NewJeans and Ador’s Exclusive Contract Dispute: The Conflict’s Details and Future Outlook

Recently, NewJeans has been embroiled in a contract termination lawsuit with their agency Ador, drawing significant attention from fans. NewJeans officially responded to the lawsuit filed by Ador, which claims the validity of their exclusive contract. They stated that Ador has failed to properly assert any contract violations and merely insists that the contract cannot be terminated until the company recoups its support and investments.

Despite having already returned profits exceeding the investment to both Ador and HYBE, NewJeans criticized HYBE for allegedly attempting to devalue the group through malicious actions. They also claimed that Ador has neglected to address these issues following a management change. Considering these circumstances, NewJeans assessed that they are likely to suffer more harm.

NewJeans emphasized that their trust in Ador and HYBE had collapsed due to their failure to protect the artists and repeated breaches of contract terms. Citing a clause in the exclusive contract that allows termination if Ador fails to fulfill its contractual obligations, NewJeans announced that they had notified of the contract termination, which took immediate effect.

NewJeans clarified that as of November 29, 2024, they are no longer affiliated with Ador, and Ador cannot interfere with their activities. They acknowledged that the path ahead might not be easy but expressed their dream of sharing a life with fans through healthy music activities. They also hoped that the legal proceedings would reveal the reasons for Ador’s contract breaches.

The conflict between NewJeans and Ador originated from issues between HYBE and its former subsidiary Ador’s management. The situation, which has escalated into a legal battle amid disputes over management rights and concept plagiarism, is attracting significant attention. It appears that fans and the industry will continue to closely follow the developments.
