After the members of NewJeans revealed that they would terminate their contracts with ADOR, the agency shared a text commenting on what happened; read!
This Thursday, 28th, Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyeinthe members of NewJeans, held an emergency press conference to announce the termination of the exclusive contracts they had with ADOR. The announcement was commented on by the agency shortly afterwards, through an official statement.
It turns out that the members had sent a content certification to the company on November 13, so that the agency and the conglomerate that subsidizes it, HYBE Corporation, could rectify all significant violations of the group’s exclusive contracts. The response period was 14 days, which ended on the date of the press conference. Given the company’s lack of positioning, the quintet declared that they would end their contracts at midnight on November 29th.
“The reason we are leaving ADOR is very simple, and I think the reporters here who know our situation are all very aware as well. NewJeans is an ADOR artist, and ADOR is obligated to protect NewJeans. It’s the obligation more basic than an agency has. ADOR does not have the will or ability to protect NewJeans. If we remain here, it will be a waste of time, and our mental anguish will continue. of our work, then The five of us think there is no reason to remain at ADOR”, they declared.
They also stated that they will comply with the activities and advertising agenda already defined, and that they have not broken any clause in the contract they have with ADOR, in addition to declaring that the breach of contract arose from ADOR and the parent company, HYBE.
We have also seen several articles about penalties for breach of contract. We do not violate our exclusive contracts and have never violated them. Until now, we have tried our best to carry out our activities, so we think there is no reason for us to pay penalties. In fact, the current ADOR and HYBE violated the contracts, leading to this current situation, so we believe that the current ADOR and HYBE are responsible.”
More than that, they said that they remained together even after their career was no longer managed by ADOR, and that they will fight “to guarantee the rights to the NewJeans name.”
With this, ADOR responded to the topics covered in the press conference, stating that there were no contract violations and that the legal agreements between the company and the group remain active, as reported by the South Korean portal Soompi.
Read the translation:
This is an advertisement for ADOR.
We regret that a press conference to announce the termination of the exclusive agreement was planned and held before even receiving a response regarding content certification and without sufficient review.
ADOR, as a party to the exclusive contracts, did not breach the contracts, and claiming that trust was unilaterally breached does not constitute grounds for termination.
The exclusive contracts between ADOR and NewJeans members remain valid. Therefore, we hope that they will continue their planned activities together with ADOR as they have done so far.
We requested several meetings with the artists, but they were not held. We hope that even now, we can open our hearts and have honest conversations together.
ADOR will do its best to support NewJeans in its activities and help them grow further as global artists.”
