Money war:
SM stocks continue to fall for 4th straight day due to DBSK issue
TVXQ brought in US8.2 million in earnings for SM last year
The share price of S.M. Entertainment, one of Korea’s most well-known talent agencies, dove for four straight days after members of its flagship boy band TVXQ filed a lawsuit against the company for what they called an unfair contract.
DBSK
Three members of the five-member pop group, which helped bring the agency overseas sales of more than 10 billion won ($8.2 million) last year, claimed they were forced to sign a contract lasting for more than 10 years with little room for pay negotiation.
The firm’s stock, listed on the junior Kosdaq market with a total market value of 58.3 billion won, shed 3.07 percent to close at 3,625 won yesterday, the fourth straight day of declines and down nearly 20 percent since July 31, when news of the lawsuit broke.
The complainants, Micky, Xiah and Hero, formally filed suit against S.M. Entertainment on Friday to annul their contract. Two other members, Max and U-Know, declined to join in. The former three had already expressed frustration with what they called an unfairly long contract that calls for an overwhelming work schedule and unclear terms on how profits would be shared. The company said in a statement Saturday it would “deal with the issue” in a timely manner.
“About 27.5 percent of the sales of S.M. Entertainment come from overseas, and TVXQ earns a large portion of it,” said Kim Chang-kwon, analyst at Daewoo Securities. TVXQ is one of the firm’s five most popular franchises along with BoA, Girls’ Generation, Super Junior and Shinee. “A problem in one of the five franchises will inevitably hurt the firm’s share price.”
TVXQ debuted in 2004 and has since become popular across Asia. (Joong Ang Daily)

GGYYYA I'm hyper excited now!! lol. You guys are flirting??! *evil laugh* How dare you flirt with the girl infront of million fans aka us ?! LOL
Okay, I browse through youtube and searched for a Japanese show 'Tokudane'. Thanks for the subbing team, I can understand what are they talking about, especially the flirting part. LOL gaah joking!
First of all, two beautiful ladies are doing introduction of the show. Dang! I spotted a pretty young host - Nakano Minako-san who looks like the girl in Doushite- PV. xD (Will it be the same girl? lol)
They really like the boys a lot! Recently Japan is pouring so much love on THSK lol. *cheers* The starting is somehow like a fangirling-introduction xDDD great!
The hosts praised them from their kakkoi stylish appearances to their great show and talented skills plus holding 'Stand by U' CD cover, close up the view, introducing their new song and said 'Don't you think that the jacket single is cool too? ... It's really great. ' ... then put it down after holding for few more seconds xD
The host named Sayaka-san also mentioned she sneaked into the recording place in the middle of show when THSK was filming for 'Stand by U' LIVE last time. She sat aside with Kasa-san and Oomura-san (a guy host) just to see them in real person. 'So we just sat there and just went, wonderful, wonderful, Cool!' LOL it's funny!! Just because they didn't expect them to look good in real person xD
Then she said Oomura-san fell for them even he's a man lol.
Okay, long story xD
Here it is. The most different interview ever-flirting video is here. KAKA!
Part One.
I can sense the 'different' aura since the boys started their interview!!
Yuchun is being so quiet at first and keep playing with his fingers/cup and didn't have many eye contact with the host. (I'm wondering when they did this recording? He used to be laaazy in the morning but he's not in this interview lol)
Okay, actually I didn't think much bout the flirty side untill I saw this....
Part Two.
I'm not used to the HYPER excited Yunho! xDD He is being... very sporting and... quite lost (lol) since the beginning. All JERKY and LIVELY!!
Yuchun feels shy? but I remember JJ said he's the guy who will keep staaaring at the girl if he's interested with her. xDDDD
Anyway, I just feel ssooo funny when I saw him covered his mouth and smile shyly when she asked him whether he likes Udon, or not. Then, our deary yuchun said YES. The girl host even said she can cook for him since she was born in the place where Udon originated from.
Annnddd, Junsoo-ah, you starting to be flirty too!!!! I know you tried! HAHAHA good good!!!! LOL.
Throughout the interview, the girl is trying to be calm and she's really well-mannered! And the boys?
JJ always doing the hand gesture where he rests his head on his hand. Staring at the host. Answering questions as usual. with compliments. ^^
He's the one who started to mention this interview IS REALLY FUN.
Even JS sensed it and agreed with it. 'It's different... the very first time. lol.'
Then, our deary yuchun again, speechless and can't frankly say that how different is it... 'Rather than it's interesting......*pause* it's GOOD'. HAHA!!!
Oh boysss... I know the girl is really prettyyyy lol. And she's the closest type of ideal girl to satisfied you guys.
By the way, I'm glad that all of you completed the interview smoothly. lol.
I finally can see you guys as a bunch of ordinary young mens who being fun infront of hot girl. haha. Well, it's rare and kinda hard for artistes to be such infront of TV.
Teasing around... laughing akwardly lol... keep mentioning different different different... xDD
All the fans, who watched the video, have the same feeling:
This is pleasantly DIFFERENT from others. xD
