NewJeans Reasserts Termination of Contract with ADOR, Escalating Tensions

The group NewJeans has once again officially announced the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR, further intensifying conflicts with their agency. The members of NewJeans have declared that, as of November 29, 2024, ADOR will no longer be their agency and have strongly stated that ADOR cannot interfere with their activities.

Previously, NewJeans had announced their intention to terminate their contract with ADOR and forecast independent activities. However, ADOR has shown its determination to confirm the contract’s validity through legal proceedings, claiming that the contract remains in effect. In response, NewJeans has countered that ADOR is unable to properly assert any breach of contract and is merely reiterating that termination is impossible until the company’s investment is recouped.

NewJeans claims to have already returned profits exceeding the amount invested by ADOR and HYBE, and alleged that HYBE attempted various hindrances to devalue them. Furthermore, they criticized ADOR for allowing this after a change in management and stated that their trust in ADOR and HYBE, which failed to fulfill their obligation to protect their artists, has already collapsed.

Emphasizing a clause in their exclusive contract that allows for termination if ADOR fails to fulfill its obligations, NewJeans criticized the imposition of five more years of work as irrational and inhumane. They also pointed out that ADOR’s lawsuit is merely a procedure to retrospectively obtain court confirmation, expressing deep regret over ADOR’s statement misleading the public.

NewJeans remains committed to fulfilling their remaining schedule with ADOR, expressing their regret over the unreasonable treatment faced by managers and staff. They conveyed a desire to be courageous and healthy individuals, dreaming of a life shared with their fans. Although a challenging path lies ahead, NewJeans is determined to continue building relationships with fans through their music activities.

There is significant public interest in how the conflict between NewJeans and ADOR will unfold and how their aspirations for independent activities will be realized.
