Group New Jin’s (Minji, Hani, Daniel, Haerin, Hyein) has declared the termination of the exclusive contract to their agency, Adore.
On the afternoon of the 28th, Newzins held an emergency press conference on the termination of its exclusive contract at the Galaxy Hall of SpaceShare Samsung Station Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
On this day, Hani said, “Before we start talking, I want to tell you again that the YouTube Live we did in September and the proof of the corrective request that we delivered to Audor two weeks ago were all decided by the five of us,” he said.
Hani said “The reason we had an emergency press conference is that the correction deadline for our request for correction ends at 12 o’clock today. Even after work hours are over, Hive and the current Adore show no willingness to improve or to listen to our demands. In fact, I have an overseas schedule tomorrow, so I leave for Japan in the morning and come in next week, and in the meantime, I had a lot of conversations because I was worried about what kind of press Hive and the current Adore would play and wanted to accurately convey our position. I had no choice but to hold an emergency press conference today.”
Hani then said “The reason we’re leaving the door is simple. I think those who know and understand our situation will know it well”Newzins is an artist belonging to Adore, and Adore has an obligation to protect Newzins and is the most basic obligation as a company, and Adore has neither the will nor the ability to protect Newzins. So we think it’s a waste of time and mental pain will continue to remain. Above all, I don’t think there’s any reason for all five of us to stay because there’s nothing to gain from work,” he stressed.
Minji “I would therefore like to inform you that the exclusive contract between Newzins and Adore will be terminated from midnight on the 29th.”Currently, Hive and Adore distinguish between Hive and Adore as if they were playing words, and argue that it was Hive’s fault, not Adore’s fault, so it could not be a reason for violating the exclusive contract. But as everyone knows, Hive and Adore are already one body. The adores we have worked with have already changed a lot, and all the existing directors were suddenly dismissed. “Now, I cannot accept the argument that we should maintain an exclusive contract at Odor, which has changed to Hive’s taste and has also cut ties with the director who worked hard with us. “
Minji then said “So we made a request for correction of the violation of the exclusive contract, and the correction period ends at midnight.” In fact, none of the corrections have been made to what we asked for, except for the reluctant position of implementing the measures according to the proof of content and the continuous show-off e-mail without the will to improve”We have conveyed our opinions several times through this proof of content through live, but the insincere attitude is so exhausting, and ‘You have no sincerity toward us.” I felt once again that I had no intention of meeting our demands. So, we have less than four hours left until midnight, and no correction has been made, so the five of us will cancel our exclusive contract as soon as it becomes midnight on the 29th,” he added.
Daniel said “If the exclusive contract is terminated, the five of us will not be artists of Audor. We are going to get out of the door and do the activities we really want. “However, we are planning to proceed properly with the schedules that have been promised and contracted so far. The advertisements under contract will also be carried out as scheduled.” I would like to thank advertisers who always support me. I want to tell you that you don’t have to worry. We have no desire to cause any harm to others by terminating the contract,” he added.
Harin then read the article about the penalty, and we did not violate the exclusive contract, and we never violated the exclusive contract. I’m still doing my best, but I don’t think there’s any reason to pay a penalty”On the contrary, it has reached this situation because the current Adore and Hive have violated their contracts, and of course, I think the responsibility lies with the current Adore and Hive.”
Hye-in “After midnight today, the five of us may not be able to use the name Newzins for the time being, regardless of our will. However, the essence of the five of us being Newzins never changes. And we don’t even want to give up on the name Newzins”For some people, the name Newzins may just feel like a name, a trademark issue, but for us, it’s not that simple.” We will continue to work to ensure that the name “Newzins” is intact, as it is a name that contains meaning for everything we have done since the first time the five met each other so far.”
Minji “I think it’s really important to have a human mind. I think a courageous person can change the world and live his or her life independently. I don’t think everyone has the courage to do what they want, not to calculate how much they can do on their own. I was able to do it because I had Bunny’s fans who were there for me and the members”Seeing CEO Min Hee-jin again gave me a lot of courage.” The CEO I’ve seen while working has always been the busiest, and there were so many good people next to him. Also, among what the CEO said, ‘I want to make a precedent’, and that really touched me and gave me a lot of courage. People make a lot of resolutions in their lives, but you know that it’s never easy to keep resolutions by risking your life.”
He thinks that nothing will be solved if he does not do his job on his own, and others will not. So, the five of us are here today. We wanted to say this in front of you”Of course, many things will happen in the future and I don’t know what kind of interference there will be, but the five of us decided to join forces and enjoy the future adventures and challenges.” I hope you support and watch this kind of move.”
Minji said, `I hope everyone can create an environment where they can work with respect to each other without bullying each other, whether it’s in school or work,” he added.
In addition, Minji sent an e-mail an hour before the press conference regarding the proof of content sent by Adore. But I saw the contents of the mail and it made me feel really serious once again. The main content of the e-mail was to ask for action within 14 days and to correct it, but there was not enough time for ’14 days. I am sad that this happened without an interview with the members. It was not what Audor did, but there was something that could not be done. We have given you the content and duration of the correction, but you have not done anything about it. He also said that he sent a proof of content arriving tomorrow without trying to meet the proof-of-content period. He said “The proof of content was not interested in improvement, it was all lies and excuses. He always treated us with such a time-dragging answer”We really don’t want to waste any more of our precious time, and our request has not been implemented, so we will terminate the exclusive contract as scheduled after midnight on the 29th.”
Minji added, `The application for provisional injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract is to terminate the contract because Adore and Hive violated the contract, and if the contract is terminated, the exclusive contract will become ineffective, so there will be no obstacle to our activities in the future. So we don’t think we need to file a lawsuit because we can continue our activities in the future.”
Hye-in “There is less than four hours left to be promised. If you had any thoughts of correcting the contents we sent by e-mail several times, you would have already shown it as an action. However, as long as we knew that it could not be corrected, we had a press conference because there was a concern that the longer we dragged on, the more confusing the fans who supported us would be. “And we were hurt a lot by the external media play. I was also shocked. We saw so many situations in which we tried to deceive the public by inflating content that was not true as if it were true that we didn’t have to postpone the press conference anymore.”
Hani says “Five lives are at stake. We talked a lot among ourselves. So all five of us agreed that this would be the best”The parents support me a lot. I don’t think it makes sense to be subjected to this in itself, but we won’t be hiding behind it. I don’t think that’s necessary. From now on, I will freely and happily cancel what I was originally doing with the desire to do comfortably.
Minji “I think the biggest problem with this is the lack of respect for each other. This happened because we spoke out about the irrationalities that we suffered and there was no answer to it”I’ll tell you about the legal story later, but wasn’t there a case for termination of our contract?” That’s why I’m telling you this and giving you my opinion.”
Daniel says, `We want to work with people who like our favorite music. If the CEO wants to, I want to do things with the CEO.”
Lastly, Minji said, “I want to continue to do good activities with CEO Min Heejin.”When asked “Do you have anything you want to say to Chairman Bang Si-hyuk”, he answered “I have nothing else to say to him” Hyelin then said “I haven’t talked to CEO Min Hee-jin, but I think he feels the same way as us.”
