Eunjung who is currently busy promoting in Japan with her group has heard the news about the sanctions against Five Fingers' production and upon knowing it she told the Korean Entertainment Management Association (KEMA) that she just want to forget it all and asked the agency to withdraw the boycott against Five Fingers' production company named YEINEMN. .
On the 16th of November, KEMA revealed "A sudden change in variable occurred after the news spread that we had sent out documents [regarding YEINEMN to our members], right now, our procedure is put on halt", they continued with "It is because T-ara's Eunjung, who is currently promoting in Japan, has requested KEMA to withdraw the sanctions against Five Fingers’ production company YEINEMN regarding the dispute about her being forced off the drama"
It was revealed that Eunjung expressed, "Putting aside right or wrong, I want to put down everything related to Five Fingers and forget it all. If the sanctions against the production company can be withdrawn, then let’s just pretend as if this did not happen".
Because of Eunjung's request KEMA is currently figuring out how to solve this problem. YEINEMN had forced an actor to leave after completion of contract singing, poster shooting, script reading and the press conference, so this cannot be seen only as a problem between one actor and one production company. To prevent similar things from happening again in the future, KEMA decided to respond by taking boycotting measures. Another related person said "Although Eunjung’s opinion should be placed first in resolving this issue, but from KEMA’s perspective, there also needs to be measures put into place to prevent this from happening again in the future".
Also on the 16th, KEMA delivered documents to its members and member companies (around 130) regarding Five Finger’s unilateral termination of Eunjung. The document said “We were determined to rectify the normal drama production relations and had requested for the actor’s return to the drama and for an undertaking not to allow such things to happen again, but YEIN as usual remained silent, avoiding responsibility and deceiving our Association”, “We hope that our members will confirm with our Association first before deciding to appear in YEINEMN productions. It is our plan to implement this for 2 years (until December 2014)." [In effect meaning that without any special reasons, KEMA members should not appear in YEINEMN dramas.]
This measure is the follow up to the sudden termination of Eunjung from SBS’s drama Five Fingers last August. At the time, EKMA and the Korean Broadcasting and Actors Union (KBAU) had, on the 28th, issued its protests against SBS and Five Fingers’ production company YEINEMN for forcing Eunjung off the drama. YEINEMN had also expressed its stance, stating that it would take strong legal measures if Eunjung’s side continues to make unreasonable propositions. The two sides were always in opposition.
Meanwhile Eunjung also expressed, "I do not want more people to be harmed because of me. Thinking back, the production company could have suffered a lot of damage because of me. Although I am grateful for KEMA's decision to protect actors, now that it is all in the past, I hope this can end well." While a representative from CCM also added, "Although we were very angry at the time, it is already in the past. Eunjung wants to greet everyone in a good production in the future. She hopes that this incident can end smoothly and satisfactorily".
