The K-pop group NewJeans recently made headlines by announcing the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR. Despite this, they continue to fulfill scheduled activities with ADOR, raising curiosity among fans.
On the 3rd, NewJeans returned from their schedule in Japan, arriving at Gimpo International Airport with bright smiles. The members waved to the press, appearing relaxed, accompanied by ADOR staff. This demonstrates NewJeans’ firm stance on proceeding with promised schedules without disruption, despite declaring contract termination.
On the 29th of last month, NewJeans officially announced the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR and immediately headed to Japan. They participated in a live broadcast on TV Asahi’s ‘Music Station’ and continue to follow through with their planned activities. Notably, on the 7th, they will appear as guests at Japanese singer YOASOBI’s concert in Korea, and are scheduled to appear on Fuji TV’s ‘2024 FNS Music Festival’, KBS ‘Music Bank Global Festival’, SBS ‘Gayo Daejeon’, and the 39th Golden Disc Awards.
In an emergency press conference, NewJeans explained the reason for terminating the contract with ADOR, stating, “ADOR has neither the will nor the ability to protect us,” and “we will now continue with activities we truly desire.” However, they showed a responsible attitude by stating, “We will proceed with all previously promised schedules without disruption.” Regarding penalty issues, they claimed, “We have not violated the contract; the responsibility lies with HYBE and ADOR.” Additionally, they expressed strong determination regarding the use of the name NewJeans.
ADOR responded to NewJeans’ press conference by stating that it was “conducted without sufficient review” and that “the exclusive contract is still valid.” They also expressed disappointment, noting that “requests to meet with the artists were not successful.”
Meanwhile, the Korea Management Federation criticized the situation by stating it is “negatively affecting the popular culture and arts industry” and criticized the contract termination claim. They emphasized the importance of contracts based on mutual trust and deemed NewJeans’ claims as unreasonable.
There is keen interest in how NewJeans will continue their activities moving forward and how their relationship with ADOR will unfold. Fans are hopeful for NewJeans to successfully navigate this new challenge.
