The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of ADOR, affirming the validity of NewJeans' exclusive contract with the agency.
The court found insufficient grounds for the girl group to end their ties with ADOR, stating it was difficult to conclude that ADOR breached the contract.
Even with the dismissal of former CEO Min Hee-jin, the court cited ADOR's continued efforts in album releases, performances, fan meetings, and tour plans as proof of fulfilling its management obligations.
NewJeans, composed of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, will "immediately" appeal the court ruling, citing their trust in ADOR has "completely collapsed."
The members expressed their gratitude to their fans for their continued support.
As a result of the initial ruling, NewJeans was ordered to bear the litigation costs.
