Dolphin Kidnappers' Director Shin Wooseok has begun legal action against ADOR.
According to SPOTV News on the 8th, Director Shin Wooseok filed a complaint with the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul on the 4th, accusing ADOR CEO Kim Jooyoung, who is also HYBE's CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer), and Deputy CEO Lee Dokyung of defamation in violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.
As NewJeans' agency, ADOR, now led by new management after the departure of former CEO Min Heejin, faces internal conflicts with HYBE, Director Shin revealed that ADOR demanded the deletion of NewJeans-related videos and other content.
However, ADOR responded by stating that they only requested the removal of 'ETA' MV Director's Cut due to previous disagreements with the advertiser, and denied having requested the removal of all NewJeans-related videos.
The controversy over the removal of NewJeans-related videos intensified as both sides have different claims. Director Shin expressed his anger as he claimed that ADOR manipulated the media with lies and threatened him with a notice that attached proof of him demanding double the service fees. While ADOR argued that it was Dolphin Kidnappers and Director Shin who breached the contract.
Following this, Director Shin accused ADOR of manipulating the situation while attempting to coerce him privately. He warned, "I will provide recordings, emails, and documents as needed and file a defamation lawsuit against CEO Kim Jooyoung and Deputy CEO Lee Dokyung." Eventually, he chose to pursue legal action to prove the truth.
