[trans] 110110 Top Selling Artists, Yet They're Not On Music Shows?

The idol goup JYJ was formed after members of TVXQ Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun left SM Entertainment. Although they released their first album <The Beginning> in October last year, they have not participated in any music or variety shows. Despite topping various music charts with their astonishing sales of 350,000 albums, they have not had any opportunity to participate in music programmes and have only participated in recording on non-music programmes so far.

As an actor, Park Yoochun participated in the Korean drama <SungKyunKwan Scandal>, as well as <KBS Live Newstime> on the 30th, <KBS Drama Acting Awards> on the 31st, as well as <KBS Vivid Imagination> on 1st January; all of which are non-music programmes.

Are the broadcasting companies afraid of the larger corporations? Popular group JYJ, who has a contract dispute with SM Entertainment (henceforth SM), has yet to appear on a music show and the continuation of this unusual situation has raised interest. JYJ, despite doing well in many music ranking charts, is unable to make an appearance in any of the music shows by the 3 major broadcasting stations. The recording that they did with <SBS Good Morning> on the 27th (December) was also supposed to air on the 5th, but it has been continuously postponed until now. The question on whether the broadcasting companies are under pressure from large corporations has grown exponentially.

The SBS production team expressed, "Changes in broadcast schedules for pre-recorded material are a common occurrence and JYJ's have been delayed. The content that they recorded will be broadcasted between 19-20 January."

Mr Park, a representative from JYJ's management agency C-Jes said, "None of the variety shows contacted us and even if they did, we were unable to get it confirmed in the end. This is why we have no more expectations now."
