NewJeans Manager Alleges Bullying by CEO Kim Joo-young, ADOR Denies Claims of “Harmful Conduct”

Workplace Bullying Allegations Against ADOR CEO

On December 11th, as reported by Channel A, a manager known only as “A”has lodged a formal complaint with the Ministry of Employment and Labor. The complaint alleges workplace bullying by CEO Kim, claiming that the company, ADOR, unlawfully confined the manager and demanded the surrender of both their laptop and personal smartphone.

ADOR’s Response to the Accusations

In response to these allegations, ADOR defended its actions by stating that the manager in question had been directly engaging with advertisers outside of the company’s framework. They alleged that this manager encouraged an artist to sign contracts directly with brands, bypassing the established company protocols. ADOR emphasized that the manager has acknowledged these communications, labeling this behavior as detrimental and a violation of the artist’s exclusive contract.

Further Developments and Denials

Moreover, ADOR stated that they provided the manager multiple opportunities for clarification regarding these actions; however, the manager declined all requests for interviews. The company firmly rejected any claims of unlawful confinement or coercion and added that the manager had formatted the company-issued laptop before returning it, thereby making any data recovery impossible.

Investigation Plans and Legal Actions

ADATA revealed that they intend to conduct a thorough investigation into the claims and are prepared to pursue any necessary legal actions to address the situation. This development comes during a turbulent period for the company.

NewJeans’ Legal Claims Against ADOR

In a related turn of events, the members of the popular group NewJeans declared last month that ADOR had violated their exclusive contracts, prompting them to seek to terminate the agreements. In response to these contract disputes, ADOR subsequently filed a lawsuit aiming to validate the terms of those contracts.
