No they aren't their biggest hits on the chart

The song sounds very different from what I would expect from itzy. But they NAILED it. I love the dark feel the song has and the MV gives off the exact visuals. One of the best kpop releases of this year.

And the choreography is so elegant and on point with the song. Itzy always slays any choreo given to them

Everything is so perfect from the song to the visuals to the dance. The itzy girls did an amazing job executing it all.

I do want to see more of this side of itzy.

# **[Exclusive] One hour before NewJeans'

NewJeans held an emergency press conference on the 28th and announced the termination of their exclusive contract with their agency ADOR.

Just before the press conference, ADOR sent a 26-page response to NewJeans' ultimatum and content-certified mail.

While NewJeans members unanimously described the response as insincere, Yonhap News TV has exclusively obtained the contents of this response.

ADOR's basic position is clear.

They state that the exclusive contract signed between ADOR and NewJeans on April 21, 2024, remains valid until July 31, 2029 - seven years from their debut date.

They wrote that they had done their best to support NewJeans, resulting in the group's growth into a top-tier team both domestically and internationally in a short period.

Regarding the conflict between former CEO Min Heejin and parent company HYBE, they described it as an unexpected legal dispute, emphasizing that they continued to support NewJeans even after the change in CEO.

This included plans for fan meetings, regular album release, and world tour scheduled for next year.

However, they also expressed regret that NewJeans members and their parents did not give ADOR any opportunity for dialogue during this conflict.

Regarding the exclusive contract issues, they pointed out that failing to meet subjective expectations cannot be considered a contract violation.

They added that many of the issues that members claim as contract violations were actually problems caused by third parties' actions and words, not ADOR.

They explained that they had no means to enforce members' demands on third parties and added that the grounds and evidence were not clear.

From a legal perspective, they also expressed doubt about whether ADOR had committed violations severe enough to warrant contract termination.

They claimed they had faithfully fulfilled important aspects of the exclusive contract such as entertainment activity negotiations, support, receiving compensation, and settlements.

The following are ADOR's item-by-item explanations regarding the issues raised in NewJeans' content-certified mail:

---

**1. Regarding the request to take all necessary measures as NewJeans' management company in response to HYBE's decision to "abandon NewJeans and start fresh."**

ADOR basically drew the line saying the report was written by HYBE, and after requesting an explanation from HYBE, they said they received confirmation that "it was not content about HYBE abandoning NewJeans, nor was it content that 'decided' or 'directed' any specific concrete actions." They added that it would be difficult to take audit and personnel measures against HYBE members.

Specifically, they said they were told it was suggesting that for L* *******M, rather than being grouped under the name 'New-I-Le' and compared with two other artists, it would be better to position themselves alongside other girl groups who achieved million-selling first-week sales at the time (B*******K, a***a, I*E) and establish their own path.

**2. Regarding the claim that ADOR took no action and neglected the issue of another label's manager telling Hanni to "ignore her."**

ADOR clearly stated this was also related to another company's employee and emphasized that they "thought necessary measures should be taken without damaging the image of the artists, including Hanni."

They detailed their efforts to understand the specific circumstances of why the CCTV footage wasn't preserved, explaining that the person who directly checked the CCTV found no notable incidents except for one greeting scene and thus only preserved that scene. They also explained that they requested a meeting with the manager from that label (BELIFT LAB) but were refused.

**3. Regarding the request for ADOR to take action concerning inappropriate remarks by HYBE PR staff**

ADOR expressed deep regret for the discomfort and concerns the artist must have felt and explained that they immediately raised objections to HYBE PR and demanded measures to prevent recurrence.

They explained that while HYBE had excluded this PR staff member from ADOR and NewJeans PR duties, they received legal consultation regarding whether this staff member should be disciplined, and were advised that it either did not constitute grounds for disciplinary action or had a high possibility of being deemed unfair disciplinary action.

**4. Regarding the claim that NewJeans' trainee-era photos and videos were unauthorized disclosed through media and not deleted.**

ADOR stated that "as they were not the party that posted or distributed the videos, they couldn't directly delete them" but had requested the media outlets to stop posting and continue to do so. They also announced they are actively working to determine how these videos were leaked, including sending official documents to media outlets.

**5. Regarding the request to resolve NewJeans' damages due to HYBE's 'pushing out.'**

ADOR explained they received confirmation from HYBE that no 'album pushing out' occurred.

**6. Regarding the dispute with Director Shin Woo-seok of Dolphiners and the issue of existing works disappearing.**

ADOR claimed that while only the ETA Director's Cut was raised as an issue, Dolphiners independently deleted videos that they hadn't even requested to be removed.

ADOR explained that they had taken legitimate measures possible to prevent rights infringement.

**7. Regarding the request to take all necessary measures to maintain NewJeans' color and ensure their activities**

ADOR revealed that they had already communicated plans for domestic fan meetings, regular album release, and world tour for next year and were proceeding with these plans, but the artists continue to refuse discussions.

Regarding BELIFT LAB's planning copy claims, they said that after efforts to verify the facts, former director Min Heejin did not submit evidence, and BELIFT LAB responded that they "had already answered sufficiently through media interviews," making verification difficult.

**8. Regarding the request to reinstate former director Min Hee-jin as CEO**

ADOR firmly stated that "maintaining a specific person as CEO falls under the realm of ADOR board's management decisions."

They emphasized that while for 'production' rather than 'management,' they tried their best to respect the artists' wishes by working to ensure former director Min Heejin could continue as producer.

NewJeans will not file a preliminary injunction to terminate their exclusive contract. The most striking point from the press conference is their decision to terminate the contract as of midnight tonight without pursuing legal action. This is an unprecedented approach. Filing a preliminary injunction would mean being unable to act until a resolution is reached. However, by not filing a lawsuit, they can proceed independently.

In this case, ADOR would have to take legal action against NewJeans, and the group can simply wait for that. At this point, no one can prevent NewJeans from becoming independent. They are paving their own path and refusing to hide in the background. Watching them inspires a sense of positivity and makes you want to cheer them on.

Quote from Prongs

Maybe because Korean appreciate successful people with talent

Funny cause most of the time the lesser skilled visual always wins the popularity battle in Korea while the talented vocalist remains nugu. No one cares about talent lol if they did groups like nmixx and babymonster would be way bigger in Korea while in reality cracking top50 is difficult for these groups.

Those threads flop. Ppl just leave reactions and leave lol

Ppl talk when it's about stats or controversy because it's more interesting for everyone

The winter and Christmas overtake is here
