Controversy of ADOR and NewJeans
On November 28 last year, the five members of NewJeans held an urgent press conference, alleging that ADOR had violated its obligations under their exclusive contract. Following this, they began independent activities despite their ongoing dispute with the agency.
The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favour of ADOR’s request for a provisional injunction against NewJeans members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein. The ruling emphasised the protection of agency status and the prohibition of independent advertising contracts, effectively restricting the group from engaging in activities outside of ADOR’s management.
The group is composed of five members: Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein. Mainly produced by Min Hee-jin, they are known for their girl-next-door image and musical stylings reminiscent of the 1990s and 2000s.
