8-year-old Joon Seo played the character of Kim Nam Joo’s daughter in "Queen of Housewives" in 2009, and in that same year, she also played the role of Yunho’s younger sister in "Heading To The Ground".

In 2010, she played the role of Chae Rim’s daughter, Kim Min Ji, in "Oh! My Lady!", and will also have a part to play in "Paradise Ranch".

During the filming of "Heading To The Ground", she was interviewed, and in it, Joon Seo shared that, “When my friends heard that I was going to act alongside Jung Yunho (oppa), they were all very envious of me.”

She also openly shared that, “Compared to other days of filming, if I had a scene with Yunho (oppa) that day, I would be in an especially good mood, and no matter how long it took, I would never feel tired.”

Thereafter, Bang Joon Seo also expressed that, “Yunho (oppa) made a promise with me, that when Dong Bang Shin Ki holds a concert, he will invite me to come; it is such a blessing to have a brother like him; if only we can have filming every day, it would be great.”

DBSK situation,the truth and distortion

The future of idol group DBSK is uncertain. DBSK’s 3 members (Micky YooChun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejoong) and SM’s trouble is too deep. Although they state that there will be no disbandment, in reality, disbandment is more than likely. Even if they avoid the worst case scenario, disbandment, it feels like their departure of SM is set…

On the third, a acquaintance of the 3 members said, “settlement with SM has been tried multiple times. But their differences couldn’t be settled. The reason this went to court is because they couldn’t find a point to settle.” Thus, they concluded that more attempts for negotiations was useless.

The acquaintance that the reporter met is someone who has watched over DBSK very closely. He has experienced all ups and downs since debut until now. According to him, DBSK advocated for only one thing. They wanted conditions of the contract to be eased. However, it has gotten to a point where the conversations between the two parties have gone nowhere.

He stated, “they asked for the contract term and earnings distribution to be revised because everyone could tell it was irrational. They attempted to negotiate until the end but they felt that SM was avoiding them. Therefore, things got emotional for both parties and the 3 members are even more angry with SM’s response.”

“The truth about the 3 things that SM distorted.”

After the initial reports about this incident, SM sent documents on the 1st and the 3rd. On the first, they reported that this problem was due to the makeup company investment and they will work it out. After the contract conditions were reported, they responded that members were paid 11 billion Won and were given foreign cars as presents.

In response to this, he stated, “the nature of this instance is the unfair contract, not the make up company. However, SM has not mentioned the contract conditions and have continued to use make up company issues to play with the media.”

Additionally, he discussed about the 11 billion Won. He said, “let’s say SM is right and that they were paid 11 billion won for the 6 years of work. This is the pre-tax profit. After taxes were paid, and this amount is divided by 6 years, and 5 members, this is less than 200 million won per member. For the first half of this year, the profits from album sales in Japan is 2.5 billion Yen (33 billion won). However, DBSK doesn’t even receive 200 million won per year.”

The total number of albums released in and outside of Korea is 48. Out of these, including singles and full albums, 1.96 million copies were sold in Korea. In Japan for 4 full albums and 27 singles, 8 of those sold over 100,000 copies, and one sold over 250,000 copies. Including south-east Asia, at least 4 million albums were sold.

He also criticized abnormal methods of calculating methods. According to him, “SM requested money for back dancers and food. Basically, almost all of the expenses were paid for by DBSK.” He added, “besides this, SM created a local subsidiary and divided the earnings of DBSK into pieces. For example, SM Japan and Avex divided earnings, and this was also divided with Korean SM. With complex divisions, the money for the members were reduced.

Also, he stated that the foreign cars were given to them under the company’s name. “They received cars from SM after an award ceremony. However, the cars were registered in SM’s name and is not owned by DBSK.”

“The three members are as tired as they can get.”

According to this acquaintance, the three members of DBSK are tired of SM’s play with the press. They have no intention to solve this with mere words, and are extremely upset that SM is exaggerating only one side of the story, distorting the truth. He said, “they expected SM to twist words with the press but didn’t realize it would be to this extent. If SM continues this method, I think it would be nearly impossible to work together with SM again. I suspect that they will part with SM and try to find a different solution to settle this.

Their departure from SM does not mean the disbandment of DBSK. He asserts that there is no problems in relationships between all the members. They are still like family and agree that in any situations, they must work together. He said, “Truthfully, all five had the same intentions. But in the process of negotiations, there was differences between the members. That is why only 3 members decided to fight with their company. They all agree that the contract conditions are irrational, it is just that their way of handling it is different.”

“DBSK will continue even after departure with SM”

Micky YooChun, Xiah Junsu, Youngwoong Jaejoong’s will is stronger than ever. The acquittance reported that, “the 3 members are showing stronger wills than before debut. The three members are determined to stick together no matter what hardships come their way.”

They are also determined to get back together as 5 members under the name DBSK. He revealed, “even if the 3 members leave SM through lawsuit, this only means departure from SM. This does NOT mean the disbandment of DBSK. It may be after the 2 remaining members leave, or if they perform from 2 different companies; the 5 want to continue with DBSK.”

Well then, if 3 members leave SM, would they still be able to use the name ‘DBSK.’ Upon researching in the Industrial Property Office, the group name ‘DBSK’ is not registered. SM registered for DBSK trademark in 2004 but was denied. In other words, SM does NOT have the right to the name ‘DBSK.’

According to a ‘Mansung’ Patent Law Firm Office, the patent attorney Hwang Sung Pil said, “Dong Bang means East and one cannot assert exclusive right to use it. Most likely, this was probably the reason why the application was denied 2004. SM cannot assert any trademark rights to the name. If the 5 members are together even away from SM, they will have no problems using the name.”

More than anything, DBSK feels extremely sorry to their fans. This is why they want to go through with performances that were already scheduled. The acquaintance reported, “if they lose the lawsuit, they may have to pay an extreme amount of money for penalty. More than that, they are going through hard times thinking that they will have to be away from their fans while the lawsuit is in process.”

yunho:,bts of httg~

someone who was a member of staff on the set of 'Heading to the Ground'  know Yunho's side of the story.

. Also, this man wasn't a fan of Yunho and Changmin so he didn't really know the details.

1. Yunho was very tight-lipped

His schedule was very hectic because of the drama and so he didn't know or say much about the members' lawsuit.

This man heard about it elsewhere and casually asked Yunho what was going on and if he was okay.

Yunho smiled and replied 'things will get better'… he didn't say much after that.

The man realized he didnt' want to talk about it so he stopped asking.

From beginning to end, Yunho never uttered a word about the lawsuit (and even though people were curious, no one dared to ask)

2. He was in pain

He (the man) didn't know what it was but it was obvious to everyone else that Yunho was sick, both physically and mentally

He was stressed from filming the drama and he was in pain

Everybody could see it but he refused to admit or even say a word about it

He'd go into his van alone so that people wouldn't see him suffering but the whole world knew

As soon as the director signaled everybody to get into position, he'd step out of the van with a smile plastered on his face like everything was okay

He was always so afraid that other people would worry about him

3. Changmin's silence

Changmin went to visit once or twice but he was always extremely quiet

One time a friend came by and asked 'who's he?' when he saw a boy sitting alone on set

It wasn't until other people said 'TVXQ's Max Changmin' that she finally recognized him

He was so much more beautiful than one would imagine but his appearance was nowhere near as startling as his behaviour… he didn't act like a celebrity at all

He was quiet and distant

He'd arrive, watch and leave soundlessly every time

It made people wonder how he could possibly be a celebrity with an attitude like that...

4. Yunho's sincere gratitude

Yunho's fans offered comfort and relief to everybody

They were willing to act as the audience whenever they were needed (during scenes when they had football matches) and they'd bring food for the crew

They were Yunho's source of energy and motivation

So often the members of staff would say 'Thank God for your fans'

The pride and gratitude in his voice was always obvious whenever his fans became the topic of discussion

5. Yunho won everybody over

Yunho worked extremely hard on the drama and everybody was impressed by his personality

Those who worked with him invited him for future projects together and they really weren't just saying it - they really did like him

When he held the MJ concert, the director of 'Heading to the Ground' went and watched

6. Yunho's weakness...

Our leader-sshi has a fear of bottled drinks...

Most of you will remember the poisoning incident…

Yunho tries to stay away from opened bottles or drinks poured into cups unless he unscrewed the bottle/poured the drink himself

He may look strong but sometimes that's really not the case...

tears"".....uri leader in so much pain!i wish we all can share the pain.......saranghae!yunho oppa.!!~

All: (laughs out loud)

Junsu: So, I want to learn forever until the day I die. If I don't continue learning new things, then I can't be considered as a human being!

All: .............. (at this point, no one could speak a word because they were all laughing so hard
