These rules may be an explanation as to why the boys were so distant to each other in the 2009 Best Hits interview and performance.
1. (SM/Avex) Must keep a close watch through out the whole course (of promotions/activities).
2. There should not be any contact/conversation between Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu (the three who filed the lawsuit) and Yunho and Changmin.
3. Only Yunho and Changmin are allowed to respond during an interview.

And apparently,Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu had no prior notice of these rules when heading to Japan.
SMe must be striving to create disharmony in the group >:(.

wow..it’s really kill me..i don’t know what to respond..are they trying to kill their relationship too? 6 years..
I don’t think the boys will let this get to them…much. Hopefully. Afterall, 6+ years of friendship is quite hard to end, let alone over something as silly as this. I guess SMe just wants to keep the tension there, especially in front of fans :///.
