‘The Contract Still Stands’: ADOR Refutes NewJeans’ Claims After Press Conference

ADOR’s Statement

In a statement released by ADOR, the label stated that the allegations made by NewJeans were “false and defamatory.” The statement reiterated that the contracts between ADOR and the group members remain valid and enforceable.

“We are deeply disappointed by the members’ actions,” the statement read. “We have always treated them with the utmost respect and care, and their claims are nothing but an attempt to damage our reputation.”

NewJeans’ Allegations

During the press conference, NewJeans member Hanni alleged that ADOR had subjected the group to excessive work hours, sleep deprivation, and emotional abuse.

“We were often forced to practice for hours on end without breaks,” Hanni said. “We were also subjected to verbal and psychological abuse from staff members.”

Background Information

NewJeans debuted in August 2022 and quickly gained popularity with their catchy songs and refreshing image.

However, rumors of alleged mistreatment by ADOR began circulating in recent months. These rumors were fueled by the group’s frequent absences from scheduled appearances and the members’ apparent exhaustion.

Possible Outcomes

The dispute between ADOR and NewJeans is likely to have a significant impact on the group’s future.

If the allegations made by the members are proven to be true, it could lead to legal action and the termination of their contracts with ADOR.

However, if ADOR is able to successfully refute the allegations, it could strengthen the label’s reputation and potentially lead to a reconciliation with NewJeans.
