What you’re about to read are clauses/contents of DBSK’s contract with SM Entertainment, which basically is the same for the other SM artists.

Reading the above clauses of their contract really left me speechless and made my hatred for SM heighten. Seriously, those are VERY UNJUST clauses and are considered “inhumane” for artists. Although all the contents of the contract are PLAIN RIDICULOUS, what made me angry the most are the ones regarding the income distribution and the part where SM could let the other artists use/sing DBSK’s sings without DBSK’s permission. SM really has no respect for its artists and only cares about money. For it, the artists are only there to make money for the company and nothing more. Those press releases about “SM Family” are pure hypocrisy (well, at least on the company’s part).I swear, SM should just GO TO HELL. There I said it. I’ve really lost my patience.

    i’m so sad that all 5 of them could stand until before the lawsuit with such a disgusting contract. … yeah … 6 years is not a short period. how much they had to endure with all these unfair situations. SM must compensate our DBSK for all these damages. i HATE SM!

    Tsk…how about the 40% of their profit bullshit??? WOW…this is actually the first time i swore online. i never did this before. SM is just a piece of insensitive CRAP. all of their sayings and all of their actions;
    the way they speak of their artists…treating like ‘family’ doesn’t get to me,that is a HIGH level of hypocrisy there. what i know is, family DOESN’T take advantages of others or does the definition change already?? hhh~~ !!

    Yes I agree but I will be more silent though *waves finger at computer screen* *mumbles to herself and flaps arms*

    The HELL?!?! Ok, though I support the boys unconditionally, I was a bit reserved about the profit splitting because I thought that SM covered all their costs! And now i find out that DBSk wasn’t covered at all?!?!

    SM should go to *#$$(*&!@(#!!!!!!!

    and that bit about SM being ‘allowed’ to steal DBSK’s songs? ARGH! It just made me want to RIP something!

    Holy crap!! SM is really need to go to hell!! they won’t be paid if they come to variety shows but not a regular guest?? that’s so cruel!! poor SHINee and Super Junior.. God, I feel like killing someone..

    I HATE U SM!!!!!! I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!!
    This is coming from a girl who barely ever hates…anything.
    Seriously,…. what i love the most is dbsk.. and seeing them having to go through such pain is killing me!!!!
    They sing with all their heart….and that’s not even for money!!!
    My love grew dramatically over the limits of heaven for DBSK whilst my hate for SM now couldn’t go further than the hell it is in!!!!
    The contract is unbelievable.
    Why are they doing this?!?!?!?
    I don’t like DBSK working for such crap bags anymore!
    I didn’t know it was THIS BAD!
    DBKS have like NOT a single bit of respect as the wonderful artists they are!
    Same goes for all the other artists!
    I bet 100% that any other Entertainment company would like super gladly take DBSK in as their family! The only thanks i can say to SM for is to bringing the five members together (altho their real intentions were to split them up apparently later on anyway O_o).
    AJA AJA FIGHTING DBSK!
    ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH!
    So proud of them that they stood up for their rights at least now! ^^

    What crap is this!
    They didnt get pay for attending show?
    Giving their song to others without permission?
    Food cost , manager cost and whatever cost all paid by DBSK?
    SM, please go to hell NOW.
    SM does not deserve to operate till now!
    DBSK, SUJU, etc ect… should just leave and let them close down!
    Without them, SM can’t even survive! >:(

  10. PhreakB says:

    I 100% agree with all of you, is not fair that SM just uses the artists to make money, that´s the only thing matters fot them, how is that possible, someomna must do something…I hate them!!

    I just have to say I love DBSK so much. They are truly great. But you can’t really be surprised that their contract is so unfair, this is not some game. It is the real world. It IS all about money. If the member of DBSK were stupid enough to get into such an unfair contract then there is really no case for the law suit. You cant sue people for your own stupidity!

    Btw, i know it doesnt seem like it but I LOVE DBSK. They are possibly my most favorite band of all time.

    WTF. to the person who made that contract: WHAT KIND OF FUCKING CONTRACT IS THAT? (sorry for cursing) but seriously, that sucks. AND YOU CALL THAT ENTERTAINMENT??? F.U. I hope that whoever made my favorite bands suffer will rot in hell with that contract.
    Yes, SME made them popular and all but why should they treat them that way? Do they always do something wrong? They’re HUMANS! Unlike to the person who created that crappy contract, an animal who wants to eat lots of money and shove it down to his dirty throat. Can i say a last word cause it frustrates me a lot… “The contract is a piece of shit..” thank you *bow*
