Looks like NJZ just dropped an important update!
NJZ has officially responded to the recent court decision regarding ADOR’s injunction. Get this—things are getting serious!
On May 30, KST, the Seoul Central District Court’s 52nd Civil Affairs Department revealed that NJZ can’t be active without getting a green light from ADOR. If the members ignore this ruling, they reportedly have to cough up ₩1.00 billion KRW (about $723,000 USD) for each violation. Ouch!
NJZ (NewJeans) Must Pay A Hefty Fee For Every Promotion
NJZ’s legal team didn’t hold back with their statement, saying this ruling is just a temporary bump in the road, and they’re still optimistic about winning their appeal against the original injunction.
Today’s indirect compulsory enforcement decision stems from a petition filed by ADOR on April 4 as a follow-up to the original injunction issued on March 21, which prohibited the group from carrying out independent activities. This is separate from the currently ongoing appeal regarding the original injunction. The indirect enforcement decision is temporary and will be rendered ineffective if NewJeans wins the appeal case. In practice, such enforcement decisions often accompany injunctions when issued.

But here’s the thing: while the clarification from NJZ’s legal team was meant to boost confidence, many fans are pushing back, calling the statement overly optimistic and, frankly, a bit unnecessary.
- “They have turned crazy just like their fans.”
- “They must be confident they’re going to win.”
— “It seems like they were always certain.” - “I also want to live in this level of delusion.”
- “If they appeal, it will be treated like the main case all over again, LOL.”
- “Isn’t this something everyone already knows? I guess they’re confident about winning the appeal, just like how the members showed up in person during the injunction case, too.”
