[TVDaily’s reporter Kim Ji-hyun] Employees from HYBE’s label, ADOR, tried to support NewJeans’ independent schedule, but the members did not accept it. It has been confirmed that ADOR staff who went to Hong Kong didn’t get to see the members’ faces.
NewJeans performed as headliners at ComplexCon in Hong Kong on the 23rd. This event marks the first schedule NewJeans arranged without going through ADOR. Although it essentially falls under independent activities, ADOR sent staff to Hong Kong as a gesture of reconciliation to support the members.
However, ADOR employees were unable to meet with the NewJeans members. This situation highlights the members’ firm resolve to operate independently of ADOR.
