•Agencies And Celebrities Are Partners•,

Not A And B Watching over the Establishment

of a Standard Contract by the FTC

Contract problems between celebrities and agencies are not only a recent problem. Agencies put in a great deal of effort to raise a rookie and try to make the contract period as long as possible to stop the rookie from going to another agency once he or she becomes a successful star. Celebrities may suffer during their rookie days because of bad treatment and may worry about the long contract period becoming a hindrance to their futures.

Recently, some of the members of 'TVXQ' and one member of 'Super Junior' brought up problems regarding their contracts with their entertainment agency.

Aside from the content of the contract, this issue is garnering interest as it occurred within the 'idol culture' that is steadily spreading its influence in society, and to the country's top group that holds the largest number of fans.

Because there is a perception that celebrities are at a weaker position than agencies in our society, there was always sympathy geared towards the celebrities involved in such a case. Because it is a fact that celebrities are at a weaker position compared to the agencies that run like major corporations, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) created a 'Standard Form of Exclusive Contracts for Celebrities' in July, 2009.

The Standard Exclusive Contract for Celebrities is a contract set forth by the FTC to 'protect the rights of celebrities as well as stop the use of unlawful clauses in the contracts'. Although the content differs slightly for actors and singers, the main content states that a contract cannot be longer than seven years and that celebrities should be given more freedom in their private lives.

In reality, it is the agency's choice to use this contract. There are no legal problems if they choose not to. However, an agency must use this standard contract in order to be recognized as an agency that uses fair contracts.

It became a trend amongst agencies to implement the Standard Form of Exclusive Contracts for Celebrities and by October, 2009, 20 agencies' and 198 celebrities' contracts were examined for unlawful clauses, and such clauses were either fixed or scrapped.

Not long ago, there was news that the nation's biggest entertainment agencies were getting together to create the 'KMP (Korean Music Power) Project'. Although this is a conglomeration for the sake of developing our country's music, one worries whether such an organization with such great power will bring negative effects on the relationship between a celebrity and his or her agency. Or could it bring more chances and opportunities to the celebrities of those entertainment agencies?

The characteristic of today's fan culture is that there is communication between the fan and the celebrity. Fans and celebrities walk hand in hand as they share the pains and the joys. Fans find hope in their celebrities and a stronger will to live. Therefore, although the problems between celebrities and agencies bring grief to both sides, it also deeply hurts the people who supported and cherished them.

If the efforts of the FTC could solve the problem of contracts between agencies and celebrities, it would be a great strength to all. However, if both sides acted as partners, not 'A' and 'B', no one would get hurt and both would be able to move forward, dreaming the same dream.

The Reason She Does Not Want To Sparkle
-Excerpts from the Interview

Regarding Choikang Changmin-

Yoo Hana meets Choikang Changmin in Paradise]

The fans of are waiting eagerly,

can you explain your character in the drama for us?

Yes, I'm waiting for its release too. I play the role of an interior designer from a rich family in . My character was always a child who would listen to what her father said, but when she falls in love for the first time, she goes against her father and begins to work as an interior designer as a sign of defiance. So she begins to live away from home, but her love doesn't work out with that man and she meets someone who loves her. She can't forget her past love and wants to start this new love; she's confused and is caught in the middle of it. I play the role of a woman caught between the man who loves her and the man she loves.


What's it like working with Choikang Changmin and Joo Sang Wook? Have you gotten close to them?

With Choikang Changmin, he's younger than me so he's so cute. He's cute and makes me smile when I see him, and it's great to see him working so hard. I think he's trying very hard because it's his first drama. There are a lot of times when he asks me for help because we bump into each other a lot during the drama too.
(omitted)
We're all so young so we chat a lot. Although we can't meet off set because we're all so busy, all of us love to chat while we're filming.


You filmed in Jeju Island with two handsome actors, so it must have been better than going with your boyfriend.

I think of both of them as my boyfriends and enjoy my work. Am I being too honest? (laughter) Whether one has a boyfriend or not, it was so fun to film at such a great location with such great people. I think I like acting because in that moment, they become my boyfriend and the man I love. It's really~ nice. (laughter)


Your last two dramas were enjoyed by people in their 40s~50s but the viewing age for drops to the 10s~20s. The reaction will be different. Don't you think that working with Choikang Changmin will naturally lead to anti-fans?

Yes, I'm scared. (laughter) So when the number of cameras filming us increase, we get uncomfortable with each other. When it airs, I guess I'll get a lot of anti-fans. Till now, all I've had were ladies telling me I was so cute and pretty. (laughter) But I think that's something I knew from the start. I'm not the type to lose sleep over such things, so I think I'll be okay.
