On the same day, NewJeans announced their return to activities with the new group name 'NJZ.' In response, ADOR stated, "We deeply regret that the members made this unilateral decision before a legal judgment was made regarding the validity of the exclusive contracts with ADOR."
Emphasizing their commitment to protecting NewJeans' brand value, ADOR stated, "We want to once again inform that we are always ready to meet with NewJeans' members or their legal representatives to clear up any misunderstandings and also to discuss the future plans for the group."
NewJeans and ADOR have been in conflict over their exclusive contracts since last year. Currently, NewJeans claims that the exclusive contract has been terminated due to ADOR's fault. In a press conference about the termination, NewJeans members claimed that ADOR failed to fulfill its duty to manage the group. The group also explained that they had given ADOR 14 days to make corrections, but the agency failed to do so, and left issues unresolved.
ADOR, however, insists that the contract remains valid. In December last year, the company filed a lawsuit with the Seoul Central District Court to confirm the validity of the exclusive contracts and later requested an injunction to prohibit the group from signing contracts or engaging in promotional activities under different management. The legal battle is set to begin in full next month.
-Didn't NewJeans already give them a f*cking long time...?
-Just let them go...
-Weren't they the ones saying they were going to discard NewJeans and start afresh?
-ADOR treated NewJeans so poorly while they worked together, and now they're acting like it's just some misunderstanding?ㅠ Just start afresh like you said you were gonna do.
-NewJeans gave you enough time. Just stop now.
-Stop this. At this point, ADOR is hurting its own reputation more than NewJeans'.
-Always with the same pathetic excuses...ㅋㅋㅋ
-ADOR is only saying this because it's going to benefit them in the court... They don't actually mean it.
-What NewJeans is doing is actually very risky... But I'm sure they know what they're doing.
-They're kids. Just leave them alone. Does ADOR really need to ruin their entire lives like this?
-Ah... GTFO. Look at them clinging like there's no tomorrow, it's disgusting. They're acting like some desperate ex.
-I wonder what they've actually done to try to resolve the so-called misunderstanding.
-Just shut up and disappear.
-Fake ADOR is still at it. Why are they doing this? They're basically strangers now.
