NewJeans Announces Official Position on Legal Dispute with ADOR

NewJeans has officially announced their stance on the legal dispute regarding their exclusive contract with their agency, ADOR. On the 6th, NewJeans members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein expressed, “We feel sorry to have to make this statement amidst such a chaotic situation.” They revealed that they recently heard through the media that ADOR had filed a lawsuit seeking confirmation that their exclusive contract with NewJeans remains valid.

NewJeans pointed out that ADOR has failed to properly argue that there was no breach of contract, and the company continues to insist that the contract cannot be terminated until their support and investment are recouped. In response, NewJeans countered by stating they have already returned profits exceeding the investment to ADOR and HYBE. NewJeans accused HYBE of attempting smear campaigns and reverse-virals to devalue them, criticizing ADOR for allowing this following a management change.

NewJeans emphasized that trust with ADOR and HYBE has been broken, and there is no reason to continue working together as specified in the exclusive contract. They also mentioned that they gave ADOR a 14-day grace period to correct the violations of the contract, but ADOR failed to make the necessary corrections. Consequently, NewJeans notified ADOR of the contract termination, which took immediate effect.

NewJeans firmly stated that they would no longer be affiliated with ADOR after November 29, 2024, and ADOR will not be able to interfere with their activities. They expressed deep regret over the attempts to defame them and spread false information while publicly announcing efforts to communicate and reconcile.

NewJeans mentioned that the road ahead may not be easy, but they aspire to live a life with their fans through healthy music activities and are determined to achieve that dream. They expressed gratitude for the support and asked for continued interest and love.

The upcoming legal procedures and their outcomes are expected to draw significant attention. The resolution of the conflict between NewJeans and ADOR remains to be seen.
