NewJeans is facing serious controversy after initiating a legal battle against their company, ADOR. The rookie girl group, which skyrocketed to fame with hits like ‘Attention‘ and ‘Hype Boy‘, is now seeking to terminate their contract due to claims of mistreatment.
The controversy began when the members filed to end their exclusive contract with ADOR, citing significant concerns over their treatment. ADOR responded by asserting that the contract remains valid and has not been violated.
Recently, a court ruling granted ADOR an injunction preventing NewJeans from carrying out independent activities. It’s now been over a year since the group has released new music, leading to the end of numerous sponsorships.
July 22 marks NewJeans’ 3rd anniversary, but their future is uncertain as the legal battle continues. ADOR released a statement, saying:
"We hope the recent ruling serves as a turning point for the members to return to their rightful place as NewJeans and resume their group activities."
"As NewJeans approaches their third debut anniversary next month, we will do our utmost to support their continued growth and success."
As the anniversary approaches, fans are reminiscing about NewJeans’ brief but impactful career. Reactions from netizens have been mixed. Some miss the group deeply:
"I miss them so much…"
"If you miss them, you should send a protest truck to tell them to go back to ADOR."
Others express frustration with the situation:
"Whether they win the lawsuit or not, I’ll see them in 3 years when their contract is over."
Meanwhile, several fans are growing impatient and questioning the members’ choices:
"It’s a shame, but I think they’ve already missed their chance…"
With sentiments running high, fans are left eagerly waiting for updates on NewJeans’ fate. Will they return to the stage, or will this be their last summer without new music?
