The court ruling in the JYJ vs. SM Entertainment case was supposed to be announced on July 19th. However, the ruling has been been delayed and will be revealed on August 10th.
JYJ members Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu were part of the original 5-member TVXQ group. In 2009, the three filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment claiming their contract was unfair, contract terms had been changed without their consent and that they weren't paid a proper share of the profits the group had earned. An injunction allowed them temporary freedom from their contract with SM Entertainment.
SM Entertainment counter sued the three members, claiming the contract was fair and demanding damages the controversy had caused the company. The case was dismissed by the courts.
If JYJ wins their case, SM Entertainment, who hasn't acknowledged the trio as a legitimate group and has tried to block their progress, would be ordered to officially release them from their contract.

This NEEDS to END!!
wow >.> not surprised at all.
Not surprised. When will this end? -__-;;
delaying tactics eh???
What about the other two..?
Not surprised. It's always getting delayed. Watch it get delayed again. Sick of this. Fuck SM.
i think JYJ should win. SM has had many contract problems. and i dont think this issue has caused many other issues in the company since they r still releasing artists.
well i hope that jyj gets their money! its not hard to believe that they were underpaid
This is so complicating....
who knows whats really going on, but i would like to see the 5 members together.
They have no reason to regroup, but I wish they would become friends again.
they were paid very fair and people who say otherwise doesnt know anything
never back stab your bros and never bite the hands that fed you
Where exactly does it state that? Because I've never seen anything contradict the popular belief that they were underpaid and mistreated.
how were they underpaid and mistreated?
are those the same popular believers who really thouhgt group KARA only got paid $300 in 2010? lol
i dont know if they were underpaid maybe they have because 'underpaid' is very vague especially in the courts but they were making enough money when i see them own multi million dollar homes and 4 to 5 $100,000+ cars
maybe there is someting i dont know about that you can tell me i can only go by what i see and read in Korean news
i know fans aka pooular believers wants to see them as a victim but i dont see it that way thats all
ok Paul I love you but I gotta disagree with you on this one! aish
I think it goes without saying that if the company can take advantage of someone that 9 times out of 10 they will do it. welcome to the world. I don't think we really have any hard evidence as fans to prove the situation in either side's favor, but I bet you that no matter how large the sum is that JYJ makes, their company wants them to have as little of it as they can get away with. so yes, I'm sure they're all well off, but they made the money, so they want their proper share.
S M H at you......
.....at me? lol gurl I don't need yo sass~
Let's just hope everything works out
what?? they didnt get paid their share and contract was changed?? BS
I understand SM. they've spent money and time to train JYJ and make them look handsome and sing well. they will have those talents for ever (^^) but they won't bring money to sm for ever so they want to leech off them as much money as possible. but again it's wrong to make slave contracts and sign them without JYJ's presence.
I hope JYJ wins the case. who cares about that SM shiz and their greed. muahahahahhh
(and i also hope TVXQ can reunite someday again, since TVXQ was never the same since those 3 left)
