NewJeans have responded to the court verdict ruling in favor of ADOR regarding their exclusive contract.
In a statement shared by NewJeans’ legal counsel SHIN & KIM LLC on behalf of the members, they stated that they will immediately file for an appeal.
Today, the Seoul Central District Court shared their judgement in the lawsuit filed by ADOR, seeking confirmation of the validity of their exclusive contract with [NewJeans]. The court ruled that the exclusive contract is to remain valid.
While the members respect the court’s decision, they maintain their stance that it is impossible to return to ADOR and continue regular entertainment activities with the company since the trust between the two parties has been completely broken. The members plan to immediately file for an appeal.
We hope that the appellate court will thoroughly review the facts of the case and the legal issues surrounding the termination of the exclusive contract and make a wise judgement.
