Newzins announced the suspension of its activities at the 'ComplexCon' held at the Asia World Expo in Hong Kong on the 23rd.
The members concluded the performance without introducing the name of 'Newzins' or 'NJZ', and decided to pause all activities for a while in respect of the court's judgment. I know our choice won't be easy, but we spoke out to protect each other, the values we believe in. I want you to know that this is not the end. We'll be back. I want to meet you with a smile so that I can step on it. It wasn't an easy decision, but I don't regret my choice."
Earlier, the Seoul Central District Court's Civil Agreement Department 50 (senior chief judge Kim Sang-hoon) cited Audor's request for a provisional injunction against the members, including preservation of agency status and signing advertising contracts. As a result, Newzins will not be able to carry out any entertainment activities without consulting with Audor. Then, Newzins wrote in Time magazine, "K-pop is a company that treats artists like products. Maybe this is the reality of Korea. So change and growth are needed. Korea seems to be trying to turn us into revolutionaries."
Nevertheless, Newzins declared 'Stop Activity'. He said he respects the court's judgment, but in reality, he refused to communicate with Odor itself and insisted on his own move. In fact, Adore sent its own staff to the concert to try to contact the members, but the members reportedly refused to meet themselves. It also decided to suspend activities without consulting with Odor and made it clear that it did not recognize him as an agency.
In response, Adore said on the 24th that he was very sorry for pushing ahead with the performance under a name other than Newzins despite the court's decision and for unilaterally declaring the suspension of his activities. We would like to do our best for Newzins under a valid exclusive contract. We hope to meet with the artist and discuss the future in a short period of time," he said, but this is also likely to be an unanswered echo.

Ko Sang-rok, a lawyer at Kim & Chang-based law firm Phil who was famous as a New Jeans fan, criticized, `First, he attacked the parent company in sympathy with Min Hee-jin, attacked other labels and their artists, and now even ignored the court that denies the industry and ends it, plunging the whole of Korea into a pitiful society and spewing hateful remarks.'
In particular, as the members declared their departure from the door, saying they wanted to be with Min Hee-jin, the former CEO of the door, the theory of responsibility for Min is also rising. The members sent proof of contents to Adore after former CEO Min was dismissed from his position as CEO of Adore, and declared the termination of the exclusive contract after former CEO Min left Adore. The members also wished to accompany Min during the provisional interrogation on the 7th.
Haerin "We and CEO Min were running happily with good results, but I don't understand why they separated us."We have five people on the stage, but we are a team of six (including former CEO Min). I was afraid that I would lose the CEO because he was attacked and ridiculous articles poured out. I want to be with you in the futureHye-in added, `We cannot reach the public with an insincere work in a false situation without CEO Min"Wept.
Netizens say that the members are still young, but if you really think about the future of the members, other adults, such as Min Hee-jin, should find their place" expressed concern.
