After a year of legal conflict, members of K-pop group NewJeans have decided to return to their agency, ADOR. The group first made headlines in November 2024 when they held a press conference and announced their intent to terminate their exclusive contracts with the company.
On November 12, ADOR revealed that member Haerin and Hyein were the first to agree to uphold their contracts after extensive discussions. Soon after, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle also confirmed their decision to return, though the announcement for one member was delayed due to her being overseas in Antarctica. The agency assured fans that NewJeans intends to continue delivering heartfelt performances and music.
Why it matters
The resolution of this dispute marks a major turning point in NewJeans’ career. With the full five-member lineup back under ADOR, fans expressed their support for the group, emphasizing their respect for the members’ choices and their excitement for future activities. The return reinforces NewJeans’ commitment to their artistry and reconnects them with a fan base that has stood by them during the uncertain period.
