The K-pop world is buzzing over a clash between NJZ (also known as NewJeans) and their former agency, HYBE’s ADOR. On March 11, Chosun Biz reported that ex-ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin allegedly meddled in contract matters, and the quintet officially left the company. This came after ADOR’s injunction hearing on March 7, sparking questions about foul play.
ADOR claims Min Hee Jin intervened before NJZ’s exclusive deal ended in late 2024. They cite November 14, 2024, as the date the group requested contract corrections, with Min resigning six days later. Then, on November 28, NewJeans announced their termination—just before ADOR’s response deadline. As evidence, ADOR presented KakaoTalk messages, emails, and a suspicious PDF allegedly created via Min’s corporate account, S&K, hinting at unauthorized influence.
There’s even more controversy about documents that mention Sejong, Min Hee Jin’s legal rep, plus an outdated phrase referencing “early this year.” ADOR believes these inconsistencies prove tampering. This ongoing controversy overshadows the group, leaving fans to wonder if NJZ can rebound or if this legal feud will cause a disbantment. Meanwhile, the Seoul Central District Court ordered the quintet to submit a more detailed justification for their contract termination by March 14, 2025, as their previous proofs didn’t suffice.
