**’the Twenties Cassiopeias for TVXQ’ is very famous fancafe in Korea. This fancafe existed since tvxq debut, never waver once. In the past, 5 members left the mentions for fans. So many Cassiopeia wanted to join TCT.**
**And DNBN, Poplez, Yuaerubi, DC, etc.. Many fansites are reaching similar decisions as I’ve told before..**
**I don’t want to tell this. So I didn’t answer the questions about the situation in Korea for several days. But I think international fans have to know the situation in Korea and they have the right to know. There is a proverb in Korea. “Palms never hide the sky.”**
**Some of you will attack me again. But it is the reality. Some of you also think Korean fans are arrogant. But if many Korean fans boycott TVXQ as duo, they never work in even overseas. Because they don’t make profits, SM will never support them. If so, some of you will think they’ll work in overseas. But it’ll be impossible. SM is not charity. SM is the company to seek making profits. For instance, CSJH… they were popular in overseas but they weren’t in Korea. Have you ever heard about CSJH’s new album?**
**I don’t want to impose to stand one side. But The way things look, the possiblity of reunion is remote. To cover the truth is not the best way. Sometimes we need a cool-headed assessment of the situation. I want to tell you this.**
This is the official position of ‘the Twenties Cassiopeias for TVXQ’ about TVXQ as a duo.
Hello. This is the sysop of ‘the Twenties Cassiopeias for TVXQ'(TCT). After passing the 2010 that was harder we expected but felt fresh, it was to come the New Year. I wish all of you a Happy New Year.
And as a sysop, I’m very sorry to announce the notice like today, to many our members with TCT for 7 years.
If it’s possible to be with all of you, it may be better. Because TCT that held barely under the big justification of ‘5 each member are the TVXQ’ lost even the justification, I became to announce the official notice.
In fact, through last official notice, we appeared the position of our managers and you’ll already predict the major opinion. So it’s not surprised and not brandnew, predeterminate thing.
Junsu also will appear on YTN news as a live guest in January 12 at 2pm (via, c-jes site)^^

Their first album The Beginning had pre-sale up to 520,000, receiving lots of attention in Korea and abroad, such high achievements gave the collapsing domestic markets a strong boast. Including the Asia tours from the past few months, all of the tickets were sold out. Even though JYJ’s fans are less than number of original TVXQ fans, but original fans still consistently supported them when they started their activities, which is very significant to the group. Moreover, they also gained fame. Their new album successfully ranked 5th for Billboard best album of the year, they were also on the home page of the Billboard website, and JYJ with such impressive results when they didn’t do any TV promotions is very inspiring.
JYJ who have been through a lot during the year of 2010 have different thoughts than us, even though they kept most of their original fans creating huge achievements, but because they can’t participate in regular activities, how are they anticipating 2011?
“They actually have numerous activities, but because they can’t appear on TV or have major promotions caused a lot of big misunderstandings with the public. But we believe we are living our live to the fullest, we have our solo activities, and the 3 of us have still held SHOWCASE in Asia and America, but we do feel somewhat regretful for not being able to appear on TV.” When reporter asked them about getting such achievements but did not have corresponding news coverage, members answered truthfully: “Actually we were on Billboard home page, and were 5th for the best album in this year, also we received affirmation from American top producers, so regarding not receiving more coverage, as to our own achievements we have some regrets. Even though the year 2010 was like this but it still let everyone remember it as JYJ’s successful year. Yoochun acting in the drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal caused a lot of talks, Junsu with the musical “Tears of Heaven” has a lot of value, Jaejoong also working hard towards his personal preferences. “Hope 2011 all the dreams and wishes will come true, our goal is to promote successfully in America as JYJ, and starting in March will be the exciting conclusion to the worldwide tour, also hope to receive everyone’s love with our Music Essay to be released this month.”
Boy band TVXQ’s 5 members are walking separate paths, JYJ (Junsu, Yoochun, Jaejoong) took the lead returning to the music world, TVXQ’s Changmin and Yunho will comeback in the next few days. Even though there’s a lot of regret, but even if it’s 3 people group or 2 people group, they have the same heart. It is true for JYJ as well, even though they have legal conflicts with their previous management SM Entertainment, but we believe they have matured a lot through out these experiences. Fans have also split, they are more like two separate groups, but this is not a good thing. The strong presence of the 5 member TVXQ in the Asian Music world and markets could not be ignored, with careful analysis, these results are impossible to be achieved by anyone else. Therefore we can’t look at their situation with conflicting views, we need to start accepting them.
“We tried to contact them (Yunho and Changmin), but in general we couldn’t reach them, because everyone has their own reasons, we were together for more than just a year or two. We have no misunderstandings with the two of them, even though we are apart now but we still believe they can understand our hearts. ” “Regarding the TVXQ duo group comeback information, we have been interviewed about this many times. Even though we sincerely wish they will succeed and hope they perform even better, but we are very reluctant to let go of the name TVXQ, because we are TVXQ as well.” Junsu, Jaejoong, and Yoochun leaving their previous management SM Entertainment wasn’t an easy thing, “When we left SM we have already prepared mentally, that’s why we were able to tolerate until now. Even though it’s very tiring, but we are confident that there will be a satisfactory resolution, always look on the brighter side.”
KBS main news yesterday addressed JYJ overcome/survive SM’s slave contract (rate 21%).
Seems alot korean people watched JYJ and for the people who didn’t know them, this will provide great coverage to JYJ.
The popularity of JYJ, the group formed by members of Dong Bang Shin Ki who left is soaring. In addition, since this success came about after the controversy surrounding their slave contracts, the public response is hotter still. Here is the report by reporter Cho Il Soo.
Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, who exited Dong Bang Shin Ki, have gone on stage on national TV for the first time as JYJ. In addition, 1 and a half years after exposing their slave contracts. Their first concert, held November last year, attracted 35,000 fans and they are planning a world tour covering 10 countries that will start in March of this year. Yoochun, who has acted in a drama received the Best Rookie Award at the Drama Awards and Junsu will stand again on the musical stage. These men are garnering all the more attention from the public because this success follows their fight against their 10-year exclusive ‘slave contracts’.
Jaejoong (JYJ): It is our wish that all artists can be active in a favourable environment and system…
Although their activities in Japan and abroad as well as broadcast appearances have been restricted due to the consequences of their lawsuit [against their agency, SM], they are currently still able to remain relevant without an entertainment agency (the kind like SM, YG, etc) or exclusive contract. Experts in the industry echo JYJ’s postion that the unfair relations between the singer and his/her agency needs to be remedied.
Seong Woo Jin (Popular music critic): I think that there must be changes in the negotiation of income distribution and the contract length. There is a need to examine once again the problems in the industry regarding contracts…
It is the current reality that the power and influence of big entertainment companies is growing. While JYJ have been able to defy this reality thanks to their phenomenal fame, the majority of artists cannot break through this wall easily. KBS News, Cho Il Soo.

According to Kfan all 6 major DBSK5 fancafe are deciding on changing their stans and are voting on it right now.. one has already announced something, a summary:
Basically, this is an official statement from the DBSK fanclub ‘AkaDang’, a DBSK5 fanclub of people in their 20s…the bulk of the message deals with how the fanclub was disappointed in SM’s decision to have Homin continue under the name Dong Bang Shin Ki, which only has meaning with all 5 original members present, and they are also disappointed in Homin’s tacit consent in using the name DBSK and coming back with a song that (in the fanclub’s view) disses the other three members. This unfortuante decision has thrown this fancafé, as well as the majority of Korean fan cafés that support all 5 members of DBSK, into a crisis of identity…and the lack of foresight that this would happen on the part of SM and Homin is disappointing. After a long deliberation, the admins of Akadang have decided to drop all Homin related information/promotion from the café page and continue in full support of JYJ BUT of JYJ as members of DBSK…they are debating between using either ‘JYJ from DBSK’ or ‘JYJ in DBSK’ as their main concept. The message ends with some words addressed to SM: Is this really how SM treats its fandoms? Does SM really think its decision and actions thereafter are benefiting Homin? If SM is truly an entertainment agency that doesn’t think of its artists as products, then can’t it at least “pretend” to act responsibly in light of social justice?
Finally kcassies are deciding to support only one side
One of them DAUM 20sum tvxq fancafe announcement
“This fancafe existed since tvxq debut, never waver once..”
However, they explain why they come to this point to make a painful decision….(long announcement will be translated later to international cassies)
They say from now on they will support only JYJ
Fans in korea say they can’t support any SME’s activity
DNBN, Yuaerubi, DC are deciding right now.
