JAKARTA – The inaugural trial of the ADOR label against its former artist, NewJeans, who is now NJZ, was held on Friday, March 7. In this trial, both parties explained their claims regarding the conflict between these two camps.
This lawsuit began because ADOR wanted to question the contract status of five NewJeans members. The five members claimed the contract ended according to the agreement and they started with the group name NJZ. ADOR considers the contract still ongoing because ADOR and HYBE are one of the reasons they were successful.
Check out the facts related to ADOR’s inaugural trial of the lawsuit with NJZ below:
Not accepting that the contract ended, ADOR claimed HYBE investment in NewJeans reached 21 billion won. They also think NewJeans has been promoted since debuting by appearing in BTS music videos and others but they mention the reason for the termination of the contract because HYBE doesn’t like them.
ADOR also made a claim that the appearance of Minji and Hanni in the Permission to Dance music video from BTS was Min Hee Jin’s request, who at that time was ADOR’s creative director.
The five NJZ members, namely Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Hyein, and Haerin, attended the trial. They explained that they claimed HYBE was trying to bring down their reuptation. This was realized when the Jeju Air plane incident last year.
At the time, members wanted to wear a warning band while on stage in Japan but HYBE banned it and said it could cause issues with the Japanese television station where they performed, Hanni said.
However, the television station felt there was no problem and Hanni made a ribbon for the five of them. They were surprised when they saw all the HYBE artists who were also present wearing ribbons on stage.
Hanni had revealed that a manager from a group asked members to ignore Hanni. When talking to ADOR officials, they claimed their CCTV was not there. HYBE revealed for themselves that ILLIT greeted Hanni.
At the trial, ADOR released CCTV which they initially said was not there and featured ILLIT members beating 90 degrees to Hanni. However, they did not show the video Hanni was referring to, namely the manager who ordered Hanni to ignore it.
NJZ explained that they experienced media play from HYBE including plagiarism issues and the Dolphiners Film incident occurred for two years.
“There are no artists under HYBE who have experienced this except NJZ. ADOR does not have the ability to avoid this action,” said NJZ.
NJZ also revealed that Hyein was initially chosen as an ambassador for the Louis Vuitton brand, but then the plan was canceled and they heard LE SSERAFIM was appointed ambassador.
When we contacted the brand, they confirmed that HYBE asked for it and assumed they (HYBE) had spoken to us. The brand even apologized for this,” said NJZ.
Hyein was appointed ambassador in 2022, a few months later all LE SSERAFIM members were announced as ambassadors.
