[Trans] C-JeS Notice About Loen and Junsu's Solo Album

Hello.

This is CJeS representative Baek Changju.

Yesterday our dispute of business consultation with LOEN entertainment has been amicably resolved. Yesterday evening, LOEN executives met up with our representatives and in due course, we received the official position to move forward with all promotional marketing activities as well as the online and offline distribution of XIA (Junsu) 2nd album.

In the meantime, with many fans hoping that XIA (Junsu) showcase will be broadcasted live to the world via Melon TV, LOEN was able to keep their promise to their customers. As promotions for XIA (Junsu) 2nd album has normalized, we will be able to show a fair stage for people who love music.

The director and the media planning team would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for sending us a lot of public support with each of the issues raised.

We will repay with a variety of activities upon the release of XIA (Junsu) 2nd album and the Asia tour.

[News] LOEN Entertainment responds to C-JeS' lashing out, C-JeS answers back

After C-JeS Entertainment revealed that LOEN Entertainment had changed their terms for Junsu's promotions, LOEN Entertainment revealed their own stance.

LOEN Entertainment said, "Right now, we're still in the stages of discussing the terms of Junsu's album promotion contracts. We haven't signed the contract, and there's nothing confirmed. Since there's nothing confirmed, we can't reveal the details. But one thing that is definite is that the article was released before anything was fully decided."

They added, "Junsu's label said that we closed all the events, but they're still all going on. During the contract signing stages, opinions can go back and forth all the time during the negotiation process. We could have talked this out, and we're shocked that they said we broke the contract. If it's like C-JeS said, Junsu's showcase event page on Melon's homepage should have been taken down, but it's still open and functioning normally. We're also going to reveal the chosen fans to attend the showcase on the 11th, as scheduled".

However, C-JeS Entertainemnt responded, "We sent our statement after receiving the sudden news 6 days before the showcase. We also told them that if they did not answer, we'd be spreading this to the media. But we had no answer. LOEN Entertainment says that we were still in the stages of negotiating and that we hadn't signed the contract, but we started the pre-orders and even started receiving entries for the showcase event. If we didn't have the contract, shouldn't none of this happened?"

They added, "Junsu is busy with international CF filming and his Thailand schedule. The reason he planned this showcase is because he wanted to show himself to the public. Since he can't come out freely on broadcast, we prepared a free showcase to show his stage through Melon TV. Since the label is paying for the showcase, if Melon TV will not air it, there's no reason to just have this exclusively for Melon customers. We've currently asked LOEN Entertainment to answer until the afternoon of the 9th (KST). If this doesn't get fixed, the label will invite the fans, and the event will be canceled."
*Note- According to @Ohmyjunsu: The showcase will NOT BE CANCELLED. CJES will simply invite fans instead of giving tickets to Melon users.*

[Trans] CJeS: ‘LOEN Entertainment uses power status to imperiously abandon Kim Junsu. No agreement reached’ + CJeS’ official announcement

CJeS Entertainment asserts that LOEN Entertainment is committing unjust tyranny and released a letter of plea.

On July 9th, CJeS Entertainment argues through a press release: “With just six days left until the release of XIA (Junsu)’s second full album, we received a unilateral notice from the distributor, LOEN Entertainment, on the afternoon of July 8th.”

CJeS Entertainment states, “Following the decision of (LOEN’s) executive team, the verbal contract that has been in the making for two months has been rendered obsolete.” LOEN Entertainment states, “We will conduct XIA (Junsu)’s online and offline distribution but we will not do any promotional marketing outside of the distribution.” LOEN continues in their notice, “This was the decision of our internal executive team so we wish for your understanding. As for the XIA showcase for MelOn customers, the live stream will not be available through LOENTV and MelOn.”

On the actions of LOEN, CJeS comments, “We are unable to proceed with other contracts with favorable terms. They have cornered us and used their power unjustly on us.”

CJeS continued, “We can clearly say that we have constantly been faced with invisible external pressures directed at JYJ and will not sign any agreement even with the tyranny of the power distributor.

CJES revealed their stance, “The aforementioned has maliciously used their advantageous position as a distribution business and unilaterally annulled a business to business consultation. We will file a civil complaint against LOEN with the Fair Trade Commission and Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission. We will do everything in our power to seek justice.”

CJES also emphasized, “If LOEN does not reaffirm the promise of conducting a live stream of the showcase on MelOnTV by today, then showcase will not be open to MelOn customers but will be managed by CJeS. We plan to admit people by order of arrival and will broadcast a live stream through the official CJeS channel. We wish to extend our apologies to the fans for this regrettable news, and promise to do our best to facilitate a smooth showcase and distribution.”

Below is CJeS Entertainment’s official announcement

Hello.

This is CJeS Entertainment.

For the release of XIA (Junsu)’s 2nd album on the 15th, we, CJeS Entertainment (hereafter CJeS) have received a sudden unilateral and unfair decision by the distribution company LOEN Entertainment (hereafter LOEN) regarding the online and offline distribution of XIA’s album. We would like to tell the following facts to the fans and the public about this unlawful situation.

Since May, the company has been in business consultation with LOEN regarding the release of XIA’s album and both parties have verbally agreed on the distribution agreement.

We then met with officials more than 5 times and have exchanged at least 50 mails about the distribution of XIA’s 2nd album. In addition, 15 days ahead of the album release, CJeS and LOEN had finally decided to proceed with the final decision for the following promotional and marketing strategies (1. MelOn live TV event of the showcase for MelOn customers. 2. MelOn special video part 3. Overall PR marketing for each of the five major online music distribution sites)

However, yesterday evening, LOEN’s side gave a notice of unilateral decision overturning the entire contents of what we have agreed so far. LOEN said, “we will proceed with the online and offline distribution for XIA, but decided to fully nullify other promotion and marketing activities.”, it was stated. Also, LOEN said, “This is an internal executive decision, please understand the situation. In case of the Melon live TV event of the showcase, it is no longer possible.”

However, the showcase began at the suggestion of LOEN. LOEN has stated both on emails and face to face meetings last June that, “CJeS Entertainment and LOEN will do the showcase on MelOn since web and mobile exposure can reap huge publicity for the album.” The showcase was explained, we accepted the reason,, and the final decision to proceed with the showcase c/o of LOEN instead of a major internet portal site. On July 3rd, before the final press release about the showcase was distributed to the media, we shared with LOEN the contents of the data, and at that time, LOEN said, “It would be good if you mention about LOEN TV and MelOn TV.” We accepted this and replied, then distributed the press release to the media. However, LOEN officials decided that the TV event of the showcase in MelOn is not possible, 6 days before the showcase which is an obvious act of tyranny.

Also, LOEN’s statement that they will nullify all promotional marketing strategies while distributing the album online and offline, which comes a mere six days before the release date, is like saying that they will gain the profits from XIA (Junsu)’s fans but will not take on the responsibilities of the distributor of XIA (Junsu)’s second solo album.

For the last 2 months, LOEN have done business for album distribution of XIA (Junsu) with the 2nd track of XIA (Junsu) album, 11 am, producing and filming the special clip as well as the overseas distribution on iTunes was also provided. This marketing was not in the agreement, but it can be seen looking at the consultations between both sides (contracts in progress), as both sides exchanged a lot of emails and letters and phone communication, which can be regarded as evidence.

However, after a pre-release on July 2nd, the showcase that was agreed upon through emails and meetings saw its banner disappearing without a trace from (MelOn’s) web and mobile main pages. Even though XIA (Junsu)’s music video teaser was revealed on July 8th, there was still no trace of the banner. For artists who are using LOEN’s distribution services at the same time as Junsu, We can easily find banners of those artists on MelOn’s web and mobile pages. However, all of XIA (Junsu)’s contents disappeared from MelOn’s main pages since July 4th.

Receiving the notice from LOEN last night, CJeS’ planning team felt that the contents of LOEN’s promotional contents were being destroyed. Additionally, giving us this notice with just six days left until the release is like cornered us and using their power unjustly on us. We strongly opposed their decision through an official document, but LOEN’s reply was that nothing will be changed.

The aforementioned has maliciously used their advantageous position as a distribution business and unilaterally annulled a business to business consultation. We will file a civil complaint against LOEN with the Fair Trade Commission and Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission. We will do everything in our power to seek justice.”

[NEWS] Junsu Kim proves vocal ability with Les-Miserable-Way Music Video

XIA (Junsu) – 11:00 A.M. – Special Clip

Junsu Kim, one of the most talented vocalists among idol singers, established his ability again with the first one-take live video in the country.

The special clip of the pre-released acoustic song ’11:00 A.M’ which will be included in his second full-track album was produced by LOEN TV. Usually singers record vocal in the studio and shoot video separately for making a music video, his special clip was made as live-on-the-spot way.

He brought maximum emotion by singing the song live in full, rather than cutting the parts off which is a normal way of recording a song to make best outcome.

He put a special microphone under his clothes and in-ear earphone in his left ear. But he sang without any instrumental accompaniment until the middle of the song. Only a piano was accompanied middle after in his earphone.

A staff of the video explained that his work was similar to the way of making film ‘Les Miserable’ which recorded all songs live in the field in order to maximize the actors’ emotion.

The video was taken at the seaside of Daebu Island, Ansan, Gyeonggido. The staff started setting equipment at 06:00 AM and filming at 07:00 AM. Junsu Kim sang the song in full 3 times only, and all shooting finished in one hour.

“We took the video as one-take live to express the song’s lonely emotion and vocal. It’ll deliver fantastic feeling with his sweet-sorrow voice, the sound of birds and wind which we took in the field too”.
