NewJeans Confirms Return to ADOR as Contract Ruling Becomes Final

The court decision upholding ADOR contracts is final after the members declined to appeal, clearing the way for group activities to resume.

Overview

  • All five members announced plans on Nov. 12 to resume under ADOR, with Haerin and Hyein confirmed by the label and the other three notifying their intent separately.
  • With the appeal deadline passing at midnight Nov. 14, the Seoul Central District Court’s ruling that the exclusive contracts remain valid now stands.
  • ADOR says it is arranging meetings with Minji, Hanni and Danielle after initially stating it was verifying their statement about returning.
  • Former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin publicly said she respects and supports the members’ decision, noting her separate litigation with HYBE continues.
  • ADOR previously said preparations were complete for new activities, including a studio album, after a year in which injunctions halted independent NJZ promotions.
