ADOR Drops NewJeans' Danielle, Confirms Hanni Stay, Plans Legal Action

The label signals enforcement of court-affirmed contracts with legal action planned against a Danielle relative plus former CEO Min Hee-jin.

Overview

  • ADOR said it notified Danielle of the termination of her exclusive contract, concluding continued activities together would be difficult.
  • Hanni will remain with the company after what ADOR described as in-depth talks, with the agency noting she chose to respect the court’s ruling.
  • ADOR said discussions with Minji are continuing to broaden mutual understanding, with no final decision announced.
  • The agency said it will seek legal accountability for one member of Danielle’s family and former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin over their alleged roles in the dispute and delays.
  • Courts previously upheld the validity of NewJeans’ exclusive contracts, and ADOR said it will later address controversies and work to restore fan trust.
