OKAY,I'M CURRENTLY SO ANGRY ABOUT LEE SOO MAN.
For your information LeeSooMan is sort of the CEO
in SM entertainment which cultivates alot of
famous artistes like DBSK,SUPERJUNIOR,GIRLS GENERATION
,SHINEE AND BLAH BLAH BLAH!
But what's the use man?
I really pity those artistes.

Okay DBSK filed a lawsuit to SM i also very
lazy to type out lah cause too complicated already.
But only 3 of the members involved in this lah.
Now i'm going to tell you why i'm so damn
angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still got alot lah if wanna know more go
www.allkpop.com :D

1. TVXQ has received $0 from their album sales till July 2008, and a very small amount after.

Before the fifth modification that the company made with their contract, it stated that the profit from albums and singles with sales less than 500,000 copies would go 100% to SM Entertainment, which left the members with nothing. There has been no Korean album that have exceeded 500,000 album sales between the time of TVXQ's debut and their 4th album Mirotic, which was the first album in Korea to sell over 500,000 albums for a long time.

On July 1 2008, the company changed the contract so each member would get 1% from album sales that exceeded 200,000 copies. For albums that are below that number, they are paid 0.6% to nothing. Through these terms, TVXQ has not earned a single cent since February 2009.


2. TVXQ has received $0 from sales of concert DVD's and albums with recordings from concerts.

The contract stated that the members are not entitled to get any profit from concert DVD's and "live" albums.


3. TVXQ received $0 from their appearances in TV programs.

In the contract, the members do not have a right to receive the shares made from appearances on television programs if they are featured in only one episode or if their appearance is temporary. SM has kept all the profit from TV shows where TVXQ were guests.


4. For other ways of getting profit, SM subtracts the total amount with all the expenses that the company has paid for them, including clothing, salary of company staff, stage preparation, rent, food expenses, and etc., which only leaves a fraction for the members of TVXQ.

As for all other sources of income, the contract says that the members do not get the full "net income", but only get a percentage of it. The contract states that the "net income" is the profit remaining after deducting their operating costs, which is the money that the company spends on them. The operating costs include expenses that are to be covered by the employer, such as salaries of the staff (manager, clothing coordinators, makeup artists, dance coordinators, back dancers, etc.), performance stages, living expenses which include water and electricity bills, travel expenses which include plane tickets, and meal expenses. The company might add something in addition to deduct more from the net income.

Now you know why i'm damn angry le hor?!
DBSK leh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The stars of Asia leh work so hard but in
the end earn so little money?!
Stupid SM!He's a moneyeater!
And where got like that sia profit from album sales
less than 500,000 copies would go to SM ent?!
DBSK'S 4th album Mirotic is Korea's FIRST
album to sell over 500,000 copies.
So you know how hard it is to sell more than 500,000
copies liao hor.

Even my butt also knows that in the end all the
money will still got to SM's pocket.
I bet SNSD,SHINee,Super Junior and other
artistes in SM also like that de loh!
Although the training very good and all but
work so hard still so little money?!
I very ke lian them lehs i think other
entertainments better loh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(This article quite long liaos but i still wanna post LOLS.)
