Before establishing himself as a solo artist like nowadays, Jaejoong debuted as a member of boy group TVXQ (also known as DBSK) under SM Entertainment.
However, in 2009, he, along with 2 fellow former members (Yoochun and Junsu), filed a lawsuit against SM to suspend their contracts. At the time, Jaejoong claimed that SM distributed the profits from TVXQ’s activities unfairly, was non-transparent in terms of financial matters, and imposed a “slave contract” on the idols.
In the end, the court ruled in favor of Jaejoong, but he was “blacklisted” in the industry for years due to SM’s connections.
Now, Jaejoong is no longer suffering from SM’s actions, and in fact, recently went viral from a “savage response” he made related to the past lawsuit.
In particular, Jaejoong’s niece recently posted an SNS update about a conversation she recently had with the male idol.
According to the niece, she told Jaejoong how she likes NCT – an SM Entertainment artist, to which Jaejong replied savagely, “Really? You know I was in SM for 8 years and then was even suing them right?”
The niece also added the caption “LOOOOOL I should just die”, along with a photo of a trophy Jaejoong had since his years as TVXQ.
Netizens who saw the story had a great laugh, and a post about this interaction has even gone viral on the SNS platform X (formerly Twitter) with over 2.2 million views.
