Rough translation of part related to the trial against SM. (My French abilities are as bad as my English :-P)
“JYJ group, whose name simply derives from the initials of 3 members, was formed following the legal conflict between DBSK and their label, SMEnterteinment. In fact, in July 2009, Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu
filed charges against the label, because their contract had too much unfair conditions, verging on slavery. They had a 13-year contract with the label, had to work exceptionally hard and hours of intensive work poorly or underpaid . The 3 guys have also said they were not paid after February 2009.
As a result, in October 2009, following a trial, the exclusivity clause between the three member of DBSK and SM, has been broken, finally allowing them to manage their own activities.
DBSK activities were then suspended in Korea while they were continued in Japan, with their Japanese label, Avex.
In April 2010, Japanese DBSK activities were interrupted. Shortly after, a complaint was filed by SM against JYJ, as well as against their current label C – Jes Ent.
At the end, in 2011, all trials initiated by the SM were cancelled, except the one concerning the contract between the three boys and the label.
The third hearing of the trial was held in March 2011. The fourth was scheduled for April 2011, but it was postponed and since then, we haven’t news of this trial. “

Ciao! E’ bello sapere di non essere soli su questa terra!!
Prepara le valigie che partiamo (per la Francia… o per la Corea, scegli tu!).
I read an interview with Australian actor Simon Baker from The Mentalist recently, & he was saying his show is very popular in France, & that when the French love someone or something, they really love them! Is that the case? Cause it looks like JYJ is building a solid fan base in France, & if those fans keep growing & remain loyal, it’s another brick in the foundations ensuing JYJ’s success for years to come 😀
Mmm… Lol that’s an hard question, especially as I never really was a fan of anyone before…
Actually it would depend on the fanbase, if it’s young, like under 16, they’ll change taste often. Older than that, I’d say that we indeed tend to be really loyal. JYJ’s french fanbase tend to be pretty “old” (not as in old indeed, but if you compare it to other K-pop fandoms, most fans are above 20 and even 25 for a lot of people.
So I guess we can consider that there’s a good likelihood that fans will remain loyal?
Anyway I don’t know about the “remaining loyal” fans, but the “growing” part is something at least we may certainly count on as K-pop really starts to spread here, and I’ve witnessed a lot of people quickly becoming JYJ fans only after they start to know a bit more about the human beings.
But I sure hope french fans will also be able to play a significant role in JYJ’s growth and success^^
wow handsome boys in the world
what does the magazine say??? ~me wanna know!~
~sigh~ they look great! as always… ^^
We’re working on the translation, it will be out soon 😉
Dashing JYJ^^
One thing though,,,really detest the SM logo!!
The logo is because they talk about the lawsuit
Oh i c…thanks for explaining
I had the same reaction. It just doesn’t seem right to have that logo on the same page as JYJ, no matter what the reason.
Oh i c…thanks for explaining
uhmh ok at least in this article they talk about the reason why jyj filed a law suit against sm,,
JYJ MY LOVE! THE LGO SM BLEAHHHHHHH!!!!! 😦

Lol we’ve got the full translation on our blog (with the 3rd page that’s missing here)
Thank you Ellis ❤
I didn’t know there were so many asian-releated french magazines O.O
JYJ ❤
There weren’t… Until not that long ago for some reason we’re getting many of them all of a sudden, they all were created almost at the same time
I live in an Italian region bordering on Haute Savoie. Thinking on migrate to France, because here in Italy K-pop is almost unknown!
