Once again, JYJ has been compensated for the unfair reality by the court’s decision. The news that SM’s injunctions against JYJ have been dismissed can only delight and be welcomed by the people who love JYJ. More importantly, it was probably a decision which provided comfort and consolidation to members of JYJ themselves.
It’s an unfortunate truth that the past months have been a time full of hardships and adversity for JYJ, and the failure to ease the confrontation between JYJ and SM ENT has only brought them pity. Not many listened when JYJ tried to express their justifications for their actions. The broadcasting companies, controlled by powerful management companies, continued to prevent their appearances on national television and were beyond deplorable in their handling of JYJ’s unfortunate current situation.
The only brief appearance made was through Park Yuchun’s role in <SGK Scandal>. The drama was excellent and with his acting skills reaching beyond many people’s expectations, the viewers and the public longed to see more. However, his only appearance was just that drama. JYJ continued to be unable to appear on national broadcasts. They did appear just once in an award ceremony, but even that was for Park’s acting award, not musical performance.
Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong, and Park Yuchun are men with promising futures. Although being unable to carry on their activities as singers is most definitely detrimental to their bright futures, we have been unable to see them on national television. We can find the reason behind this through the influence of powerful, “unseen” forces and their reactions to the law.
JYJ wanted to give their straight and honest opinion about the “unseen force,” but found themselves blocked by obstacles every time they did so. It was probably very difficult for them to fight after escaping from the “great strength’s” sphere. Instead of trying to satisfy their greed, JYJ separated themselves and went to a group which would allow them to re-claim their rights as human beings.
The “great strength’s” sphere is so big and powerful that it often enjoys showing off its strength. Such power conspires with others like it to step on factions who claim even the smallest rights. In this current case, the issue was JYJ wishing to leave the large company SM and their will to find compensation for all the sorrowful years they’ve been forced to endure.
The courts have sided with JYJ’s demands because there is credibility with what they are asking. However, knowing that if they were to let this pass more similar events may occur, the large management companies decided to foolishly refuse to allow JYJ go free and instead are walking towards their own destruction by endlessly opposing the courts’ strict rulings. Amongst this, the national broadcasting stations are trying to read the situation and to not get sucked into the fighting.
However, the situation has now changed. Broadcasting stations, who have simply been reading the situation, should now be done. The dismissal of SM’s injunctions showed that JYJ’s case is completely legal.
If we think well about them, the broadcasting companies’ position were that of a bystander. However, they no longer have a reason to deny JYJ from appearing on their broadcasts. The fact that JYJ can’t appear on national television is an almost comical pity in the current time period. Now, with many deciding that it is time to end such an era, the broadcasting companies must quickly arrive at their decision . They must side with JYJ because the laws now protect their claim of independence from SM.
With the current ruling, the national broadcasting stations should no longer have reasons to reject JYJ. The courts have accepted the illegality of SM’s contract with JYJ, and have even allowed them to reclaim their decision-making power. The courts have sided with JYJ’s claim of being bound by an illegal contract which did not allow them to express independent ideas, and, at the very least, this provides the reason on why they should be allowed to freely perform on all stages.
Even if JYJ received investments while being a part of DBSK, the courts’ ruling that excessively binding contracts cannot be justified should provide an important chance to protect rights of other weak idol stars. JYJ, at the very least, have contributed greatly to their company’s profits while working under their name.
SM has done enough damage to JYJ despite their past contributions to the company. You cannot find any sort of justification for further victimizing the victim who left because he could endure no more. Now the only decision left is those that need to be made by the national broadcasting stations. Even if they were simply the bystanders of this situation, they should no longer stand in the way of JYJ appearing on stages for national audiences. I hope for the broadcasting companies’ courageous decision to cast JYJ for their programs. As a person living in this era, I wish for the victory of justice and righteous choices.
