Hello, this is Source Music.
We would like to clarify and correct the false claims among the contents regarding our company and artists that were raised today.
LE SSERAFIM did not receive any special treatment or unfair advantages in the process of being selected as an ambassador for a specific brand. Their connection with the brand began in April 2022 when Sakura signed a contract with them. Following the satisfying result, a discussion of expanding the ambassadorship to a team-level was initiated through the brand's Japan office, and it eventually was agreed upon. This process was completely unrelated to any other artists. We have objective evidence to prove this and are fully prepared to provide legal explanations at any time if necessary.
Additionally, the claims regarding NewJeans’ debut timeline and process are also very different from the actual facts. Our company fully supported NewJeans members in their debut preparations until they were transferred to ADOR. However, former ADOR CEO Min Heejin spread false information during her press conference last April. In response, we filed a damages lawsuit against former CEO Min Heejin last July and the case is currently ongoing. We deeply regret that these one-sided claims were made without any effort to verify the facts and we expect that these claims will be corrected through future trials.
Mentioning an artist's real name based on unconfirmed and inaccurate information is an irresponsible and serious act that shouldn't be done to any artist. One-sided claims like this not only cause fellow artists to receive criticism, but also create misconceptions among fans and the public, and there's also a risk of creating an environment where unfounded rumors spread uncontrollably.
We take this situation very seriously and will take all necessary legal actions to address it.
Thank you.
Source Music.
-Does it make sense to refer to someone without mentioning their real name in court?
-Who even asked for Source Music's opinion?
-Who censors names in court...?
-If they think their own artists are precious, they should know that other artists are precious for their own companies as well. Just thinking about that leaked report still makes my blood boil.
-Why did you harass them in the first place then? You shouldn't have done things that will get you called outㅋㅋ Tsk tsk.
-? Are you saying they should censor names in court?
-Were they supposed to say 'LE-Blank-Blank-Blank' in court then????????
-Why are they even releasing a statement like they did nothing wrong?
-Why do something that would get exposed in court in the first place?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Just stay quiet. They always start talking first and dig their own graveㅠㅠ
-They’re seriously insane.
-This company is beyond hopelessㅋㅋㅋ
-You’re the ones who filed the lawsuit, but now you’re acting like the victims.
-Please think before putting out news articles.
-They sound panicked here… They’ve already lost.
