Lee Wan leaves Swallow the Sun production temporarily

The filming of SBS Swallow the Sun has suffered another setback after Lee Wan developed an adverse skin reaction recently, forcing him to return to Seoul to seek treatment. This is the second setback for the production after it was shut down earlier this month for the H1N1 virus.

According to staff on the set, Lee Wan's face condition has detoriated badly after being constantly exposed to the strong winds at Jeju Island during outdoor filming. It is so serious that even make-up can no longer conceal the imperfections. In addition, the effect would simply get amplified on HD television which shows no mercy. With that in mind, the production has to send Lee Wan back to Seoul for treatment since he plays an important role in the drama.



To ensure that the filming schedule is not disrupted, only scenes involving Lee Wan will be put on hold. They will await his return to Jeju Island once he's recovered sufficiently...
Lee Wan Fighting!For those who don't know, Lee Wan is the younger brother of Kim Tae Hee, CF Queen...Well, I hope Lee Wan will recover soon...

SMTOWN Live 09 is postponed

We reported earlier that the annual SM Entertainment extravaganza, SMTOWN Live 09 will be kicking off on 16th August. Well, it ain't going to happen now.

SM Entertainment announced on the 7th, "With the lawsuit filed by the 3 DBSK members, we are unable to go ahead with the planned concert. We have no alternative but to postpone it indefinitely." Sounds like SM Entertainment is trying to shift all the blame towards the DBSK trio who filed the lawsuit. Kind of sneaky.



The annual SMTOWN Live concerts have always been a show of strength and unity from everyone under SM Entertainment. But judging from the present situation, it just ain't happening. SM Entertainment added, "Tickets were sold out immediately after it was out on sale and we thank everyone for their support. We even specially allocated family and handicapped seats for those who had wanted to enjoy the concert with their friends and family. We are sorry for bringing this unfortunate news to everyone. We will try to present a better SMTOWN Live in future for our supporters."

Refunds can be processed through GMarket ticketing website or calling 1566-5702.

TVXQ/DBSK Issues

Round 1: TVXQ vs SM Entertainment. TVXQ is really breaking up?

Remember last month about the "supposed false rumor" that TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki was breaking up? Well, it seems that information may have actually been true. According to this source, it states that on July 31st, 3 TVXQ Members, specifically Micky Yoochun, Jaejoong, and Xiah Junsu filed an injunction against SM Entertainment in the Seoul Central District Court to remove the "non exclusivity clause" in their contract.

Yunho and Changmin have decided not to file an injunction. Basically in a nutshell, the three of them supposedly had meetings with a Chinese cosmetic company and launched a new cosmetic line called CreBeau. They invested some of their own money and also in turn received some lucrative gifts from the Chinese company as an incentive package for signing up and investing. Some of the rumored gifts includes Micky's Audi R8 and the townhouse for Xiah's parents.



SM Entertainment supposedly got wind of this news and because SM Entertainment has the "exclusivity clause" in their contract, SM Entertainment tried to prevent this from happening. Unhappy with this, and already unhappy that they feel they're being underpaid profit-wise from album sales, you can understand why they're trying to terminate the "exclusivity clause" in their contracts. There's also rumors that if a favorable agreement isn't met, the three will be leaving the group for good.

SM Entertainment via phone to one of the Korean news media outlets stated that they are aware of the situation, the board of directors is having an emergency meeting and are discussing what to do. They'll have an official statement soon.



Wow, this is crazy. I wonder how this will effect their arrangements with AVEX in Japan? This isn't new for SM Entertainment as they had their problems with H.O.T. in the past. I just hope that this doesn't result in an actual disbandment and that everyone can come to peace, for themselves and most importantly their fans. TVXQ is a very talented group and they shouldn't break up, they have a great thing going.

Update:
Update from the lawyers representing Micky, Jaejoong, and Xiah: The three and the lawyers have been discussing this for over 2 months. They tried to settle this with SM Entertainment through negotiations behind closed doors, but they broke down therefore the injunction. The contracts are for 13 years and the profit splits are 80% to SM Entertainment and 20% to TVXQ (divided by 5 for each member). The three are prepared to go to court and file a lawsuit if the exclusivity clause isn't dropped. Sources: Source 1, Source 2, Source 3
