NewJeans manager accuses workplace bullying...ADOR says it will investigate ”behavior that harms the company”

The manager of the group "NewJeans" accused ADOR CEO Kim Juyeon of workplace bullying, and ADOR has taken legal action after investigating the case, claiming that "there was an act that harmed the company."
According to a Channel A report on the 10th, NewJeans manager A was forced to surrender his laptop and personal smartphone to ADOR.
According to the published petition, ADOR lured her with a business agreement, then suddenly issued her a standby order.
He illegally detained her for about three hours until her notebook computer at home was returned. He also forced her to hand over her personal smartphone without any legal basis, and the computer only contained personal documents.
It was reported that the employee had initialized his computer, but an investigation had been launched into the matter, with the employee being charged with initializing the computer as grounds for disciplinary action.
ADOR said, "A little while ago, an employee in charge of managing the artist contacted the advertiser directly and
"The manager himself has admitted to having such communications. This is an incident where an artist and a brand directly encouraged each other to enter into a contract without the involvement of the company," the company said.
"The manager in question is a member of ADOR and is a member of the contract between the company and the artist.
"We must carry out our duties so that the exclusive contract can be smoothly executed," and "Under the exclusive contract, the artist is obligated to carry out their entertainment activities only through ADOR."
ADOR immediately launched an investigation and gave the manager ample opportunity to explain himself, but he reportedly made statements that contradicted the clear evidence and refused to cooperate with the investigation.
"We had no choice but to place the employee on standby and demand the return of the computer, which is company property," he said. "In the process, there was no illegal confinement or other coercive behavior.
"We have requested an interview with Neja several times to give him a chance to explain himself, but he has refused all of these requests," the company said in a statement.
ADOR also stated, "In relation to the work carried out by employees using computers that are company assets,
The manager was asked to submit the computer, and after a few hours the computer was passed to someone else, who submitted it to the company but it was completely incomplete.
"The files were so formatted that they could not be restored," and "the manager in question was unable to confirm what files were deleted during the formatting process. ADOR will thoroughly investigate the matter.
"We will take the necessary legal action." Currently, NewJeans and its management office, ADOR, are in dispute over the exclusive contract.
On the 28th of last month, the members of "NewJeans" held a press conference and announced, "We will terminate our exclusive contract with ADOR on November 29th and will be forming HYB
ADOR responded by stating, "The exclusive contract is valid until July 31, 2029," and filed a lawsuit against the Seoul Central District Court on the 3rd.
A lawsuit was filed to confirm the validity of the affiliation contract.
