JYJ has taken first place on many music charts, but none of the members have been broadcast on Korean shows lately. They haven't been able to come out on any of shows on the main three broadcasting companies' for over three months. The only shows they have been on in Korea are Yoochun's former drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal," the "KBS News Time," the "KBS Drama Awards," and "KBS Vivid Information."
C-Jes Entertainment said, "There are no calls for variety shows. Even if they are, in the end they end up being canceled, so we don't anticipate any of those. I've heard that the variety section was told not to feature any of the JYJ members. I feel like they're getting blocked intentionally."
Incidents include SBS' "Bae Kiwan, Choi Youngah, Cho Hyungki's Good Morning." JYJ was on the show and the air date was set for January 5th, but the date has been pushed back to a later date. MNet's "Lee Hyori's Off the Record" has also asked JYJ to be on the show, but later on canceled. TVN asked Yoochun to be a guest on their talk show, but was also cancelled. SBS and KBS had interviewed them on the JYJ-SM relationship, but did not air the segment. They were also set to perform at the Blue Dragon Awards, but again, was cancelled.
SBS explained that they did interview them, but there was nothing newsworthy about the story. MNet explained that JYJ had talked to an insider, but that the story was immediately rejected and that there was no plans to air it from the beginning. SM Entertainment denied all accusations and said, "We have no power inside the broadcasting companies. That is all up to the broadcasters."
The PDs of the broadcasters had explained that JYJ and SM are still having legal problems, and that they did not want to cast any problematic celebrities and cause anger amongst not only fans and viewers but also the companies. They explained that it was the same case with JYP and Jay Park. As even a mention of Jay Park by JYP caused endless controversies back and forth, the producers have a legitimate point.
Many agree that SM Entertainment is telling the truth when they claim to not be sabotaging JYJ's chances to be on air. They place the blame on the producers of the shows, who are afraid that SM may do something if JYJ is cast and would rather not take that risk.
However, the blame can't be put on the producers either. If SM Entertainment does act, then all three broadcasters would suffer immense consequences. On MBC's side, Girls' Generation's Seohyun and f(x)'s Victoria would be pulled from "We Got Married", Super Junior's Siwon would be pulled from "Icon", Super Junior's Heechul would leave "Radio Star" and SHINee's Onew and Minho would be pulled from "Show! Music Core". SBS would lose Super Juniors' Leeteuk, Eunhyuk and Shindong from "Strong Heart", not to mention multiple celebrities on "Star King" and KBS would see SHINee's Minho leave "100 Points," which is, from their point of view, not beneficial at all.
When you have a case where everyone is just looking out for their own interests, who do you place the final blame on?
