Many in the industry fear that the reason for the no shows is because their contracts already ran out. According to a law required report submitted by SM Entertainment a couple of years ago the contracts for all 3 SES members runs until November 27, 2002. Their 5.5 album was released on November 21. The reasoning is that Shoo is the only member who signed a contract extension so far. A look at the schedule posted at SES official site reveals that Shoo is the only member actively doing any TV activities. According to the schedule Shoo will also be the only member to appear at SM Town SMILE Concert on December 22 which is supposed to feature all the SM artists.SM Town 4th Winter album is also very telling. Bada and Eugene are nowhere to be found in the album旧 photo jacket or music video and while Shoo is featured in 3 of the songs traces of SES as a group are loudly missing. Bada does have a solo song called he Lord Prayer?included but it suspected that it only there because it was recorded before November 27. With SM Entertainment being suspiciously quiet about the SES situation fans are being highly skeptical especially after last year fiasco when group HOT broke up less than 3 months after declaring to the world together Forever.? Rumors are already flying that there旧 a press conference scheduled for January 2 to announce the breakup of the group. Anxious fans are hoping that the press conference is actually being held to announce contract extensions. Angry demands that SM sign contract extensions for the SES members are already filling SMTown.com旧 official message board. Whether or not that actually happens has yet to be seen. At the very least an announcement is expected soon after New Year旧. Comments made by Eugene in a July interview while acting in the KBS drama 潜oving You?are very revealing, 摂ach one of us have been thinking about our future ever since our debut. We can急 go on singing as SES forever nor do we want to drag this on without any thought. We want to show as various skills as possible. Even though our contracts with SM Entertainment ends at the end of the year no decision about SES?future has been made. SES debuted in November 1997 with I'm Your Girland instantly became the first largely successful girl group in Kpop in a time when the scene was dominated by boy groups. They are largely credited for paving the road for other female groups like Finkl and Baby VOX. Follow up news: According to the information submitted by SM Entertainment Shinhwa contract runs out on April 30, 2003 which gives them just enough time to do full album activities for their upcoming 6th album which looks like will be their last unless they all sign contract extensions. As a follow up note Fly to the Sky旧 contract is scheduled to expire on December 8, 2004 while Boa contract runs until 2005. -- -- ▌ ▁▌ ▌▁ ▌|情報員標號: swtp129-149.adsl.seed.net.tw |局中| ◤ ▌ ▌ ▌▃ ▌|隸屬☆單位: 中央情報局 (bbs.e-cia.net) |邑情| ◣
