ADOR Files 43 Billion Won Suit Against Danielle and Min Hee-jin After Contract Termination

The lawsuit escalates a dispute already shaped by an October court ruling that kept NewJeans under ADOR contracts through 2029.

Ador terminates NewJeans member Danielle's exclusive contract amid ongoing dispute. Agency plans legal action while remaining members negotiate return; five-member comeback uncertain.

Overview

  • ADOR filed a civil damages claim of about 43.1 billion won against Danielle, a family member, and former CEO Min Hee-jin, legal sources said in Seoul on Tuesday.
  • The case was assigned to the Seoul Central District Court’s 31st civil division, presided over by Judge Nam In-soo, which is handling related HYBE–Min litigation.
  • The filing comes a day after ADOR notified Danielle of her contract termination, saying continued work together was not possible.
  • ADOR said members had been exposed to “distorted and biased information” and signaled plans to hold Danielle’s family member and Min legally accountable for the dispute and delays.
  • Hanni has decided to continue with ADOR, Minji remains in talks, and Haerin and Hyein had earlier signaled their return, making a five-member comeback unlikely for now.
