SHINee to perform at Abbey Road Studios in London to celebrate their Japanese debut

Popular South Korean group SHINee is scheduled to make their major debut in Japan in on June 22nd with their single “Replay” and what is a better way to celebrate this achievement than performing at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London?

That’s exactly what their record label and owner of the studio, EMI Musicthought and thus they invited the group to perform at the studios that once inspired legends such as The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

At first it might sound awkward to perform in London to celebrate your Japanese debut, but things become more clear once you understand thatJapanese fans actually get the chance to win a ticket for that special performance, and SHINee already has a lot of Japanese fans. Back in December the group held two performances in Tokyo and mobilized a total of 24,000 fans, but more than 100,000 people actually tried to get their hands on the tickets.



Experiencing a performance of SHINee at the Abbey Road Studios is special because they will not only be the very first Asian artists to perform at the studios, it is also a much more intimate atmosphere with the biggest room only giving space to a total of 130 people.

Fans who want to be among those 130 people will have to keep an eye out for special projects on the mobile download sites Recochoku and MOBAEMI starting on April 28th. Not much details are known at the moment and so far this seems to be the only way to get an invitation for the special performance.

The group made a statement about the upcoming performance, “Since it is such a famous studio, we’re really going to anticipate the performance. I hope you will look forward to it as well, because no matter where we are, we will always work hard in order to give back your support through great songs and great performances in typical SHINee fashion.”

EMI also plans to film the performance and distribute the resulting DVD in many countries, not just Japan.

Rumor Control: Learn more about the TVXQ5′s member “rotation”

Please don’t fall for yet another rumor that some people are using to manipulate international fans: If you were told that either JJ, YC or CM was about to get “rotated” out of the group before or after TVXQ’s debut, if you were told that YH “cried and begged” SM so that JJ would be able to stay in the group, please read below to learn more about the “rotation”.

1) It was stated in January 2011’s court hearing by SM’s employee Kang, Jung Ah that SM was planning to take YH out of TVXQ before TVXQ’s debut. It was NOT JJ, YC or CM. Kang, Jung Ah also added that JS and JJ protested against this and hence YH debuted as a member of TVXQ.

2) There’s this one picture of 4 TVXQ members (everyone but JJ) and 1 SM trainee that has been floating around on the internet. This picture has caused fans to assume that it was JJ who was going to be rotated out of TVXQ.

However, this picture was taken out of “東方神起! Special Photo Essay TVfXQ! 3rd Storybook in Los Angeles” that SM published in 2004. Here’s the scanned pictures from that storybook (Click on the picture to Zoom):

Please take your time and check out ALL the pictures. You’ll see that there are various combinations of all five members and SM trainees. It was not just JJ who was missing from some pictures and replaced by SM trainees. So why was JJ singled out and targeted as the one who would be rotated out?

A fan saw TVXQ at the airport and posted a fan account that she saw JJ looking very down. That fan account was distorted and it spread over the internet that JJ was very depressed b/c he knew he was going to be kicked out of the team soon.

So it was just this 1 picture taken out of the whole photo book, combined with that one fan account, which generated the rumor that JJ was supposed to be kicked out of TVXQ. This rumor died down eventually. Recently it resurfaced thanks to a few people who started spreading it again.

3) CM and YC also became the targets of the same rumor; it was circulated at one point or another that either CM or YC was supposed to be kicked out of the team after TVXQ’s debut. However, these times, there was no story about how YH cried and begged SM to help YC or CM. The rumors disappeared eventually.

4) There is no evidence at all that YH cried and begged SM to let JJ, CM or YC stay in the group.

5) When SME attempted member rotation after TVXQ’s debut, YH’s father contacted a major fansite 2카동 (ikadong) and asked the administrators to upload a document on fans’ alliance’s webpage to stop the rotation. Here’s the link to ikadong’s announcement that mentions that event: galldcinside. There were a lot of fans who stated that YH is the one who was supposed to be rotated out. A lot of fans witnessed how YH’s fansite 그라티아 acted really quickly to stop the rotation. However, this all hearsay and there’s no direct evidence except fans’ statements that YH was supposed to be kicked off the group.

So what does this all mean? It means that:

1) YH almost did not debut as TVXQ but thanks to his team members, he did.

2) There’s NO evidence that JJ, CM or YC was going to be rotated.

3) The picture that some people are using as evidence that JJ was about to get rotated was taken out of context

4) There’s no evidence that YH was going to be rotated out, and there’s no evidence that his plea to SM saved his team member.

So why are some people reviving an old rumor at JJ’s expense to stress that YH helped a team member stay in the team? It appears that they are trying to emphasize that YH is a caring and responsible leader who saved his dear friend from losing his career and chance at stardom. But resorting to an old rumor to prop up Yunho’s reputation at the expense of JJ, how will that really help YH in the end?

Please feel free to RT, translate in other languages and post on your blog if you find this helpful. The second link may be deleted from DC Inside TVXQ Gallery if enough “hotel girls” report it as a problem. In that case, please copy and paste “이카동 공지” in your search engine and you should be able to find the same information posted on other sites.

Kasus TVXQ mirip Kasus HOT

saya menemukan postingan ini di sebuah blog. bagi yang belum tahu, WAJIB baca ini!!! (>_<)

sebelumnya saya ucapkan terima kasih banyak untuk sang blogger pemilik postingan ini (walaupun saya tidak tahu pasti siapa pemilik 'pertama' postingan ini). terima kasih^^

baca dan simak baik-baik ya!

Artikel ini memang sudah lama, diambil dari majalah TIME ASIA 29 juli 2002 . Meskipun begitu, artikel ini setidaknya bisa memperjelas dan sedikit mngetahui tentang kasus yang JYJ saat ini.
Judulnya : Show Me money?? Apakah artis korea dibayar sepadan?

Saat mereka sedang dipuncak popularitas, anggota boy band Korea HOT mulai mencurigai ketenaran emas mereka adalah sampah. Mereka telah menandatangani kontrak dengan rumah produksi SM Entertainment dimana mereka hanya menerima 1 dari royalti tiap penjualan 1 cd sedangkan grup lain menerima 17.

Aritmatika mengungkapkan kebenaran : setiap kali salah satu album mereka mencapai penjualan 1 juta-kopi, masing-masing anggota HOT hanya menerima pembayaran sebesar US $10.000. Coba Bandingkan dengan diva pop Mariah Carey awal tahun ini telah dibayarkan $ 28.000.000 dengan musik label EMI untuk merekam empat album.

Setelah musim semi terakhir, negosiasi ulang mereka pendiri SM Entertainment Lee So Man itu sia2. karena itulah tiga dari lima anggota HOT memisahkan diri dari perusahaan (lalu mereka bertiga membentuk JTL), dimana mereka secara tidak langsung membunuh band tersebut dan menghancurkan jutaan hati penggemar remaja.

Mantan member HOT Tony An mengatakan “Kami akan mengeluh bahwa kami tidak pernah memiliki cukup uang,” , Dan Lee Su Man berkata: ‘ Saya bahkan membayar untuk bensin Anda, apa yang Anda keluhkan‘”

Minggu depannya, Korea Fair Trade Commission diharapkan untuk merilis hasil penyelidikan tiga bulan ini ttg kemungkinan kolusi dgn rumah-rumah produksi terbesar di industri musik, yang diduga praktiknya membatasi persaingan dan menjaga harga CD yang terlalu tinggi. “Kami ingin kompetisi yang bebas dan adil,” kata Lee Dong Kyu, juru bicara dengan badan pengawas pemerintah. “Kami ingin konsumen untuk dapat menikmati musik berkualitas tinggi dengan harga rendah.“

Tapi bagian lain dari komisi memeriksa tuduhan bahwa penyanyi muda yang naif, bersedia membuat kesepakatan kontrak supaya cepat terkenal, hingga mereka terikat dgn “kontrak budak” yang memperkaya manajer mereka. Masalah pertama yg mendapat perhatian pada tahun 1999 ketika tindakan tiga-adik yang disebut Hans Band menggugat perusahaan produksi, Yedang Entertainment, yang mengklaim kontrak itu sangat tidak adil apalagi mrk hanya dibayar $15.000 yang merupakan sebagian kecil dari itu dianggap utang-setelah sukses dua album.

Beberapa laporan mengatakan bintang-bintang populer menerima pembayaran kesejahteraan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan slama trainee. Setelah cocok dan kesepakatan, Yedang setuju untuk memotong dua tahun dari kontrak band menjadi lima tahun.

Industri eksekutif melawan sistem, di mana penyanyi muda mendpatkan training dengan perusahaan produksi sebelum debut. Perusahaan membayar tagihan untuk pelatihan musik dan tari, untuk mobil, kostum, manajer dan biaya lainnya. Produsen memperkirakan biayanya sekitar $ 400.000 untuk meluncurkan idola baru. Sampai pengeluaran tenggelam ke dalam karir pemula telah diamortisasi, produsen enggan untuk memotong mereka bagian yang lebih besar dari kue.

Nama besar Korea dan bakat besar tidak seimbang dengan kesejahteraannya, tentu saja yang menjadi perangkap adalah dari gaya hidup bintang pop yg mewah. Tapi bagi tony ahn ada sebuah kata kebencian nya thdp mantan majikan, SM Entertainment yaitu sakit bahwa dia diperlakukan seperti komoditi daripada sebagai pribadi manusia. Jika Lee telah bersedia untuk mengatasi masalah kontrak mereka, “kami mungkin tidak akan meninggalkan,” Sebuah kata yg sedih. “Ini lebih tentang sentuhan manusia daripada uang.”
