NewJeans’ Haerin, Hyein, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle Returning to ADOR
NewJeans members Minji, Hanni, and Danielle have confirmed their return to ADOR, following a recent decision by their group. This announcement comes after the earlier declaration by Haerin and Hyein, who also expressed their intent to remain with the label.
Details of the Return to ADOR
On November 12, ADOR officially announced the continuation of activities for Haerin and Hyein. According to their statement, both members reached this decision after thorough consideration and family discussions. They decided to honor the court’s ruling affirming their exclusive contracts.
In light of this, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle also released a statement. They mentioned the delay in their announcement was due to one member being in Antarctica. As ADOR was non-responsive at that moment, they took it upon themselves to clarify their return.
Historical Context of NewJeans’ Situation
- On November 28 last year, NewJeans held a press conference to announce their intention to leave ADOR.
- They cited unresolved issues with the company as the main reason for their departure.
- ADOR, however, maintained that the members’ contracts were valid and pursued legal action.
- A lawsuit was filed in December to affirm the validity of these contracts.
- In February, NewJeans adopted the name “NJZ” for their independent activities, but were halted by a court injunction in March.
- The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of ADOR on October 30, upholding the contracts of NewJeans members.
Moving forward, ADOR is committed to ensuring that both returning and remaining members can engage in entertainment activities seamlessly. Fans are encouraged to provide their support during this transition.
Ongoing Developments
While the members are returning, ADOR has requested that fans refrain from speculation regarding their decisions. The agency is currently verifying the specifics of the situation concerning Minji, Hanni, and Danielle’s return as well.
The members of NewJeans aim to continue providing their fans with heartfelt music and performances, indicating a hopeful direction for the group’s future.
