ADOR makes a request to the press to use the name NewJeans instead of NJZ.
ADOR stated, "NewJeans members have announced plans to use a group name that was not agreed upon with ADOR, causing confusion among reporters. The exclusive contracts between NewJeans members and ADOR still remain legally valid, and claims that it has been terminated are unilateral assertions."
They continued, "We have filed for an injunction to affirm ADOR's status as the group's management company under the exclusive contract, along with a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract, and we are currently awaiting the court's decision. We ask reporters to use the official team name 'NewJeans' when writing articles as it is the legally recognized name under the contract," emphasizing the importance of exclusive contracts in the entertainment industry.
ADOR said, "We ask for your cooperation in ensuring accurate news coverage. We will do our best to put an end to the confusion as soon as possible and continue to deliver great music and content."
The following is the full statement from ADOR:
Hello, this is ADOR.
We would like to address regarding the use of NewJeans' group name.
On February 7, the NewJeans members announced plans to use a group name that was not agreed upon with ADOR, causing confusion among reporters and resulting in numerous inquiries.
The exclusive contracts between NewJeans members and ADOR still remain legally valid, and claims that it has been terminated are unilateral assertions.
We have filed for an injunction to affirm ADOR's status as the group's management company under the exclusive contract, along with a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract, and we are currently awaiting the court's decision.
We ask reporters to use the official team name 'NewJeans' when writing articles as it is the legally recognized name under the contract.
We ask that reporters, who understand the importance of exclusive contracts in the entertainment industry more than anyone else, cooperate to ensure accurate reporting.
We will do our best to put an end to the confusion as soon as possible and continue to deliver great music and content.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is legendary pathetic behavior.
-Goosebumps.
-Make the same request to CNN~~~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ NJZ fighting!
-Weren't they the ones who said they were going to discard NewJeans and start afreshㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Go ahead and do it!!!
-What makes you think you have the rights to request that? NJZ🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 What kind of nonsense request is this?
-Who do they think they are?? NJZ is not even their artists anymore. So why are they still trying to tell the girls what to and not to do?
-Truly evil.
-This is honestly creepy. They’re like crazy stalkers. Why won’t they stop when the members clearly don’t want this?
-They’re probably going to keep harassing the girls nonstop...
-NJZ sounds way cooler anyway.
-Why are they so f*cking obsessed? Our Angels will win.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah this is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It makes sense though. The girls are still under contract, so technically, they're still NewJeans.
-Who do they think they are?? So clingy.
-Shut up, ADOR.
