Why don’t NewJeans just terminate their contract?

    Because it will be so hard to do so. Hybe’s system is not your typical Kpop company setup where management and contracts fall under the same company. They have two authorities, so the idols most likely have two separate contracts: one for their label and one for the main label, or their contract is solely under Hybe as the parent company.


    Look at 50/50. The girls have evidence of being mistreated to some extent, but as Attrakt’s ceo, Jhj, blamed everything on The Givers/ASI as the management team, the 50/50 members were unable to claim anything directly against their company. The same thing could happen in Nj and Hybe situation. Hybe will play the 'not us' card, blaming everything on the new Ador ceo, or even Mhj and Ador management teams. Remember how they already blaming Mhj behind the delay of Nj album and tour? Proving that Hybe mistreated them would be difficult because the ones directly dealing with them are the new ceo who will be used as a shield for Hybe and the one that will take all the blame in the court, Mhj, and Ador staff, not Hybe higher-ups or staff—especially since Ador has its own separate team from the main company. It's much easier for Hybe to denied everything and accused the sublabels as not competent instead by themselves.


    If the girls want to terminate their contract, they need to plan carefully and make sure they have everything in place to defeat Hybe. It will also be a long journey, potentially taking months or even years to resolve. While the process is happening, Hybe will likely keep them in the 'dungeon' with no activities. Remember, it took almost 3 years for Jyj to finally terminate his contract with Sm. Hybe will also most likely bombard them with lawsuits to wear them down emotionally and financially. By the time everything is settled, the girls may have already lost their momentum.


    So yeah, it's not as easy as 'just terminate you contract if you dislike Hybe and want Mhj back'. It's never that easy. Fighting for Mhj to remain as the ceo at Ador is definitely easier for them to done and, honestly, the best choice for their own sustainability and careers. They get their original Ceo back, and they avoid having to go through lengthy direct legal battle with Hybe with no guarantee they will free from Hybe.

    Yea, mhj saw how it ended up with 5050 girls when they went yolo and started demanding contract termination from their company from get go. Mhj and girls need to weaken hybe and established proper grounds of termination before officially shooting their shot. Also since newjeans girls have not officially filed to terminate their contracts yet, so hybe's hands are tied, and they can't directly attack the girls else they will just be incriminating themselves. Newjeans are fighting this war with proper strategy.

    I don't think kpop Idols have the right to do so

    if yes then most popular members from nugu groups would just terminate their contract, open instagram and live happy life after this going to tv shows and variety programs on their own


    also those from agencies which ain't paying any money to members could also leave, but well no, they ain't, probably because most of them have trainee debt, so even if the termination would be possible then agency could demand, ok ok go fvck yourself but give me that 200k $ back asap, and kids don't have that money, neither do their parents


    overall it's complicated because on paper HYBE can always say they invested ton of money into group, and they could make a comparison to rookies in entertainment industry and say: "each member was paid 3.8M $, so why would they want to leave?"

    and that money itself could be a factor in any potential court case related to contract termination

    which is why I've said many times that NJ have laid the groundwork for a contract termination based on mistreatment


    and which is why I love this civil war because it's not about whose right and wrong - that's something we as the public will never know


    its about who can best utilise the best strategy to get what they want


    at the end of the day history is written by the victors!!!

    So you saying this was planned.. Interesting

    So you saying this was planned.. Interesting

    what is the truth?


    two people can discuss the same thing and come away with completely different interpretations of what was said based on language/tone/body language/mannerisms etc etc

    and that's not even taking into account perceived and personal biases when recounting said "truth"


    I've never said any of the persons involved are lying since I wasn't there I'm not privy to the evidence presented...that's why no judge in western law at least goes and finds "the truth"

    all they do is determine who is more likely to be believed than not based on the evidence presented - in criminal cases there's a higher bar compared to civil ones


    everything is a means to an end - people should understand that


    back to your original question then - yes both sides have a goal in mind and they've had ample time to negotiate and obviously it hasn't worked so both parties utilize all necessary means to win the war

    This is so true, none of us public know the real evidences or truths. It’s up to the courts to decide. They can’t just say we are terminating as there are millions in fees and possible future earnings to pay in penalties. HYBE owns the rights to their name and current catalogs so they would also have to try and buy those. I know they are millionaires but not that rich.


    A lot of us are just done with the drama and already moving on to groups with less drama. Hope NJ know what they are doing.

    What mistreatment? I mean all they are presenting is one issue of possible ignoring? Is that being mistreated? In the context of all that we see MHJ is blasting ILLIT and why wouldn’t someone say ignore them as what ever they may say might be taken out of context and used against them. That is if any of this is true, none of us in the public really know the truth or evidences.

    which is why NJ and MHJ just didn't go and try to buy out NJ's contract from day1 (or if they tried it was too expensive) so they have to utilize other methods of achieving their goals


    I'm not saying hybe is completely innocent in any of this as well they done plenty of shady stuff too


    at the end of the day the question is will either side's "fans" accept the judgment from the court

    I've never said the mistreatment is justified or that it's true but rather that it's been made


    I'm saying they are laying the groundworks for a mistreatment claim so they can (maybe? hopefully?) terminate their contract without paying all those termination fees etc etc


    again I said above about the truth of the matter is none of us will ever know whether there was mistreatment or misunderstanding or whether anything that was involved rises up to "well that's a contract terminable offence" level
