ADOR Claims Every NJZ Member Receives 5 Billion KRW, No Discrimination by HYBE

Kapanlagi.com - The feud between ADOR and NJZ is heating up with the latest claim that emerged on March 7, 2025. In a hearing held at the Seoul District Court, ADOR revealed that each member of NewJeans has received a settlement of 5 billion KRW (approximately 3.75 million USD). This becomes an important statement in the legal lawsuit regarding the validity of the exclusive contract of NewJeans, which is still valid until 2029.

According to ADOR, NJZ's claim for contract termination is deemed unfounded and inconsistent with objective facts. They emphasize that the contract has been well fulfilled, including in terms of providing opportunities for activities and fair profit sharing, which has made NewJeans a global group with significant achievements.

However, despite this statement, the dispute continues with NewJeans filing a lawsuit to terminate the exclusive contract. In this article, we will delve deeper into ADOR's claims and how this legal process is unfolding.

ADOR reveals that each NewJeans member has received a share of 5 billion KRW as part of a fair settlement. This payment is one form of their responsibility in fulfilling contractual obligations. It serves as evidence that the group has gained significant profits thanks to their collaboration with ADOR.

However, this claim has become the focal point in a legal dispute, with NewJeans stating that they do not feel protected and wish to terminate the contract. ADOR firmly responds to this claim, calling it speculation not supported by actual facts.

In an official statement, ADOR emphasizes that there is no discrimination in how HYBE treats NewJeans members. According to them, HYBE has invested a substantial amount of money, around 210 billion KRW, to support the success of this group. Given the magnitude of this investment, it is impossible for there to be discrimination against any member.

Additionally, ADOR also highlights that each member receives an equal share in terms of financial settlement, further reinforcing the claim that there is no differential treatment among them.

On March 7, 2025, ADOR filed a request to prevent NJZ from signing advertising contracts independently without their approval. This is part of a legal strategy to ensure that the exclusive contract with NewJeans remains valid until 2029. In this process, ADOR hopes to obtain a favorable ruling to maintain control over the group’s management.

This legal case began in December 2024, after NJZ announced their intention to terminate the exclusive contract with ADOR. This court process is key in determining the fate of their contractual relationship going forward.

On November 28, 2024, NewJeans held an emergency press conference to announce their intention to terminate their exclusive contract with ADOR. They even introduced the name 'NJZ' for their independent project and revealed plans to release a new song at the 'ComplexCon' event to be held in Hong Kong in March 2025. This became an important statement in the context of the tensions occurring between both parties.

However, ADOR responded to the action by stating that their decision did not comply with the terms of the contract that is still valid until 2029. Both parties continue to debate the validity of that claim.
