NJZ Addresses Shocking Court Order
On March 21, the Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Division 50 ruled in favor of ADOR’s injunction request, prohibiting the NJZ members from engaging in independent activities, including signing advertising contracts.
In response to the court’s decision, the members of NJZ released an official statement via the NJZ PR Instagram account, announcing that they plan to contest the ruling. They expressed their commitment to protecting their rights and maintaining their artistic independence, promising to pursue all legal avenues available to them.
“We, NJZ, respect the court’s decision,” the statement read. “However, we believe that the decision did not sufficiently take into account the fact that the members’ trust in ADOR has been completely destroyed.”
“Regarding today’s provisional injunction decision, we plan to dispute additional issues through the objection process, and in that process, we will supplement the explanatory materials as much as possible and contest the decision,” it added.
Meanwhile, ADOR also issued an official statement, reaffirming their position and the decision made by the court.
“As ADOR’s status as the agency of NewJeans has been legally confirmed, we will fulfill our responsibilities in supporting the artists moving forward,” the statement read.
“We also plan to provide full on-site support to ensure that this weekend’s ComplexCon performance proceeds under the name of NewJeans, represented by ADOR,” it added. “ADOR sincerely hopes to meet with the artists soon and have an honest conversation.”
Both parties have made it clear that the matter is far from resolved, and further legal proceedings are anticipated. As the controversy unfolds, fans and industry insiders alike also remain closely tuned in to the developments in this high-profile case, eager to see how the dispute will ultimately be resolved.
