As most kpop fans already know, DBSK's Korean contract with SME is a mess at the moment but how's their Japanese contract doing?
DBSK are currently signed to Rhythm Zone records under Avex Japan, a deal struck by SM during the beginning of their Japanese career back in 2005. The label boasts of acts such as Exile, Koda Kumi, M-flo and Ayumi Hamasaki. They've been very active when it comes to label-wide activities, participating in the yearly A Nation, a series of open-air concerts throughout Japan held in summer.
Over the course of the lawsuit filed by Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu plus all the scandals connected to it, Avex has insisted that DBSK would continue performing as Tohoshinki in Japan with all 5 members. On the 3rd of January, Nikkan Sports Japan quoted Avex, saying, "The policy of TVXQ to work as five members doesn’t yet to change."
Korea Economic Daily recently reported that:
"As been informed, TVXQ contract with their Japan company AVEX will expire in June. If the contract is not extended from now on, whether TVXQ can continue activities in Japan, it won’t be yet secured."
The problem with this is that DBSK are signed to Avex via SME, which means that when it's time to talk contracts again, SME will be the ones negotiating with Avex and not the band themselves. Due to the fact that Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu want to get away from the company, it's still unclear whether or not SME will choose to renew the three members' contracts with Avex come June.
