DBSK’s Max Changmin recently had a photoshoot for the December 2010 issue ELLE Girl. He also did a short interview talking mostly about, of course, girls.
A gentle love, and a Tokyo love story.
In regards to an invitation to a date, he’s more okay with it! From what he had said to us, he likes to play pool. At first we were just talking about how the scene would be like, but he became more serious over time. This is the first time we’ve seen this expression ❤
If I’m asked out by a girl for a date suddenly, I would feel so rejuvenated! I wouldn’t know how to react and my heart would beat crazily. Personally, I would want to give the person I like a meaningful surprise date. But in reality, there is not enough time for me to prepare for one due to work… There will be a day♪
►►SM Ent lawsuit day 1: “The way we treat DBSK is not as bad as others”
TVXQ 3 Members “The unfairness of the contract is grave” vs SM “The way we treat TVXQ is not bad compared to other agencies”
Three members of TVXQ (Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun) and SM Entertainment had their first hearing today regarding an objection to the verdict on a contract suspension injunction that was made last year, and were unsuccessful in closing the gap between their conflicting stances.
The legal representatives of the three members of TVXQ and SM met at the Seoul District Courts at 5 p.m. on the 7th to state their stances on the lawsuit made by SM Entertainment regarding an objection to the contract suspension injunction verdict.
This hearing was held after SM filed for the lawsuit on April 12th as an objection to the partial acceptance verdict made by the Courts last year.
At the hearing, SM’s representative stated, “Compared to other agencies in Korea, TVXQ’s income division is not unfair,” and emphasized that TVXQ’s income division was not a pressing issue in the exclusive contract.
The representative also strongly questioned the three members’ action of signing a separate contract with their Japanese agency AVEX although only the contract suspension injunction, not the actual lawsuit, had been partially accepted by the Courts.
On the other hand, the three members’ representative stated, “The length and the income division section of the exclusive contract between SM and TVXQ is so unfair that the situation is very grave.”
►►Kim Hyun Joong’s contract as SS501 member is ending…what’s next?
Leader of SS501, Kim Hyun Joong is currently under a stressful dilemma with the end of his contract quickly approaching.
Kim Hyun Joong’s contract with DSP Entertainment will officially end on June 8th. There are rumors that he will separate from the other SS501 members and pursue an acting career. However, there are also opposing rumors that all the members of SS501 and the company have unofficially renewed the contract.
Furthermore, it is well known that Kim Hyun Joong is best friends with TVXQ’s Jaejoong. An unknown source said that there was a possibility that Kim Hyun Joong will enter Jaejoong, Micky, and Junsu’s current company. In fact, Hyun Joong and Jaejoong are currently living together, so it’s been said that the two best friends are currently cautiously contemplating about Kim Hyun Joong’s future.
Also, Kim Hyun Joong recently met with Bae Yong Joon. Netizens are now wondering if this meeting had anything to do with Hyun Joong’s contract. However, a representative of Bae Yong Joon clarified the situation, saying, “The meeting was strictly personal.”
Another source claimed that Kim Hyun Joong will leave DSP Entertainment, but will continue to be a part of SS501 and participate in their promotions and activities. This is similar to what the members of Shinhwa are doing right now. god also had a period when the members were in two different companies.
DSP Entertainment is currently trying to compromise with Kim Hyun Joong by saying that they will be fully supportive of his acting career while he is still a part of SS501.

I hope he’ll continue his success with SS501..otherwise fans would be really disappointed T_____T

►►Over 1 million fans apply for tickets to DBSK JaeChunSu’s dome concert
After the breaking news that SM Entertainment would file a lawsuit against JaeChunSu (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) of TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki, it has been announced that the infamous trio would be holding a concert to thank their fans.
Earlier this month on the 15th, TVXQ’s Japanese label Avex announced, “It has been decided that the three members will become a unit. To convey their gratitude for the fans, they will be holding a Dome Live event.” However, as the tickets were in high demand, they held a drawing to distribute the tickets to eager fans. They accepted applications on the tickets from the 19th to the 22nd.
It seems as if the fans have been “keeping the faith” as, to everyone’s surprise, they received over one million ticket applicants! The Vice President of Avex relayed his shock through this message on his blog, “I think there will be many fans who will be disappointed at the drawing results. We’ve received over one million applicants. Please understand us.”
On the 28th, the first round of results was posted. From the original one million applicants, only 18 people were chosen.
Avex feels as if they will run into problems when general ticket sales start and Korean fans feel the same. Korean fans who wanted to attend the concerts feel that they are at a disadvantage, with some stating, “What are overseas fans supposed to do?” and “If you have left over seats, why even bother holding a drawing?”
The concert will be held on June 5th and 6th in the Osaka Dome as well as on the 12th and 13th in the famed Tokyo Dome.

►►2PM being scouted by top Japanese companies – to be the next DBSK?
‘Aiming to be the 2nd DBSK!’
It has been revealed that the top Japanese labels have their eye on 2PM.
On the 22nd at Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown’ and the 23rd at the pre-recording for KBS2 ‘Music Bank,’ representatives from Japanese labels Sony, EMI, and AVEX were present. They visited Korea to watch the passionate comeback performances of 2PM’s ‘Without U.’ Following this, they closely observed 2PM’s performances at the ‘Anycall Corby Family Festival’ on April 24th at the Seoul Olympic Fencing Stadium.
Japanese label representatives are interested in 2PM because of the charisma that shows through their strong performances and manly beauty, matching their ‘beast idols’ nickname. They uniformly agreed, “There is no male group in Japan that shows that kind of style” and it has become known that they saw in 2PM a high potential for success [in Japan]. It also appears that they have calculated the need to look for new Korean stars that can replace the great popularity of the recently-dissolved DBSK in Japan.
2PM’s company JYP Entertainment revealed that 2PM is indeed in the middle of advancing plans for Japan. Fans are interested in seeing whether 2PM’s advancement into Japan will result in their being ‘the 2nd DBSK.’
