K-pop girl group NewJeans has issued a sudden demand to HYBE and Chairman Bang Sihyuk, calling for the return of Min Heejin by the 25th. This has led to speculation within the music industry that the group may be considering terminating their exclusive contract.
Given that it's practically difficult for HYBE to meet the demand for Min Heejin's return, there is a possibility that the members may file for a provisional injunction to suspend the contract after the 25th.
If this happens, the whole thing could escalate into a full-blown "NewJeans exclusive contract dispute."

-Honestly, this whole situation would end if only Bang Sihyuk stops. He doesn't even bother to protect or respect them as his artists. Do you really think he would fulfill NewJeans' wish? Anyway, I'm rooting for NewJeans.
-HYBE is really incompetent. They made a big mess in April and still haven’t resolved it, causing this chaos in September.
-If the girls stay quiet, they won’t be given proper activities and promotions anyway, so they should try something. NewJeans knows their own situation best.
-Fighting, NewJeans. This is really upsetting.
-I'm rooting for NewJeans a lot. But I wonder if they get involved in a lawsuit and the legal dispute drags on, is there a possibility they won’t be able to come back to the industry for a long time, just like JYJ?ㅠㅠ I really hope they continue to be activeㅠㅠ
-HYBE has committed a lot of acts of mismanagement, breach of trust, and concealmentㄷㄷㄷ
-NewJeans is reaching out to HYBE, asking for things to return back to normal. Is it really that difficult for HYBE-ya? Please, stop being petty and work together.
-Regardless of the situation, legally it's challenging. If it goes to a lawsuit, it could be the worst case.
-Remaining silent would mean just accepting things as they are and ending with termination of the contract. I think it’s great that they’ve come out and directly requested something, even if it’s heartbreaking. They’ve shared their difficulties and made a record of their requests. Now, it’s all or nothing, and I support all five of them until the end.
-NewJeans, stay strong.
-They should file a lawsuit.
-Let’s just leave HYBE.
-Since it’s unlikely for HYBE to reinstate Min Heejin, a lawsuit seems inevitable.
