Parents of NJZ members (Newjeans) pronounce on rumors of different opinions

This Friday, 04, rumors arose about a possible disagreement among the parents of the members of NJZ, former Newjeans, in relation to the judicial process involving the termination of the exclusive contract of artists with the ador. Speculation gained strength after the first hearing in the Central District Court of Seoul, when the judge questioned the validation of the parental rights of those responsible, soon being pointed out by the South Korean media that the divergences would be particularly related to Haerin and Hyeinwhose families need legal agreement for contractual decisions because they are minors.

However, given the repercussion, those responsible for the artists used Instagram Stories to deny these allegations. Through the @MHDHH_PR profile, they stated that the rumors of a division are “completely false”, reinforcing that all five NJZ members remain together in the decision not to return to Hybe, a choice made in consensus with their families.

“The girls keep keeping this same position, and we parents fully respect and consistently support the desires of our daughters,” they said.

Those responsible also expressed indignation with the exposure of the quintet’s personal and family life, criticizing the use of these issues to influence public opinion. “Parental rights issues are private matters of the family,” they said, warning of legal actions designed in cases of disclosure of false information.

The note also specifically addressed the rumors involving the member Haerinclarifying that the singer and her family are “firmly united in her position”, and that speculation about her case are unfounded. According to parents, the situation that covers the parental rights of another minor member was also distorted by the media, requesting the end of speculation on family matters.

Finally, the statement emphasized the lack of confidence in the new management of the ador and Hybe, noting that, as responsible, they could not send their daughters back to a company that, according to them, “is now using family issues of members for media manipulation.”

Check out a full statement:

“Hello. We are the parents of the members.

The reports of some media vehicles claiming that ‘there is a division among the parents’ parents’ are completely false. We are clarifying this position to correct any misunderstanding.

All 5 members maintain a firm position that they cannot return to Hybe, a decision made after in -depth discussions with their respective families. As they promised not to start legal proceedings unless the five were in agreement, members deeply trust each other and remain united.

The girls keep keeping this same position, and we parents fully respect and consistently support the desires of our daughters. Despite the difficult situation, the five members often meet and maintain an unshakable friendship. We parents also communicate more often and maintain close relationships during these challenges. Therefore, we are perplexed and we regret see unfounded rumors about family division and member’s departure being published as news.

Initially, we thought it was not worth responding, as it seemed an intentional attempt to create division. However, we are making this statement now, as specific members have been mentioned.

Rumors about member Haerin are completely false. Both Haerin and her parents are firmly united in their position, and all speculation about her family affairs is also untrue. The member and her family are undergoing severe mental stress due to these unfounded and unilateral speculation.

The process of adjusting parental rights regarding the desire of a minor daughter concerns another member, and how this family also maintains a firm union between mother and daughter, we ask that speculation about their family affairs also cease.

We clearly affirm that all families currently respect and support their daughters.

Article 10 of the Family Litigation Law states: ‘With regard to any case that is underway or resolved by the Family Court, no fact or photography that allows the person’s identity based on name, age, occupation, appearance, etc. It should be published in newspapers, magazines or other publications, or be transmitted. ‘ and Article 72 of the same law specifies criminal sanctions for the violation of these disclosure restrictions.

We ask that this be taken into consideration and avoid indiscriminate creation and dissemination of speculation about personal information.

Parental rights issues are private family affairs. We hope there is no more malicious use of this by linking it to the ‘legal dispute with the ador.’

As parents, we cannot send our daughters back to a company that has been built on the basis of trust but is now using family issues of members for media manipulation.

The new management of the ador and Hybe has never shown us any reliability, and this remains unchanged to this day. “

The case remains in progress.
