The popular K-Pop group NewJeans has officially announced its departure from the agency ADOR, citing mistreatment and disputes as the primary reasons for their exit. In an emergency press conference, the members revealed that they have terminated their contracts, although ADOR claims that the contracts are still valid. The controversy escalated with a 22-page response from ADOR, which insisted it had done everything possible for the group. The split has sparked a significant reaction from fans and industry experts, who are closely watching the unfolding situation, which includes former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin filing a criminal complaint against HYBE’s PR executives amid ongoing legal tensions. NewJeans expressed a desire to collaborate with Min Hee-jin in the future and plans to release new music along with a world tour in 2025.
