NJZ members (Newjeans) announced a break in activities after the court’s decision on the group’s independent actions
NJZ (Newjeans) will enter a gap! The temporary break was announced last Saturday, 23, during the group’s presentation at Complexcon in Hong Kong, a territory of China, where they debuted the song “Pit Stop”.
On stage, Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein They read an official statement in English to the public in which they stated, “By respecting the court decision, we decided to pause all our activities for now.” Then they said that “this may be our last presentation for a while,” but “that doesn’t mean we’ll give up … we’re just taking a step back.”
The decision mentioned by the disrespectful group made by the Central District Court of Seoul, in South Korea, which on 21 March granted the adoring request by an injunction to prohibit Newjeans members to perform independent activities under the name NJZ, thus defining that the agency remains managing the group’s career until the main trial.
After the legal verdict, the quintet used independent social networks they created to share that they planned to appeal the decision, and they would still present themselves at Complexcon as scheduled and did not intend to follow under the managing of the ador. Already the ador shared a statement stating that it would provide support to Newjeans as its agency, and send employees to Hong Kong to help them during performance.
The full statement of NJZ at ComplexCon was echoed by the Soompi portal, and has the following:
This stage means a lot to us and each of you that gives us strength just for being here. It is very difficult for us to say that, but this may be our last presentation for a while. By respecting the court’s decision, we decided to pause all our activities for now. It was not an easy decision, but we believe this is something we need to do right now.
Honestly, we knew from the beginning that this journey would not be easy, and although we accepted the decision of the court and this whole process, we had to speak to protect the values we believe, and that was a choice of which we didn’t regret it at all. We certainly believe that defending our dignity, our rights, and everything we carefully care is something we had to do, and that belief will not change.
We understand and know that today’s news can be disappointing or disturbing, but it wasn’t an easy decision for us to make either. But at the moment, for us, it is about protecting us so that we can come back even stronger.
We had to go through a lot … things that we really only know. But even [através] Of all this, there are so many things that we wanted to share with you and so many fun plans that we are excited to advertise. But now, however, it seems very difficult to continue at this pace, and as strong as we are trying to remain, it honestly cost us a little mental and emotional effort. However, this does not mean that we will give up. We will continue to advance, no matter what happens, and come to Hong Kong and receive all this love and support from you in Complexcon has given us a lot of strength.
Now our hearts are a little worn out, and it seems a little difficult to continue at this pace. But that does not mean that we will give up; Let’s continue. With this decision we make, we are respecting the court decision, and for now we are just we take a step back to take a break, breathe and gather our hearts and ourselves before moving on.
To all who believed in us and supported us from the bottom of the heart, thanks. We love them very, very, very, very, and we cannot express how grateful we are. And we promise that, no matter the circumstances, we will meet again soon.
It is worth remembering that the main judgment of the judicial process that will discuss the validity of contracts between the ador and Newjeans has the first hearing scheduled for April 3.
The case is still underway.
