Thanks to the inaccurate(read: fucked up and irresponsible) reporting of a certain newspaper, several friends who don't care about K-Pop but were concerned enough, sent me texts about DBSK disbanding, I replied incoherently to most because it got a bit confusing and tiring after the while so I'll just say it all here? Thanks for your concern, DBSK is Not going to disband i.e I will not have a mental breakdown. (FOR THOSE WHO THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY...I have nothing to say)
The stuff they printed is completely off. The three of them aren't suing to terminate the contract, they are merely suing to suspend the exclusivity clause as well as revise the unfair terms in their contract.
The more I read about it the more angry I get, I thought SM was ridiculous, but this is simply going to far. Did you know that theres a clause in their contract that states that ONLY IF DBSK sells more than 500 000 copies, they will receive 1/10000 of the sales. According the a credible news source, this amount is 10 million won which is roughly 12 000 SGD, I rounded up mind you. If DBSK sells below 500 000copies per album, they get NOTHING.
For those who have argued that the boys are only in it for the money, I doubt this is the case,(disregarding that they DO deserve the money, they work extremely hard for it) the main thing that kept being raised was that the boys are treated unfairly and like commodities instead of human beings. It's somewhat of an open secret that SM treats the boys like their cash cow, not caring about their health(3-4 hours sleep per night, 10[I read this somewhere, but don't take my word for it] days off per year, restricting their food intake, and not mentioning all the completely fucked up physical abuse rumours) but really, enough is enough.
It's clear to anyone that the boys are completely overworked; forced to fly between several countries every few days, being made to perform vigorous concerts on extremely little sleep and many other promotional activities. I really wish SM would give the boys their due respect and treat them like actual human beings who should be paid according to the amount of hard work they've put in and success they've achieved.
In the mean time, I am going to trust the three of them, I believe that they would never do anything to hurt their fans or their groups. I trust them completely, I mean 2 of them have TVXQ seared into their skins and are clearly the one's most fervent about staying together Forever. I know in my heart that DBSK will not disband because its much more than a music group; they're family. (HAHA, I'm so cheesy that I'm being a Yunho)
I'm sorry that the boys feel they have to apologise to their fans for doing this, but at the same time I'm glad that they never ever forget their fans. I'm not going anywhere.
