NewJeans’ Music Video Director Files Complaint Against ADOR Executives

According to media outlet SPOTV News, director Shin Woo Seok has begun legal action against ADOR.

It was revealed that he filed a complaint against ADOR’s CEO, Ju Young Kim, and Vice CEO, Lee Do Kyung, for defamation.

Director Shin is known for NewJeans’ music videos, including “Ditto,” “ETA,” and “OMG.” He also ran the YouTube channel Ban Heesoo, which received a huge response from fans worldwide.

Amid the HYBE and ADOR controversy, Shin revealed that ADOR requested the deletion of NewJeans-related videos and other works. In particular, the Ban Heesoo YouTube channel’s content garnered much attention from various age groups.

However, ADOR fired back, stating that they only requested suspending the “ETA” music video director’s cut, which they had previously had conflict with. They argued that they did not request the deletion or suspension of any videos related to NewJeans.

When director Shin exposed that ADOR had threatened to double the service fee and lied to the media, ADOR refuted it, claiming that Shin had violated the contract.

I will submit recordings, emails, and documents needed to sue ADOR’s CEO and vice CEO for defamation.
