On December 5, ADOR announced that they filed a lawsuit to “confirm the validity of our exclusive contract with NewJeans.”

They released an official statement revealing their position.

“Hello, this is ADOR. On December 3, we filed a lawsuit to receive legal confirmation that our exclusive contract with NewJeans is still valid.

Although we did not want this issue to be resolved through a legal judgment, we decided because we felt it was necessary to confirm to the artists that the contract cannot be terminated based on one party’s claim.

Above all, we wanted to receive judgment from the court to protect the foundation of the K-Pop industry and Korean pop culture, which was built on trust between artists and companies.

K-Pop today has been created from the artist’s talent and efforts and the company’s investment and know-how. In uncertain circumstances, it is essential that the company’s support is provided in advance for a long time, especially in the K-Pop industry.”

They also emphasized that they remain unchanged in working with NewJeans.

“ADOR’s position on working with NewJeans remains unchanged. Aside from seeking judgment for the contract’s validity, we believe sincere discussions with the members are necessary.

Despite our repeated requests, we still haven’t had the chance to speak with the artists. We will continue to resolve misunderstandings between the artists and the company. We will do our best to repay the fans by providing better activities. We ask for your support so that we can overcome this issue.”
