AKP forum survey about NewJeans ahead of the court's final verdict

  • However, the girls went via the proper method before termination, asking Ador to heed to their demands (the CEO thing was a no-go, as it would have to be decided by HYBE, who wouldn't do such a thing as to reinstate MHJ)

    actually i would disagree with this


    True the procedure was the right one they made their demands, wait for some time for HYBE to fulfill their demands and when it wasn't the case they consider their contract expire


    The problem isn't on the procedure it's more on the substance


    These types of demands happen when one party doesn't respect their contractual obligations

    In this case the victim ask for the other parts to fulfill their demands and respect the contract to continue the contract


    But some of Newjeans claims had nothing to do with their contract


    • Like asking to bring back MHJ as CEO
    • Asking yo bring back the CEO of dolphin company that produced their music video
    • Or even asking for apology from the manager that ask another idol to not greet Hanni

    None of them had any link to their contract

    Nothing in their contract mention that NJ is a group that will exclusively work with MHJ or Dolphin studio


    And for the manager apology there's no proof that this incident happen

    So a judge consider that a person doesn't have to publicly apologize for something that they might have not done


    A judge can easily consider that these demands from Newjeans were made with a lack of good faith because it look like they only took advantage of the situation to put pressure on HYBE to bring back MHJ.

    + Consider that it's a show of bad faith that they made such demands that for some were clearly impossible to fulfill for HYBE


    Which could be a big disadvantage for NJ cuz all contracts needs to be sign and execute with good faith, it's one of the most important contractual principle.


    Because this type of demand should be reasonable and be made in hope to continue the contractual relationship between both party.

    In their case NJ demands seems exaggerated and the judge can consider that by doing this they knew that HYBE couldn't meet their demands and the contract will be "expire"


    Which is another sign of bad faith cuz a judge can say " ok but it seems that you clearly went ahead with this demand because it's the procedure, but based on the substance of your demands it looks like you never wanted to repair the contractual relationship with HYBE"


    And also that all these demands have no direct link to the contract so they should have never been made


    Also the girls can't even raise the argument to say " yeah but we sign the contract because MHJ was the CEO of ador ".

    A party's motive for entering into a contract is generally irrelevant to its legal enforceability, unless explicitly incorporated into the contract's terms

  • Not denying that some of the substance of their demands wasn't doable, but something like taking action against malicious comments and launching an investigation into the leakage of those trainee videos was within their remit.


    Having MHJ as CEO is doable by the board, but it would be for Hybe to sign off on it, which they would not, and by the board voting for her, it would be defying what Hybe had already done.

  • Just to be clear on my stance:


    Nobody should be able to abuse a contract. An artist shouldnt be able to just collect money on an hourly and companies shouldnt be allowed to trap artists in.


    I dont even really care that its NewJeans, i just happened to already love NewJeans.


    I also DONT think NewJeans did anything wrong. They have a splintered management system now and they were being told by a brand new imposter “don’t go there” while their entire team who had legally set everything up originally was being fired/let go, and they chose to follow #1 the team they knew and #2 the ability to perform again because its their job. I think that they got really bad legal advice and should, if anything, just need to give those profits to HYBE from anything they earned as “NJZ”


    Imagine they set everything up, had fans pay out tickets etc and just didnt show up on the flipside?


    NewJeans never die

  • Having MHJ as CEO is doable by the board, but it would be for Hybe to sign off on it, which they would not, and by the board voting for her, it would be defying what Hybe had already done.

    Yeah but once again having MHJ as CEO is unrelated to their contract.


    And it might just be an argument for HYBE to show that NJ members were of bad faith


    And never wanted to fix their relationship with HYBE


    And they just use the opportunity of their legal action to put pressure on HYBE to bring back MHJ when it's unrelated to their contract


    And it's just an argument that HYBE can use in court by saying that it's a proof that the reason why NJ are trying to nullify their contract isn't because of breach of trust but only to follow MHJ after she was fired

  • Sooyoung "I stand by law" and then proceeds to write essays every time saying how njz did something wrong as if it justifies Hybe plan of dungeoning them, as if justifies the work bullying they got bc yes, they got it, as if justifies Hybe trying to put others groups above them bc they were/are the biggest Hybe group post BTS.

    If the judge favors njz, great, if it doesn't, it won't surprise me as we know how corrupted the world is, specially k-pop industry. So let's not act like the law is always right.
