ADOR has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting their groups by continuing to take firm legal action against any infringement of NewJeans’ rights.

ADOR Vows to Protect NewJeans’ Rights with Strong Legal Action

On April 9, ADOR issued an official statement addressing the ongoing legal proceedings involving online defamation and other unlawful acts targeting NewJeans. The agency emphasized that it would not tolerate malicious behavior and will pursue strict measures against those who spread harmful content or interfere with the artists’ rights.

“Since NewJeans’ debut, our agency has been continuously monitoring and taking legal action against malicious online posts targeting the artists,” the statement read. “Recently, with the rapid increase in both the volume and severity of malicious posts directed at the artists, we have appointed additional dedicated personnel and further strengthened our response system.”

“We are actively collecting evidence of serious rights violations on various online platforms and social media channels including DC Inside, Ilgan Best, Nate Pann, FM Korea, Naver, Blind, DogDrip, TheQoo, Ppomppu, X, YouTube, and more. These violations include defamation based on the artists’ nationality or appearance, the spread of false information (fake news), invasion of privacy, malicious insults, and the use of derogatory terms. Alongside promptly requesting the removal of such content, we are also pursuing legal procedures,” it continued.

This statement follows a private court hearing held on the same day regarding ADOR’s injunction to block the NewJeans members from participating in independent activities under the name NJZ. Only legal representatives from both parties were present during the hearing.

Afterward, ADOR shared, “There have been no significant changes in circumstances since the injunction was granted,” indicating the agency’s continued confidence in its current legal position.

The court is currently expected to announce its ruling at a later date. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.

It’s official: There is a court order prohibiting the members of NewJeans from pursuing activities. In line with that, NJZ has released a statement confirming their legal plans.

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.

ADOR has issued an official statement following the recent announcement by NewJeans members that they will be rebranding as NJZ.

NewJeans To Debut Under New Name NJZ

On February 7 KST, the group’s five members—Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein—publicly declared their intention to adopt the new name amid their ongoing dispute with ADOR. This unexpected rebranding move has sent shockwaves throughout the K-pop community, raising questions about the future direction of one of the most popular girl groups in the industry.

The decision to rebrand comes as the members reportedly seek greater creative freedom and autonomy in their careers. In their announcement, the members stated that the new identity, NJZ, would better represent their evolving musical style and personal aspirations. Fans have reacted with a mixture of support and concern, with many speculating about the impact of this change on the group’s future projects and overall public image.

ADOR Reacts to NewJeans Rebrand

In a related development, NJZ is set to perform under their new name for the first time at ComplexCon, scheduled to be held in Hong Kong from March 21 to 23. According to several reports, the group is preparing to debut a brand-new song at the event, signaling a fresh start and an exciting new chapter in their career.

In response to the rebranding announcement and growing public discourse, ADOR released an official statement addressing the situation.

“It is deeply regrettable that the members made this unilateral decision before any legal ruling has been made regarding the validity of their exclusive contracts with ADOR,” the statement read. “ADOR will continue to do our best to protect the brand value of NewJeans.”

ADOR also reaffirmed that all decisions are made with careful regard for the artists’ integrity and future growth.
