NewJeans released a statement today (6th) regarding ADOR's exclusive contract validity lawsuit, stating "As of November 29, 2024, we are no longer part of ADOR" and "ADOR cannot interfere or intervene in our activities," while claiming that ADOR has shown duplicitous behavior.
"While publicly announcing attempts at dialogue and reconciliation, we couldn't help but feel fear and revulsion when we came across media articles spreading false information, stalking and defaming us behind the scenes..."
NewJeans also stated, "However, no matter how much they try to divide us, we five members remain united as one, and no one can separate us..." "We are faithfully fulfilling our remaining schedules with ADOR as promised after announcing the termination of our exclusive contract."
They continued, "However, we witnessed our managers and performance directors who help with these schedules crying after having their laptops confiscated by ADOR and HYBE, and being subjected to serious harassment including sudden investigations..." "We find it very difficult to understand such behavior towards staff members who are working on remaining schedules, and it pains us that we're not the last ones to be harmed by such an unethical and inhumane company."
In response, Channel A received information from an ADOR insider. They claimed, "There were unnecessary frequent interviews and harassment of performance directors and employees, and managers were asked to hand over their personal phones," adding "They even forcibly detained them in the office for more than 3 hours, preventing them from going home..."
Channel A has requested HYBE to verify these claims.
