DBSK's 3 members Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu have filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment.
So far we can only find UNOFFICIAL statements about the DBSK lawsuit.
First off, let's begin with some basic stats:
1. From the beginning of their career, DBSK has had a 13 YEAR "slave contract" with SM Entertainment
2. DBSK has only recieved a 0.5% increase in salary since the past 5 YEARS despite their success with Korea AND Japan, and their huge fanbase (ONLY 0.5%!)
3. SM takes 30% - 70% of the profits DBSK makes, including concert sales, album sales, etc. etc.
4. DBSK splits the 10% to 30% among the 5 members
Also, facts straight from the lawyer (of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu):
* The three members and the lawyer have been in contact discussing this issue for over 2 months now.
* They tried to negotiate a deal with SM Entertainment to resolve this issue in the best way possible but they could not reach an agreement.
* Therefore, they were forced to request a provisional disposition on the 31st against SM Entertainment to have them released from their contracts.
* The main reasons for them wanting to be released from their contracts include the fact that their contracts were basically like slave contracts.
* Their contracts were for 13 years.* Their earnings are split 8:2 or 9:1 (with the smaller numbers being the five members and the larger numbers being SM Entertainment. For comparison, JYP Entertainment splits 5:5 with their groups even the new ones.).
*Other reasons being mentioned, though not by the lawyer, include the members being overworked and SM Entertainment not being happy with the make up business the three started with their parents.
* If SM Entertainment does not release them from their contracts, they are prepared to file a lawsuit and go to trial.
* An official statement regarding this issue will be released by the three members soon.
