could haerin and hyein leave HYBE ?

Not realistic, the girls are moving together. Also the position of the parents is probably the same as the girls, it would be weird they decide something different in the case they have the chance.

Anyway looking at the contracts I doubt the girls or the parents will decide anything for now.

Wouldn't all of them be 19 already by the time they have to renew?

If they want to, why not?

I assume so. It was estimated that the total penalties would be around 153m, and more, with each member around 30.6m+. They will need big investors to get out of the contracts. It probably will take a long time to get everything sorted, too.

The members sign a 7 year contract, which is the standard in kpop, so they are bound by that contract. They can however buyout the contract.

imo based on the buyout penalty, MJH wouldn't be interested in taking on this debt.

Last year NJ's profit was 30million, although I imagine this would increase. Thats not going make much of a dent into 5 x 50 = 250 million. So it would take 5+ years to pay off the debt.

So unless she can get them for a lot cheaper, she isn't really going to want to take them.

MHJ can take care of that. She is a multi millionaire after all.

She loves the girls so much. I'm sure she's willing to spend millions on them. ☺️

Maybe this was why there a sudden attack on BTS.

To further drive down Hybe's stock price so she could 'free' the girls.

Hybe should just let newjeans go for free to show koreans how generous and kind hearted they are

as people above have said no one leaves kpop contracts (or any contracts by that matter) freely-nilly

if they could we wouldn't get situations like omega x or 5050 etc etc

and people seem to be thinking contract termination fees are "cheap" - they are certainly not...

a prudent (hardass???) company would write it in their contracts to make it even harder

for example non-big4 companies would add trainee debt to a termination fee.

the big4 companies would likely calc the termination fee to be the present value of the contract
