[theqoo] NEWJEANS' SIDE "IT'S LIKE SAYING 'YOUR NURTURING MOTHER WAS KICKED OUT, BUT COME BACK, YOUR AB*SIVE FATHER WILL FIND YOU A BETTER MOM'", EXPRESS NEGATIVE FEELINGS TOWARDS ADOR (FT. RETURN TO ADOR)

The group hinted at a willingness to return, if the agency ADOR is restored to how it was before HYBE’s takeover, and proposed entering into a mediation process.

On the afternoon of the 24th, the 41st Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court held the third hearing for the lawsuit filed by ADOR seeking confirmation of the validity of NewJeans’ exclusive contracts.

During the hearing, ADOR’s legal representatives continued to assert that former CEO Min Hee-jin was behind NewJeans’ notice to terminate their contracts. They claimed that the plagiarism accusations against ILLIT and the “Ignore it” incident were all part of Min’s attempt to manufacture false justification.

They also argued, “ADOR has faithfully fulfilled its key management responsibilities,” and repeatedly stressed that the trust between the agency and the members had not broken down. According to ADOR, its staff are still preparing a new album and awaiting the group’s return.

ADOR further argued, “NewJeans’ claim that they want to terminate their contracts because Min Hee-jin is no longer producing is not a valid legal basis for voiding the contract.”

In response, NewJeans’ side countered that the root cause of all the conflict dates back to HYBE’s audit in April of last year.

Their lawyer stated, “HYBE initiated the audit with the intent of removing Min Hee-jin from ADOR, but ultimately, the authorities ruled not to forward her breach-of-trust case. Yet NewJeans were the ones who suffered under this false narrative.”

They again emphasized the breakdown of trust, saying: “It’s like kicking out the mother who raised you, and telling you to come back because the ab*sive father will now assign you a better mom,” vividly conveying the members’ emotional disillusionment with ADOR.

They firmly rejected the claim that Min Hee-jin orchestrated the entire situation, stating, “Min Hee-jin was simply fulfilling her duties as CEO at the time,” and denied that she was behind the contract dispute.

The hearing ended with closing arguments, and the case will now move into mediation. The mediation session is scheduled for August 14 and will be held privately.

[theqoo] NEWJEANS' REP "IF ADOR RETURNS UNDER MIN HEE-JIN'S LEADERSHIP, WE WILL GO BACK"

During the hearing, the members’ legal representatives stated, “The root of all these events was HYBE’s audit in April last year. They now talk about a ‘NewJeans poaching’ and claim it was a takeover attempt, but tampering was never listed as a reason for her dismissal at the time. Throughout the audit and dismissal process, there was no protection for the defendants (the members). The approach was, ‘You kids stay quiet and just keep doing your work while the adults fight.’”

They added, “Even if the audit had been legitimate, there might have been some grounds for action. But just ten days ago, the police concluded after a thorough investigation that Min Hee-jin’s actions as CEO of ADOR did not constitute breach of trust and decided not to forward the case for prosecution.”

The members’ side emphasized, “Currently, ADOR is filled with HYBE executives following Min Hee-jin’s ousting. The ADOR that the members trusted and signed with no longer exists. The current ADOR is not the same plaintiff who cherished and fully supported the members when the exclusive contracts were signed. The plaintiff says, ‘ADOR is still ADOR, what do you mean?’ But just like how changing the SIM card in a phone makes it no longer the same phone, this is not the ADOR the members trusted—so they can’t trust or rely on it anymore.”

They continued, “Since April last year, during the conflict between HYBE and Min Hee-jin, the members were left neglected and ended up suffering the most. Even in the recent issue involving Hanni and her greeting situation, they made her look like a liar instead of protecting her.”

The defense also pointed out, “The defendants are in a full-on psychological dilemma. They’ve not only lost trust in the plaintiff but also experience anxiety just by being near the company building, to the point where they need treatment for depression. Can anyone really say to these girls, ‘You have a contract, so get on stage and dance’? Do the defendants not have any personal rights?”

They further stated, “Telling us to go back to ADOR and HYBE is like telling a school violence victim to return to school and endure it.” Parts of the members’ written petitions included similar statements.

While the ADOR side maintains that “We trust the members, so mutual trust hasn’t disappeared,” the members’ side argued that, “The fundamental trust is gone. An exclusive contract is a deeply personal, whole-person contract—not just any business agreement. The members now need medication just to be near HYBE, so how can anyone say the contract must still be upheld?”

Finally, they clarified: “We’re not saying we’ll never go back. If ADOR returns to being the ADOR that the members trusted and relied on, we’ll go back even if we’re told not to. But the current ADOR is like a phone with the SIM card changed—it’s a completely different ADOR, now under HYBE’s control. So we can’t go back.”

In November last year, NewJeans held an emergency press conference declaring the breakdown of trust with ADOR and HYBE and announced their intention to terminate their contracts. In response, ADOR filed a lawsuit seeking confirmation that the exclusive contracts remain valid and also requested an injunction prohibiting the members from engaging in activities independently or signing endorsement deals elsewhere.

At the previous two hearings, both sides clashed sharply. While ADOR indicated a willingness to settle, NewJeans’ side made it clear they had no such intention, stating, “The trust has been completely destroyed. There’s no going back.”

ADOR, however, countered, saying, “The reasons NewJeans gives for terminating the contract keep changing. The individual reasons the defendants are presenting are unjustified. We will submit a detailed written response before the next hearing.”
