[theqoo] NEWJEANS, INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES COMPLETELY BLOCKED... PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION APPEAL REJECTED

NewJeans’ attempt to pursue independent activities without their agency ADOR has been completely blocked following a second court ruling in favor of the label.

According to a report by SPOTV News on June 17, the 25-2 Civil Division of the Seoul High Court dismissed the injunction appeal filed by the members of NewJeans earlier that day.

Previously, the Seoul Central District Court fully accepted ADOR’s request for an injunction, which sought to maintain its status as the group’s management agency and to prohibit the members from signing advertising contracts independently. The court ruled in favor of ADOR, and in response, the NewJeans members objected to the decision. When their objection was denied, they immediately filed an appeal.

However, the appellate court has now also sided with ADOR. As a result, NewJeans cannot carry out any independent activities without the company’s involvement.

Despite the legal setbacks, NewJeans has made it clear that they do not intend to return to ADOR. During the second hearing of ADOR’s lawsuit to confirm the validity of the group’s exclusive contract, the members stated, "The trust between us has completely collapsed. We have crossed a river of no return," indicating that reconciliation is highly unlikely.
