Ador underlined inconsistencies.
According to the tests presented by I love In Court, former CEO of Ador May is suspected of interfering with Njz‘S (Newjeans) decision to terminate agency contracts.
This new development supports the accusation of “tampering”, which refers to the act of a third party that is involved with an artist without the consent of their agency when the contract between the artist and the agency is still in force.
On 11 March, when Njz appeared in the central district court of Soul for the first round of interrogations regarding their case with Ador, the agency presented documents that confirmed that Min Hee Jin and its legal representatives at the Residential Study They were involved in the NJZ process that you notice Ador on the termination of the contract. In particular, the notice of resolution sent by NJZ, which was in PDF format, was written by the law firm. Ador stressed that the English name of the company, “S&B”, was present in the metadata of the PDF file, indicating that the notice was created using a corporate account.
On November 28, just one day before the resolution notice was sent by NJZ, the group held an emergency press conference and suddenly announced that contracts with Ador were terminating.

It was until January 2025 that they officially declared Sejeong as their legal consultant, thinking that they were familiar with the company due to past disputes involving Ador e Hybe.
Ador also underlined the temporal sequence of events to establish the accusation of tampering against the min. Njz formally requested corrective actions from Ador on November 14, 2024 and on November 20, Min has resigned by CEO by Ador. So, on November 28, Njz announced the termination of the contract before the deadline to respond to their request for corrective action, which was November 29 at midnight.
As proof, Ador presented KakaoTalk Conversations and e -mails recovered from the Min telephone and the same statements used by Sejeong by a previous case between her and Ador in May 2024. In the trial, there were some inconsistencies, such as the phrase “at the beginning of this year” in the deposit, which should have been updated at the beginning of last year “.
If the accusations of tampering are demonstrated true, it can potentially influence the result of the composition. The Court will conclude the hearing on the matter on March 14th.
