The girl group NewJeans has made a shocking announcement that they will terminate their exclusive contract with their agency, ADOR. This was officially announced at an emergency press conference held at Space Share in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at 8:30 PM on November 28.
The members of NewJeans declared, “We will terminate the exclusive contract with ADOR starting at midnight on the 29th,” and criticized ADOR for not fulfilling its obligation to protect the artists. They explained, “ADOR neither has the will nor the ability to protect NewJeans,” adding, “The current situation is mentally distressing, and there is no reason to stay any longer.”
Furthermore, regarding the relationship between HYBE and ADOR, they stated, “HYBE tries to shift the blame to ADOR, but they are one system,” emphasizing, “We cannot maintain a contract with ADOR, with whom the trust has been broken.” They added that none of their demands had been addressed, and said, “There are less than four hours left until midnight, and we will terminate the contract as soon as it reaches midnight.”
NewJeans plans to proceed with their existing schedule as planned, and regarding the penalty issues, they argued, “There is no reason to pay a penalty as this is due to a breach of contract.” They also revealed their determination to protect the team name NewJeans, stating, “The name NewJeans is not just a trademark, but a name that embodies our beginning and all our meanings,” promising to secure it.
Attention is focused on how this situation will unfold and what moves NewJeans will make in the future. Fans and the public are eagerly anticipating NewJeans’ next steps, watching with interest to see what results their courageous decision will bring.
