Yunho continues to work hard for drama TVXQ's U-Know Yunho has been attracting attention by continuing on with filming for his drama even though the future of his group might be at stake. U-Know Yunho was cast for his acting debut on MBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Heading to the Ground' (Director Park Sungsoo, Writers Kim Solji, Kim Yehji) and began filming on the 28th last month. During the past week, TVXQ's members YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu filed for a Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional Disposition Request against SM Entertainment and the rift between the two sides have gotten deeper as time passes. However, this has not stopped U-Know Yunho from taking his lead role seriously and contunuing with the filming for the drama. One representative said on the 5th that, "U-Know Yunho is working extremely hard on set as he usually does even though he is surrounded by the chaos that is happening right now," and "We filmed on the 4th at Kyunggi-do Kimpo as well." They are busy filming throughout the night going back and forth from Seoul and its borders for the first few scenes. It was seen that U-Know Yunho has been trying very hard to be the best that he can be for his big role of his first drama. 'Heading to the Ground' is the success story of Cha Bong-goon, a man who has nothing but is driven by passion for playing soccer. U-Know Yunho, who has taken on the lead role, will be working alongside Ara, Lee Yoonji and Lee Sangyoon. On the other hand, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu have been stating that, "Our 13-year contract is basically a for-life contract," and "We. all five members, did not receive proper treatment from SM for our hard work." U-Know Yunho, along with Choikang Changmin, did not participate in this lawsuit. Source

SNSD in Car Accident SNSD / Girls' Genreation was in a minor fender bender last night after the filming for MBC's FM4U. SM entertainment released a statement saying that after the SNSD members finished filming, they left the studio in two separate cars towards Gangnam (where they are currently staying). On route, one of the cars merged into an adjacent car on Olympic Road. Thankfully, no members were hurt, but Hyoyeon had to go to the hospital to be treated for shock. SM later clarified the situation and released a few details. "It was a merge accident, so there was no major damage. No one was seriously injured, but Hyoyeon was riding behind the passenger seat, and hit her head on the passenger seat headrest. She is currently in the hospital for a checkup." Thankfully no one was hurt. Hopefully Hyoyeon has no injuries and will be ready to go for Sunday's Inkigayo Special Stage. The only thing to worry about at this point is the health of the driver. Father SM will not be pleased with him. I mean, his only job is to drive safely, and he screwed up. Not only did he screw up, but he screwed up while he was driving beautiful super idols in his car. Let's just hope he doesn't end up on the news next week. Source

090717-090723 Sukira transcripts Eunhyuk--petty or generous? Eunhyuk: Actually, I'm a generous person. Let me tell you how generous I am. Leeteuk: How are you generous? Eunhyuk: Just listen to me. Before, my girlfriend and her friend were singing at a KTV, and wanted me to come. I came when they were almost done. I sat there for 10 minutes and then went out first to pay the bill. Leeteuk: How is this generous? Why're you so petty to the members? Eunhyuk: We haven't gone to KTV's... Leeteuk: But don't you have to pay first at KTV's? Eunhyuk: No, no....ah, is it pay-first? Leeteuk: It's pay-first. Why're you lying? Eunhyuk: The place I went is pay-later. Pay-later. Leeteuk: No way. Before you sing, you have to decide how many hours you're singing, and then pay. Eunhyuk: No! The place I went really is pay-later T_T Leeteuk: Why are you lying. Eunhyuk: I'm really not lying! Leeteuk and Girlfriend Part I Leeteuk: When I was in the 3rd year of middle school, it was raining and I was walking under the umbrella with my girlfriend, and she suddenly said, "Oppa, I want to be in the rain." Eunhyuk: Ahaha, your girlfriend is the same type of person as you. Leeteuk: Just think about it, isn't it really stupid? 7th, 8th graders walking in the rain.. Eunhyuk: So what did you do? Leeteuk: I thought I was really mature at that time, so I said in a mature way, 'You want to go in the rain?' The news at the time said don't get in the rain and stuff...I managed to say, 'Ok, if you want, then go ahead.' Then she said she wanted to run, so I closed the umbrella and ran together...... Eunhyuk: You guys must have thought it was wonderful at that time. Leeteuk: Not at all. She's really scary, she's a rich girl. Eunhyuk: Ah? Were you forced to date her? Leeteuk: I found out after dating her...really scary. Leeteuk and Girlfriend Part II Eunhyuk: Leeteuk, after you break up with someone, have you contacted them or have they contacted you? Leeteuk: I have, on purpose. I called her and casually said 'Are you doing well?' She said, 'You've really got no shame! How can you do this?' 'What did I do?' Stuff like that. GUEST: How long after you broke up that you called? Leeteuk: Two months......She still picked up my calls at first, then started to avoid me. Then after a month I called again and said 'You're waiting for my call, right?' She didn't say anything, so I said, "I'm doing this for you because I have a good personality~' Ahahahha! I Live in the Deep Mountains Eunhyuk: Before, our family lived on the hill where it's very steep. If you ride a taxi at night, the road below is closed, so you can only go up through a very narrow alley. Leeteuk: Too narrow. Eunhyuk: It kills having to walk that road, plus after practice at night my legs hurt a lot. If you ride a taxi, the drivers don't like [going up]. Leeteuk: But going up your hill is really tiring. Before debut, we practiced until 2 or 3 AM, and once our manager wanted to see where we live, so he said he'll take us all home. So then we went around going to so many members' homes. The first one was Eunhyuk, you were giving directions. But it was so dark and late in the night, so the manager's driver said he can't go, sorry. Eunhyuk: That road is really too narrow...but there's nothing I could do... Leeteuk: After dropping you off, it was my turn. He said, 'Jungsoo-ah...we must succeed in the future...' Eunhyuk: Hahahahah, I said so many times before, that road's too narrow, he can just drop me off somewhere near. He was really unhappy and wanted to drop off at the door, he even got mad at me afterwards. Days Without Activities Eunhyuk: Leeteuk, when you don't have things to do, you're always staying at home, right? Leeteuk: I don't have times when I don't have things to do. Eunhyuk: Well recently you do. Leeteuk: It's just for showing that I'm very busy..hehe Eunhyuk: What do you do in your room? Leeteuk: Lie on the bed, open the computer and listen to music... Eunhyuk: What? You use your computer to listen to music? Leeteuk: Um-hum. I don't like using earphones, I always feel like someone will attack me from the back. It's really weird, I think I have a disease. Memories of the Piano Leeteuk: I remember when I was small and learning the piano, I always thought that men playing piano is not a good thing. Afterwards my mom sent me to learn taekwondo, I was really scared when I saw them kicking arms, so I ran away again. Eunhyuk: I was really indecisive when I was small and kept following my sister. She played piano, and I played piano also. Leeteuk: You've learned it before? Eunhyuk: Yeah. I stopped because that teacher was too scary. Leeteuk: She hit you? Eunhyuk: Not just an ordinary hit, 30 centimeter long flat ruler hitting my fingers... Leeteuk: They all use that. I got hit a lot too. Eunhyuk: It was too scary, so I didn't continue my lessons. Leeteuk: You had to make a mark once you've played [a song] ten times. I marked it after once, then just indifferently sat there. Eunhyuk: Yeah, yeah, I did that too. Leeteuk: My teacher came in and said how did I play so fast? Eunhyuk: I calculated the time too. When it's almost time, I'd mark once. Leeteuk: It's because of playing piano that my vision went bad. Looking at the black and white keys made my head ache. I only played through 1/30 [typo? 1/3 seems more reasonable] of the book and quit. After stopping for 10 years, I wanted to become a singer, so I started lessons again in the company. Eunhyuk: You're really regretful now right? Leeteuk: It's a shame, it's a shame. Eunhyuk: Now everyone says people who play piano are really cool. Leeteuk: I play well, right? Eunhyuk: I know all the music notes and stuff now. Hahah, I want to learn to play piano well too. Donghae listens to KTR everyday Leeteuk: Last week we went to the concert rehearsal, SHINee was there the whole day, then afterwards Onew called me and said "Hyung, I really worship you. Being a DJ is really too difficult!" Eunhyuk: Yeah, it's not as easy as it seems. [after a song plays] Leeteuk: Our SJ Donghae also texted us saying he's listening to the program. Eunhyuk: Why's he listening everyday? He really doesn't know that time is gold. Leeteuk: I wasn't talking about him just before, but he texted saying 'I worship you too......' Eunhyuk: He's really bored to death, hahahah. Thoughts on the Concert Leeteuk: Now we'll talk about the interlude of the Super Show from the 17th to 19th. Listener Fangyinna [don't know the original name so I just put the pinyin version here] says: 'I caught the towel that DJ Eunhyuk threw on Saturday's concert. I don't know whether I should wash it or just keep it that way. If it gets moldy, then it's really a pity. What should I do?' Umm....just wash it. Eunhyuk: Give it back to me, my towel... Leeteuk: Keep it for a few days, then wash it and use it as your own towel. Eunhyuk: Ah, some people don't want to wash their hands after shaking a star's hand, but you'll have to wash it anyways, sooner or later. It's good to wash the towel too, make it smell nice and keep it, it's meaningful that way too. Leeteuk: Um-hum. Eunhyuk, what interlude did you have for the concert? Eunhyuk: During Don't Don, we came in in a fighting scene. There's Eunhyuk's gang and Donghae's gang on two sides of the stage. I'm the gang leader, and Donghae's the leader of the other gang, and then both sides will begin real fighting. Actually, during rehearsal we just lightly kicked, but for the first real performance Donghae kicked me really heard, and my chest went "bang!" I saw this guy's playing it real, so I also kicked him for real. Leeteuk: Wasn't it fun to fight these 3 days? Eunhyuk: Yeah, the last day, Donghae's necklace broke...I kicked it...but we were focused on singing, so we didn't really care. Leeteuk: We also have another breaking news for the concert. An 85-years-old granny said she was our fan and came. We didn't call her 'Grandma,' but used 'Noona' instead Eunhyuk: Noona, our ELF noona. Leeteuk: To us, there's no Moms, Aunts, or Grandmas...all older female fans are Noonas. Eunhyuk: Yeah, she was so happy. Leeteuk: Noona! Hello! Eunhyuk: Yep, she didn't leave for one second. More than three hours straight. It's really moving. Leeteuk: Yeah. Eunhyuk: We also wore hats and pretended to be animals...Leeteuk, what were you? Leeteuk: I was a dinosaur. Eunhyuk: I was an anchovy...At first, our company asked me what I wanted to be, I thought there mustn't be anchovy hats in the world, so I said 'anchovy'... Surprisingly, they managed to borrow it the day before the concert, saying it was really hard to find...No matter how I said I'm not anchovy, I had to wear it on stage. Leeteuk: Everyone had to wear one, so they let me wear the dinosaur hat. I wanted to change to a duck one, but they won't let me, saying they've already printed [the shirt?] Eunhyuk: Our KTR team went Friday too. Thank you everyone. Leeteuk: Didn't we dance GEE? SNSD went on Saturday and said they were really happy. Our CEO said the company doesn't need SNSD anymore because Super Junior already took over for them. Eunhyuk: Actually, just our Heechul alone is enough. He made us go find SNSD on our own, not only watch videos, and analyze more. Leeteuk: He made us call the matching member, so I called Taeyeon many times. Eunhyuk: yeah, we put in a lot of effort before performing. Also, during our performance, member Kibum wasn't able to come due to his foot injury. He really wanted to come, but the flight time wasn't ok, so he arrived in Korea when the last stage almost ended. We went to dinner together, he kept saying it's regretful. Leeteuk: Yeah. Who were you when we imitated SNSD? Eunhyuk: I was Hyoyeon, a dance machine like me, so I'm Hyohyuk. Leeteuk: Hyohyuk. I imitated Taeyeon, so I'm Teuktaegoon. She said I was really cute afterwards. Eunhyuk: We have received SNSD's approval. Leeteuk: Sunny was the happiest. We have a song titled Sunny Sunny, she said we sang it as if it was our own song. Eunhyuk: Anyways, this is our unforgettable memory... Leeteuk: Uh-huh! Personally...I was the happiest during my solo... Eunhyuk: Why are you so selfish even on stage. Leeteuk: No... Eunhyuk: You are, obviously... Leeteuk: I was just performing a musical. Eunhyuk: What musical, you just casually sang and BOBO'ed at the end and it's over. Leeteuk: What casual, don't underestimate my artistical skill. Eunhyuk: I thought you were performing a strip show...not like a concert. And... Leeteuk: The girl dancer was surprised... Eunhyuk: The most meticulously prepared one was the dance I made with Shindong for SORRY SORRY. We prepared overnight and spent a lot of effort. Anyhow, for our hardwork prepared concert, I thank everyone who went, thank you. Leeteuk: We will work harder. Let's listen to a song... [song plays] Leeteuk: When we were just listening to the song, many people who went to the concert texted us saying 'Why didn't you talk about meeeeeee...' Eunhyuk: Jungmo and Donghae want us to talk about their piece. Leeteuk: Jungmo, don't bother us [in a lighter way] Eunhyuk: Talk about it on your own Cyworld, don't use our program. Leeteuk: This is our holy KBS. Eunhyuk: We can't even finish talking about our own stuff. Leeteuk: When we played the song, Donghae kept calling, 'Hyung, it's too funny, hahah, too funny!!' Eunhyuk: What is this person doing. Leeteuk: He's too bored. Eunhyuk: He should go practice. Leeteuk: Ah, my toenail broke during the concert... Eunhyuk: You're too serious...the way you dance is too unique. Leeteuk: I danced to GEE too seriously. All Kinds of Audiences at the Concert Leeteuk: So many people went our concert a few days ago. Eunhyuk: Um-hm, seems like many people went with their parents in every corner that I've walked. Leeteuk: There was also a company worker around 30 years old who was curious about how idol groups can perform more than 3 hours. At the end he said it wasn't boring at all, the 3 hours went by really fast, and we were very successful. Eunhyuk: We're always very funny, so it must be very fun to watch us. Playful Ryeowook Continued Leeteuk: I often go to Han River recently. Eunhyuk: Really? I don't have time recently, I used to go often. Leeteuk: I went with Donghae and Ryeowook just yesterday. Eunhyuk: Yeah, I heard. When I went in the dorm, Ryeowook...you know that thing...that prank toy...the prank toy that looks like poop. Leeteuk: Oh that, we have it on the 12th floor too. Ah, so that's a prank toy...I thought it was a cat's. Eunhyuk: Yesterday midnight Ryeowook went in my room with a plastic bag on his hand holding that and said, 'Ah, Hyung! Did 12th floor's Heechul Hyung's cat come to our place?' I said no, then he said frightenedly, 'Then what is this? The cat must've came down.' 'Then hurry and throw it away' He said 'What the heck' then threw it on my bed. I exploded in an instant and almost got mad at him. I couldn't stop laughing after making sure it's just a prank toy. Leeteuk: It really was a prank toy? That thing's still on top of our dorm TV now, I've always thought it's a cat's and can't be moved by hand, so I plodded it with a pen. It was pretty hard. Eunhyuk: It's very realistic. Leeteuk: I even thought it was very old so it hardened and didn't smell. Eunhyuk: Ryeowook really seems to like making these kinds of jokes. Last time when my parents came to the dorm, he even told on me that I brought a woman home. This kid really likes playing jokes. Leeteuk: Yeah, before when we went to Han River with Donghae and Ryeowook during the prep period for the concert, Ryeowook was singing and dancing by himself, and even asked if he danced right. Yesung Went to the OB-GYN!? Leeteuk: Our member Yesung went to the hospital once, the hospital's optometry department was on the 3rd floor to the right, the left side is OB-GYN [women's health, births, etc] department. That kid went up to the 3rd floor on elevator and went straight to the left side without thinking, took a number, and sat down. People asked him where he was not feeling well, he said, 'Ugh....my eyes hurt...' Eunhyuk: Hmm...maybe he got lost because he couldn't see well... Invincible Two Woons Eunhyuk: Before, in one of our van's trunk, someone ate Soondae [contains pig organs] and threw a piece of liver. Leeteuk: It was there for 3 months. Eunhyuk: Yeah, there was a really strong smell for more than one week. Guest: Who threw it? Leeteuk: We don't know the true assasin yet. Eunhyuk: We suspect it's either Kangin or Yesung. Hahah, you've been tricked! Eunhyuk: Before, I heard that in one our fansign events, a member received a fan's gift box. When he opened it, it only had a "Haha, you've been tricked" sound... Leeteuk: That's me... Eunhyuk: Ah, it's you. Leeteuk: During the fansign event, a fan gave me a box for a luxury brand watch, and she said to keep it wel since it's a brand name product. The manager behind me saw how expensive it was so he helped me save it. The second day I opened it in the dorm, it only had the "Haha, you've been tricked" sound... Eunhyuk: That's so fun! Our fans are so funny. Leeteuk: It's not fun. I don't like this kind of things, it's really boring. Source

The DBSK Situation, the Truth and Distortion (Interview with Acquaintance) The future of idol group DBSK is uncertain. DBSK’s 3 members (Micky YooChun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejoong) and SM’s trouble is too deep. Although they state that there will be no disbandment, in reality, disbandment is more than likely. Even if they avoid the worst case scenario, disbandment, it feels like their departure of SM is set. On the third, a acquaintance of the 3 members said, “settlement with SM has been tried multiple times. But their differences couldn’t be settled. The reason this went to court is because they couldn’t find a point to settle.” Thus, they concluded that more attempts for negotiations was useless. The acquaintance that the reporter met is someone who has watched over DBSK very closely. He has experienced all ups and downs since debut until now. According to him, DBSK advocated for only one thing. They wanted conditions of the contract to be eased. However, it has gotten to a point where the conversations between the two parties have gone nowhere. He stated, “they asked for the contract term and earnings distribution to be revised because everyone could tell it was irrational. They attempted to negotiate until the end but they felt that SM was avoiding them. Therefore, things got emotional for both parties and the 3 members are even more angry with SM’s response.” “The truth about the 3 things that SM distorted.” After the initial reports about this incident, SM sent documents on the 1st and the 3rd. On the first, they reported that this problem was due to the makeup company investment and they will work it out. After the contract conditions were reported, they responded that members were paid 11 billion Won and were given foreign cars as presents. In response to this, he stated, “the nature of this instance is the unfair contract, not the make up company. However, SM has not mentioned the contract conditions and have continued to use make up company issues to play with the media.” Additionally, he discussed about the 11 billion Won. He said, “let’s say SM is right and that they were paid 11 billion won for the 6 years of work. This is the pre-tax profit. After taxes were paid, and this amount is divided by 6 years, and 5 members, this is less than 200 million won per member. For the first half of this year, the profits from album sales in Japan is 2.5 billion Yen (33 billion won). However, DBSK doesn’t even receive 200 million won per year.” The total number of albums released in and outside of Korea is 48. Out of these, including singles and full albums, 1.96 million copies were sold in Korea. In Japan for 4 full albums and 27 singles, 8 of those sold over 100,000 copies, and one sold over 250,000 copies. Including south-east Asia, at least 4 million albums were sold. He also criticized abnormal methods of calculating methods. According to him, “SM requested money for back dancers and food. Basically, almost all of the expenses were paid for by DBSK.” He added, “besides this, SM created a local subsidiary and divided the earnings of DBSK into pieces. For example, SM Japan and Avex divided earnings, and this was also divided with Korean SM. With complex divisions, the money for the members were reduced. Also, he stated that the foreign cars were given to them under the company’s name. “They received cars from SM after an award ceremony. However, the cars were registered in SM’s name and is not owned by DBSK.” “The three members are as tired as they can get.” According to this acquaintance, the three members of DBSK are tired of SM’s play with the press. They have no intention to solve this with mere words, and are extremely upset that SM is exaggerating only one side of the story, distorting the truth. He said, “they expected SM to twist words with the press but didn’t realize it would be to this extent. If SM continues this method, I think it would be nearly impossible to work together with SM again. I suspect that they will part with SM and try to find a different solution to settle this. Their departure from SM does not bean the disbandment of DBSK. He asserts that there is no problems in relationships between all the members. They are still like family and agree that in any situations, they must work together. He said, “Truthfully, all five had the same intentions. But in the process of negotiations, there was differences between the members. That is why only 3 members decided to fight with their company. They all agree that the contract conditions are irrational, it is just that their way of handling it is different.” “DBSK will continue even after departure with SM” Micky YooChun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejoong’s will is stronger than ever. The acquittance reported that, “the 3 members are showing stronger wills than before debut. The three members are determined to stick together no matter what hardships come their way.” They are also determined to get back together as 5 members under the name DBSK. He revealed, “even if the 3 members leave SM through lawsuit, this only means departure from SM. This does NOT mean the disbandment of DBSK. It may be after the 2 remaining members leave, or if they perform from 2 different companies; the 5 want to continue with DBSK.” Well then, if 3 members leave SM, would they still be able to use the name ‘DBSK.’ Upon researching in the Industrial Property Office, the group name ‘DBSK’ is not registered. SM registered for DBSK trademark in 2004 but was denied. In other words, SM does NOT have the right to the name ‘DBSK.’ According to a ‘Mansung’ Patent Law Firm Office, the patent attorney Hwang Sung Pil said, “Dong Bang means East and one cannot assert exclusive right to use it. Most likely, this was probably the reason why the application was denied 2004. SM cannot assert any trademark rights to the name. If the 5 members are together even away from SM, they will have no problems using the name.” More than anything, DBSK feels extremely sorry to their fans. This is why they want to go through with performances that were already scheduled. The acquaintance reported, “if they lose the lawsuit, they may have to pay an extreme amount of money for penalty. More than that, they are going through hard times thinking that they will have to be away from their fans while the lawsuit is in process.” Source
