According to SM Entertainment, the mega international, Korean boy-band has been deemed an impossibility. They will not be ready to tour or produce anything according to SM’s schedule. A band that you’ve grown to love may be forever gone, if they cannot find another label to work under. Due to the penalties given by SM, leaving to another label may be quite difficult. –However, there still lies hope continuing under “TOHOSHINKI” through Avex, let’s hope that will work out.

SM released their statements November 13th and thus said:

“We gave the deadline for the 3 members to give us a reply about Dong Bang Shin Ki’s comeback in Korea next year by 12th November previously during our press conference on 2nd November. But we did not get any response. This has hence make the group’s comeback in Korea next year impossible.”

The boys gave their last stand. After all they put into their court cases, they would not back down against SM entertainment.

So what’s next for the boys? There may be possibility of continuing under Avex, but I can’t be so sure, that’s speculative.

SM finally states:

“The trio has agreed to carry out the schedule planned on basis of the basic contract between the company and the group before the court during the time when the trial was on going. But after part of the trial judgement came out, the trio said they will not participate or the coming concert performance on 21st November in Chin which is part of their Asian concert tour performances decided as of June 2008, and for subsequent concert performance, they have stated that they may not be participating for them.”

“We will decline the idea for the 3 to promote as Dong Bang Shin Ki. This will have adverse effects on our company’s artistes as well as concert performances scheduled in China.”

It all started with HOT and ended with TVXQ/DBSK. So will new people auditioning be fearful of SM? What will occur with the reputation and rumors that have grounds to persist now?
