Recently, Jin Junxiu said in the ChannelA variety show: "Although you can't go on TV after quitting Oriental Shenqi, you can't earn 100 times more money than before you quit the group." As soon as this remark came out, it caused a heated discussion among netizens on the Internet. There were also netizens who experienced the termination incident at that time wrote a super long hot post analyzing their previous contracts with SM to explain why there were many activities in the group but little money. What kind of slave contract was it?
1. Album revenue: Each member gets 0.4% of the sales when 50,000 to 100,000 copies are sold, 0.6% of the sales of each member when 100,000 to 200,000 copies are sold, 1% of the sales are given to each member when more than 200,000 copies are sold, and 10 million won (6wRMB) is awarded to each member when more than 500,000 copies are sold. However, this settlement standard only applies to regular albums, and informal albums have no settlement. And this is the final contract modified in the second half of 2008, before the contract was modified to sell 500,000 copies or less without settlement, that is to say, Oriental Shenqi did not get a penny before the Mirotic album.
2. Variety shows, radio, magazines and other programs starring income: there is a settlement when the program is fixed. Single appearance is something a singer should do to promote his own record, so there is no settlement.
3. Copyright: All copyrights of songs (including unpublished songs) composed by members of Oriental Shenqi are owned by SM.
4. Overseas Income: SM: The ratio of Oriental Shenqi is 3:7 net profit. But this net profit is based on sales, first let Ai Hui and SM Japan take a part, and then the rest of the three or seven points. Some experts said that SM Japan and SM took away two gains, which is a problem, and SM did not submit information to explain how much Avex and SM Japan took first.
5. Contract duration: 13 years, plus the military then it is actually 15 years. As a comparison, BigBang and Wonder Girls also have 2PM contracts with a contract term of 5 or 7 years.
Five people in the East god rise
How popular the Oriental Shenqi was at that time, those who chased the stars in that era should be very clear. In such a high-intensity running one activity after another, the top boy band that has worked hard for a year, the year-end calculation is told that there is no income but ow money to the company, how absurd.
Then there was the termination incident that alarmed the entire Korean entertainment circle, and five people from the East God rose up, and three people proposed to terminate the contract. A total of sixteen lawsuits won thirteen, three settlements, and then the legislation clearly stipulated that it was not allowed to sign unequal slavery contracts that excessively infringed on the freedom of artists and other terms, and after the dissolution of the storm, the Korean circle began to rectify slave contracts on a large scale, shorten the contract signing period, increase the income of artists, and only now has the longest seven-year contract for you to love beans.
JYJ
After the termination of the contract, Kim Joon-so, Kim Jae-jung and PYT established the JYJ group, which was jointly banned by SM Company and the Korea Popular Culture and Art Industry Alliance since its inception, and was banned by Ai Hui in Japan and could not appear on any TV programs. Subsequently, after several parties continued to work hard to legislate the JYJ Law, it was clearly forbidden to obstruct artists from appearing in TV shows without justifiable reasons.
However, the JYJ Law protected all artists but could not protect JYJ, and it is still the case today. Kim Joon-so won the Seoul Song Awards but could not attend, the trophy was couriered home; Kim Won the Golden Disc Award, the award party did not have his place, received the award and left; can not play songs on the music program, forever a candidate, it is extremely ironic.
Kim Joon-so said that he made 100 times more money than before, and was banned from the only way to publicize it when the media stream was not rising. It's sung one after another. In the event of a successful case, fair treatment is still not available.
