The highly publicized legal battle between the K-pop<\/a> group NewJeans<\/a> and their management company, ADOR, has reached a resolution. The five members have announced that they will officially be returning to the label, ending a year of industry turmoil and fan uncertainty.<\/p>\n The dispute began in late 2024, when the group publicly sought to terminate their contracts following the dismissal of their creative mentor, former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin. However, a recent ruling by the Seoul Central District Court upheld ADOR\u2019s exclusive contract with the group, which is set to run through 2029.\n<\/p>\n The members\u2019 decision to resume activities under ADOR was made \u201cafter thoughtful consideration with their respective families.\u201d Initial statements confirming the decision came in two parts, first from Hyein<\/a> and Haerin<\/a>, and shortly thereafter from Minji<\/a>, Danielle<\/a> and Hanni<\/a>. This signals a complete end to the group\u2019s attempts to leave the label and their brief effort to rebrand as NJZ. The company shared a statement with Billboard<\/a>, \u201cThe two members [Haerin and Hyein] have decided to respect the court\u2019s latest ruling and adhere to their exclusive contract with the label. ADOR is committed to providing its full support to HAERIN and HYEIN to ensure the seamless continuation of their artistic endeavors. We request the warm support from the fans and respectfully urge you to avoid engaging in unfounded speculation regarding the members.\u201d\n<\/p>\n The court\u2019s ruling emphasized that ADOR had fulfilled its contractual obligations and that the removal of Min Hee-jin did not constitute sufficient grounds for contract termination. ADOR has publicly stated its commitment to fully supporting the group\u2019s future activities, promising a new chapter of music and performances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary K-pop group NewJeans ended their legal battle with ADOR and confirmed they will honor their exclusive contract…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,409],"class_list":["post-130890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
