The group’s legal representative said that Hybe He had discriminated against the NJz, compared to other groups under the label. The claim of The Serafim debuting in front of the Newjeans, thus breaking the alleged promise of May That his group would also be the first group of Hybe girls was raised before the court.
They accused Hybe they had reached a luxury brand, asking them to appoint the Sserafim as a brand ambassador shortly thereafter Hyein It was announced as an ambassador for the same. It is understood that the brand in question is Louis Vuitton.
In addition, Hyein was chosen as an ambassador for a specific brand, but suddenly the Sserafim was also appointed ambassador. When we asked with the brand, they confirmed that Hybe had requested it and presumed that they had spoken first with us. The brand even apologized for the question.

As for this specific accusation, Ador’s legal representative claimed that Sserafim was chosen as an ambassador “Of course through a friendly relationship ” After the group participated in the brand fashion show.
The CEO MIN unilaterally states that the contract between music artists of origin and the luxury brand was facilitated using the discovery network during the contract of the Ambassador of the Newjeans’ member and that Ador should have obtained preventive consent. However, the contract between the brand and the music of origin was naturally constituted through a friendly relationship that developed after the artist participated in the brand’s fashion show.

They also raised BTS In the opening, the reasoning that the group was the first global ambassador for the brand, but Ador has never sought Bighit musicThe consent before signing with Louis Vuitton.
In addition, before Newjeans’ Hyein signed a global ambassador, BTS’s J-Hope had already signed with the brand and, before this, BTS as a group was the first in the world to work as global ambassadors for the brand. Following the same logic, Ador should also have obtained consent from Big Hit Music (J-Hope/BTS), who had previously signed ambassador contracts with the brand before Ador.
