NewJeans have lost their legal battle against ADOR, with a Seoul court ruling that they must honour their contractual obligations through 2029.
The Seoul Central District Court dismissed the group’s claims that their contract had been breached. The group had argued that the removal of ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin constituted a breach of contract that would allow them to terminate their agreement.
The fact that Min was removed from her position as CEO does not in itself mean that a managerial vacuum was created or that Ador became incapable of fulfilling its contractual obligations.
NewJeans will appeal the court decision. Author's summary: NewJeans lost a court case against ADOR.
