[NEWS] TVXQ's Three Members vs SM, Busy Writing Up Statements For The 11th

SM Entertainment (SME) and TVXQ's YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu, who are currently in a dispute regarding the group's exclusive contract, are busy writing up statements of the offense and defense for the pending trial.

This is because at the first hearing on the 21st, the Seoul District Courts ruled that all documents related to the trial must be submitted by the 11th of September. Therefore, both sides are busy writing their positions on the issue by the deadline so that they will be able to submit these documents on time.

The three members' representing lawyer from Sejong Law Firm submitted a prepatory document on the 2nd that included the statements he wished to give during the court proceedings. This document was then forwarded to SME on the 3rd. On that day, SME's representing law firm, Taepyungyang Law Firm, fought back by submitting a letter appointing an assigned lawyer to deal with the case.

A person related to the trial stated, "Since the courts ruled that they would listen to more of the two sides' positions before coming to a decision, both sides are busy writing up documents to submit."
