They want to overcome the problem and work with the members.
The conflict between I LOVE IT AND New Jeans resulted in a lawsuit.
On December 5, ADOR announced that it had filed a lawsuit “we confirm the validity of our exclusive contract with NewJeans.”
They released an official statement revealing their position.
“Hi, I’m ADOR. On December 3, we filed a lawsuit to receive legal confirmation that our exclusive contract with NewJeans is still valid.
Although we did not want the matter to be resolved by legal judgment, we decided because we felt it was necessary to confirm to the artists that the contract cannot be terminated based on the claims of one party.
Above all, we wanted to receive a ruling from the court to protect the foundation of the K-Pop industry and Korean pop culture, which was built on trust between artists and companies.
Today’s K-Pop was created by the talent and efforts of the artist, the investments and know-how of the company. Under uncertain circumstances, it is essential that company support is provided early and over a long period, especially in the K-Pop industry.”

They also emphasized that their partnership with NewJeans remains unchanged.
“ADOR’s position regarding collaboration with NewJeans remains unchanged. In addition to asking for an opinion on the validity of the contract, we believe that a sincere dialogue with members is necessary.
Despite our repeated requests, we have not yet had the opportunity to speak to the artists. We will continue to resolve misunderstandings between the artists and the company. We will do our best to repay the fans by providing better activities. We ask for your support so that we can overcome this problem.”
