Are people cheering for Newzins and foreign media interviews? an unexpected result shock



Newzins met and interviewed BBC Korea this time following Time magazine.

In an interview with Time magazine, Newzins, who was under public scrutiny for criticism of the K-pop industry and controversy over anti-Korean remarks, announced his suspension of activities immediately after the court cited the provisional injunction and met with BBC Korea to convey his feelings.

A BBC reporter asked the first question "People are also in a position to welcome the results of the court's provisional citation. It is a public opinion that the contractual relationship was taken lightly."




In response, Newzins Daniel said "I really did expect a different outcome in court, but I remember everyone watching the news was shocked"

Hye-in "Some people think that we're in a position where we're famous and we can do whatever we want and do whatever we want to say.. We've been holding it in and now we've spoken out about the absurdity we've experienced. Honestly, from a social perspective, the situation is not flowing in our favor. But I think the situation itself tells me that fact.,' he said, interpreting himself as an underdog for his complete defeat in the court's provisional injunction trial.

Daniel is also "We just want to keep working. We want to continue the work we love without being disturbed and without lies and misunderstandings," he added.

"Our greatest fear is that we don't know if we can continue this," says Hani, "and that's why we keep moving forward. But this fear always lingers in the back of my mind. Anything can happen, and we never expected this to happen until we were trainees two years ago. I don't know what kind of future there will be. There might be a situation where I can't really be active anymore and I really want to avoid that. Anything will happen, but I really want to avoid such a situation."

As there is a legal part, questions about how much adults are involved behind the scenes also followed. When asked indirectly about the rumor behind Min Hee-jin, Hani answered "People easily 'They're young. They can't have made their own decision. But that doesn't mean we take the situation less seriously or are contemplating it less. I always said this to each other. 'If even one doesn't want to, we won't do it. We could only choose if all five of us agreed"It was not dominated by someone, but rather the result of all the members gathering their wills," he said, stressing that it was the members' unifying will and concern.

Earlier, five members of the New Jeans held an emergency press conference in November last year and began their own activities, saying that the contract was terminated due to the violation of Adore's exclusive contract.




In December of that year, Adore filed a lawsuit against the members in the Seoul Central District Court to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract, and in January of that year, he applied for a injunction against the preservation of the status of an agency and the conclusion of an advertising contract with the aim of `preventing members from signing their own advertising contracts.' Later, in order to expand the scope of the provisional injunction application, Audor asked "Please ban music activities such as songwriting, composition, and singing of Newzins", and on the 21st, the court accepted this and decided to cite all of them.

Since then, Newzins has been on stage at the Complex Con held at the Asia World Expo in Hong Kong on the 23rd and announced the suspension of its activities.

Members said, "Today's performance could be the last performance for a while."We decided to suspend all activities for a while in respect of the court's judgment. I know better than anyone that our choice will not be easy, but this is what protects us. It's a necessary choice for us right now. I don't regret my choice." Adore, who has been recognized as an agency, expressed his position that it is regrettable that he declared a unilateral suspension of activities.
