The long-awaited lawsuit between NewJeans and ADOR over an exclusive contract will officially begin in April.
According to the legal community, the 41st Civil Agreement Division of the Seoul District Court set April 3 at 11:30 AM KST as the first hearing date for the two parties.
Last November, NewJeans announced they would terminate their exclusive contracts with ADOR and file a lawsuit to regain the group name and continue independent activities.

They also held a contest for a new group name just in case and expressed their position on not returning to ADOR.
With this, ADOR filed a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract, claiming that the contract with the members was still valid.

It is unfortunate that the members are trying to pursue independent activities, such as choosing a new group name before trial, as this could be a breach of contract.
In response, NewJeans has appointed Sejong Law Firm as their legal representative to ADOR’s injunction.
Korean netizens also left messages of support for the girls.
- “NewJeans hwaiting!”
- “I hope the injunction on the advertising contract goes through quickly! NewJeans hwaiting!”
- “The results come out in March!”
- “Right! I wish time would go by faster.”
- “Hwaiting!”
