At an emergency press conference, the members of NewJeans announced their intention to terminate their exclusive contracts with ADOR, citing unresolved disputes. This decision follows a legal notice they served to ADOR earlier, requesting rectification of alleged violations of their agreements. The members—Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein—stated that failure to address these issues within 14 days could lead to legal action.
Key concerns raised include management practices and controversial internal statements from HYBE’s reports, which reportedly proposed “starting anew” with a different group concept. Additionally, NewJeans highlighted the emotional toll of baseless rumors targeting their families, warning of legal repercussions against defamation. The press conference emphasized their desire to retain the group’s identity and protect their professional and personal reputations.
ADOR responded briefly, acknowledging the situation but refraining from detailed comments pending further discussions. Fans and industry insiders are closely monitoring the developments, speculating on the future of the group and its potential impact on K-pop’s landscape.
