At an urgent press conference recently held in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, the group NewJeans announced their intention to terminate their exclusive contract with their agency, ADOR, starting at midnight on the 28th. As a result, ADOR has filed a lawsuit with the Seoul Central District Court to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract.
On December 3rd, ADOR stated, “We are taking legal steps to confirm that the exclusive contract with our artist NewJeans is still valid,” emphasizing that a contract between a company and an artist cannot be terminated based on mere claims. They added, “This decision was made to prevent potential confusion and damage in the domestic and international industry that could arise from the contract termination.”
While NewJeans members Minji, Hanni, Daniel, Hae-rin, and HyeIn have already notified the termination of their exclusive contract, ADOR expressed their desire to continue collaborating with the artists. “ADOR aims to maintain continuous communication for mutual growth with NewJeans,” they added, “and will strive to resolve any unnecessary misunderstandings with the artists.”
This legal dispute is expected to once again highlight the importance of trust and contracts between artists and agencies in the K-pop industry. Fans and industry insiders are closely watching the direction this situation will take. How ADOR and NewJeans will overcome this situation and their future moves are attracting a lot of attention.
