[theqoo] [FLASH REPORT] NEWJEANS MV LAWSUIT... COURT RULES "DOLPHINERS -> TO PAY ADOR 1 BILLION WON IN DAMAGES"

The dispute began in August 2024, when Dolphiners Films uploaded the director’s cut for NewJeans’s “ETA” music video to its official YouTube channel.

 

According to Shin, ADOR responded by requesting that the director's cut — along with all NewJeans-related content on the “Ban Hee-soo Channel,” an unofficial YouTube fan account that Shin operated — be removed.

 

ADOR denied asking for such an all-encompassing removal.

 

“We only requested the director’s cut of ‘ETA’ be taken down,” the agency said, calling the upload an “unauthorized disclosure.” “We never asked for the deletion or halt of all NewJeans-related content from channels. Shin is spreading false information.”

 

Shin subsequently filed a defamation complaint, claiming that ADOR's statement damaged his reputation.

 

ADOR countered by filing a lawsuit against Dolphiners Films. It argued the unauthorized publication of NewJeans content — to which the agency holds ownership rights — constituted an illegal act.

 

During the third hearing in the case, former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin appeared as a witness and testified that both parties had made a verbal agreement to post the director’s cut of “ETA.” She criticized ADOR’s position, calling it “foolish and absurd.”

1. Why make such a big deal out of something that could have been easily dismissed when it came down from ADOR, forcing a loss-making company into debt? It's absurd

2. Will they be understanding now?

3. All these interconnected lawsuits are getting dismissed

4. This is kinda funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. They are losing every round, just what are they doing??ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ADOR deserves everything that's owed to them

6. They should've just taken down the video quietly when it was requested to them. In the end, they got hit with a 1 billion fine...

7. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So funny

8. I can't believe that ADOR is winning everythingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope that this comes as financial treatmentㅋㅋㅋ

9. This is right

10. Who knew that things would've ended up like this by trusting Min Heejin...
