Court Accepts ADOR’s Injunction Against NJZ (NewJeans) Regarding Independent Activities

On March 21, the 50th Civil Agreement Division of the Seoul Central District Court accepted ADOR’s application for an injunction against the NewJeans members to “preserve the status of the agency and prohibit the signing of advertising contracts.”
The court ruled that NJZ (NewJeans), who is in an exclusive contract dispute with ADOR, should not engage in independent activities.
Previously, NewJeans promoted their own activities last November after claiming that their contracts were terminated due to the violation of ADOR’s contract.
With this, ADOR filed an injunction against the five members, preventing them from signing advertisement contracts independently.
They also expanded the injunction application to prohibit them from any entertainment activities, such as writing, composing, and singing.
