Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry (KFPCAI) (here after Munsan) on last October 13th sent out official letters of request to three public broadcasting stations MBC, SBS KBS, as well as cable broadcasting station, and other various online album distribution sites to refrain JYJ from making appearances on shows and halt album sales.
This letter of request seems to be in conform with SM Entertainment’s action on the 8th, that was filing a provisional injunction application to Seoul Central Distric Court against JYJ exclusive contract and to ban the sales of their first world wide album ‘The Beginning’, after this news became widely known, it’s been caused a considerable stir into the already high-tense situation.
Mass media reported the issue as “For JYJ who just make a comeback, this is definitely going to be an undesirable ‘reef’ to threaten their future activities”.
Chairman of Munsan clarified this issue that is accused on them, “Rather than memorandum, the document letter is merely just a request.” as he said through interview with press media, “We sent request with each broadcaster name printed on the letter to restrain the appearance of JYJ, it’s not even an official document sent massively like it’s been known.”
To call it not an official document, Munsan chairman stressed that the letter was sent to become each station’s review, instead of oppression on them. “The letter is just a request, and far from what people said an oppression to each broadcasting station. We’re still waiting for conclusion result of SM Entertainment litigation that is currently in progress.”
However, despite the explanation of Munsan’s chairman, the request document whose content was exposed later to public had a formal document format thus put everyone in frowned.
The document has title ‘Request to Refrain From Broadcasting JYJ Appearances’ with date printed was October 11th, and the content revealed , “Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry (as Munsan was referred) sent you this official memorandum in order to protect the cultural development and hallyu wave of South Korea.” as written at the body letter. Document’s ID number was not fail to be included as well.
Fans who had checked how the document was arranged gave offensive comments, “This letter is basically equipped with everything needed to be an official document, thus how come he announced to media that this is not an official document.”
Regarding the memorandum, fans–based on information reported to the Fair Trade Commission–submitted petition to the court to embark on subsequent action plan.
