NewJeans are leaving ADOR. Days after the K-pop girl group demanded that their agency rectify all significant breaches of the exclusive contracts within 14 days, the five members of the group held an emergency press conference on Thursday (November 28). Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein all took turns speaking out, via Soompi. “Before we begin, we wanted to reiterate that the YouTube live we held in September and the certification of contents we sent two weeks with demands for rectification were decided and prepared together by all five of us,” they explained. Keep reading to find out more… “First of all, the reason we are holding this emergency press conference is because the time period for rectification from the certification of contents we sent ends at midnight tonight.
However, although today’s work hours are over, HYBE and the current ADOR are not showing any will to make reform or to listen to our requests.” “Actually, tomorrow morning we are leaving for Japan and are returning next week because we have scheduled activities abroad.
We were worried because we are not sure what kind of media play or media manipulation HYBE and the current ADOR will do during that time, and we wanted to express our thoughts accurately, so we discussed a lot among ourselves, and we had no choice but to hold an emergency press conference today,” they continued. “The reason we are leaving ADOR is very simple, and I think the reporters here who know our situation are also all very aware. NewJeans is an artist of ADOR, and ADOR is obligated to protect NewJeans.
It is the most basic obligation that an agency has. ADOR does not have the will or ability to protect NewJeans.
