The legal battle between record label ADOR and NewJeans came to an end after the court ruled against the K-pop girl group. After several allegations, the members have reportedly decided to return to doing music with the current label after careful discussion. Moreover, the members have reportedly dropped their appeal in the contract lawsuit. Let's delve into it to know more details.
Will NewJeans return to ADOR?
According to several reports, members of the group Haerin, Hyein, Minji, Danielle, and Hanni did not file appeal documents by the midnight deadline. This effectively finalises the October 30th first-instance ruling issued by the Seoul Central District Court.
Reportedly, Haerin and Hyein were the first to formalise their return, announcing through ADOR on November 12 that they would resume promotional activities. The label stated, "We will provide full support to ensure the two members can continue their work smoothly."

Court rules in favour of ADOR
Before this, 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.
