Find out what was the reason that resulted in the application of fine to Newjeans if the members perform independent activities such as NJZ
Did you know that Newjeans can pay a fine if activities under the name of NJZ? The decision of the Central District Court of Seoul, in South Korea, granted on May 30, argues that Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein They are not allowed to launch songs, perform presentations or make advertising and sponsorships independently.
With the decision, the training must remain under the management of the ador, the subsidiary company of Hybe, until the validity of the contract in trial is determined. If they break the order, they must pay 1 billion Wons (about $ 729,000) to the ador, and bear the legal costs of the process.
“The debtor, NJZ, should not be involved in internal entertainment activities independently or through third parties without the approval or prior consent of the ador until the first verdict of the judgment on the validity of the contract is announced,” says the court’s statement.
But why was the fine applied?
It is worth remembering that the quintet had publicly declared that the agreement had been terminated, on the grounds that the company did not comply with some clauses of the contract signed. Thus, they took the name NJZ and made some promotions without the science and approval of the ador.
As a result, the ador came with an injunction to ban singers to hold individual promotions, which the court granted on March 21. After approval of the injunction, however, they continued as NJZ having even performed a presentation at the Complexcon in Hong Kong on March 23, motivating the application of the fine.
“Even after the injunction, they violated their obligations, and it seems that they will continue to violate them in the future, so it is necessary to order indirect execution to fulfill the obligations by the injunction,” the court said by the Koreaboo portal.
Koreaboo also states that the legal community defines the judiciary’s warning to celebrities who ignored the injunction as a “strong decision to increase the effectiveness of the injunction.”
The judicial dispute between Newjeans and ADOR is still underway.
