2009 is a year full of changes for Kim Do-jun and the entertainment industry, the changes are so fast that even Kim Do-jun himself can't react, emotionally, between friends, a series of blows, he is a little breathless, new things happen every day, and all kinds of people appear every day, the entertainment industry is like this, the era of new people always pushes everyone forward.

Kim Do-joon cleaned up his mood and didn't care about these things anymore, and had already instructed Kim so young to let him get in touch with Park Jae-beom, it is estimated that he is alone in the United States, and he is also a little bored!

Obviously, he has already arrived in South Korea and become an artist, and his popularity is also very high, but he was suddenly forced to return to the United States, faded the halo of a star, and lived his previous life, and it is estimated that there is a big gap.

If necessary, Kim Do-joon also instructed Kim so-young to go directly to Seattle, USA, to find him and talk face-to-face, if you guessed correctly, not only Kim Do-joon, but also others noticed Park Jae-beom, in case they rushed ahead of him, it would really be a regret to die.

Originally, the strength and heritage of CJES was not so deep, the most critical point was that the time of establishment was too short, and the popularity was not high, and now there is not even a successful combination, so naturally there is not much attraction, although it is accelerating development, it will take a while to lay a solid foundation for the future take-off.

Now that I think about it, only by constantly absorbing mature artists is the most direct and effective way.

But just when Kim Do-joon wanted to completely calm down, a wave of unsettled waves arose, and he received another unexpected news.

In the afternoon, I returned home from the company. Kim Do-joon just pulled out a can of drink from the refrigerator. Opened it. I raised my head and took two sips, when I heard someone open the door.

"Do-joon, I'm back!"

Kim Do-joon looked at Kim so-young with a strange expression, some excited, some excited, and some abnormal, Kim so-young has been with him for a long time, and it can be said that his emotions are well controlled. It's rare to be in front of Kim Do-joon, there are a lot of mood swings, and today is a little abnormal.

"What's wrong? What's going on? ”

Kim Dojun raised his eyebrows, sat down on the sofa, cocked Erlang's legs, and immediately asked.

"Of course, there is something, I just received the news that the three members of TVXQ, Park Youtian, Kim Jae-jung, and Kim Jun-so, filed a lawsuit with the local court in Seoul, asking for a judgment that their agreement with S.M is invalid. In other words, the three of them want to leave S.M! ”

Kim Do-joon heard the news. Immediately bounced up from the couch and was surprised.

"It's really fake, has it been decided to file a lawsuit?"

I used to vaguely know that the relationship between TVXQ and S.M Company is not very harmonious, as the hottest and hottest men's group in Asia, their efforts and remuneration do not match at all, and there are many trips, and in the past two years, the focus has shifted to Japan and made a lot of money.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of BIGBANG, it is estimated that S.M would not have brought TVXQ back from Japan so quickly, confronted BIGBANG head-on in South Korea, and suppressed YG's momentum.

Kim Do-joon will keep an eye on it, once there is a chance, the one who should be poached will be poached, what is there to be afraid of, I used to consider that Taeyeon is an artist of the S.M company and the captain of Girls' Generation, but now it seems that there is no problem at all, if the three sons of TVXQ can join the CJES company, the impact on the entire company will be huge, not to mention whether other companies dare to accept the three members of TVXQ, even if it is a TV station, it is not willing to offend the huge S.M company.

In the past, TV stations may be a little stronger and can ban artists at will, but that is only a small entertainment company, giants like S.M, they don't worry about their artists being banned, there are three major TV stations in South Korea, and there are other TV stations, if artists don't participate in their variety shows, it's enough to drink a pot, how can they accept members who defected!

"Hmmm! The court has already announced, saying that it has received a lawsuit application, and I found someone to understand that the fuse seems to be that the other three members of TVXQ and their parents jointly run a cosmetics brand, and the three members of Park Youtian also took leave from the company and prepared to attend the launch of the product, who knew that after the concert, the company suddenly rejected their request for leave, so the conflict immediately intensified, and the last three members still participated in the company's product launch, so that personal interests and company interests conflicted, How is it possible not to hit the earth with Mars! ”

Kim so Young is right, artists want to run their own cosmetics brands, this is an unrealistic thing, when you sign an exclusive contract, your image rights, your endorsements, are basically owned by the brokerage company uh, this is a big cake, the company will not be stupid enough to let the artist build a brand outside alone, and then use his fame to promote the brand, who is not a fool, TVXQ is so popular, three members on one platform, how much attention from the media and fans attracts.

Xianhou fans 600,000, this is still a regular army, if you count Asia, there are no members, then I don't know how many, they used to be invited to attend events, they all cost money, the company is earned, and now I suddenly tell myself that I want to stand for my brand, if you are the boss of S.M company, can you agree?

I guess no one will agree, because this is an example, once it starts, it is difficult to control, and everyone wants to go out and set up another door by themselves.

Create a cosmetics brand today, unite to build a clothing brand tomorrow, and open a gourmet store the day after tomorrow, once the interests of the company and shareholders are touched, the artists are basically the whole share, from the Korean entertainment industry to the present, there are really artists and companies who fight against each other and win in the end, basically no.

Even if you leave the original company, you will be ruthlessly retreating from a layer of skin, and when you have to be interviewed afterwards, you will keep saying good things about the original company, this is the reality, thanks to the company's training, without the company, there would be no oneself now.

Even if I go to a new company, I will bless my old club and hope that they will get better and better. There are just too many of these polite words. Feel free to search the internet. You can see a lot of articles like this.

"Hmmm! What Brother Su Yong said makes sense, so what kind of situation is it now, what does it say on the Internet! ”

"How else can I say it, the Internet is a headline every day now, Park Jae-beom's matter is not over yet, TVXQ has occupied the headlines all of a sudden, I guess it will be a long time! Now the fans are divided into two factions, supporting the other three. There are also those who support the left-behind S.M company and scold each other on the Internet! I heard that their slave contract has been exposed! ”

Since his debut in 2004, he has almost no time to rest, shuttling between China, Japan, South Korea, and the development of the three countries, with only one week of vacation time every year, and only 3 to 4 hours of sleep a day for the rest of the time, and the key thing is that the contract period of 5 people has reached 13 years, which is simply a deed of sale. Not to mention the overload of work, it also seriously hurts the artist's body. It also stipulates: If they serve in the military, the contract will be automatically extended to more than 15 years, which means that they are at least in their thirties from the time of their debut to the expiration of their contract, and if they propose to terminate the contract, they will need to pay hundreds of billions of won in liquidated damages.

In this way, the idea that they want to leave the company is completely locked, and this compensation is too high and may not be earned for a lifetime, standard slave contracts and overlord clauses.

And the contract also wrote that if the album sold 500,000 copies, each of them could only get 10 million won, that is, 56,000 yuan, which is a drizzle compared to 500,000 albums.

South Korea has strict rules on the contract standards for artists, and the maximum contract period between artists and brokerage companies should not exceed seven years, so this 13-year contract has indeed suffered extremely unfair treatment, so as soon as it was exposed on the Internet, it immediately aroused criticism from netizens, who accused S.M of being inhumane and inhumane.

To be honest, there are too many slave contracts like this in South Korea, but they have not been publicly exposed, TVXQ is just a microcosm of the entertainment industry being controlled by a brokerage company, and it is not clear whether there is a future or not, but in private, there are too many trainees who want to be famous, even if it is a strict slave contract, there are people who are willing to sign it, and when he debuts for a period of time and understands the gap between reality and others, he may have some other ideas, which is why few artists in the Korean entertainment industry stay in one company from beginning to end.

South Korea's brokerage system originated from Japan, and at first it was to protect artists and reduce accidents, so before cooperating, all working conditions and remuneration would be clearly communicated, but after arriving in Korea, the brokerage system was so harsh that there was nothing to say.

Many people think that newcomers in the entertainment industry will be squeezed by brokerage companies, in fact, even Jun Ji-hyun, Choi Ji-woo, and Kwon Sang-woo can't escape such control, let alone newcomers who have just debuted.

When they sign a contract with their respective agencies, they will ask to disclose all the details of their private lives, and even what unbearable past they had before they became celebrities.

The details of love and breakup must be told to the company honestly, and it can be said that there is no personal space.

Korean artists respect their agents very much and dare not disobey their instructions, so they will be scolded at least and beaten at worst, of course, there are some people with good character who cannot be generalized.

Someone had dinner with Jun Ji Hyun, but the agent didn't say anything about starting, and Jun Ji Hyun didn't even dare to touch the chopsticks.

Discovering artists in Korea is anytime and anywhere, even if you stand on the side of the road and look at the scenery, you may be discovered by talent scouts.

To sum up, the agency invests in money, and the artist invests in youth, and their idea is to sell a watch that was originally only 20 yuan for 10,000 yuan.

Once you become an artist, you have to live a life of great pressure, the reason is very simple, South Korea is the only country in the world that implements the online real-name system, strong public opinion pressure can sometimes destroy anyone, no matter how strong your heart is, hundreds of thousands of people attack you at the same time, insult you, greet your family, what is it like.

This is also why Taeyeon always feels that she is under a lot of pressure and has a heavy shoulder, not for nothing.

The character of the Korean people is summed up as the root nature of the aluminum pot, what does it mean!

is a little fire, it will heat up quickly, and as soon as the fire is turned off, it will immediately cool down, which also means that the popularity of artists is like this, it will not be insured for a long time, it is red and cold.

The packaging of Korean idol artists is very successful, but they are completely different in private and in front of fans, they live very cautiously, work very hard, and endure the oppression of the company.

Now the media and insiders in South Korea are not optimistic that TVXQ can continue to be together, and the interests of the two sides can no longer be resolved through simple negotiation.

Kim Do-joon and Kim so-young chatted for a while, and then they learned that Kim so-young went to the company today, and happened to hear Baek Chang-so talk about it, saying that S.M company had recently hired a large number of bodyguards to go to the airport, and I was curious to inquire about what was going on.

There are no idols that fans want to like to separate, so everyone's emotions are more excited, and the scene becomes more mixed.

Pushing, stampeding, fighting, all kinds of things, under the escort of bodyguards, TVXQ members left the airport in nanny cars, leaving a big mess for them to clean up, and I heard that the hospital sent an ambulance.

The interests of artists and companies are originally an entangled matter, who is more and who is less, who suffers, who benefits, how can it not be clear, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the only way is to find a balance in the right position, which is the key to solving the problem.

That night, Kim so young began to get busy according to Kim Do-joon's instructions, thinking about it, Kim Do-joon was not willing to miss this opportunity, and then waited until the next TVXQ, I don't know when, rather than cheap other companies, it is better to keep it to himself, even if it is head-to-head with the S.M company, he is not afraid, there will be adventures, there will be gains, not to mention that it is just a small entertainment company.

Now Kim so Young can be said to have a lot of things on his shoulders, all of which are pressed on his shoulders alone, and when he finishes these things, he can comfortably prepare to get married and go out for a vacation. (To be continued......)
