Soon after the news broke, netizens were in for a surprise, and many took to social media to express their views. One user wrote, "Danielle is getting sued for $30 million. The girl's phone got taken away, and you all still think it's because they got groomed by this lady? Did Hybe p*** in y'all brains or what?"
Another user wrote, "The concept of terminating Danielle's contract after HANNI was the one who opposed them in court and failed to show up to a hearing."
"And dumb*** tokkis cheering about Danielle being free pls dont pmo rn. They are quite literally nothing to cheer about this wasn't some mutual and civil agreement they're suing her family and possibly putting her into debt in the process she's not free", wrote the third user.
Court's ruling in the favour of ADOR
A South Korean court ruled against K-pop group NewJeans, whose members had sought to cut contractual ties with their label ADOR over the mistreatment by the agency. In the latest turn of events, the music label has now submitted evidence consisting of several demos of the group's assumed next album.
According to reports, the label had then filed for an injunction, requesting the court to prohibit the group's members from engaging in independent commercial activities and allowing it to remain NewJeans' managing agency.
The Seoul Central District Court, in Thursday's decision, its second in favour of ADOR, rejected NewJeans' claims that mistreatment had led to the "irreparable breakdown of trust". "The court accepted all positions of the agency, keeping its contract with the group valid," a court representative told AFP.
