[News] CGV Hit With A Boycott After Cancelling The ‘JYJ Documentary’

A controversy has risen over the cancellation of JYJ’s daily life documentary ‘The Day’, around ten days before its scheduled release.

The situation is growing bigger as JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment has filed a complaint against CJ CGV’s for a breach in their contract and JYJ’s fans have stepped up and begun to boycott CGV.

On Daum Telzone’s JYJ Star Zone, fans began posting photos of their newly cut-up CJ CGV cards. A petition was also begun recently on Daum’s Agora with the title ‘Even their documentary is cancelled.. When will this bullying end for JYJ?’ and signatures are flooding in. With a goal of 100,000 signatures, the petition has already collected over 4,000.

The petition states the following.

JYJ’s fans are in a state of shock once more.

This time, it is regarding CGV’s unilateral contract revocation and cancellation of JYJ’s documentary movie ‘THE DAY’. With only ten days before the movie’s release, that is.

A mere two weeks ago, JYJ’s agency C-JeS couldn’t hide their joy as they revealed on the 19th of January that, “We will be holding a movie screening for the daily life documentary of JYJ that was cancelled last winter.” Fans felt the same way. This movie cancellation can be seen as another step in the ‘group bullying’ process that JYJ have faced, as the CEO of C-JeS himself stated.

” I do not know the specifics of CGV’s internal situation that led to, not a modification of the contract, but a notification of non-fulfillment. However, I would like to say that I find it extremely unreasonable for this decision to nullify the contract to have been made so easily and boldly with the B2B contract already signed and the official announcements sent to the press.”

We demand a clearer explanation from CJ CGV.

We can no longer allow these ‘group bullying’ situations that are happening to JYJ on a regular basis continue on.
Netizens, we ask for you help

As seen in the petition above, the opinion has been brought up that this is a case of group bullying in the entertainment industry.

C-JeS revealed, “The examination of the contract’s specifics was completed by representatives of both sides and a press release was distributed on the 19th, and we received a contract on the 20th,” and “But CGV notified us through a telephone conversation that, “As this is a contract that was not approved by the final arbiter, we will nullify the contract.”

Though CGV stated, “C-JeS sent out press releases and notified the public of the movie’s screening even though the contract hadn’t been finalized,” C-JeS criticized them of creating another instance of ‘group bullying’ due to external pressure and has filed a case against CGV with the Fair Trade Commission.

JYJ’s ‘The Day’ was scheduled to air on cable channel QTV and even had teaser videos playing on the channel but was soon shut down and unable to air on TV.

The reason why a steady stream of external pressure rumors has followed JYJ is because JYJ have faced countless obstacles appearing in broadcasted programs due to their legal dispute with SM Entertainment, the agency of their former group ‘TVXQ’.

Despite the many difficulties, JYJ gained many international fans through their world tour and are planning to perform in South America in March.
