Hello, this is Good Entertainment.
First of all, regarding this afternoon’s report, ‘Shinhwa’s logo contract has ended, and Shinhwa has disbanded’ has caused much unnecessary confusion, we sincerely apologize to everyone.
The report that was published in the afternoon was untrue, and we hope to clarify things through this notice.
Although Shinhwa members are busy with their own solo activities, and are unable to appear as ‘Shinhwa’, we still hope Shinhwa will still gather and carry out activities as a group. And so, we would like to make it clear that the statement ‘Shinhwa has disbanded’ contains no truth.
Also, we will clarify the issues regarding Shinhwa’s logo.
In July 2003, Good entertainment as signed a contract with Shinhwa and had bought over the rights to Shinhwa’s logo with some conditions attached. (For the detailed conditions please refer to the actual source of news, couldn’t really understand what it was about, my apologies.)
Hence, 3 years has passed and GOOD has renewed Shinhwa’s contract in 2006. At that time, SM has passed the rights to Shinhwa’s name to Open World Entertainment (OW), and so GOOD has contracted with OW in order to carry out activities in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and parts of South East Asia. OW has also been responsible for Shinhwa’s solo concerts and the contract to hold 2 activities in Japan.
And so, to fulfill that requirement in the contract, Shinhwa’s 2007 Asia Tour in Thailand and Singapore were put up together with OW. And in December 2007 concerts were held in Japan, Shanghai, and parts of Southeast Asia with OW’s cooperation until now.
The reported ‘Asia Fanmeeting’ planned to be held in August at Jeju Island was to fulfill the contracted second activity. Earlier on, OW has suggested this fan meeting and after discussions with the members, we decided it was not possible due to the member’s solo activities. Their schedules are too packed and this fan meeting was not possible. Rumours about disagreements amongst members and Shinhwa disbanding are not true.
The contract between Good and OW which started in 2006 regarding the rights to Shinhwa’s logo will only end when Shinhwa’s contract with Good ends. Hence, there are no issues with Shinhwa’s logo. Thus, the problems with Shinhwa’s logo and the ‘Asia Fanmeeting’ were misinterpreted and led to the untrue reports.
Above are the clarifications with regards to Shinhwa’s logo. As mentioned, ‘Shinhwa has disbanded’ is totally untrue. And here, Good would like to clarify that there are no issues with the rights Shinhwa’s logo.
I hope this clears the confusion and when we see Korea’s representative group Shinhwa, I hope every one of you will give your support.
Thank you.
