The NewJeans members have reportedly despatched a proper discover to their firm ADOR, requesting that they addressed what they describe as breaches to their contract, additional escalating the continued battle. If not, they are saying contract termination can be pursued.
Within the discover, the members demanded, “Appropriate all main violations of the unique contract inside 14 days from the date this discover is acquired.”
NewJeans acknowledged, “HYBE decided to ‘discard New (referring to NewJeans) and begin contemporary’, so take all vital actions because the administration firm of NewJeans. In HYBE’s Music Trade Report (inside monitoring doc) lately confirmed within the Nationwide Meeting audit, there was a phrase, ‘We’ve been fighting the wording round New-I-LE (NewJeans, ILLIT, LE SSERAFIM) for days, however it will be simpler to discard New and begin contemporary.’”
NewJeans emphasised, “If ADOR doesn’t settle for the calls for for correction, we intend to terminate the unique contract. At present, there are baseless rumors circulating concerning the households and family of NewJeans members. NewJeans has no connection to those rumors.”
They added, “If anybody spreads false rumors to defame NewJeans, we are going to reply firmly.”
Within the preliminary report, the calls for weren’t offered, however Yonhap Information later revealed them.
Particularly they wished clarification on who wished to “abandon NewJeans”, execute an audit report for NewJeans, take applicable authorized motion to be taken in opposition to any unlawful acts found, an official apology from the supervisor who allegedly stated to disregard Hanni, deletion of pics/vids used with out consent (trainee stuff, I assume), decision of damages to NewJeans ensuing from sajaegi/album manipulation, resolve points with director Shin Woo Seok, safety of NewJeans’ type (the copyright stuff, I assume), and the return of Min Hee Jin to her former function.
In response, ADOR denies receiving a proper discover from NewJeans but.

It’s maybe a transfer many noticed coming, as a peaceable compromise appears not possible at this junction, and numerous what’s been rising (I’ll monitor again and canopy another stuff quickly) might doubtlessly appear geared toward setting the desk for this.
I’ve been fallacious to present HYBE’s authorized standing credit score earlier than, however I do marvel precisely how NewJeans’ case would fare in court docket. HYBE’s public picture and status might deservedly be within the gutter, however that basically isn’t a authorized case for contract termination, in spite of everything. Issues like definitively proving some type of sabotage of them and/or the office ostracization appears key to any lawsuit.
A separation appears finest for everyone concerned — compensation can be one other struggle, in fact — however that may even be giving Min Hee Jin precisely what she wished, so HYBE will struggle it till the loss of life no matter what may be finest for enterprise. Evidently, strap in.
