According to legal sources, Newjeans He did not submit a re -appeal by June 24 regarding the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which confirmed the injunction that prohibits them from guaranteeing the state of their agency or participating in advertising contracts.
On June 17, the civil division of the upper court of Soul 25-2 rejected the appeal of the members against the injunction. The Court said, “Considering Newjeans’ requests and the tests presented, the injunction decision appears justified.” If they wanted to contest it, they had a week from the date of notification to submit an appeal to intensify the case to the Supreme Court. Not presenting a re -appeal, the injunction was aimed on that day. As a result, Newjeans are now forbidden to engage in entertainment activities independently or through third parties without Ador’s after approval or consent. On May 30, the Court also granted Adr’s request for indirect application, which means that if the members violated the injunction by acting independently, each member would be fined by 1 billion KRW for violation.
In November 2024, Newjeans announced their intent to terminate the contract with Ador, citing the inability of the agency to fulfill their obligations. In response, Ador has filed a cause by saying that the exclusive contract remains valid and has sought an injunction to prevent Newjeans from engaging in independent activities until the main cause is resolved. The Court sided with Ador and, despite the objections and appeals of the members, continued to govern in favor of Ador.
Given their resolute position, the Newjeans were expected to contest this sentence, but surprisingly, they chose not to pursue a reappear. The exact reason for Newjeans’ decision to abandon the re -appeal remains unclear. However, it is unlikely that they did it to reach an agreement with Ador.
On June 18, after the appeal was rejected, Ador expressed gratitude for the court sentence and said, “We hope this becomes an opportunity for members to return to their legitimate place like Newjeans and resume activities”. Ador has constantly expressed his desire to continue working with Newjeans and underlined his will to settle in the main cause.
However, Newjeans has constantly rejected the settlement offers. In the main case, they declared their legal representative, “We crossed a river that cannot be canceled”, firmly refusing to reconcile. Having marked as revolutionaries and showed a strong determination to fight, it is difficult to imagine that the Newjeans accept an agreement with Ador based exclusively on the result of the draw. For example, when the member Danielle recently participated in an event by Omega Ambassador in Kyoto, Japan, adores the staff accompanied her, but was described as a “restless coexistence” rather than a dramatic reconciliation. Newjeans is more likely to be focusing on the main cause rather than the injunction. The cause on the validity of the exclusive contract, presented by Ador, is currently underway, with two auditions already held, during which both parties have fiercely contested their positions.
The topics and issues in the main cause are not significantly different from those of previous disputes. If this tendency continues, it is likely that the main cause produces a result similar to the injunction. For Newjeans, who are now on the defensive, presenting tests that change the game will be crucial. However, it would be unusual if they owned these tests but they had not presented it before.
In this contradictory situation, the part of Newjeans raised 15 requests for clarification against Ador. The Court accepted three of these, including questions about the context of the delegated authority to the former CEO of Ador movie During the signing of the exclusive contract, discussions or explanations were held on the impact of the dismissal of Min Hee-Jin on Newjeans’ activities and if the Council has discussed proactively measures to face the imitation of the Newjeans. Newjeans probably judged that focusing on the main cause to build a new logical picture offers greater successful possibilities than that of continuing with the low altitude injunction.
After publishing their debut album in Japan Supernatural On June 21, 2024, Newjeans has been inactive for over a year now. With the injunction now aimed, the interest is growing when the Newjeans will return.
