It's better live though. Junsu's vocals >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the studio version which is amazing considering they performed \/ as the second encore having been on stage for like hours already
It's a long story but the essentials of it are that they filed an injunction against SM in 2009 to terminate their contracts for a few reasons but primarily because they were being treated unfairly and their earnings weren't being distributed properly (I think at the time each member was only getting like 2% of their earnings and SM kept 90% or something retarded like that). The 3 who left are JYJ now.
I think SM have, at least on the surface, learned their lesson. The way they handled SHINee during Jonghyun's injury seemed even remotely humanitarian, so that's something.
G-DRAGON WAITTTTTTTTT
Coup D'etat is a seriously great title.
In case any non-native-English/French speakers haven't heard that expression before or were wondering what it meant, it's a French phrase that literally translates to "kick the state (of affairs)", but it's used as an idiom to mean "hostile takeover" or the sudden overthrowing/deposition of a government. It's a pretty great album title, tbh.
