JYJ - The Legendary Survivors (Part 1)

We wills start off  with DBSK 13 years contract.

As we know, DBSK originally consists of:

Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu, Shim Changmin & Jung Yunho

The 5 of them debuted under SM in 2009, and soon rose to stardom and became a legendary boyband in the Kpop industry.

Despite at the peak of popularity, JYJ risked their career and filed a lawsuit against SM. 

Here is the ugly truth behind their success.

THE SLAVE CONTRACT:

1. SM took all the earnings from all DBSK activities.

2. The copyright of the member's self-composed songs is registered under SM. - no matter what, the members cant perform those songs without SM permission

3. If the contract is terminated by all means, DBSK will have to pay triple fold of the promoted fees, and twice amount of the estimated profit to SM.

4. From the income given to DBSK, they have to cover the expenses incurred for overseas promotions, stylists, dancers, and all the staffs.

5. Their album sales must exceed 500,000 copies, or else they will receive 0 income.

6. The members are required to participate in activities despite:

Being injured

• Sick

Throughout those years, Cassiopeias had been deceived that the members were living a good life, as they never fail to keep their fatigue, and suffering to themselves, and pun on a 'healthy-looking' image

 

In life there is always a limit....

Eventually Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu thinks that something was not right, thus a lawsuit was filed to claim their rights...
