Park Chan Chong, “Fully Agrees and Supports TVXQ’s Fanclub”

Woah, this whole issue between JaeChunSu and SM has caught not only the attention of the media but also politicians as well. It looks like this really is not only a problem in between JaeChunSu and SM but has become an eye-opener of the problem in the whole Kpop industry as well as the kind of laws Korea has in protecting artists like DBSK. I’m glad that the efforts of the fans to make other people know about this situation are not taken for granted because as we can conclude from this report, many prominent people are starting to see the whole picture and are starting to voice out their comments. They might not directly be involved in this situation but the comments they make can help other people understand what really is happening. Their seemingly DBSK-sided comments are somehow helping JaeChunSu because at least SM will not have an easy time twisting stories and making excuses.

Park Chan Chong, “Fully Agrees and Supports TVXQ’s Fanclub”

TVXQ’s fanclub had exposed SM Entertainment’s inhuman contract with TVXQ through advertisements on the newspaper.

Regarding this, Mr. Park Chan Chong (former governor) stated that he “fully supports and agrees” with them. Mr. Park expressed, “Our government has the responsibility to arrest those who make mistakes. This should be settled through the rule of law, to prove a democratic society.”

Last 4th of August, Mr. Park had commented on the lawsuit issue between TVXQ and SM Entertainment, “On the basics of slave contracts, it had violated ‘Defraud’ (Article 348 of the Constitution) and ‘Inappropriate income’ (Article 349 of the Constitution).”

TVXQ’s fanclub focused on the ‘slave contract’ in the lawsuit, to submit the petition to the Seoul Central Court.

On top of that, they also raised funds and collected signatures. To date, over 190k of signatures have been collected, of which 70k came from the online petition and 120k from the offline petition.

Civil servants and governors stated that the government should supervise this incident. Last year, they had stopped all the awful and offensive comments by the “Choi Jin-sil Law.” Now, it’s time to stop these inhuman acts from agency companies by the “TVXQ Law.”

At the moment, TVXQ cannot have events in Korea, but they are going to hold a concert in China, which upset the fans, especially with the cancellation of the concert that was scheduled on the 9th of August with unacceptable reason. Fans had submitted a request of compensation to the Korean Consumer Agency, for SM Entertainment to compensate 10% of the cost of sold tickets.

However, it’s the first time that concert was canceled due to a lawsuit issue, therefore, the Korea Consumer Agency has to make a decision with caution.

Mr. Park expressed that “Request for compensation is possible” and this, by any chance, might result in (SM Entertainment who violates the law) into difficulties. Lastly, he said, “I hope that TVXQ can hold their concerts in Korea in the near future, and meet their fans.”
