Uhhh.
Wasn't I sleeping.
But no, just now, I found some harsh comments left on my blog regarding TouJaeTen [Tohoshinki + Jaejoong + Tengoku].
Somehow, after writing that, I felt like it would become a badddd thing.
Right.
That's right.
Their [JaeSuChun] flight schedule….
People were saying that what I did was wrong, because people would be stalking them [from the information I gave out].
I've been thinking this since I posted that up.
No matter how many years I've worked in this industry.
No matter how many years I've written for Johnny's (but Tohoshinki is totally different from Johnny's).
I'm very sorry! [for not knowing that revealing such information would cause troubles to Tohoshinki]
But I've already posted that. [so it's too late to delete it]
Sorry!
I'll run away then
Well, at least the boys won't be eaten up. (Eh, are there people who would eat them up?)

1. First, download a program call KeyHole TV (NOT KeyHole Video): http://www.v2p.jp/video/english/
Around a year ago, there were many other ways to watch Japanese TV online (TVU, etc.), but since then Japanese companies have become much stricter about copyright issues, so for now, the only way that I can know of is through KeyHole TV.
2. KeyHole TV has working versions for both Mac & Windows. And I think the installation is very easy to follow. I've installed this since forever so I don't remember the installation steps though :/
3. After you already install KeyHole, it should look something like this (mine is KeyHole for Mac so Windows' might look slightly different):
4. If you scroll down to the very end, the most important channels (TBS, Fuji TV, NTV, TV Asahi) all concentrate in this area ^^
日テレ = NTV (Best Hits Music Festival, etc.)
TBS (Japan Record Award, Utaban, etc.
テレビ朝日 = TV Asahi (Music Station, etc.)
フジテレビ = Fuji TV (FNS Music Festival, HEY! HEY! HEY!, etc.)
5. To watch a channel, select the channel and click on the WATCH button.
If you accidentally hit something that only the audio comes out, that means you just hit a radio channel lol. Sometimes if the broadcaster is online, you'll also be able to listen to Bigeastion on KeyHole ^^
6. And before that, don't forget to check the time so you won't miss the show ;D

Question&Answer
▲What is the relationship between Crebeau and the three members of TVXQ?
> Crebeau was created over 12 years ago. It has been over ten years since we began using sheep placenta as a main ingredient in the cosmetics. This can be easily verified in our homepage or on our certificate of authentication. We have over 100 stores in Korea alone. We are also a company that has spread to China and Japan. TVXQ's Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun and YoungWoong Jaejoong made only small investments in our company.
▲What kind of company is the Beijing Representation Corporation that sued the three members of TVXQ?
> The Beijing Representation Corporation is the company who is in charge of all the Crebeau stores in the Shanghai region in China. We currently have three chain stores open in Shanghai as of now. We met for the first time at the Company Presentation that was held in China in January of this year and signed a contract together. This company opened these three stores in July and officially began their business. As soon as they opened, complications arose. (President Kang showed Sports Seoul the contract between Crebeau and Beijing Representation Corporation) Beijing Representation Corporation were not adhering to the clauses in the contract and were using TVXQ to advertise their products. They irrationally held advertising events, and when we intercepted their actions, they decided to file the lawsuit.
▲If the three members of TVXQ only hold small investments, why where they sued?
> The three members attended the Investment Presentation we held in Shanghai in January. After listening to the Investment Presentation, the three completed their investments in March/April. The Beijing Representation Corporation interpreted 'The TVXQ Three members have invested' as 'The TVXQ Three members are now ambassador's to Crebeau.' Therefore, the company tried to use TVXQ to advertise products but as soon as we heard of this and intercepted their actions, they retaliated. (Holding the contract)In the contract, not even the 'T' of TVXQ is mentioned. The three members of TVXQ represent SM Entertainment, not Crebeau. The side that violated the contract is in fact Beijing Representation Corporation, not the three members.
▲Do you have proof that Beijing Representation Corporation violated the contract?
> On October 2nd, when the TVXQ Shanghai concert was coming up, they sold cosmetics tied with tickets for the concert. We have even collected evidence of this. They opened a store that did not follow our standards, and illegally sold cosmetics at discounted prices near the concert location. These are all violations of the contract. The main office located in Korea told Beijing Representation Corporation to ask for all of the cosmetics sold along with tickets to be returned so that the company's image would not be tarnished. 70 million Won worth of damages were incurred but the main office compensated for all of these losses.
▲When you say a 'small investment' by the three members of TVXQ. How small is their investment?
> The three members invested less than 100 million Won each in the Chinese branch of our company. Crebeau itself invested more than 3 billion Won for the Chinese expansion. The three members' investments combined are only worth around 300 million Won. It is only around 1/10 of all of the investments. Xiah Junsu's father also showed interest in investing. We gave him the right a chain store outside of Seoul. All the investment money related to TVXQ does not amount to much.
▲How are you planning to deal with Beijing Representation Corporation?
> We are going through the appropriate steps with a lawyer from China. They are at an advantage as this is a case that will be dealt with using the laws of China. That is why Beijing Representation Corporation did not sue the Chinese office of Crebeau either. If there was a problem with the company as a whole, why did they just sue the Korean main office? This is their blind spot. I believe that the truth will always win.
▲SM Entertainment is blaming the cosmetic company for the TVXQ dispute.
> We find it quite absurd that we are being blamed for the dispute between TVXQ and SM Entertainment. Many people were witness to TVXQ's Xiah Junsu receiving permission from SM to invest in the company. All the procedures we had to go through were legally correct and there were no problems. SM Entertainment blamed us only after the dispute occurred between the agency and members of TVXQ. Because of SM, our work has been disrupted and our image has been tarnished.
▲How do you plan on solving the issue regarding SM?
> This is a problem that has nothing to do with the three members of TVXQ. It is a problem between two companies. SM Entertainment used Crebeau as a scapegoat and tarnished our image to put the blame of the TVXQ dispute on us. The Chinese and Japanese plans we have been making have been rattled because of SM's claims. The main office of Crebeau in Korea, as well as our offices in China and Japan are planning to get together and file a large-scale lawsuit against SM. We will receive an appropriate apology for our tarnished image and disrupted work.

Fan Accounts About TVXQ’s Appearance in MAMA
TVXQ’s appearance at the MAMA was surrounded by controversy but even so three members – Youngwoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu made an appearance to greet the fans. According to fans who were there, the boys didn’t have an entourage of stylists, make-up, bodyguards like they normally do.. this time the cassiopeia present did not surround them either, instead they made way for them so that they could leave peacefully and quietly. Here a fan account of a cassiopeia that was present:
(Full Credits to jeeelim5 at Tohosomnia)
she was one of the Cassies who moved out of the way for JaeChunSu as they left.. and she overheard the staff talking.
Staff 1 – “Hey, did you see YoungWoong Jaejoong cry?”
Staff 2 – “Of course I did. I saw him crying silently and it was so sad that I felt so bad for him.”
Staff 1 – “They must be going through hell.. All three of them lost so much weight..”
Staff 2 – “Of course it’s hard for them… Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu were holding back tears..”
Staff 1 – “I feel so bad for them..”
Staff 2 – “Now that I think about it, it’s the first time I’ve seen YoungWoong Jaejoong cry. He used to hold back his tears even when they won the biggest awards. But to see him cry so hard that he didn’t care about what he looked like.. Phew.. I pity them..”
Staff 1 – “They’ll survive this well, they’re young.”
+
As the three were getting off the stage..
The fans started shouting “Miduhyo! Miduhyo!”
and YoungWoong Jaejoong apparently couldn’t hold it back anymore and burst into tears..
A Cassie overheard some of the staff talking
and they said that they had never seen YoungWoong Jaejoong cry so hard before….
He cried so hard that his screwed his face up and just let it out, not caring about what he looked like…
It hurts me to think of them in such pain…..
Also, in the parking lot, someone yelled “I believe in TVXQ!”
and the three stopped their car..
+
Yesterday, the three boys didn’t have bodyguards with them so the reporters were all over them so the Cassies acted as their bodyguards
And when they were leaving on the van that they had borrowed
A Cassie stuck a ‘Miduhyo’ sign on the car window
so the three stopped the car. So they could see it more, so more Cassies could stick these signs on their window.
And when the van was leaving, the Cassies acted as blockades so that the three could leave safely.
Our kind Cassies ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
The unfortunate story behind Mnet and SM Entertainment
Last night’s MAMA, hosted by Mnet, was certainly a feast for numerous Kpop fans out there. However, as enjoyable as it was, the event was (and still is) swamped with layers of controversy, with SM Entertainment’s boycott being the eye of the storm. Mnet and SME appear to be mortal enemies, but many still remember the fact that they used to be very friendly with each other. Exactly what made them become such bitter adversaries? Let’s examine the dispute between Mnet and SME.What exactly is Mnet?
Mnet is a media company owned by CJ Media which focuses on music, media, entertainment and web content business. CJ Media is a part of CJ, a South Korean conglomerate that is one of the top five largest companies in the country. Mnet is involved in pretty much every aspect of the entertainment industry, ranging from album production, distribution, sales, management, television broadcasting, online media and many other businesses. With these expansion, Mnet has become a giant in music industry, with market share of 44% in album sales and over 20% in online music sales.
Mnet and CJ are also shareholders in major entertainment companies DSP Entertainment and YG Entertainment. Although they own no more than 20% of shares from each company, the fact that CJ is a conglomerate means the aforementioned companies are now affiliates of CJ. Smaller entertainment companies with famous names such as Shinwha, Kim Dong Ryul and Wheesung are “affiliates” of CJ as well. Similarly, 30% of JYP Entertainment is held by SK, another conglomerate that is one of top 5 largest companies in Korea, making JYP a faction with as much support as Mnet has.
How has SME and Mnet’s relationship developed over the years?
Before 2008, SME and Mnet were quite friendly. MKMF, now known as MAMA, featured numerous artists from SME which were given many awards. However, during 2008, Mnet proposed to SME that they would like to be the distributor of music produced by SME; in return, Mnet would receive certain percentage of profit from the sales. Mnet had already been distributing music of JYP, DSP and YG, and with the right to distribute SME’s music they would become undisputed leader in the industry. SME refused the offer as they had the ability to distribute their own music and did not feel the need to pay Mnet for a job that they could do themselves. Mnet undoubtedly held a grudge against SME for obstructing their dominance of the industry, and the friendship ended there.
CJ has also attempted hostile takeover of SME but failed. If they had been successful, CJ would have acquired control of Korean entertainment industry. These facts have not been well-publicized, until recent controversy involving SME and MAMA have brought the public’s attention to the relationship between the two parties. With SNSD’s Gee and MAMA, we have now witnessed the nature of their relationship.
How does MAMA play into this tense relationship between SME and Mnet?
One of the biggest controversies brought on by MAMA was the fact that the three members of TVXQ, Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, made their appearance for acceptance of Best Representative of Asia Award. Although some may argue that SME’s outrage was uncalled for, and that the trio is free to do whatever they want, the choice to make an appearance at an Mnet event was deliberate and could not have been a spontaneous, wanton decision.
So what’s the significance behind TVXQ’s appearance?
Many have suspected that the three members were able to act in such bold manner against SME in recent months because they were being supported by an organization more powerful than SME. With their unabashed appearance at MAMA, it now appears that Mnet and CJ might be the ones that have the three members’ back. It is very possible that CJ and Mnet are backing the three members in order to win their fight against SME for dominance in the industry. If that is so, then TVXQ members have become mere pawns in a battle between two corporations.
SME, a company now known for its oppressive, big-corporate attitude towards its artists, is ironically under attack from one of the largest corporations in Korea. Both companies are profit-motivated organizations that are pursuing whatever action that generates more profit, so there is no good or bad in a situation like this. What is unfortunate, however, is that the artists have become the victims in this corporate power struggle. TVXQ, SNSD, and SHINee are all victims in this dispute between SME and CJ/Mnet; MAMA could merely have been the beginning of penance for these artists.

SM “The Three Members Had No Right To Receive The Award As The Representative Of TVXQ” “SM -The three members do not represent TVXQ!
TVXQ’s YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu, who are locked in an exclusive contract lawsuit with their agency, attended the ‘2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards’ at the Seoul, Jamshil Indoor Gymnasium and received the Best Asia Star Award.
To be exact, these three members of TVXQ accepted the award on behalf of all five members who received the award for their activities in countries around Asia.
With regards to this, agency SM Entertainment stated, “The three members of TVXQ had no right to receive the award on behalf of TVXQ.”
They also said, “If Mnet was planning on giving an award to TVXQ, they should have contacted SM Entertainment for a replacement receiver but instead they invited only the three members and gave them the award. This is unacceptable.”
A representative of Mnet stated, “We invited all five members of TVXQ to receive the award. However, two members did not respond, and the three other members came to receive the award,” and “There were no problems with the receiving of the award as the three members even talked of the two members who could not attend in their acceptance speech.”

Xiah Junsu said, “Thank you. It’s been a while. We are thankful to received such a big award. This award was not one we could have received from the efforts of only one member, the best efforts from all five members were needed to receive this award so it is more meaningful to us. We would like to thank all our fans in Asia for this award.”
Micky Yoochun said, “This is the first time I’ve ever had such a big yearning to sing on a stage like this. I was able to get to such a place because I became a singer by meeting great members. Please give us your support. We will become a group who does not fall below your expectations.”
Lastly, YoungWoong Jaejoong said, “We are more happy because it was an award give to us by our fans across Asia. We would like to thank all our domestic and overseas fans who are watching this. I would like to tell two people who might be watching this that I love them.”

"Youngwoong JaeJoong, Xiah Junsu and Micky Yoochun will attend the MAMA's and will be able to greet their fans after being away for a long time."They also added:
"However, we are not sure yet whether the 3 members will perform or just greet the fans on stage as of now."MAMA is being held on November 21st, this coming Saturday. If the reports are true, perhaps we'll be seeing some of our boys this weekend?

TVXQ Members Side’s Response to SM 12th Deadline
The legal representative of 3 TVXQ members Youngwoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu from Sejong firm has stated clearly that they don’t have intention to respond SM proposal and will remain in defense side.
On the 11th through a phone call with Star Money Today, Sejong official said, “The three members don’t have any plan to respond an action regarding to SM’s deadline on the 12th” he determined. “The three members will start their activities regardless their relationship with SM.”
At 63rd building, Seoul on last November 2nd, SM held a press conference and announced their request for 3 members to decide their comeback the latest on November 12th as TVXQ is already planned to start group activities soon next year.
After SM stand became known, 3 members side commented, “According to the provisional disposition verdict paper, TVXQ can do their activities as long as there’s a liaison party between three members and SM.” The official revealing in reference to the provisional disposition verdict paper to explain their current stand and situation.

Jaejoong & Yunho At First Official Press Conferences
TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho and YoungWoong Jaejoong have been garnering attention for showing their support for each other at their individual press conferences after the dispute began.
The two people’s friendship seemed not to have been disturbed in any way by the legal dispute with agency SM Entertainment. In fact, they both seemed to be trying hard not to accidentally bring harm to the other.
YoungWoong Jaejoong attended the press conference of ‘Postman of Heaven’ at 4:30 pm at the CGV at Wangship-li in Seoul on the 9th and said, “It was hard for me to decide to show my face at this press conference which is my first official outing since the trial,” and “But I wanted to attend the press conference because this production was something I worked hard on a year ago.”
He also said, “When I was filming the movie, it was a busy time as activities for the fourth album were going on at the same time. So the members couldn’t give me a lot of advice but U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin supported me by telling me to work hard,” and “I did not give U-Know Yunho advice when he began filming for his drama. I didn’t worry about him because he’s a friend who works as hard as he can in everything he does,” and showed his deep trust and faith in U-Know Yunho.
He also showed his affection by saying, “U-Know Yunho is a friend who hardly ever says ‘I’m tired’, or ‘I’m sick’.”
At the press conference for MBC’s drama ‘Heading to the Ground’, U-Know Yunho supported the three members who had a different stance than him by saying “I hope that the TVXQ dispute is ended in a good, reasonable way. There are a lot of bad rumors floating around but please don’t believe them.”
When more TVXQ-related questions were asked, he carefully said, “I don’t know why everyone is thinking of it so negatively. There are a lot of bad rumors going around. I worry that these rumors are only worsening the situation. I hope that nobody believes in these rumors and from my point of view, I hope that everything ends in a good and reasonable manner.”
On the other hand, SM Entertainment gave the ultimatum to the three members and said, “TVXQ will make a comeback next spring. Answer our question of your return by the 12th.” An answer regarding this was not available from YoungWoong Jaejoong on the day of the press conference.

JJ: Hello everyone. (Fans continue cheering~)
JJ: Woo~ It is much more comfortable here~
JJ: I… what should I say?
(A fan amidst the crowd: I LOVE YOU!)
JJ: … Hello.
JJ: Press conference has just ended ; There was too many cameras, too uncomfortable… (Laughs)
JJ: Is everyone feeling great?
Fans: Yes!
JJ: What have all of you been doing?
(Fans: “Oppa is so handsome!”, “The movie is great!”, “We’ve been waiting for it~~~”)
JJ: … Really. (Took a long, deep breath, he seems really nervous…)
(Fans: “Wooo~~~~”)
JJ: I was really nervous during the press conference, but it all went away the moment I reached here…
(Fans scream: “… Oppa!” “Looks like a doll!”)
JJ: Is it?
JJ: The time is…
(Fans thought that its going to end soon and said “What~”)
JJ: I have yet to say anything…
(Fans laugh~~)
JJ: The time is short, so everyone, please ask some questions and I will answer them.
(Fans were all cheering~~)
JJ: Kidding~~
(All fans went crazy and… undulated~~~)
JJ: (Laughs) Eh, first of all, the first preview, it was my first time watching the complete version too. Eh… very interesting.
JJ: Though there are some awkward moments…

Fans: “We have yet to watch it together!?”
JJ: Everyone please support the movie! Thank you!
(Fans almost broke into tears…)
