Seoul Court Blocks NewJeans from Independent Activities in Contract Dispute

The ruling upholds ADOR's exclusive management rights, as the broader lawsuit over contract validity continues.

The Seoul Central District Court granted ADOR's injunction, barring NewJeans (now NJZ) from pursuing independent music or advertising activities.
The court determined that unilateral termination of the contract would cause significant damage to ADOR's business and reputation.
NewJeans had accused ADOR of workplace harassment and career sabotage, but the court found insufficient evidence of contract violations by the label.
ADOR emphasized its commitment to supporting the group's career under the existing contract and denied allegations of retaliation.
The broader legal battle over the validity of NewJeans' exclusive contracts with ADOR remains unresolved.
