Group News will hold an emergency press conference today (28th).
Newzins (Minji, Hani, Daniel, Harin, and Hyein) will hold an emergency press conference at 8:30 p.m. on the 28th in Seoul and announce their position. The press conference will also be released through live broadcasts.
They will talk about their position regarding the proof of content recently sent to their agency, Adore.
New Jeans members Kim Min-ji, Hani Palm, Marsh Daniel, Kang Hae-rin, and Lee Hye-in sent proof of contents to Adore under their real names on the 13th and said, “We ask Doror to correct violations of the exclusive contract. Within 14 days from the date of receipt of this correspondence, please correct all serious violations of the exclusive contract below.
The requirements include the necessary measures as an agency, the official apology of another label manager who said, “I ignore you,” and the resolution of the dispute with director Shin Woo-seok of the dolphin band, who said, “Ignore you” in the Hive Music Industry Report.
On the 27th, a day before the deadline for the Last Notification, Odor said, “This statement is the implementation of the measures taken according to the artist’s proof of content,” adding, “On October 7, 2024, Billifrap announced a statement related to ‘disrespecting the manager’ through the Billifrap X account and ‘We inform you’. Audor has maintained a cautious attitude so far, fearing that the factual battle will cause unnecessary controversy over the artist belonging to Audor. However, despite Adore’s efforts, the related controversy is still not resolved, so we reveal Adore’s position.”
“Belifrap’s claim is completely different from Newgens member Hani’s statement,” Adore said. Hani clearly remembers on May 27, 2024, that a member of the Billifrap made a statement to the effect of “ignoring” or “ignoring and passing by” Hani. 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 the words of our artists and truly feel sorry for the damage Hani has suffered,” he explained.
He added, “We hope that Billifrap will not take Hani’s damage lightly and show mutual respect, and show a sincere attitude to prevent unnecessary controversy over the artist belonging to Audor.”
