Lawsuit between SM Entertainment and JYJ delayed until March

JYJ and SM Entertainment’s ongoing lawsuit has been delayed.

On January 18th at 3 PM the 47th Seoul Central District Court held the third trial , but due to the difference in opinions with both sides being unable to meet a compromise, the court decided for an additional hearing to be held on March 15th at 2 PM with one employee from SM as a witness.

JYJ’s lawyers requested a quick announcement by the justice department by asking, “The promotional period of singers is short, so please give a quick judgment on at least the validity of their exclusive contracts.”

SM Entertainment’s lawyers retorted to JYJ’s lawyers by asking for a judgment to be made including all of the issues that are being disputed.

The justice department responded, “There’s a necessity in further discussing the legal problems before a portion of the announcement is made.  There is plenty of time until the next appointed date of March 15th, so we ask for both sides to cooperate and investigate further evidence.”
