    You got shown to be idiot, a gullible one.
    You got shown to be making a stupid assumption from an account (probably your own given the lack of views on it) that can't even spell correctly and made their assumptions from that.
    It was like an idiot on idiot sandwich.


    You can sit down and shut up now and just eat your mistake. Because in the end your little "Look what AI thinks about two users that ARENT SNIPER" just did nothing.

    Sniper ? Is that you ?

    Chill.

    I can sense naver comment section will be full of rage from NJZ haters.the girls are really farming their karma points these days. We got your back, girls!!

    [Interview] Attorney Jang Seo-yeon of the GongGam Public Interest Lawyers Group for Human Rights


    “Long-term 7-year contracts without understanding of rights and obligations are unfair.


    Agencies must respect idols’ voices.


    Sensational reporting by media and portals also to blame.”


    Attorney Jang Seo-yeon, a human rights lawyer with the GongGam Public Interest Law Foundation, has called for reform of the entertainment industry’s practice of requiring long-term exclusive contracts from idols, calling it an “unfair contract structure” in light of the dispute between NewJeans (NJZ) and their agency, ADOR.


    In an interview with Women’s News on the 24th, Jang stated, “The most urgent issue that needs to be addressed is the excessively long exclusive contract period of seven years,” adding, “There needs to be a system that ensures idols are thoroughly informed of their rights and obligations at the time of signing.” She also emphasized the need for a “credible mediation body.”


    She expressed hope that “this case will be remembered as a significant example of respecting the voices of idols themselves.”


    Jang continued, “Even if an agency fulfills its obligation to settle earnings, that doesn’t mean their responsibilities end there. A structure is needed that reflects the idol’s mental, physical state, and intentions throughout their entertainment activities.” She added, “I hope this case becomes a legal precedent to evaluate how agencies are required to maintain the ‘high level of trust’ in long-term exclusive contracts.”


    On the 23rd, Attorney Jang published a legal commentary on the NewJeans exclusive contract dispute, criticizing the “imbalanced contract structure centered on agencies” in the entertainment industry. She stressed that “agencies should bear the legal responsibility to maintain a high level of trust, and if that trust is broken, idols should be granted the legal right to terminate the contract.”


    Jang also criticized the indiscriminate reporting competition among entertainment media and “cyber wreckers” (YouTubers or influencers who exploit scandals for profit) that emerged in the wake of the NewJeans dispute. In her interview, she said, “Portals bear a huge responsibility. In their race for clicks, media outlets are pushing out sensational content just to maximize portal exposure.” She continued, “Even after repeated tragic events involving celebrities, there’s no effort toward self-reflection. Regulation is now necessary.”


    She further pointed out that “in this case as well, not only NewJeans but female celebrities in general were disproportionately targeted by malicious media coverage.” She specifically criticized the reporting of private messages by former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin as a form of personal attack, saying, “This behavior highlights the need for clear ethical standards in entertainment journalism.”


    Jang also emphasized the need to raise gender sensitivity in production environments and across entertainment agencies. “While there are some regulations limiting overly sexualized concepts for underage idols, women in the idol industry remain exposed to environments that make them vulnerable to sexual violence.” She noted that while sexual violence against female entertainers may qualify as grounds for contract termination, “the current standard contracts and industry norms still fall far short of incorporating sufficient gender sensitivity.”


    Meanwhile, NewJeans and ADOR have been in an ongoing contract dispute since November 2024. On November 29, NewJeans notified ADOR of their intent to terminate their exclusive contract and announced plans to pursue independent activities. ADOR responded by filing a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract and requested an injunction to prevent the members from engaging in independent promotions.


    On March 21, the court granted ADOR’s request, acknowledging their substantial support for the members and stating that there was no evidence of major contract violations such as failure to settle earnings. The court also stated, “Even if there were minor shortcomings in ADOR’s execution of contractual duties, it is difficult to conclude that the foundation of trust in the exclusive contract has collapsed.” NewJeans challenged the ruling, but their objection was dismissed on March 16. They have since filed an immediate appeal.


    Regarding Jang’s commentary and the broader NewJeans dispute, ADOR told Women’s News, “We have no particular comment.”

    It is interesting that someone be this mad over "wrong accusations" toward hate account like snipper...I mean sniper, I mean sniper22. The account whom btw dedicated his/her whole tweet to "reporting" newjeans news, using NJ member as profile picture, and lead the hate mass in its comment section.


    And why so angry for "gullible idiot" accusing hate account as bots? didn't know it can be insulting matter, lol.

    Lol. Why got you all worked up with one p?

    But interesting enough that despite only with incorrect letter, AI still giving the picture of haerin. sniper as bots is so much "cool" rather than actual person. It's must be very tiring being human that needs to bring down other human all the time.

    Newjeans is freed once it pays the fee but, the fee it has to pay is not only the penalty fee. It has to pay "damage fee" also. Newjeans still is contracted to Ador and any missed prospective activity incurs damage to Ador. For example, MHJ Ador planned a world tour for Newjeans, which has been canceled by Ador newjeans. Once Newjeans loses the lawsuit, Ador may estimate the world tour income and demand that presumed money from Newjeans which basically zero cause ador "fired" MHJ and killed the plan. The damage fee is accumulating to none as Newjeans misses more and more imaginary activities which delusionally planned by Ador, since the only Ador has done killed the Newjeans collaboration and cancelled fans meeting.

    The penalty fee itself may be not as large as the damage fee as the judge will adjust the penalty fee to "reasonable" price.

    If I understand correctly, the dispute is on the stocks Hybe gave to Min Heejin, not her employment status It's done for that she has been fired. No dispute on this except when it can be backfired for Ador in court, we will use term she resigned not fired. No coming back.

    Who will win or lose is hard to tell as we are not literate in Korean/stock enough to fully understand the detail.

    if article in ten asia telling the truth.

    ..... I mean are not NJ suppose to be young adult that can act profensional ?

    Sure, because 40yo man made suggestive act in ig story,adult telling kids to ignore kids, gave f in social media after caught stealing, pr screaming "bitch" in x, ador said nothing about journalist spreading minors family issues, are truly an act of professional....


    But God forbid NJ cant act professional for their ages....

    Two honest questions:


    I don't understand why they are appealing again. Can they hope for a new panel? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they have to pay for the whole trial when they lose? So aren't they just wasting money or is there a good reason? For example, do they don't have to work for hype while the appeal goes on?


    If they lose after say a year, and its less money to terminate at that time how long does it take to termiate? Is it just pay the penilty and be done or does that take time.

    It's a due process. Appeal will be different judge.

    Mm yeah, lawyer gets paid lose or win.

    If they are willing to lose big money, then they are deadly serious doesn't want to work with Ador/Hybe extension.

    No they don't have to work with Hybe when lawsuit court is still on going.

    They can directly terminate once court decides there is penalty or not.

    Some mods on this site are just questionable. Ive seen power trips, favoritism (very blatant), name-calling, etc.


    Cuz I've read worst stuff here but some mods find it okay. But who knows man maybe there's more in the background (and I do not want to know cuz what goes on in public with some mods are just something...) :pepe-shrug:

    Personal attack not allowed, but yeah, spewing hate and slur toward idols are pretty much "tolerated" here. Maybe instead of attacking the user, we are allowed to insult their idols too ? I mean, I can go proving NJ are not ped* target while their idols the real are (with full graphic) , but then I will get banned :pepe-shrug: . I even got ban for calling out people who implied NJ is ped* victim. So the algorithm of ethic is still confused me.

    Almost got me at this,

    They explained, “It’s important to understand the weight of this injunction. It's an extremely powerful measure. Injunctions are rarely granted because they prevent artists from doing anything until the lawsuit concludes, which is considered a harsh outcome. But in this case, the court must have found that ADOR didn’t commit any significant fault justifying contract termination. That’s likely why the decision was made.

    then completely lost me at this.

    In that video, titled "NewJeans → NJZ → mhdhh(?) Rumors of Division Between Parents, Fandom Split, Injunction Appeal Rejected… Is Recovery Possible?", the lawyers said, “We told you a split was inevitable. The image is being damaged, the lawsuit continues, financial losses are piling up, and everyone’s personal lives are spiraling. No matter how young they are, at least some of the members or their parents must be starting to think, ‘Something’s not right.’ We’re watching them rush toward a cliff in the wrong direction.”

    Really ? Isn't this just them made up some stories full of their own opinion of unconfirmed news?


    And to say 15 years is called "veteran" ??? If you are in you tube instead of at court, then you are not eligible to be called "veteran" lawyer. You are YouTuber. Lol. In the last 15 years, there are only less than 5 notable contract case in kpop. How many artist contract dispute they had handled and won, to make them "expert" enough to give their legal opinion ? Smh.

    Court can't force people to stay when they don't want to. What court can do is to make them pay the lawsuit,if any. And lawsuit can be paid. It's not game over. It also means court must let them do what they do to earn their living (to pay the lawsuit). Court can't charge them both, prevent them to work while still asking them to pay the lawsuit is appeal case waiting to happen. So stop asking them to stay because "it seems like the best option". Pfft.


    And people who bash the girls just want to avoid pay lawsuit, check a mirror . When 7 months ago you keep wishing "I hope Hybe throw them away", I bet you didn't mean Hybe to also pay ton of penalty money, right ? Such a hypocrite.


    And you think Hybe is out of their good heart want the girls to stay now ? hah! They made all this media play and slowly damage girls support system (MHj, Ador staff, dolphin director, parents) so they could pressure NJ enough to leave by themselves, so they don't have to be the one who pay the penalty.

    Having said that, one thing I can agree on, as you say it would be near impossible to make a "hostile take over" when Hybe controll about 85 % of the share. But the the accusations was not about a normal "hostile take over" but more that MHJ was not loyal and had other plans to increase her own power and control and find other means to force Hybe to give up their control of the company.

    Then resolve or fired her internally. Why bring media and outside fanwar that backfired to them ?
