It seems we finally have word from the company that seems to be tangled in this mess. When the TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki controversy first began, the three members and their lawyers clearly stated that the three members’ investments in the CreBeau cosmetics line did not have any relevance to the court case. The core of the controversy was the legal issues of the slave contract. In SM Entertainment’s opening statement, they stated that the lawsuit was because of the cosmetics issue. To clear up the confusion, Kang Suk Won , the President of the Korean branch of CreBeau ( Wishop Plus ) was interviewed. Kang has already sued SME’s CEO Kim Young Min for slander to the Seoul Central Court on October 4th, 2009. Kang said, “Although this case is obviously to fight the unfair profit splits and the conflict between the members and SME, SME is trying to push the blame onto CreBeau.” Kang went on to reveal that the three members have only invested approximately 70,000 dollars, 60,000 dollars, and 40,000 dollars respectively. This amount, he said, was not enough to earn the three members rights to ownership of the business, let alone a big part of the profit. Kang said, “In May 2009, some SME representatives visited the original branch of CreBeau Cosmetics in China twice.
