In an urgent press conference held in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, the girl group NewJeans announced their decision to terminate their exclusive contract with their agency, ADOR. The members of NewJeans emphasized that they bear no responsibility for the penalties associated with the contract’s termination, asserting that all accountability lies with HYBE and ADOR.
On the afternoon of the 28th, NewJeans members MinJi, HaNi, Danielle, HaeRin, and HyeIn declared at a press conference held at the Space Share Samseong Station Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, that they would terminate their contract with ADOR at midnight. They stressed that the breach of contract is the responsibility of HYBE and ADOR, and they are not obligated to pay any penalties.
Particularly, HaeRin stated, “We have never violated the contract and have worked tirelessly until now. ADOR and HYBE violated the contract leading to the current situation, and all responsibility lies with them.”
MinJi criticized, “The statement from ADOR yesterday was merely formal. Our demands were not properly met.” She continued, “We felt a lack of sincerity towards us and an unwillingness to fulfill our requests,” affirming their firm stance that the contract would be terminated at midnight.
On the 13th, NewJeans had sent a content-certified mail under their real names to ADOR, demanding the rectification of significant breaches within 14 days. They conveyed their intention to terminate the contract if ADOR did not comply and requested a response by the 28th.
Attention is focused on what steps NewJeans will take next and how HYBE and ADOR will respond to this situation. Continued attention is necessary to see what impact NewJeans’ decision will have on the K-POP industry.
