Division 41 of the Civil Agreement of the Central District Court of SEoul, chaired by judge Jrib Hae-Il, should proceed with the third round of topics in the case presented by Ador against Newjeans Members (Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein). The agency seeks confirmation of the validity of their exclusive contracts.
This legal dispute started when Newjeans He held an emergency press conference in November last year, publicly announcing the breakdown of trust both with Ador and with his mother company Hybe. The group declared the termination of their contracts, citing irreparable damage to their relationship with the agency.
In response, Ador has filed a lawsuit to confirm the validity of contracts, together with an injunction request to prevent members from working in independent activities or entering new advertising agreements. The court previously had pronounced in favor of Ador by granting the injunction.
At the second hearing held last month, Newjeans‘Legal representatives firmly rejected the possibility of reconciliation. Despite the encouragement of the judge to consider the resolution, Newjeans‘Lide replied, “Trust has been completely destroyed. There is no way to go back.” In the meantime, Ador has left room for future discussions, affirming him “Once the Court issues its sentence, an agreement can become easier”
Currently limited to pursuing independent activities, Newjeans He recently marked their third anniversary of debut in silence, without significant activities in the midst of the current legal conflict.
