NewJeans has been in the spotlight recently for delivering a heartfelt message to fans despite ongoing conflicts with their agency, ADOR.
On November 16, at the first Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA) held at the Incheon Inspire Arena, NewJeans received the prestigious Grand Artist Award. During the acceptance speech, leader Minji stated, “It has been two years since our debut,” and shared, “We have become a stronger team through many experiences.” She encouraged fans by saying, “We will continue to come back with great music and a new image, so please look forward to it.”
Hanni expressed gratitude towards their fandom, Bunnies, saying, “We don’t know how long we will remain as NewJeans, but nothing can come between us and Bunnies.” Daniel further showed a strong bond with fans by proclaiming, “Even if we’re not NewJeans, NewJeans is eternal.”
On November 13, NewJeans had sent a formal notice to ADOR, demanding the rectification of exclusive contract violations, with a threat to terminate the contract if their demands were not met, and called for the return of former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin. This KGMA event marked NewJeans’ first public appearance amid these conflicts. Some analysts speculate that their remarks might relate to their ongoing contract dispute or a potential group name change.
In response to receiving the formal notice, ADOR stated they are “currently identifying specific requests and will do their best to maintain continuous cooperation with the artists.”
The resolution of the conflict between NewJeans and ADOR and how they will continue their close relationship with fans is drawing attention. Fans are expected to keep supporting NewJeans’ future endeavors.
