On the 12th, Danielle's legal representative, Hwawoo Law Group, announced that she will be holding a 'Live Message' session at 7 PM today to meet fans directly through her personal social media channels.
This 'Live Message' is meant to be a space for Danielle to personally share updates and her sincere feelings to fans who have stayed by her side for a long time. It will be broadcast live through her personal Youtube channel and Instagram.
Through this session, Danielle plans to express deep gratitude to both domestic and international fans who have continuously shown her support and love, as well to share updates on her current situation, and check in on how her fans are doing.
Danielle's representatives stated, "We would like to clarify that this live broadcast is purely for communication with fans and is not related to the ongoing lawsuit."
Meanwhile, ADOR announced the termination of Danielle's exclusive contract last month. ADOR stated, "In Danielle's case, we have determined that it would be difficult for her to continue as a member of NewJeans and an artist under ADOR. Therefore, we notified her today of the termination of her exclusive contract. Furthermore, we plan to hold one member of Danielle's family and former CEO Min Heejin legally responsible for causing this dispute and also for NewJeans' departure and delayed return."
Regarding the lawsuit, ADOR stated, "We plan to file a lawsuit for penalty for breach of contract and damages against Danielle today. While it is difficult to provide specific details as the case is still in progress, we notified her of the termination because there were actions that violated the exclusive contract, such as signing contracts that conflict with this exclusive agreement, engaging in independent entertainment activities, and damaging the reputation and credibility of the company and NewJeans. We have demanded these to be corrected, but no correction was made within the given period. Therefore, we notified her of the termination."
1. [+231][-139] From the start, in this fight between Min Heejin and HYBE, it's only the young girls who get hurt. What's all this talk about settlements? There's revenue, so of course they should be paid. This is not dereliction of duty. Even in normal office life, people quit when there's conflict. It's just a matter of perspective. This is not the Joseon Dynasty where you can treat people however you want just because the state protects you from invasions. No matter how successful K-pop is, human rights have to come with it.
2. [+180][-108] It's so sad how only the young girls suffer from this fight between adults... What did they do wrong? They've probably had no social experience since they've lived as trainees since they were young.
3. [+176][-106] If she really did something wrong, just make her return what she was paid for the work she did. But 40 billion KRW? If that request is upheld, it would ruin a person's life. This is just too much. K-pop needs to mature.
4. [+139][-61] Honestly, what a waste of talent... I thought it was nice that even older listeners could easily get into their songs among other girl groups.
