Despite the members of NewJeans’ announcement to leave ADOR, the label declared that the termination of their contract is invalid, insisting that they are still under the label.
On November 28, ADOR published its 26-page response to the certified mail initially sent by NewJeans. This came after the five-member team announced the termination of the contract through an emergency press conference in Gangnam, Seoul.
In the lengthy document, the label refused to accept NewJeans’ departure and stated that they are still their artists as they have yet to officially terminate their contract with them.
Ador revealed significant points that explain why the resolution could not happen.
“Whenever a problem arose, ADOR gathered the directors’ opinions and attempted to resolve the problem in a reasonable manner. This cannot be considered a violation of the exclusivity contract just because such efforts were not in the specific way desired by the artist or did not satisfy his desires.” subjective expectations.”
The label continued:
“Many of the issues that the artists allege were a violation of the exclusivity agreement were due to the words and actions of third parties, not ADOR.”
During the emergency press conference, NewJeans claimed that HYBE and ADOR had first violated their exclusivity contract and complained of “broken trust.”

However, ADOR explained that this cannot be a reason because the management has faithfully continued the group’s activities despite the controversies.
“It is also regrettable that the reasons and basis of the issues raised by the artist violate important provisions of the exclusivity agreement. ADOR has faithfully performed important provisions of the exclusivity agreement, such as organizing and supporting entertainment activities, receiving compensation , liquidation and supply of liquidation materials.”
ADOR also wrote:
“If we consider the matter from a purely legal point of view, it is questionable whether ADOR has committed a violation that justifies the termination of the exclusivity contract or whether the request for corrective action by the artist this time is a request based on the termination of the exclusivity contract as claimed by the artist.”
