In the middle of Newjeans announcing the termination of their exclusive contract with I love And continuous independent activities, five Korean entertainment organizations have asked to establish an anti-manomission legislation as the controversy grows.
Five musical organizations, including the Korea Entertainment Management Association, Korea Entertainment Producers Association, Korea Music Label Industry Association, Korea Recording Industry Association and Korea Music Content AssociationHe released a statement on February 19th.
The five musical organizations would like to ask some agencies and artists to stop manipulating public opinion without any basis for reaching their interests to guarantee the sustainable development of popular culture and artistic industry.

The five associations mentioned the recent Newjeans accident and supported, “In order to solve the problem, the bill should be reviewed with accurate control of the facts and sufficient advice with the relevant parties, not through a public opinion war.”
They heard that the actions taken by the former CEO of Ador May And the Newjeans were not the best way to solve problems.
In the last ten months, accidents such as the press conference of Min Hee Jin, Hanni’s appearance at the National Assembly and the independent activities of the group have attempted to resolve the issues through public opinion and unilateral decisions rather than privately through negotiations or legal procedures. The conflict that surrounds them still continues today.

The associations stressed that they were not discussing the dispute between a specific agency and artist, but rather trying to inform the public about how fatal this situation is for the K-pop industry.
They also asked to establish laws to prevent the tampering of the music sector.
“Newjeans’ press conference last year became an opportunity for private disputes between artists and agencies to be excessively exposed to the media. With this, cases of engaging in independent activities before receiving a legal judgment have increased.
The artists representing K-Pop are influencing public opinion and creating confusion in the sector through press conferences and independent activities, conducting the K-pop industry in a crisis. “

They felt that this could no longer be a situation to ignore.
“We must give priority to the response to suspicions of tampering as it is an act that can instantly destroy a management company that has invested heavily in an artist only on the basis of the future value of the artist.
If the contracts are not legally protected and are resolved by a unilateral decision, the K-pop industry will lose its base for survival. “
– Five Korean entertainment organizations
They urged the government to recognize the seriousness of the situation in the K-Pop sector, one of the main industries that represent Korea.
Newjeans officially announces that free activities will continue from Hybe and Ador
