On November 12, ADOR released an official statement that read, "NewJeans’ members Haerin and Hyein have expressed their intent to continue their activities with ADOR. After careful consideration and thorough discussions with their families, the two members have decided to respect the court’s ruling and uphold their exclusive contracts. ADOR will do our utmost so that Haerin and Hyein can continue their entertainment activities smoothly. We ask for the fans’ warm support and urge everyone to refrain from making unfounded speculations about the members."What does it mean for NewJeans? Wil it split?
As of now, there is no update regarding the remaining three members - Minji, Hanni, and Danielle. Whether they will return to ADOR or continue with their independent activities will determine the future of NewJeans.Back in November last year, NewJeans shocked fans by announcing in a sudden press conference that they were leaving ADOR, claiming the company hadn’t fixed the problems they had raised. ADOR responded by insisting their contracts were still valid and took the matter to court in December.By February, the members tried to move forward under a new name, NJZ, planning to continue their work separately. However, in March, the court sided with ADOR and stopped them from doing any activities outside the label.The group appealed the decision, but on October 30, the Seoul Central District Court once again ruled in ADOR’s favor, confirming that NewJeans’ original contracts remain legally binding.Do you find this article useful?
