I find it very difficult to work it into a conversation in my home language too. I have forced myself to say it but it's very rare.

New peaks across the board.

TBL probably has a TT that they have a lot of confidence in lined up for MEOVV's first comeback.

Quote from ISaidISaid

Blind obedience is not it. But anyone can be mislead which I believe is what is happening with them.

I also believe CBX were mislead by that weird dude, this not is not something that just happens to teen girls. It can happen to anyone.

Idols are just ppl. It’s very easy to see when they make wrong choices. Just because they “deliberately” make that choice doesn’t mean we can’t see it for what it is : a terrible idea.

It's suddenly very easy to see when a company is no longer actively smoothing how things look to the public over. Just because things look less messy under the umbrella of a big company doesn't things aren't going terrible.

Kim Minju, literally Korean Tzuyu, sky would have been the limit.

Quote from icyruios

Was this brought up as one of the points for mistreatment to terminate the contract?

Since you mentioned it is facts so was it brought up and was the evidence sufficient to support that claim for it to be a fact?

Because this would be a very strong point to bring to court if there was evidence to suggest it

From what I read most of the girls points were shut down due to lack of evidence so was there evidence that was brought into court to support that claim that they were going to go on hiatus by Ador?

Yes, they definitely brought it up, the judge does not deny that this was indeed stated by Hybe CO-CEO, but it can't be proven that Ador then did indeed impose a significant hiatus on NewJeans.

Made it to 30!

Quote from qamar-atti

Will open my mouth after a long time,

This whole thing turned out the way it is because at the start min hee jin got huge public support after her interview. I just can't shake off the thought, would the girls and their parents choose to support her this heavily and publicly if public response was neutral to min hee jin.

They probably would have spend more time in determining pros and cons of siding with her, and probably would have reconcile with hybe and choose their career over it.

I hate how their parents despite having years of experience let their young, teenager daughters be used by a woman and even involved them in court cases which would just benefit minheejin, like did they seriously thought that kpop industry doesn't have any other creative director other than her.

Girls are young. People happen to be overly emotional and attached at this age, why their parents supported them in choosing such a risky uncertain path its beyond my understanding.

There are thousands of pages of internal documents concerning industry reviews i.e. how to make other groups look bad to make Hybe groups, BTS, TXT, LSF look good. It shows pretty well that NewJeans was seen as one of the other groups by Hybe long before MHJ left.

I really don't think they want to succeed with the group that will always be seen as MHJ's legacy, they just don't want them to succeed anywhere else either.

Quote from David33

Well, without MHJ, your girls wouldn't go against ADOR and HYBE, and they would still have a job. The only reason they fighting with them because MHJ lost her job.

HYBE/ADOR is a nice company? HELL NO, but which one is? Neither. The girls and everyone know this, but they still signed with them. For 2 years they didn't say anything, until MHJ wanted more money or whatever was the reason she came out from her cave.

Without MHJ, ADOR wouldn't exist, nor would these girls have the job they did. Except for Minji but she did not sign up with Hybe as you describe, she was a trainee at Source before it had anything to do with Hybe and was acquired along with everything at Source by Hybe in order to give MHJ her girls group and thereafter handpicked by MHJ.

Whiplash > Drama > Supernova

ADOR had male trainees and plans to debut a group last year. MHJ's dismissal evidently ended those plans indefinitely but this judge also states that ADOR is perfectly capable of replacing MHJ at any time. It's almost as if ADOR doesn't need to care about replacing MHJ or the revenue NewJeans brings in until this case is over because they are part of a much bigger entity.

For, but I have no image or text that I'm passionate enough about to want to permanently put it on my body so I haven't put my money where my mouth is.

I've come to really dislike it though I increasingly use Gemini to pad out work emails.

Me Too by Meghan Trainor is currently high up in my spotify stats.

Quote from kingkook

If going on a voluntary hiatus was their plan if they lost the injunction, then why did they plan to terminate their contract with HYBE in the first place? Wasn't the whole point of leaving HYBE to avoid being put on an extended hiatus? It seems like the NewJeans members had complete faith that the court would favor them. If they're really willing to die on this hill and continue fighting for Min Heejin, I don't have much hope for their future. Best of luck to the girls, ig!

The court case hearing is in April, it's a hiatus of a month or two, compared a year and a half. The planned hiatus is just an example of mistreatment, they'd have many years more left working under an entity that is expressly working to help other groups succeed against them.

And while they might be reunite with Min Heejin at the end of all this if they get that opportunity, I wouldn't reduce things to fighting for Min Heejin, they're fighting for themselves against Ador/Hybe.

Quote from bzzz

Yet, as the court ruled the contract still was effective, there could be some repercussion not working for Ador.

I can see Ador deliberately set them up in even greater debt by scheduling them to work a multi billions won project knowingly they would decline so Ador could levy estimated income from the project on them as damage fee.

ADOR may yet pull something that the effect you suggest but for the time being they are not returning to work. The injunction doesn't and can't force them too.
