 Trust relationship with New Gene's Door, which loses exclusive contract lawsuit, is completely broken, and cannot be returned (Full Story)



Group Newzins appeals against the court ruling that the exclusive contract with Adore is valid.

Sejong, the law firm that serves as Newzins' legal representative, sentenced the first trial to the effect that the exclusive contract is valid in relation to a lawsuit filed by Adore Inc. against the members. The members respect the court's judgment, but they say that it is impossible to return to Adore and continue normal entertainment activities in the current situation where the trust relationship with Adore has already been completely broken."

Members will immediately appeal the judgment of the first trial, and we hope that the Court of Appeal will once again comprehensively examine the facts and the law on the termination of the exclusive contract and make a wise ruling. I sincerely thank the fans for waiting and supporting me for a long time.




On the same day, the 41st Division of Civil Agreement (Chief Judge Chung Hoe-il) of the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff at the trial of the exclusive contract validation lawsuit filed by Adore against the members of Newgens. The court did not accept all of Newzins' claims that Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Airdor, was ousted after an unfair audit by Hive and Airdor, and that the trust relationship broke down, and that girl group ILLIT manager under Hive label Belief Lab was treated unfairly, such as being told to ignore Hani.

In November last year, Newzins declared its independent activities, saying that the exclusive contract was terminated due to Ador's breach of contract, but the court has suspended its activities, citing all applications for prohibition, including the preservation of agency status and the conclusion of advertising contracts.

The following is the full text of Newzins' position.




Hello, I'm Minji, Hani, Daniel, Haerin, and Hyein (hereinafter referred to as 'Members') and I'm Sejong, a law firm.

Today, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced the first trial to the effect that the exclusive contract is valid in relation to a lawsuit filed by Adore Co., Ltd. against the members.

The members respect the court's judgment, but they say it is impossible to return to Adore and continue normal entertainment activities in the current situation where the trust relationship with Adore has already been completely broken.




The members will immediately appeal the first trial's ruling, and we hope that the appeals court will once again comprehensively examine the facts and the law on the termination of the exclusive contract to make a wise ruling.

Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the fans who have been waiting and supporting me for a long time.
