Adore’s first hearing regarding the ‘injunction to prohibit agency status preservation and advertising contract signing’ against the NewJeans members was held at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 7th, with the girl group NewJeans in attendance. On March 7, 2025, NewJeans members Minji, Hani, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein arrived at the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court for the hearing filed by Adore.
On this day, the NewJeans members arrived at the court wearing black suits and traveling in a white car. They entered the courtroom expressionlessly, looking down at the ground without making any comments. Inside the court, the members are having small conversations among themselves while waiting for the hearing to begin.
This injunction was filed by Adore to have its status as the manager (agency) in the exclusive contract recognized until the first judgment on the validity confirmation lawsuit of the exclusive contract, filed on December 3 of last year, is delivered. Additionally, it aims to prevent NewJeans members from independently signing advertising contracts and engaging in advertising activities without Adore’s approval or consent.
