NewJeans Contract Notice to ADOR: “Termination Possible If Demands Unmet,” ADOR Replies “No Notice Received from NewJeans”

Escalation in NewJeans and ADOR Situation: A Potential Contract Dispute

The ongoing developments in the ADOR situation signify a pivotal moment that began last April with a comprehensive audit directed at former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin and other key figures. This scrutiny is now on the verge of evolving into a formal dispute concerning contracts.

NewJeans Demands Formal Corrections

In a significant step, the members of NewJeans, known by their real names—Kim Min-ji, Hanni Pham, Danielle June Marsh, Kang Hae-rin, and Lee Hye-in—have issued a formal notice claiming necessary corrections to be made regarding their exclusive contract.

Key Demands and Concerns Raised

The group has outlined a clear demand: to rectify all significant violations within a strict 14-day period from the receipt of their notice. While the specific actions that they seek remain undisclosed, the gravity of the situation is underscored by their assertive stance.

NewJeans has pointed out that recent internal communications at HYBE suggested a desire to “discard New and start fresh,”implying management’s intention to sever ties with the group. This statement was derived from the recently released “HYBE Music Industry Report,”which was discussed during the National Assembly audit, indicating a troubling mindset within management concerning the band.

All five members have formally endorsed the letter by signing the last page, emphasizing their collective stance. They have further asserted, “Failure to address our correction demands will compel us to terminate the exclusive contract.” Additionally, they have expressed concerns over unfounded rumors circulating about their families, clarifying that these are unconnected to the members and asserting their commitment to counter any defamatory activity.

ADOR’s Response to NewJeans’ Notice

In response to the noteworthy allegations and demands from NewJeans, a spokesperson from ADOR stated to Maeil Business Star Today, “As of now, we have not received the formal notice that NewJeans claims to have sent, hence we are unable to comment on the matter.”

As the situation unfolds, the implications for both NewJeans and ADOR are substantial, with the potential for far-reaching effects within the music industry. Stakeholders and fans alike are watching closely as this situation develops.
