We all know about the things going around between DBSK and SM Entertainment. If not, you’re really slow.

The lawyer of the three boys that are suing SM: Jae Joong, Junsu, and YooChun, stated “Ever since the boys have been with SM Entertainment for five years, the company have done whatever they wanted with them, which, of course, made them tired. The members have a 13 year contract, which is too long. They don’t get what they ask for or what they deserve. The members didn’t bring the thought of disbanding, but feel that the contract is too much for them. What ever is going on right now is something different for the members, however, their relationship is stil strong and they still want to be a group as one.”

5 years after their debut, the three members are physically and emotionally fatigued from the company’s one-sided orders.
Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong, and Park Yoochun debuted as DBSK members in 2004. Since then, they have followed SM’s orders to go from Korea, Japan, to China. With the exception of 1 week for year, they were only able to get 3-4 hours of sleep and had to go through schedules. During this period, the health of the three members deteriorated and they were mentally fatigued. However, SM pushed DBSK into foreign markets which resulted in excess performance plans. In result, the three members felt that they would not be able to achieve their dreams in SM and would be just tools for the company’s profit. They wished to participate in entertainment activities according to their individual visions.

In reality, 13 years of contract meant a contract for life.
According to the contract, the period of the contract was 13 years, but when including military service, would exceed over 15 years. This meant that there was still 10 years to go with the current contract and in reality, meant until retirement. In the instance that the contract would be breached, the penalty would be to pay 3 times the total investment, 2 times the lost earnings. Even in the case that the contract is canceled when agreed by both parties, the members were required to pay penalty. Therefore, due to the millions of wons required by the contract upon cancellation, contract cancellation was realistically impossible and the members had no choice but to remain in SM.

The members did not receive adequate treatment from SM for their efforts.
Despite all this, during the duration of their contract, they did not receive adequate treatment from SM. They did not receive any earnest money from the contract, and according to the initial contract for album profit allotment clause, only when an album sold 500,000 copies, could they get $10,000 per member for the next album, and when albums sold less than 500,000 copies, the members could not receive any earnings. This clause was revised in 2009, February 6th, but even after the revision, earnings that each member would receive for the album sales were 0.4%-1% depending on the album sales.

The members requested for corrections to the unreasonable contract, but SM did not listen to the member’s opinions.
In this situation, the three members pointed out the unreasonable parts in the contract and asked multiple times to be freed from the contract’s boundary and work according to their visions but in response to the current situation, SM discussed issues dealing with their investments in the makeup company, not responding to the true nature of the problem. Despite all this, the three members wanted to find a way to deal with the situation and requested for a conference where both parties could find a solution but SM did not respond. During this process, by the attitudes shown by SM, the three members realized that there was no point in hoping for a settlement and resorted to the court of justice to execute a solution for the problems.

The members do not want DBSK to break up and just hope to free themselves from contract restraints.
May fans are worried that the disposition

First, it was Jaejoong. Then, it was Yunho. Now, DBSK’s maknae Max Changmin has joined the group’s ever-growing acting club, as he is set to star in an upcoming drama titled “Paradise Meadow”.

Besides Changmin’s casting, few details have been released so far about this Samhwa Networks-SM Entertainment romantic melodrama. First Shop of Coffee Prince’s Jang Hyun Joo and Into the Sun’s Suh Hee Jung co-wrote the script, and shooting starts at the end of August in Jeju Island, but as of now, there are no news of any rumored or confirmed co-stars.

Changmin’s entrance into the acting world means that the only non-acting DBSK members are Yoochun and Junsu. Heck, at this point, they might as well join the drama party, so networks could broadcast one of members’ shows every single weekday. South Korea, DBSK-less for so long, needs it’s daily dose of Dong Bang.

UknowYunho from TVXQ is now casted as a main character of the MBC's new drama "Heading to the Ground' 맨땅에 헤딩, which will be on the air on the weds, of Sep. 9th. The story is based on the true story of a Korean soccer player, Cha Bong Gun, and the plot will focues on the long, long life journey to become a successful soccer player, overcoming all the hardships and challanging oneself.

Yunho and the director already had a meeting on last sunday,19th of July, and the director was quite impressed by his determination and passion for acting. They will work together soon, and Yunho himself also is very excited about stepping into the world of drama acting.

Just days after refuting the rumors, it has been announced that 23-year-old DBSK singer U-Know Yunho is indeed making his acting debut in the soccer drama Heading to the Ground [맨땅에 헤딩].

The singer, born Jung Yun-ho, takes on the character of Cha Bong-kun, a role recently vacated by Kim Rae-won because of Kim's mandatory army obligation. To achieve the impossible goal of making it as a national player, the character pours all his passion into realizing the dream. While he has nothing to his name, the drama tells the miraculous success story of passionate soccer player Cha Bong-kun.

U-Know Yunho said of the role, I really like the character of Cha Bong-kun. Reading the script, my heart overflowed with emotion. I want to act that feeling with sincerity.

Heading to the Ground follows the Wednesday-Thursday horror drama Hon on MBC and premieres on September 9. No confirmation yet on the casting of his love interest, although Go Ara remains in contention
