On November 28th, NewJeans announced at an emergency press conference their intention to terminate their exclusive contract with ADOR starting at midnight on the 29th. In response, ADOR immediately refuted this, claiming that the exclusive contract remains valid.
Kim JuYoung, the CEO of ADOR, stated, “The members of ADOR have been in deep disappointment and sadness for the past 14 days,” and mentioned that they have been carefully reviewing and preparing responses to the demands of the NewJeans members. He added that they have been diligently preparing plans for activities next year and wish to proceed in a positive direction with NewJeans. He also expressed his hope to have the opportunity to speak directly with the members.
Meanwhile, NewJeans has declared the termination of their exclusive contract, firmly insisting that their relationship with ADOR can no longer continue. In this situation, ADOR has emphasized their desire to resolve misunderstandings through dialogue and consultation, asserting that they have made every effort to meet NewJeans’ demands.
Many fans and industry insiders are watching closely to see if a dialogue between the two parties can occur and what the outcome might be. There is growing interest in how this incident will be resolved and what direction NewJeans’ future activities will take. Depending on how the situation unfolds, it may also have significant implications for the K-pop market.
