Kim Jaejoong, who debuted early with the group "TVXQ", not only left the group after having contractual issues with his former agency SM, but also formed a new group JYJ with then-members Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun. However, due to the acrimonious separation of the three members and SM, they were even blacklisted and hence were unable to appear on Korean public broadcasting stations (KBS, SBS, MBC) for a long time.

Kim Jaejoong, who is now celebrating his 20th anniversary since debut, is still tremendously popular in Japan. He has recently set up a new company after establishing himself alone. Even more, keen netizens noticed that his former agency, SM, sent a flower basket as a congratulation, sparking speculations that the ice between Kim Jaejoong and SM has finally broken.

Today (9th), according to Korean media reports, Kim Jaejoong has finally returned to the three major Korean TV stations after his contract dispute with SM since 2009. This is also Kim Jaejoong's first activity on a Korean public broadcast station after being banned for 14 years.

Reports suggest that Kim Jae-jung has confirmed his participation in the "IDOL RADIO LIVE IN SEOUL" concert hosted by MBC on 23rd of next month. Not only will it be broadcast live by MBC, but the venue is also selected to be the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, which is sure to attract many fans to watch in person.

In addition, related personnel also mentioned, "IDOL RADIO LIVE IN SEOUL" concert will not only broadcast on the main MBC channel, but it will also be broadcasted together on other MBC sub-channels.

Once the news was exposed, the long-waiting fans couldn't contain their excitement, leaving comments like, "After 14 years, finally...", "This is so great! Congratulations Kim Jaejoong", "Is this a dream?", "Finally, we can see Kim Jaejoong on TV again".

However, there is a reason that many fans felt comforted. Although the three members of JYJ have starred in dramas on the three major TV networks since their lawsuit with SM Entertainment ended, they haven't been able to appear on music shows. Thus, this time, Kim Jaejoong's return to MBC's music performances and his appearance on the main channel broadcast is of great significance to the fans.

Did Girls' Generation's Sunny left SM Entertainment? Fans can't help to worry as SM did not give any statement.

People are speculating that Girls Generation's Sunny has left SM Entertainment. Nation's Girl Group, Girls' Generation recently celebrated their 16th anniversary. On August 5, Girls' Generation's 16th-anniversary event was held at KWANGYA Seoul operated by SM Entertainment. The group picture was shown on the screen but when they showed Oh!GG, only four members showed up excluding Sunny. The four members also left a special message for fans. Fans only found out about this during the day of their anniversary through the event. Fans started to speculate that Sunny didn't renew her contract with SM Entertainment. Earlier in 2017, Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun left SM Entertainment after 10 years since their debut. During that time, netizens were worried about Girls' Generation's future thinking that they will disband or continue as five members. However, SM Entertainment responded, “Girls’ Generation is a group that is precious and meaningful to SM and their fans. The members also have no thoughts at all about disbanding.” They also shared that the members will carefully discuss their future activities in the future. Truthfully, Girls' Generation celebrated their 15th anniversary last year and released its seventh full-length album “FOREVER 1.” Just like what SM said, the members gathered and promoted together despite Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun being in the other agency. Due to that, fans are also expecting that Sunny will continue her group activities even if she leaves SM Entertainment. For now, the fans want Sunny to take her time before speaking up about this matter.

SM introduces their new boy group RIIZE, seven years after NCT's debut. Everyone is looking forward!

SM Entertainment recently introduced their new boy group, RIIZE. Expectations are high on RIIZE as they will be the ones who will open the doors for SM's new era, as SM announces their debut after Lee Soo-man left. After experiencing internal conflict over management rights earlier this year, SM declared the beginning of the “SM 3.0” era. It was announced that SM will change its constitution around the multi-production center and release new groups in a new production system. SM started by announcing their new boy group, RIIZE. They will be the first SM artist that will not be managed by SM's former general manager Lee Soo-man unlike all SM's idol groups before. To make it clear, RIIZE will not be a part of SM's KWANGYA and is completely different and independent. RIIZE’s concept will be revealed soon. RIIZE is a seven-member boy group and is set to debut in September. This will be their first boy group, seven years after NCT's debut. The name, RIIZE came from the word “Rise”, which means growth, and “Realize”, which means a team that grows together and realizes their dreams. After Shotaro and Sungchan's withdrawal from NCT, it is confirmed that they will re-debut in RIIZE along with SM Rookies' Eunseok and Seunghan, and new faces Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton. Anton is the son of singer and producer Yoon Sang and actress Shim Hye Jin. He's been gaining a lot of attention since the announcement because of his visuals and people have been bringing back his old videos. In addition, everyone is looking forward to Shotaro and Sungchan's re-debut and their improvement since they have been performing a few songs in NCT. RIIZE's production will be headed by Lee Sangmin, and Kim Hyung-guk, also the head of management and production of EXO and Super Junior. It is reported that RIIZE's genre will be emotional pop and regarding this, it was said that it can be seen as a concept of SHINee when they emerged as a contemporary band in the past. In addition, their group name itself 'RIIZE' means that they will grow into the pop genre.

It turns out it's not Taeyeon! Netizens speculate about one Girls' Generation member not re-signing with SM Entertainment due to 'one clue'!

Some netizens dug up the list of SM family concerts and spread rumors wildly about the non-renewal of the SM contract as Taeyeon, the leader of the girl group Girls' Generation, was missing. However, on the 5th, there was a clue that led netizens to wildly guess that it was not Taeyeon who was not renewing the contract, but someone else in the group. In the early morning, a post titled "It seems that Sunny will not renew her contract with SM this year" was uploaded on the online discussion forum. Shortly after its publication, it attracted over 60,000 netizens to check it out. The article shares special messages posted on SNS by Girls' Generation members to celebrate their 16th anniversary of debut. They are Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, Yuri and Yoona, but Sunny is missing. Seeing this, the netizen who wrote the article speculated that Sunny might not renew her contract with SM this year. It is reported that the current members of Girls' Generation under SM Entertainment include Taeyeon, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Yoona, among others. This year happens to be their contract renewal period, so their recent every move is of great interest to netizens. After learning about it, most of the online users expressed their support, saying "No matter where Sunny goes, we will still support her, happy 16th anniversary," "No matter when or where, we will support you," "We support your departure." At the same time, other netizens also voiced different opinions, "Isn't she Lee Soo-man's niece? Of course she'd leave," "Just because there's no 16th anniversary message from Sunny, it means she's not renewing her contract?" , "Of course Lee Soo-man's close relatives have to be sorted out", "With Lee Soo-man gone, she wouldn't have a good time staying at SM either", and other varied reactions. Additionally, Girls' Generation officially debuted with their song "Into The New World" on August 5, 2007. At that time, they were incredibly popular in Asia and internationally, solidifying their position as a leading girl group. They were even hailed as the "National Girl Group" at one point.
