News excerpt, TVXQ!-related only: Entertainment Companies whom are Affected by the Enlistment of their artistes

TVXQ!’s U-Know Yunho has enlisted into the army on 7/21. On that same day, SM’s share price closed with 2.50% down. This was most probably due to the expected reduction in sales as a result of TVXQ! hiatus due to the absent of U-Know Yunho.

Last Year, TVXQ! in Japan alone has brought total sales of 3.691 billion yen (equivalent to 34 billion won then). This is an amount that ranked them at 5th place with the highest total sales in Japan (including local Japanese artistes).
