NewJeans Set to Rejoin ADOR as Haerin and Hyein Confirm, Other Three Signal Return

The shift follows an October court ruling that upheld ADOR’s exclusive contracts with the group.

Overview

  • ADOR said Haerin and Hyein will resume activities under the label after deciding to honor their exclusive contracts.
  • Minji, Hanni and Danielle have conveyed intentions to return, according to multiple reports and a statement via their representatives, while ADOR says it is verifying their notice.
  • The Seoul Central District Court ruled on Oct. 30 that the members’ contracts remain valid, reinforcing earlier injunctions that barred independent activities.
  • Courts authorized indirect enforcement this year, including a one billion won penalty per unauthorized activity, which curtailed efforts to perform or sign deals outside ADOR.
  • ADOR has indicated preparations are in place for group activities, including a full-length album, pending the members’ coordinated return.
