TVXQ Cannot Disband

TVXQ member's Micky Yoochun, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu have filed for a Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional Disposition Request and have had people speculating a disbandment of the group. Right now, however, the opinion that TVXQ should be preserved and not disbanded, voiced by SM, the members and the fans, is gaining a lot of support.


SM stated on August 1st that TVXQ is a representative group of, not only the members or SM, but of Korea and Asia as a whole and they must fulfill that by continuing on with their activities as a group. It could be seen clearly that SM would stop any notion of a disbandment.

They have gone into finding a resolution for this dispute with Lee Sooman returning to Korea as soon as he heard the news. The key to fixing this dispute is how much Lee Sooman is willing to listen to the members and how much he is willing to concede to the members' demands.

He has been noted to be very disappointed with the fact that many are seeing Micky Yoohcun, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu's lawsuit against their agency as a means of breaking away from the agency and disbanding.

When lawyer Lim Sang-hyuk, who is representing the three members in this lawsuit, releases their official statement on the 3rd, the exact details of the lawsuit will be revealed. But as of now, the three members have voiced their opinions that they truly want to stay together as the five members of TVXQ and have never thought of going off as a group of three as rumors have implied.

This means that if conflicts about the cosmetic company and the exclusive contract are resolved through a compromise, there will be no chance of the group disbanding; even a small step will suffice in this.

The three members' willingness to participate in the SM Town Concert on the 16th and the numerous A-Nation performances shows that there are no conflicts amongst the members that are big enough to cause worries or doubts and have significantly slowed down fears circulating about a disbandment.

The efforts of fans who wish to keep TVXQ as it is can be seen everywhere. On Daum Agora, a petition that was created to keep TVXQ as it is has already gained 13,000 signatures in one day. There are even talks of silent protests. However, some fans are saying that too much involvement from the fans may in fact hurt TVXQ's lawsuit and have warned other fans to just wait and watch quietly.

There is a growing concern that too much attention on TVXQ may continue on to create rumors that will make the entire process more complicated than it should be.

There have been rumors that there is a deep rift between Micky Yoochun, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu's side and U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin's side and that the dispute between the three members and their agency ever since last April has become so irreperable that there is no hope for a solution. However, these rumors are only rumors and will only create more misunderstandings between the members and the agency and will only become a hindrance, not a helper.

The K-pop industry has been watching this sitation with concern, and many have stated that they wish this situation will end well and cut the continuous cycle of the disbandment of groups because of disputes between celebrities and their agencies that causes a lot of pain to the fans.

Many Asian fans are watching the situation closely to see if Hallyu group TVXQ, a group that has gathered countless numbers of fans across Korea, Japan, China, Thailand and other Asian countires, will be able to bounce back from the disbandment fears, their first in five years, and shine brighter than ever.
