The fact that U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin do not follow their 3 members to apply injunction application against SM Entertainment to suspend the exclusive contract effect has been drawing a lot of attention. This is concerning the fact that usual popular group has term of record sale gain distribution averagely 4~5% per member which means if there’s an disadvantageous policy in the contract, that will affect relatively the entire group. Results confirm that the two members did not participate in court because they have different perspective look of the distributing profits issue with remaining three members. In addition, the parent of these two also seem to be 100% satisfied with SM terms and conditions since after Choikang Changmin and Yunho debuted in a very young age, they already earned nearly 1.5 billion revenue over five years and that’s more than enough. When the 3 members Junsu, Jaejoong, and Yoochun went to the agency for the first time in last June, the parents of Changmin and Yunho were in agreement to coordinate for the legal disputes. However, at that moment the two members parents concerned that this case would led to the destroy of TVXQ image as “Asia Star”, therefore they stood aback. Another reason being said about Yunho and Changmin to take different position is because they care more to their parents’ financial problems and a perspective that their future potential growth will be safer under SM. “Changmin and Yunho become Asia top stars because SM recognized them out of many people at the first place and also SM efforts in developing them is one of the big factor, non arguably. They made their desicion considering long term activities as main priority.” Meanwhile, the absence of Changmin and Yunho in the case has risen some radical criticism from some fans, "Changmin and Yunho are absent from the case, it’s like a betrayal to Junsu, Jaejoong, and Yoochun.” Yet, until now, there’s no report that states Changmin and Yunho will likely follow the step of the rest three members. The close associates of the two members said, “Their separated position is chosen by the members themselves, but it’s been misinterpretation that there’s fight among the members. Please try to understand more in Changmin and Yunho’s perspective.” In addition, the silence act held by TVXQ’s agency in Japan, AVEX through this case also has been being questioned by many parties. Not only SM who refused to show the exact amount of TVXQ’s income, but the Japan agency seems to act the same. It’s noted that from all these times, TVXQ members have been working diligently to serve both parties without even knowing what kind of contract they are under.

The Preservation of Evidence Request refers to, “Any account books, contracts, receipts, transfer slips or any other documents that will aid in calculating the exact income and expenditure of the requester,” and this was done to calculate the exact amount of money TVXQ earns. There is more controversey to come as a statement was released that the members of TVXQ, till now, have never received information about the contents of their Japanese contract. In 2005, TVXQ signed a contract with Avex Entertainment, one of the largest agencies in Japan, through SM Entertainment and have been working with both entertainment agencies ever since. However, till now, the members of TVXQ have no idea what kind of contract the two agencies formed, and how their income is being divided in Japan. A representative of the law firm that is helping the three members had a phone conversation with this reporter and stated, “Ever since TVXQ started their activities in Japan, they have never been given any information about how their income is divided or what their contract consists of.” He also said, “We have tried numerous times to tell the agencies that what they are doing is unlawful and tried to convince them to show TVXQ the contract, but both agencies have been ignoring us,” and “The members have been diligently working for this company without even knowing exactly what kind of contract they are under.” The Sejong law firm lawyer who is in charge of this lawsuit informed reporters in an interview of the problems regarding unfair division of income and complete honesty with the members and also stated that “We have not discarded the notion of filing for compensation later on.” Avex Entertainment, who is in charge of all of TVXQ’s Japanese activities, wrote on their ofiicial website on August 1st and stated that TVXQ will continue on with their activities regardless of the current lawsuit.
