DBSK / TVXQ recently completed their Asian Tour in Beijing, China. SM Entertainment stated that after calculating the sum total of the concerts in the six Asian cities, more than 390,000 people attended. The Asian Tour took place over sixteen months, the six cities included Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Bangkok, Shanghai and Beijing. Because of the huge number of people attending the concerts, TVXQ set the record for foreign artist to attract the most people to their concerts two years in a row (I believe that's a world stat). An example of their popularity during The Asian Tour would be the shutdown of an entire Thailand mall at a TVXQ press conference, because more than 15,000 fans and reporters were trying to see the group. TVXQ plans to release a new album in Korea this Fall, after concentrating on the Japanese market for most of the year. TVXQ should enjoy this time of success while they can, because you never know what Lee Soo Man and SM Entertainment have up their sleeves. They could always do to TVXQ what they did to H.O.T. TIME Magazine wrote: The contracts they had signed with production house SM Entertainment called for each band member to receive royalties of less than 1 cent for every CD sold; members of other groups were getting 17. Arithmetic revealed the ugly truth: whenever one of their albums reached the magic 1 million-copies-sold milestone, each H.O.T. member could count on payment totaling a paltry $10,000. After fruitless renegotiations with SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo Man last spring, three of H.O.T.'s five members split from the company, killing the band and breaking the hearts of millions of teenage fans. "We would complain that we never had enough money," says ex-H.O.T. singer Tony An, "and Lee Su Man would say: 'I even pay for your gas, what are you complaining about?'" Hmm... so TVXQ, I hope you guys negotiated a better deal and you should watch your backs because you're dealing with the snake, Lee Soo Man.
