TVXQ fans are planning to report SM Entertainment to the Fair Trade Committee for the violation of the Law of Fair Transaction.

DNBN, a TVXQ fan site, announced these plans on their notice board on the 6th under the title 'Information such as the Date and Time of Submission along with Updates Regarding the Fair Trade Committee'.

DNBN's side stated that, "The second round of petition collection has successfully ended," and "We will be submitting the petitions from the second round along with our report of SME to the Fair Trade Committee for the violation of the Law of Fair Transaction on the 9th at 1:30 pm. After wards we will be submitting these additional petitions to the Seoul District Courts."
