News NJZ releases new statement claiming that ADOR is requesting the court to ban all of their activities, ADOR responds (1 Viewer)

On February 11, 2025, ADOR expanded the scope of its preliminary injunction request to include not only advertising, but also all musical activities, including NJZ's writing, composing, performing, and singing, and all other ancillary activities.

This came shortly after we reported that Chairman Bang Sihyuk had put pressure on the Complex concert officials, so we suspect that the decision was taken in retaliation for the failed attempt to cancel the performance. Until a few days ago, ADOR continued to state its position on NJZ's independent activities, but did not reveal that its request for an injunction was aimed at banning all entertainment activities.

This is a completely different attitude than the one widely reported when the injunction was filed on January 6. ADOR is apparently only questioning NJZ's advertising activities and claiming that it wants to avoid confusion between fans and advertisers, but in reality it is asking the court to ban all of NJZ's entertainment activities.

This appears to be an attempt to infringe on NJZ's professional freedom and at the same time avoid public condemnation by not disclosing it publicly.

The essence of NJZ is musical activity, and limiting it is tantamount to denying the very reason for NJZ's existence. ADOR filed a preliminary injunction to block all NJZ activities from the outset.

​

​

ADOR chose to expand the scope of its injunction request, initially filed to maintain its status as the agency of NewJeans and to prohibit the signing of independent advertising contracts, because NewJeans have been increasing their activities, announcing the release of new songs as well as participation in large-scale overseas performances, while the injunction process is still ongoing.

This is not an attempt to restrict their activities but rather to emphasize that they should continue their entertainment career 'together with Ador' and 'in compliance with their exclusive contracts'.

As previously stated, ADOR has never pressured event organizers in any way, nor is the expansion of the injunction request a retaliatory measure.

Tomorrow in court, ADOR aims to clarify any misunderstandings held by the artists and seek a ruling affirming that ADOR remains NewJeans’ agency

Same. I love legal stuff but even I'm over it.

If these girls wanted artistic freedom then they shouldn't have signed with an idol company and instead chosen a more artist company like an indie one.

I think its less about artistic freedom and more about following MHJ off a cliff like good little cult members.

I really hate it when idols' actions make me side with a company.

I mean I don't think anybody is surprised - that was the next logical step from ADOR

I'm tired of hearing about these girls already. They need to stop following MHJ around and think for themselves for once

I question if it's just that at this point and if MHJ has made financial promises to their parents that they're naive enough to think she can actually keep since any adult with any semblance of sense can see that they're losing this battle.

I'm sure we can find some homeless guy who will play you. So does this mean your actually behind MHJ and the NJZ cult? Makes sense when I think about it.
