NewJeans (NJZ) issues statement regarding court's decision but public opinion has changed

Official Statement of NJZ (NewJeans)

“Today, the court issued a preliminary injunction. While we at NJZ respect the court's decision, we believe that it fails to take into account the complete loss of trust our members have placed in ADOR. Due to the fast-paced nature of the conservation proceedings, the decision was issued only about two weeks after the hearing date of March 7, 2025, which did not provide sufficient opportunity to present all of the specific facts to the court. Furthermore, due to the asymmetry of information, ADOR and HYBE have all the information about the members' entertainment activities, while the members have to contact the relevant people one by one to request information. Many people are reluctant to cooperate because of the pressure and fear of retaliation that comes with being involved in this lawsuit.

We plan to appeal today's preliminary injunction decision, and we plan to argue additional issues through the appeals process, supplementing our arguments as much as possible. Above all, until the time of the termination of the exclusive contract, the members have been faithfully fulfilling the contract and have not committed any wrongdoing, while ADOR and HYBE behind it have consistently treated the members discriminatorily and unfairly, destroying trust, so it is only a matter of time and the truth will soon become clear.

The preliminary injunction is a provisional decision.

There is also an ongoing main proceeding between ADOR and the members to determine the validity of the exclusivity agreement, and we will reiterate that the agreement was lawfully terminated at the hearing date scheduled for April 3. Unlike the preliminary injunction proceeding, the main proceeding allows for greater freedom to utilize the civil procedure system to obtain the necessary evidence, so we expect that the evidence supporting the members' claims will be greatly strengthened.

The members of NJZ are going through a difficult time, but they are trying to overcome this situation with determination and calmness, thinking of the many people who have been supporting NJZ as they have been. NJZ's commitment to the fans is paramount, and we will continue to do everything in our power to communicate with them in a way that makes them happy. As we've said many times before, we reiterate that we cannot be associated with an agency that has insulted our character and defamed us, regardless of the financial implications. The reason we are pursuing this lawsuit is to defend our values and human rights.

Meanwhile, we have decided to participate in the Complex concert scheduled for March 23rd after much consideration to prevent any damage to the fans who are looking forward to the concert and to the many people involved.

Please keep an eye on us in the future and give us your support.” cr @kchartsmaster

1. Contracts and laws are not emotions

2. No, just leave the kids alone ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Min Hee Jin looks worse and worse as time goes on... It seems like she's manipulating the kids because they're so inexperienced in social life;

3. Min Hee Jin and Bang Si Hyuk are fighting over a bowl of rice, but in the end, NewJeans is the only shield. Bang Si Hyuk is crazy, but Min Hee Jin is disgusting for hiding behind the kids and taking advantage of them

4. They should stop here. How far will they go?

5. No matter how I think about it, it seems like this is a choice that will lead to a deeper swamp, so I wonder what they're thinking

6. Why did the NewJeans members do that? What did Min Hee Jin say?

7. Min Hee Jin has never been in labor, right? Real parents would never drag their children into a fight like this

8. Would spending all their time on litigation help NewJeans' life?

9. While they are in the prime of their lives, they waste time fighting in court

10. Public opinion has also changed
