XD It was an extremely fun concert. Will never forget that night.^^
SM is the entertainment company they were under when they were in DBSK. It's a really long story, with lots of problems, but basically the three decided to make a decision to leave once they realized the group was being ripped off. They were only getting 1 to 5% of all their earnings (they had such crazy schedules, you have no idea) and 95% of the money would go to the company. Album sales, tv appearances, they received 0$ for it. To imagine what it must feel like when more than 500,000 copies of your album are sold and you're left with nothing. The other two members, for reasons, we still are not sure about, stayed. Probably for fear, I don't know. But the three left, filed a lawsuit against SM to invalidate their slave contract and it has been going on with no end for two years now. Eventhough the court has said the three could continue their activities, the boys till this day have not been able to appear in television in Korea, their own country or in Japan. SM is a very powerful company and they're blocking JYJ as much as they possibly can. The fans buy their albums like crazy, even get to the point of making posters and ads, very professional looking, and put them on subways, buses to make publicity for them when they cannot. I was relieved at least when through individual projects the boys were able to show up on tv. But, their dream, their love is in singing. Singing together under the name JYJ. They have yet to appear on a music show and no one dares to invite them despite how much of huge success their album sales were. That's why the JYJ fans are so willing to support them. They took a huge leap when they left SM, the three confirmed they knew there was a possibility they would never sing again, but still they did the jump. And through a lot of obstacles, which, unfortunetly, the majority still exist, they are here today. So...FUCK SM. I'd say it a million times.
And I apologize for the long explanation, but I tried to be as brief as possible.
