NewJeans Leaves ADOR, Hopes to Work with CEO Min Hee-jin

While the group New Jin’s said it was leaving its agency, it said it wanted to be with CEO Min Hee-jin.

On the 28th, Newzins (Minji, Hani, Daniel, Harin, and Hyein) held an emergency press conference and announced their position on the termination of their exclusive contract with their agency, Adore.

First of all, Hani said, “‘Thank you for coming to this unexpected event.'” I want to make sure that the YouTube Live in September and the proof of the request for correction two weeks ago were all decided and carried out by all five of us”I let off the rhyme.

The reason for holding an emergency press conference is that the proof of the content of the request for correction will end at 12 o’clock today (28th). However, the current adore shows no room for improvement, but we don’t see our will at all,” he said. “I’m worried that Hive and the current adore will play the media, and we’ve talked a lot among the members to accurately convey our position.”

As for the reason for leaving Adore, Hani said, “Dore’s most basic duty to protect Newzins is to protect him, but he has no will or ability.” “It’s a waste of time and I think the mental pain will continue for us to stay here. Above all, there is no reason for the five of us to remain because there is nothing to gain from work.

Minji also complained about the contract, saying, `The exclusive contract between New Jeans and Adore ends at midnight on the 29th.’

Minji says “Hive and Adore are like puns, ‘Hive’s fault, not Adore’s fault, but a violation of the exclusive contract.” But as you all know, Hive and Adore are one body. “Adore, who has worked with us, has changed, and all the directors have been dismissed. However, it is difficult to accept the claim that the exclusive contract should be maintained at Adore, which has changed to Hive’s taste.

Daniel said “When the contract is terminated, the five of us are no longer artists of Audor. We are trying to get out of fishing and continue the activity we really want.” But “The schedule promised so far will continue as it is. We don’t want to harm others.”

Harin “I’ve seen several articles about the penalty, and we didn’t violate the exclusive contract. I don’t think I need to pay a penalty because I’ve done my best so far. Rather, the responsibility lies with Hive and Adore because Hive and Adore have violated their contracts.”

Finally, Hyelin “If it goes past midnight, we may not be able to use the name Newzins. However, the essence of Newzins does not change, and we do not intend to give up the name of Newzins. “We will try to secure the right to the name Newzins because it is not a trademark issue, but a name that contains everything from the first time the five of us met until now.”

In particular, Minji “I got a lot of courage from CEO Min Hee-jin.” In the meantime, the CEO, who has been working, has been busy working and there were so many good people next to him. Also, among what the CEO said, ‘I want to make a precedent’, but it was a great courage. People make a lot of resolutions, but you know it’s hard to keep your life on the line. If you don’t come forward on your own, nothing will be solved, and others won’t. So I created this place, and I wanted to say it proudly. Of course, many things will continue to happen in the future and I don’t know what kind of interference there will be, but five people decided to join forces and enjoy the future adventures and challenges. I hope you support and watch this kind of move.”

Afterwards, during the press Q&A session, Min-ji said “We will proceed with all the scheduled schedules” If possible, I would like to continue working with CEO Min Hee-jin”I made it clear.

Minji also sent a certificate of content from Adore an hour before the press conference. But looking at the content, it was serious. The content proof included ’14 days were too short, and it is sad that this happened without an interview.'” We’ve already given you a correction request period, but you didn’t do anything, but it was said that Audor sent us a proof of the arrival tomorrow. I don’t care about our proof of content, it’s just lies and excuses. It was always this way of dragging and avoiding time. We will cancel it on the 29th because our request has not been corrected.” The proof of contents sent by Adore will be released tomorrow (28th).

Finally, Newzins expressed his willingness to continue his activities with CEO Min Hee-jin. Minji said “I want to have good activities with CEO Min Hee-jin in the future” and Hye-in said “We didn’t talk separately, but I think the CEO probably feels the same way as us” When asked if he had anything to say to Chairman Bang Si-hyuk of Hive, he answered “I have nothing else to say.”

Earlier, on the 13th, Newzins demanded the return of former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin and sent a proof of content to Ador, demanding a thorough fact-finding and stern measures for Hive’s internal documents, which include the phrase ‘Newzins’ that can be made in a new edition except for’Newzins’, and an official apology from the manager who told him to ignore Hani. The members declared that they would terminate the exclusive contract if the above requirements were not corrected within 14 days.

In this regard, on the 27th “Adore has maintained a cautious attitude so far, fearing that the factual battle will cause unnecessary controversy over the artist belonging to Adore.”Bliprap’s claim is completely different from that of Hani, a member of the New Jeans, ” he said.

Then, on May 27, 2024, Hani clearly remembers that a member of the Billifrap made a statement to the effect of ‘Ignore you’ or ‘Ignore you’. And it happened in a relatively short moment, but it is too harsh and strict a criterion for the victim that Hani can only take issue by remembering all the situations at the time. “The members of Audor and Audor fully trust our artists and truly regret the damage that Hani has done.”

“Please show mutual respect for Hani’s damage without taking it lightly, and please show a sincere attitude to prevent unnecessary controversy over the artist belonging to Audor,” Ador said.

On the other hand, according to the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system, Adore’s sales last year were 110.3 billion won. Newzins has a remaining contract period of five years. As a result, the industry predicted that the penalty for Newzins would be between 400 billion won and 600 billion won.
