Apr 03, 2025

The first lawsuit for exclusive contract dispute between group Newzins and Adore begins.

The hearing of the 41st Division of Civil Agreement (Chief Judge Chung Hoe-il) at the Seoul Central District Court on the 3rd will hold the first hearing to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract filed by Adore against the five members of the New Jeans.

The court cited all applications for provisional injunction, including the preservation of agency status and prohibition of entertainment activities, filed by Audor against five members on the 21st of last month.

NewsJins is concerned about the production vacuum caused by the dismissal of former CEO Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Hive Park Ji-won's remarks that he will give the members of NewJins a long vacation, disputes between Adore and Dolphin Mobilization Director Shin Woo-seok, Hive Music Report (May 10, 2023) that reads, "'You can throw away NewJins and make a new edition'; Ailit of Billifrap undermined the uniqueness of NewJins; Billifrap's manager told Hani to "Ignore you.", the leakage of photos and videos from the members of NewJins' trainee days; Hive PD's remarks, 11 reasons for the termination of the exclusive contract were cited, including the fact that negative public opinion against Newzins was formed due to the retaliatory audit of former CEO Min of Hive and Adore, and that CEO Lee Jae-sang even said, `We are even thinking of flying Min Hee-jin and Newzins together by undermining the brand value of Newzins.' But the court did not admit any of them.

In response, Newzins is the reality of the Republic of Korea through overseas media such as Time in the United States and BBC Korea in the United Kingdom. The Republic of Korea seems to be trying to turn us into revolutionaries", "The judgment of the provisional citation was shocking" expressed their unfairness. Nevertheless, public opinion was cold, and Newzins made a super-strong move of 'Stop Activity'.

And the fact that Newzins and Adore faced off once again in the main lawsuit. Currently, Adore is in an advantageous position, and Newzins is in a position to file an objection to the injunction decision by reinforcing new evidence and prepare for the main lawsuit. As a result, concerns are rising over whether Newzins members will speak out in court directly or maintain their decision on the provisional injunction, as in the case of the provisional injunction.
