History

2003–2023: Debut as TVXQ! and JYJ, Palmtree Island and iNKODE

Kim Jae-joong and Xia Jun-su, along with Park Yoo-chun, debuted as part of the five-member boy group TVXQ! under SM Entertainment in 2003. In 2009, the trio filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, seeking to terminate their contracts due to alleged unfair contract, and unfair profit distribution.[1] [2] The case was resolved in their favour,[3] [4] [5] and they left SM Entertainment to form JYJ in 2010[6] with CJeS Entertainment.[7]

JYJ continued to be active until 2015, and after completing their mandatory military service in 2018, Yoo-chun was removed from the group due to multiple incriminating allegations.[8] [9] [10] [11] Subsequently, CJeS Entertainment announced his retirement from the entertainment industry.[12] [13]

In 2021, Xia Jun-su left CJeS Entertainment and established his own agency, Palmtree Island.[14] Jae-joong also left CJeS Entertainment in 2023 and founded his own agency, iNKODE.[15]
