Following the press conference, ADOR responded to NewJeans’ contract termination.
In the statement, they revealed that they were unaware of the conference. The company added that the contract was still valid as the company didn’t break trust or violate the agreement. They also shared that they tried to have meetings with NewJeans but hope they can help the group grow and work with them going forward.
“It is regretful that the members planned and carried out the press conference for the dissolution of their exclusive contracts before even receiving and sufficiently examining our reply to their certification of contents.
As the relevant party to the exclusive contract, ADOR did not violate the contract, and their one-sided claims that the trust has been broken cannot be a valid reason for voiding the contract. The contract between ADOR and NewJeans is still very much valid. As such, we hope that NewJeans will be with ADOR for their future schedules as they have previously.
We have continuously asked to meet with the members multiple times, but it has not happened. Even now, we hope that we can meet with open hearts for a deep conversation. ADOR support our artist NewJeans and their promotions, and will do our best so that they can continue to grow as a global artist.
