#Tong Vfang Xien Qi

[a9saga]

I started typing this whole thing on mobile and couldn't figure out how to put a break in and I refuse to update the app. Fuck it. You are scrolling past this whole damn thing. Unfollow me. This is all I'm gonna be talking about for the next two weeks.

Exo needs to break up. They have needed to break up. That was my hot take I had been saying I'd eventually share but I never got around to it, and now it's a lot more apparent. Not that I thought this was going to happen. I thought that when I finally posted this, someone might be mad about it, but in wake of CBX's lawsuit I don't think anyone's going to be surprised to hear it.

I was sure exo members were done suing SM entertainment a long time ago. It's been 9 years since Kris and Luhan filed their lawsuits, both of whom won. It's been 8 years since Tao's hiatus, and almost 8 since he filed his lawsuit months later, which he ended up losing despite never rejoining exo. I became a fan of exo during Call Me Baby promotions when Tao was still dancing with a broken leg. I was 15 at the time, about to turn 16. EXO scandals were extremely fresh and ongoing. But those three are so far in the past now. Lay quietly decided not to renew recently, but he hadn't been able to appear with the group for 5 years so, yeah. No surprise. But I really thought it was all done when EXO-M was done for.

Well, I can tell you why I'd been thinking for a while EXO should break up. It's because they're really a thing of the past, and essentially after Love Shot, it felt like there was nowhere to go from there.

That felt like the last breath of their 5 year long prime. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome. EXO have hit after hit after hit, think of the absolute best most addictive song by your favorite pop artist, and EXO have a discography of mostly those. But they haven't grown and changed artistically or commercially as a group. They've been around 11 years, they're in their 30s now, and I don't even think most of them have the heart to revitalize their prime like Super Junior did after their military hiatus was over. Maybe a couple of them have it in them to do the pop star thing for their entire careers, but I didn't think that like, Sehun or Chanyeol were necessarily passionate about creating new music for the rest of their career. Chen has a family now and that's also something I'd like the rest of exo to afford without their huge commercial group getting in the way of that. The only one I felt for sure would not be done anytime soon was Baekhyun. I thought he'd be the new Kangta of the group, sticking around when EXO were dormant and fizzled out. I never thought SM would actually let them break up, like H.O.T did when I was a baby. But yeah, Baekhyun leaving shocks me the most. Not that I blame him. I do fully believe the allegations made in the lawsuit as SM have had such a shady reputation.

Looking at SM's pre-EXO boy groups, one might say EXO were the main successor to Super Junior, because, obviously, both groups debuted with 12 people. Large groups like that weren't really a thing in kpop before Super Junior debuted. Additionally, Han Geng of Suju was one of the first Chinese kpop idols. In 2008, two more Chinese members were added to the sub unit Super Junior-M, which released Mandarin versions of pre-existing and original Korean Super Junior songs. Hm, this sounds familiar. I only just built up a better case for the EXO/SJ argument. Diana and I talk about this sometimes though; I once made an argument that I think EXO was more a successor to TVXQ/DBSK (Tong Vfang Xien Qi/Dong Bang Shin Ki), which I would have forgotten saying if she never brought up that one time i said it ever again.

In July of 2009, JYJ threw the first brick at SM Entertainment I mean TVXQ's members Kim "Hero" Jaejoong, Park "Micky" Yoochun and Kim "Xiah" Junsu filed a lawsuit against SM for contract termination, claiming they had been coerced into slave contracts as minors. They were 22-23 at the time, TVXQ having debuted on December 26th, 2003. The three of them won the lawsuit, signed to C-Jes Entertainment and formed the new group, JYJ, of just the three of them. It was assumed the original five piece was dead by that point, but surprisingly, in 2010, Jung "U-Know" Yunho and Shim "Max" Changmin chose to stay at SM and continue TVXQ as a duo.

This whole thing is arguably the most significant scandal in the 30-year history of SM. TVXQ had been SM's biggest success to date and some argue they and Boa still are. Your faves wouldn't have cracked Japan without the efforts of those two, and if kpop didn't reach Japan in the early 2000s, the entertainment industry in a small East Asian country wouldn't have become huge across the entire planet---and frankly, if TVXQ hadn't been big internationally, they'd have been done for because SM had them blacklisted from Korean television for a decade.

Han Geng of Super Junior actually did file for contract termination shortly after JYJ did, also for mistreatment. As did Luhan, Tao and Kris as we've already acknowledged. But all four of them could move to the entertainment industry in China. Sure, you're always going to lose something by leaving as big a group as EXO, Super Junior or TVXQ, but SM hasn't been sued by its Korean idols since JYJ. Baekhyun, Xiumin and Chen know that they're putting at least as much on the line. And now, like TVXQ, more than half of EXO are no longer in the group, and the majority of the run for the both of them has had this cloud of mistreatment over their reputations. They were also both so unstoppably huge and popular.

I was in elementary school for DB5K's prime, and there were fans of kpop in the west but I can't tell you what their success across Asia looked like as someone who wasn't there. But I can tell you, between 2015-2016 when kpop gradually started to become very big, EXO for a time were bringing in more people to kpop than A Particularly Famous Group in the West I Have No Interest in Naming Because I Don't Want Their Fucking Fans Derailing My Post With Unrelated Discourse While I'm Not Even Talking About Them. Just believe me there was a time when EXO were way more popular in the west than Said Band I Decline to Specify, the eclipse that happened was gradual, and to my understanding EXO continued to be the biggest thing in Asia despite that another one eventually cracked America more and I'm not denying that they did. Point is, EXO coming first was important to all of that, because I and several others wouldnt have heard of the one kpop group if EXO didnt get us all into kpop first from 2013-15/16.

That all said now, this was all very much not how I'd wanted EXO to actually end. This is crashing and burning. Much like TVXQ, EXO is not going to be able to have a reunion after this, because they'll never receive SM's blessing to work together. I mean, EXO-M never would. 12 member EXO hardly lasted for two years though and their prime was very new when people started leaving, so to be honest, I don't know if the kids getting into EXO in the 2020s would really care to see Luhan, Tao, and Someone Sitting In Prison Whose Name I've Uttered More Than I'd Like To.

But in a similar vain, while DB5K originally split into two, JYJ are all off in different directions now. Yoochun was fired. Junsu left C-Jes and made his own label. Jaejoong did the same recently. Could you tell I listen TVXQ? But yeah, now that there are more than 3-4 people departed from EXO, they've got former members going in a lot of different directions. Someone already said it but I hope Xiumin follows Luhan back now. Back in my day Xiuhan were so cute.

Also, since I managed not to slip this into the post anywhere.... these guys have been showing up to work. Every damn day they've been showing up to work, that's another reason why it's so shocking. Chen dropped a song days ago and Baekhyun has been doing shows, posting dance practices, EXO have been appearing together for their 11th anniversary and supposed upcoming comeback. Whaaat a slap in the face. I support CBX 100% though and you should too.

#in this essay i will reveal i know too much about the history of sm ent #also i didnt state this but i think nct were more sj's successor than exo was #the premise of nct was a group w 40 members which as a concept breaks industry norms like sj did #but similarly while suju was meant to be a rotation group of members coming and going that failed #and so did nct's 40 members bc its own fans eventually boycotted the adding of more members which sj did too #thats my last hot take of the post i promise #sorry for the lack of a read more break but i didnt study kpop boy bands as a teen for my work to be overlooked at a time like this #exo #sm #chen #baekhyun #xiumin #kim jongdae #byun baekhyun #kim minseok #exo cbx #shut up kaily #ps i dont want exo to promote as 5 it would suck

TODAY IS YUNHO'S BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday baby!

Jung Yunho

Han Mira (oc)

The sleeping beauty on the couch was laying on her back, he hair spread on the arm rest of the couch. The remote that once in her hand is now fall on the carpet, the TV is still on, showing a cooking show where the presenter is showing how to make a cream cheese. The soup on the pot is already boils, its lid is shaking, but she is too deep in her sleep to notice that.

Someone opened the door, then walked inside, "Mira?" He calls her name, but there were no answer, he looked around and she was nowhere to be found, he could hear a boiling something, then walked into the kitchen. "Mira, where are you?"

Still, he got no answer, then he passed the couch and found her sleeping on the couch, he can tell that she just showered because her hair is half damp. He kissed her forehead "I'm home"

He turned off the TV and walked into the kitchen to turn off the stove. He open the lids and taste the soup. All of her cooking is always delicious, he wondered how she managed to do that.

He set the table and doing the dishes, after that he took a shower and found that you are still sleeping peacefully. He scooped her up and take her to the bedroom, he wants her to eat, but it seems like she's too tired, he decided to do the work now and wake her up later so the two of them could eat together. Halfway to the bedroom, she slowly wakes up, her lids fluttered open.

"Oh hi" she smile even when she still struggled to keep her eyes open. "Good evening there, how was your sleep?"

"Pleasant"

"Oh! I was cooking" she was struggled to get down, but he doesn't let it, " I already take care of that"

"Oh, thank you. You just got home, don't you? I have to prepare hot water then"

"I already take a bath" he said while still has her in his arms. "I have to wash the dishes"

"I washed it just now"

"Oh, the I guess I don't have reasons to make you put me down" She holds his small face on her hands, while looking into his eyes. "Aren't your arms sore?"

"No, you aren't heavy"

"Sweet talker" she hits his chest slowly, he kisses her cheek. Yunho swayed her from side to side just like a baby "When will you put me down?"

"When you want to"

"I want to, I'm hungry" He put her on her feet, she stands in front of him, her hair is a little messy with tangled that forms her straight hair to look like they're curly. Her lilac nightgown reached her calf, and she's barefoot. What a lovely sight to see.

He hugs her petite form, put his head on top of hers and kissed her hair. "I'm still sleepy"

"I know" he breaks the hug and hold her hand, kissed her wrist and palm "let's eat first, so you can sleep after that"

Then the two of them eats while talking about their day.

[NEWS] 210708 Fans celebrate Kim Jaejoong's return to Korean music shows after 10 years

"We've come so far": Fans react as JYJ's Kim Jaejoong makes his first Korean music show appearance after 10 years of being blacklisted

Kim Jaejoong of the K-POP boy band JYJ is making his much-awaited return to the Korean music TV show scene after 10 years of being blacklisted.

The 35-year-old was a part of the SM Entertainment K-POP band TVXQ (meaning Tong Vfang Xien Qi or Rising Gods of the East). Debuted in 2003, they were a 5-member boy band finding almost immediate success in the Korean music industry.

However, after a huge legal battle in 2009, the group eventually split into two, inadvertently blacklisting the JYJ members, who make up three members of the original five in TVXQ.

Post the legal mess and the wait to see their idol on TV, fans are without a doubt ecstatic to see Kim Jaejoong's return to screens.

📌All about Kim Jaejoong's past; JYJ vs SM Entertainment:

Back in 2009, after six years in the industry, conflict rose within TVXQ and their management, SM Entertainment. Members Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu attempted to break off their 13-year contract with the label, arguing that it was extremely long, profits were not split fairly, and that they were being overworked. Shim Changmin and Jung Yunho, the other two TVXQ members, stood with the company.

The group performed together as five for the last time in Japan at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen music program on the December 31st, 2009. https://youtu.be/EASK_cNWyIg

Eventually, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu were able to terminate their contract, leaving SM and TVXQ to create their own K-POP group, JYJ (one letter in the name for each of them).

C-Jes Entertainment was formed in order to manage the group according to their needs and expectations and continues to recruit other artists as well. Changmin and Yunho remain operating under SM Entertainment as a duo, with the name TVXQ.

However, the battle did not end there for them. Due to SM's influence as one of the biggest labels in the industry, the trio was silently blacklisted from making TV appearances and was unable to circumvent it at the time.

Kim Junsu tearfully spoke about it at this comeback concert held after he completed his mandatory 2-year military enlistment:

“At the very least, when I have an album out, even if it is just once or twice, I’d like to sing my song on TV. That’s all I want, but it’s so hard."

With a net worth estimated to be around $60 million, it's a testament to how Kim Jaejoong has managed to further his career despite being blacklisted from a huge part of the industry.

Twitter goes wild over news of Kim Jaejoong's return to music TV shows

After around 10 years of not being able to see Jaejoong on screen, fans were happy when a surprise TV show teaser popped up on their feed. Kim Jaejoong of JYJ was set to make his appearance on TV Chosun's "Romantic Call Center," a show where singers compete with each other through performing impromptu song requests. Fans wasted no time in celebrating.

Kim Jaejoong's much-awaited return will be made on next week's episode of Romantic Call Center on July 15th, 2021, at 3:30 PM (IST) on TV Chosun.
