WERE THEY APPONITED AS EMBASSADORS!!!!!
im fuming mad D:<
why email? You can give them a piece pf mind via twitter @kbsmusicbank @mylovekbs @kbsworldtv..
Never in my 30+ breathing on this earth I come to such STUPID AND LAME EXCUSES by a broadcasting company boycotting an international artists from their own country, who has done a remarkable job in promoting their country and it’s wonderful cultures and people to the world. KBS ceo must be the most IDIOT person in korean right now and this stunt will definitely kill him & his company reputation! He will be the most hated man in South Korean right now, making him at the same line with LSM!!
If KBS thinks that this ‘supportive’ statement towards SME is to tarnish JYJ’s reputation internationally which is just in time for their N. America concerts – well, think again KBS…it will never succeed. International fans are more intelligent and well-informed of what happened in your homeland and it’s really ashamed people like you don’t have enough balls to fight for justice for once in your broadcast life!! Even with proof & court decision clearly sided with JYJ and the history of SME which I believed you know long before JYJ debuted!!
KBS, we, I-fans will continue to fight any unfairness towards JYJ and counter-attack all negative statements at all angle. Yeah, all I can say to you KBS – nice try guys..Now, just go FUCK-OFF somewhere!!!
*please excuse my language, just need to let it all out*
The court should impose sanctions on tv stations that refrain JYJ from broadcasting, and then using stupidity as an execuse for it.. KBS is taking the courts rulings and throwing it threw the wall..
shame 😦
What crap is this? Now KBS and MBS Ent is saying the same thing? That stupid MBS is saying stupid excuses and KBS is joining in? They simply ignored the court’s judgement and make their own’s rule? Is the court of SK is so weak that they allowed people make them a laughing stock by ignoring their orders? Dont they have any powers to punish these people who blatantly ignoring their judgement? I am so confused..
Does this ent co. think that they can bury JYJ by refusing their appearance? Gosh… for the past 2 years, didnt that stupid SM+all their cronies did everything and yet JYJ become a bigger name. Keep doing it and the support for JYJ will become more solidify and we will win in the end
JYJ + JYJ FANS FIGHTING
(I’ll burnt my frying-fan so that it will become very hot when i strike those stupid BULLIERS)
😦 I am so mad that I typed in MBC wrongly
I’ve already had a 3-hour long rant on akp: laughing at how ridiculous KBS’ statement sound, and fight with stupid trolls at the same time……can u believe it, there are ppl who said “Stop complaining jyj coz you’re the one who started this!” and even more funny comment “why did cjes talk back. Geez, JYJ should just shut up and focus on their career instead!”
O.O
My jaw dropped literally reading those comments !!!!!!!! can’t understand who in their right mind would say such things !!!!!!
Go Cjes !!!!! Go get them !!!!!!!! oh, and Run KBS !!! Run !!! JYJ army are going to eat you up !!!
they are immature children
“why did cjes talk back. Geez, JYJ should just shut up and focus on their career instead!”
That is what they are doing numb-nuts! Argh! You just reminded me why I hate ALL-Kpop! The morons who go there. “They started it?” What exactly did they start with MBC or KBS? How can their puny brains not realize that they are no longer talking about SM. You think they would wonder why KBS is getting involved with something that has nothing to do with them and that they also conveniently forget their “indignation” with JYJ when they are using them (Yoochun) for their dramas?
I wanna choke all those idiots!!! They can’t take the time to inform themselves but they still wanna talk.
I WANNA QUOTE EMINEM!!! THAT IS HOW PISSED OFF I AM!
~Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got somethin to say
But nothin comes out when they move their lips; just a bunch of gibberish and m*f*s act like they forgot about JYJ!!!!!
that’s why i stop going to all k pop & dbsk 5 thread,full of haters.
i don’t get it…
this is the same KBS that has SKKS as one of it’s successful dramas right?
why now? what sense does that make you no-backbone tv broadcasting company? whipped little SM pet dog…
when will all this business with the lawsuit end? why doesnt the court force sm to hurry up and deliver?! sm is lagging is obviously affecting jyj’s activites so why does jyj get the short end of the stick while sm weep the benefits of hiding their secrets?
this is why korean music industry will not surpass japan or american; its being held back by all this political power play in music, where it doesnt.BELONG
“why does jyj get the short end of the stick while sm weep the benefits of hiding their secrets?”
That is not a benefit. Their dirty acts will keep piling up and explode on the public one day. We’ll see who will be saving them then.
These stations seriously need someone throw some shi* to their mouth so all of them could shut up and not mention to some nonsense/useless reasions that are made by their own brainless heads anymore!!! Because they’re abnormal now so it’ll be more logical if they eat sth unordinary. I bet sh**’ll clear their heads and make them operate like normal people T__T.
KBS news on Feb.18.
From a business perspective, allowing a celebrity who is in the midst of a legal dispute onto a broadcast can have an influence on the current situation. Therefore, it is common to refrain their appearances while waiting for the results of their legal dispute.
= ya rite. when u sold SKKS drama to other country and earn lots of money fm it, wat did u say?
and now u are sayin JYJ is a threat to the culture industry?
so u mean a big com tat treats its artiste like slave is a GOOD culture to the country? LOL
Yeah, JYJ is a threat to the culture industry alright… the industry run by f*ckwits (sorry for the word).
If SM is capable to create and train people for entertaiment, WHY THEY DON’T USE THAT SAME POWER FOR CREATE OTHER EXCUSES AND GIVE THEM TO THESE CHANNELS THAT ARE GIVING THOSE RIDICULOUS STATEMENTS?????!!!!!!! ¬¬
I think that’s what’s most annoying — they can’t even be bothered to come up with something new and original that won’t be contradicted by actual facts at every point. What’s more annoying than being a slimy toady? Being a DUMBASS slimy toady.
it means an end to my watching happy together,let’s go dream team and a chance of seeing something “korean”…it’s the only korean channel here.but if that’s mean that i m going to support a part of an enemy,nooooo ,tonite is my last nite watching kbs.
i really wonder what happens to korean govt and its’ courts? ..the systems seem funny n weird enuf to me.can u imagine if u go there for a vacation and maybe u got urself in some kind of prob and find urself in that funny court…sounds like a court in ALice in Wonderland.anything can happen over there…even the most illogical things.
I don’t think it’s that bad, but it is very inexperienced. Korea doesn’t have a long history of democracy or a court system (ideally) separate from the powers of gov’t and finance. In fact I think it’s only really been in place for about 30 years.
This is a big thing though — JYJ’s generation is the first that has had both these systems in place throughout their lives. They will expect more from them than previous generations. They will demand that the courts do what they claim to do. That is a big step in social change — the coming of age of the generation that doesn’t know anything different.
seriously, KBS, this is lame-a** shit. as a PR person myself, i totally had facepalm moment reading the statement. you’re better off not saying anything, KBS, than being blatantly wrong. it took CJes what, ten minutes to draft their response and make you look like the dumba** you are. why give people ammo to shoot you in the head? seriously, hire a new PR team. *shakes head*
“it took CJes what, ten minutes to draft their response and make you look like the dumba** you are.”
LOL! I bet they had a 19 year old intern draft that up- That is how stupid and illogical KBS’ statement is.
Hell, even a fangirl could have written that. 😉
LOL!
And some have. 🙂
@butterfliesarefree
So now, KBS is saying “oops, that was a statement from February that mistakenly got posted yesterday…..er….uh…. yeah, yeah, that’s it!” (OK, they didn’t say that last part.) How LAME are these guys?? Is this a real television network?? Really?? **rolls eyes**
And on a personal note, I hope the entirety of JYJ’s screaming hordes of fans comes down on them like Gandalf and the Roherim in LOTR coming to rescue Helms Deep from the Orcs.
🙂
Have a nice day, KBS.
My sistah Lilibaiyu, in another post they even have the audacity to claim it was a ‘server error’. I’m sitll trying to figure out what genius came up with that one. That’s right, blame the damn computer system! I worked in IT for 14.5 years. Believe me they are still not there with AI, even if the computer Watson won on Jeopardy! For a country as wired as SKorea is, there are some rather – slow – folks out there.
@closet said it best – it’s better to keep your mouth shut than say something stupid. I just want to know, when are they planning on coming in out of the rain? The downpour has to be tremendous.
Isn’t it amazing, 3 young men with no desire other than to create music, are making old grown men look like the Keystone Kops! I’m so loving this!
@butterfliesarefree
“Isn’t it amazing, 3 young men with no desire other than to create music, are making old grown men look like the Keystone Kops! I’m so loving this!”
YEP! Exactly right. These three young men, who are merely going about their business, not bashing anyone, NEVER complaining, just working hard, being endlessly creative and generous… these three are making these entrenched old farts look like, well, like the idiots they are.
I have found that in the main page of SOOMPI they only put KBS statement and not CJES as well. And if people that does not know about the current situation of JYJ reads this, it could give them a bad impression of JYJ and misinform them. I hope that they put more articles in favor of JYJ not of this type….
and I thought I’d find something new and worthy in their statement, yet it turns out to be the same old bullshit. Why bother posting up that statement, KBS? Are you hungry for some public rage? You know what, if you’re not smart enough, keep it to yourself. Don’t let people yell how stupid you’re straight to your face! Or maybe your skin is too thick and you’re too good of a pet of SME that you don’t mind anymore? “A threat to the culture industry”, oh man, I got so pissed whenever I read this phrase! Dudes at KBS, are you blind? Haven’t you seen what JYJ have achieved so far? A world tour to promote the freaking Hallyu wave, appointed to be honor ambassadors of various prestigious organizations, musicals, drama, directing a gala that’s gonna bring in experts in the industry and other world famous athletes. You’re the one who contributes in harming your culture with your stupid move, not JYJ. It’s interesting to see how a big company gangs up with all broadcasting companies to block JYJ, yet the 3 brave men are still doing just fine and even manages to make their name(s) bigger.
I’m sorry. I truly DON’T GET it. Why isn’t the court ruling/verdict being enforced in KOREA? You’re making your own court system look bad if no one pays a darn attention to them!!! This is insane. Its as if these companies are brushing off a LEGAL, LEGITIMATE court verdict and everyones turning a BLIND EYE.
Seriously. I wish JYJ had like a SUPREME COURT up in their bizz or something. Though it would still take a long time, AT LEAST the COURT RULING would surely be taken into account and the people would be compelled to stand by it. PSH.
Actually, there is nothing to enforce. There is no proof that SME did anything to block JYJ’s appearance, KBS is staying it is all their own decision. This is really KBS showing their (dumb)ass, it doesn’t have anything to do with the courts. Unfortunately, being stupid is not illegal.

“Unfortunately, being stupid is not illegal.”
Just as well. Prison’s are already over-crowded as it it.

“There is no proof that SME did anything to block JYJ’s appearance, KBS is staying it is all their own decision. ”
Really?? You don’t think KBS implied that they were colluding with SM to block the member’s appearances on their shows? I’m not so sure. Many entertainment entities **have** welcomed the various members to be in their various projects in Korea. Nothing untoward has happened to them. There’s been no public outcry, OR and this is important, any peep out of SM to the effect that said entertainment entities were actually violating any law by hiring the guys during this time. Because, in fact, the ones who are violating the court’s order are KBS and just behind them, SM.
@Lilibaiyu

Of course I do! The wording is copy/pasted from that ridiculous letter. “Implied” doesn’t hold up in court, though. And that’s what the original comment was complaining about, the lack of action by the courts.
the ones who are violating the court’s order are KBS
No, they aren’t. KBS doesn’t have an injunction against them. They are free to put whomever they like on their shows. Or not. All KBS is guilty of is coming up with completely refutable excuses to their audience who are asking them very pointed question. If they’d just said, “We don’t wanna,” there would have been no rebuttal.
@Eliza
If they’d said “We don’t wanna” my response would have been to change their nappies & put their dummies back in to their mouths – or maybe shoving said dummies up another orifice.
@Eliza
” If they’d just said, “We don’t wanna,” there would have been no rebuttal.”
Damn, I was having a hard time focusing on your post because i was so envious of your usage of the italics! How the heck do you do that?? Tell me, tell me, please!!
Anyway, I knew after I wrote the “implying” thing that you weren’t gonna buy it for a second. lol (sometimes you just have to take the impossible shot, you know?) But I would STILL like to get all of this before a judge of the court in Seoul tasked with untangling this rat’s nest. Sure, it’s circumstantial as hell, but put together with all the other dubious behind the scenes manipulations that just really SEEM a whole lot like SM’s dirty tricks as usual, I’m just wondering if the court might be able to see a true picture of evil-doing emerging from all of this.
Then again, that could just be me being an optimist.
🙂
@Sapphie Considering what the original statement was made of, a diaper changes is probably a good idea.
But really, when it comes right down to it, KBS is saying, “We’re not putting JYJ on our shows because we don’t want them there.” There is no good reason. Unless they actually state what the real reason is, which will never happen.
@Lilibaiyu
🙂 Bracket everything you want in italics with , removing the underscores.
I would LOVE to see JYJ bring a civil suit against all of the entertainment divisions of the broadcasters. And the music distributors. And anyone else who has been hindering their business. I don’t know if they’d win, but I don’t think it would be tossed out as being without basis, and it would make many, many people very, very uncomfortable.
@Lilibaiyu
I don’t know why the tags didn’t show up!! 😦 I’ll try a different approach.
If you make the [ brackets, <brackets, then it will look like this:
[i]This will be in italics[/i]

LOL! Not cool.
From Junsus Twitter: After waking up in the morning there were articles about various things surfacing here and there..!! Let’s be a little stronger^^ you understand what I am saying right!? Don’t even be upset.. Someday they will acknowledge us and believe in us^^ Until then if we don’t let go of our connection with each other, then just by that we will be happy~ Thank you always! credit , @christabel88
So we all should be calming down even if it’s hard. I don’t like this KBS statement either but we should follow Junsus words. As long as we are there for each other we all can overcome such things.
Besides that: C-Jes, I really love you for your words!!!
“From a business perspective, allowing a celebrity who is in the midst of a legal dispute onto a broadcast can have an influence on the current situation. Therefore, it is common to refrain their appearances while waiting for the results of their legal dispute.”..
..errr,excuse me KBS,but do you know that SME is also having (several) legal disputes and SME is agency of a lot of idols appearing in your ent.programs,so they should be also “refrain their appearances while waiting for the results of their-agency-legal dispute/s”,or it will be bad “from a business perspective, allowing a-agency- who is in the midst of a legal dispute-send their idols- onto a broadcast-that-can have an influence on the current situation”..
..also..”Because of these issues, KBS has decided that currently, JYJ’s/-SMS’s idols- broadcast appearances may bring about legal problems and is threat to the culture industry. Until SMS comes to a settlement or agreement with JYJ, we will refrain from-their idols-broadcasts as a whole. Casting and guest appearances will be made depending on the outcome-“this must be an issue,if person/group/organization who has legal disputes could not appear on KBS….HYPOCRITES!!..
“is threat to the culture industry.” are you SERIOUS, my god JYJ is the most popular idol, in Asia, Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, are the most popular idols and KBS said “is threat to the culture industry”? really very disapointed KBS very disapointed
KBS even used Yoochun for their drama, and now a “is threat to the culture industry” my god

kbs on crack or what? imma have to get my frying pan and knock some sense into their puny brains.
KBS made so many consumers & music lovers disappointed , they are doing unfair broadcast in music industry , they ignored the court’s judgement and make some unreasonable excuse to misleading some people who were not know or not understand the actual situation of JYJ’s Lawsuit …… CJES Entertainment take the quick action & stand out to voice out for JYJ — ” we believe it is wrong that KBS is deviating from the objective truth and making the public think that JYJ are just creating more societal problems. We strongly request for them to make corrections on their part.”
CJES done the well speech in the good timing …. It can at least to make everything clear immediately and hope people can understand the true side & the fact of JYJ !!!!
Keep our supporting to JYJ , don’t let them to face the problems lonely !!!!!!!!! Love JYJ & CJES so much & more …… V@_^V
I’m glad C-jes cleared things out before antis/fake fans use this to attack JYJ. But there are so many loopholes in KBS’s argument, I really wonder if they fired the person who wrote it. If they even glanced at any of the news regarding the lawsuit, they would know that their statement was full of lies and contradictions; and to delete it afterwards…such cowards.
Half of their points were already proven wrong by the court and if they stand by their argument then why would they allow SM’s artists to be on their shows; I mean they don’t allow JYJ because they are still in the “midst of a legal dispute” so shouldn’t SM not be allowed either? Obviously they are just kissing SM’s ***.
What happened to their “concern” of duel-contracts when they let YC film SKKS? What happen to it when they let JYJ sing on their award show? HUH!?
KBS only wants to use JYJ’s popularity for their own gain and the second it isn’t beneficial to support JYJ, they stab them in the back!
I can’t decide who is worst, KBS, MBC, or QTv…really the Korean entertainment industry makes me sick.
Guys… calm down…. 🙂
JYJ IS a threat for Korean’s cultural industry….
Think…. If they let JYJ get on the music show or entertainment show, then those idols would look like a bunch 5 year old children trying to learn to sing and dance…. Nobody wants that right?!

“*please note the huge amount of sarcasm I put in the comment above*”
Yes, noted. Now we must all rally around you to protect you from the stern, disapproving posts of the Hearts & Flowers set.
As somebody in some movie once said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me.”

Olympia Dukakis as Clairee in “Steel Magnolias”. She’s one of those women I want to be when I grow-up. 😀

“The hearts & flowers set.”
LMAO!!!
if KBS was afraid of JYJ’s problems, why did KBS use yuchun playing in SKKS ?
was it only to get popularity from JYJ’s fans so KBS could sell SKKS to Japan ?
if it was true, KBS is a truthly suck !
I never imagined that South Korea doesn’t exist even a man worthy of the name, correct and courageous.
Just a bunch of eunuchs, castrated by the money of some big company …
Sad.
They must really be proud of themselves, always ready to lick the ass of the powerful ones (including those on the brink of bankruptcy …!) and ready to hide around the corner those who work with courage, talent and sweat.
There will come a day when JYJ will enjoy their revenge and they will remember where they received support and those that have only frustrated them…

“There will come a day when JYJ will enjoy their revenge and they will remember where they received support and those that have only frustrated them…”
Yep. That day is coming, my friend. Count on it. And it will be sweet.
