NewJeans vs. ADOR: Is This the End of the Girl Group Era?

Is NewJeans Done With ADOR for Good? Fans Shocked After Court Drama!

Let’s Break It Down Now 👀:

On June 4 KST, the courtroom got tense as the second hearing between NewJeans and their agency ADOR unfolded at the Seoul Central District Court. 

None of the NewJeans members were present—they let their legal team do the talking. What they did say though? Pretty intense: “The relationship of trust is completely shattered. We’ve crossed a river and can’t go back.” 😳 

Meanwhile, ADOR seemed more open to settling if the court makes a ruling first.
The heart of the battle? NewJeans claims ADOR failed them post-Min Hee Jin’s exit and stripped away their independence.

But ADOR clapped back, saying NewJeans is just scrambling to justify breaking the contract. With over a billion KRW in penalties hanging over their heads if they go solo, things are only getting messier. And the next showdown? July 24.

Fan Reactions:

Fans are spiraling in the comments:
💬 “This is getting messier than a K-drama 😭”
💬 “They should’ve waited until their comeback landed... this ain’t it.”
💬 “ADOR without Min Hee Jin isn’t ADOR... I get them tbh.”
💬 “They think they’re bigger than HYBE? Bold move lol.”

The fandom is definitely split—some blaming the company, others questioning NewJeans' timing and choices.

MY HONEST OPINION 🐝

Let’s be real: NewJeans might’ve underestimated how ruthless the industry can be when power and contracts are involved. Turning your back on the agency right after your leader gets pushed out? That’s a bold but risky play. Especially when your recent comeback didn’t hit as hard as pre-scandal drops. It’s giving “we thought we had more leverage than we do” energy. Hype is temporary—legal contracts, not so much.
