NewJeans’ injunction to act independently has been finalized—and it’s a loss for the group.
On June 24, the members of NJZ (NewJeans) missed the deadline to file a re-appeal against the court’s ban on their independent activities. The Seoul High Court rejected their previous objections and appeals. ADOR’s injunction request was accepted back in March, and the court ruled in favor of ADOR maintaining control.
The court warned that if NJZ “arbitrarily leaves the exclusive contract and engages in independent activities, they will be able to monopolize the results, but ADOR will suffer serious damage from losing all investment results.”
The judges clarified that:
“Even if the injunction application is accepted, the members can continue to engage in activities while complying with their exclusive contracts.”

Despite the ruling, NJZ made it clear they will not return to ADOR.
The legal battle continues, but for now, NJZ’s independent plans are officially blocked by the court.
