ADOR Confirms Contract Termination of NJZ’s Danielle
On December 29, ADOR released an official statement online, confirming the status of NJZ (NewJeans) and their contracts.
They revealed that Hanni visited Korea with her family and had an in-depth conversation with ADOR. After the conversation, Hanni respected the court’s ruling and decided to remain with ADOR. Minji is also currently in discussion with the agency.
Below is the complete statement released by ADOR.
“Since the final ruling confirming the validity of the exclusive contract, ADOR has been in extensive conversation with Minji, Hanni, Danielle, and their families.
Hanni visited Korea with her family and had a lengthy discussion with ADOR. During this time, they reflected on past events and objectively assessed the situation. After the conversation, Hanni has decided to respect the court’s ruling and stay with ADOR.
Minji is also in talks with ADOR, and discussions are ongoing to foster mutual understanding.
However, in Danielle’s case, we have determined that it will be difficult for her to continue working with us. Therefore, we have notified her of the termination of her exclusive contract. Furthermore, we plan to hold one family member of Danielle and former CEO Min Hee Jin, who are significantly responsible for causing this dispute and the delayed return of NJZ, legally accountable.
During the conversation, ADOR learned that the members had been receiving distorted and biased information for a long time, leading to various misunderstandings about the company. The company and the artist agreed that, to restore the love of the fans and the public, it would take time to resolve the misunderstandings completely. Furthermore, we have decided to take the opportunity to address the various controversies that arose during the dispute, and we are currently discussing the timing and method.
ADOR will do its best to resolve the matter amicably and make sure that NJZ can return to their fans as soon as possible.”
