I've just read the article posted by piroko-san on the Japanese board.
Here is the summary:
The publisher has decided to postpone the release of Jiwoo's photo album as being advertised to an unknown date since Jiwoo's agency insisted it was no more than a drama guidebook of 101 Proposals shot in Mainland China last October.
His agency has also disclosed that a more thorough photo album by a different publisher to reflect Jiwoo's popularity and activities through his drama series, Winter Sonata and Beautiful Days will be released in Japan by the beginning of next year.
P.S. In my opinion, those Japanese publishers just want to grab some quick money out of Jiwoo's current uprising popularity as four Korean male stars have their photo albums released already in Japan and two more will be released in Dec.

Just want to correct that his should be read as her in my post above though I'm sure all of you know what I was talking about.
I think the agency did the right thing to stop the publisher from claiming the guidebook as a photo album unilaterally. On the other hand, the agency itself needs to safeguard their financial interests too. I think the Japanese press underestimated the agencies of the Korean stars that resulted in a series of similar troubles.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to her real photo album.
