ADOR‘s latest statement regarding NewJeans’ Hanni is facing major backlash.
The group recently terminated their exclusive contract with ADOR, but the company has reiterated that the members are still signed with the company, recently sharing an update about their recent activities.
On December 20, it was revealed that Hanni’s visa is nearing the end, and ADOR made a statement about it.

Yet, while the issues of visas are important, netizens quickly hit back at ADOR for revealing and announcing the issue in a public way. In particular, many pointed out that there are many foreign idols, but the companies have never made it this obvious, believing ADOR is using it as an excuse to “reaffirm” that NewJeans’ contract with them is still valid.
ADOR bringing up Hanni’s work visa was so left field because firstly that’s her private matter and they shouldn’t be disclosing this to the public at all

ADOR's repeated assertions that "NewJeans' contract is still valid" just suggest that the contract isn't valid anymore, so they are resorting to influence public perception, hoping it might save them.
From what i've looked up, ADOR has the option to request an expedited hearing…

Today’s media play transmitted the message from HYBE: I won’t allow NJS to work as a whole in SK if they don’t work under ADOR, unless they tell me who’s their big boss behind the scene and I shall evaluate whether I can afford to offend it.

Woww ador again.. If you’re suggesting she’s ‘illegally’ residing there, then isn’t posting girls picture on social media also illegal? You had no connection with them when Omega and Vogue dropped. And if you think she’s still under your management, why are you sharing her…
