Revisit the watershed 40-month legal dispute between SM Entertainment and former TVXQ members, thathas seen a repeat attempt by three EXO members recently.
Synopsis: Can I Tell You Something Crazy is a new scripted series every month under the #PopVultures banner, which examines with fresh eyes, events that shook Asian media and entertainment.
In 2009, the five-man K-pop boy band TVXQ were on top of the world. Their fourth album Mirotic was the best-selling album of 2008 in South Korea, with over half a million copies sold, while the hit title track Mirotic swept wins at awards shows and gained fans around the world.
With 800,000 fans in their Korean fan club - the most of any K-pop group at the time - and 200,000 fans in their Japanese fan club, TVXQ were superstars. As one of the earliest breakout K-pop groups of the Hallyu wave in the early 2000s, they were the first Korean act to headline a concert in Malaysia and the first Korean group invited to perform at the Japanese New Year's Eve music programme Kohaku Uta Gassen.
But everything came to a halt in July 2009.
At the peak of their popularity, three members of the group - Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu, who would later come to be known as JYJ - sued their management agency SM Entertainment and asked to be let go from their contracts. But fellow members U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, insisted on staying with the company, splitting the group's considerable fandom in two.
Hot on the heels of the recent attempt by three members of another SM Entertainment group - Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin of EXO - to terminate their contracts with the company, #PopVultures host Jan Lee revisits the watershed 40-month legal dispute between SM Entertainment and former TVXQ members.
With the help of K-pop scholar and senior lecturer at Macquarie University Dr Thomas Baudinette, she examines the aftershocks the case left on the industry, which can still be felt even today.

Are football's super-rich owners killing the game? We discuss if fans should care.
Synopsis: Every fourth Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times dives into a sports topic and tackles the hard questions with its guests on Hard Tackle.
Manchester United fans around the world are mostly ecstatic that the Glazers may finally sell the club. The American family’s ownership of the club has been marred by fan protests, huge debts and poor performance on the pitch.
While Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and British entrepreneur Sir Jim Ratcliffe remain as frontrunners in the takeover race, fans of the Red Devils have been caught up in a moral conundrum. It is a similar situation that Manchester City and Newcastle United fans have previously found themselves in.
In this episode, ST sports reporter Deepanraj Ganesan hosts Deloitte Asia-Pacific's sport business group leader James Walton and assistant ST Now editor Sazali Abdul Aziz.
Listen to a passionate debate on why fans should care and why football ownership is in the spotlight.
Highlights (click/tap above):
1:15 Why are football clubs attractive to businessmen and investors ?
10:00 Are Manchester United fans justified in wanting new owners?
15:30 How Sazali - as a Newcastle United fan - feel about new owners from the Middle East?
23:40 Should a fan care about something he has no control over, such as who owns his or her club?
33:40 Football is past the point of no return, when it comes to foreign football ownership and the lack of checks and balances

Pakistan’s economy is in dire straits, its political and security situation volatile - and it is in a spot as India becomes more important to Washington.
Synopsis: Every fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh presents an Asian perspective of the biggest global talking points with expert guests.
Former prime minister of Pakistan Imran Khan’s arrest in May triggered riots as his supporters attacked installations and the headquarters of the Pakistan army which had once supported him. This came as the economy, hit last year by a massive flood disaster, is in the doldrums and awaiting a bailout.
The Pakistani Taliban has also stepped up its attacks, and on the foreign front, India and the United States are deepening their relationship. Pakistan remains resilient, but not successful.
Find out why, as Nirmal Ghosh hosts Mr Husain Haqqani, Pakistan‘s former ambassador to the US and currently diplomat-in-residence at the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy in Abu Dhabi, and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington.
Highlights (click/tap above):
2:07 Why we must first understand the political layout and the military's role in Pakistan, a country of 230 million people and a nuclear power
4:30 Imran Khan's cult-like following; military wanted good relations with the US but Imran Khan had anti-American sentiments
9:15 How vulnerable is Pakistan? Why the military is a political reality, so they need to be part of any national reconciliation
15:25 After US has chosen India as its big Asian partner, find out why Pakistan should resolve issues with India

How to create safer, healthier online environments to protect children.
Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.
In May, the United States surgeon general Dr Vivek Murthy, who is known as the nation’s doctor, issued an advisory on social media and youth mental health to warn young people of the possible effects of excessive social media use.
Dr Murthy said that social media started only about a decade ago and there is not enough research at the moment to show that it is safe for adolescents and children.
He thus issued a call for not just families and young people, but policymakers, technology companies, and researchers to gain a better understanding of the full impact of social media use, to maximise the benefits and minimise the harms of social media platforms, and create safer, healthier online environments to protect children.
In Singapore, it is not uncommon to see upper primary school children with their own mobile phones. Some teachers use WhatsApp to communicate with their secondary school students.
In this episode, ST's senior health correspondent Joyce Teo hosts Ms Joanne Wong, the head of Touch Cyber Wellness, a service of Touch Community Services, about the issues that she sees in Singapore, and what parents and young people can do to protect themselves.
Highlights (click/tap above):
2:29 Youth social media consumption issues in Singapore
4:41 Signs of excessive social media use
7:51 How parents can help children understand the importance of having a life outside of social media
13:15 Cyber wellness issues in Singapore

The Asian Development Bank is trying to bring green power to the people while curbing climate risks. It’s a huge challenge.
Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
Asia is the economic engine of the world. This powerhouse region is growing quickly and so are its energy demands.
Millions of people still do not have access to electricity or clean cooking stoves. And its growing economies need affordable and reliable energy to power the region’s burgeoning industries.
But Asia is also the world’s top source of greenhouse gas emissions heating up the planet. And these emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels, are driving more severe flooding, droughts, fires and higher seas that are taking a huge toll on the region.
So how to bring power to the people without cooking the region and the planet?
In this episode, ST's climate editor David Fogarty speaks with Dr Priyantha Wijayatunga, chief of the energy sector group at the Asian Development Bank, who is leading the ADB’s efforts to fund the region’s multi-trillion dollar energy transition.
Highlights of conversation (click/tap above):
1:22 What is the climate and energy challenge in Asia?
5:59 Is it possible to meet the region’s energy needs while reducing the climate risks?
13:25 Are you the man in the hot seat driving the region’s green transition for the bank?
14:47 For SE Asia, what’s the current trend for green energy investment?
16:31 What is the ADB’s US$100 billion climate fund and how is it working?

Synopsis: Every second Monday of the month, the new Career Talk podcast by The Straits Times helps you take charge of your own career and make your ambition pay off.
