In an interview with Time magazine on the 22nd (local time), Newszins was disappointed with the court's judgment. I didn't think the K-pop industry would change overnight"Compared to what we've been through so far, it's just another step in our journey."
In addition, Newzins "This may be the reality of Korea. So we need change and growth. It seems that South Korea wants to turn us into revolutionaries."
Earlier in November last year, Newzins claimed to terminate the contract on the grounds of violating the exclusive contract of Audor, and began its own activities after changing it to a new group name instead of Newzins' name. In response, Adore submitted a provisional injunction to the court to ban all music and entertainment activities such as writing, composing, and singing, as well as signing independent advertising contracts for Newzins members.
Since then, the Seoul Central District Court's Civil Agreement Department 50 (Chief Judge Kim Sang-hoon) has drawn attention by accepting Audor's request for injunction against the members of Newzins for the preservation of agency status and the conclusion of advertising contracts. The court did not recognize all the reasons for termination of the exclusive contract claimed by Newzins.
Regarding the decision to cite "The claim and data of the debtor (Newzins) submitted to date alone have caused the creditor (Dore) to violate the important obligations under the exclusive contract, resulting in the reason for the termination of the exclusive contract."Or, it is hard to say that the mutual trust relationship underlying the exclusive contract has been irreversibly broken"I explained the reason.
In addition, he ruled in favor of Audor, saying, `The creditor took a very high risk of failure, made full support and efforts for a long time for the successful entertainment activities of debtors who were unknown trainees, and invested large amounts of money.' `If debtors who have succeeded in gaining popularity with the public after their debut unilaterally leave the exclusive contract relationship more than two years after signing the exclusive contract, they will suffer enormous losses.'

In addition, the Hong Kong 'ComplexCon' performance, which will be held this weekend, will be fully supported on-site to be held under the name of New Jeans from Airdore. I hope to meet the artist and have a sincere conversation with him soon"I sincerely ask you to give warm support and support to Newzins, who will grow again with Dorr."," he said.
Even in the position of Adore, who promised to 'responsibility for support', Newzynes did not break his will to independence. Through its account, Newzins clearly nailed its intention to continue the dispute over 'exclusive contract validity lawsuit' on the date of pleading that will take place on the 3rd of next month.
Newszins " (citation of the court's provisional injunction) This decision is a result of not fully considering that the members' trust in Odor has been completely destroyed. Regarding the decision on provisional injunction today, additional issues will be contested through an objection process, and in the process, we plan to supplement the clarification data as much as possible. It's only a matter of time, and I think the truth will soon come to light," he once again hinted at a hard-line response.
