”NewJeans” at risk of being banned from the music industry... Japan Music Association announces strict measures

NewJeans is in a difficult position. On the 13th, the Korea Music Content Association (KCAA) issued a statement regarding the tampering case (contact before the contract expires).
The Korea Music Contest Association said, "The allegations of tampering against Min Hee Jin, former president of ADOR, whether true or not, clearly show how widespread tampering is in the Korean pop music industry.
This is extremely worrying in that it shows that such tampering attempts could occur not only in small and medium-sized planning companies, but also in large planning companies.
"We can no longer ignore this issue," he said. "Former CEO Min should clarify his exact position and the facts regarding the tampering allegations.
Numerous suspicions have been raised regarding Min's attempts at tampering and his embezzlement towards his former agency. Instead of avoiding the issue with inflammatory and vague answers, we will provide accurate facts.
"We hope that this issue will be made clear and the controversy will come to an end," the statement continued. "NewJeans should guarantee faithful implementation of the exclusive contract and hold sincere discussions with the production company.
If they cannot reach an agreement, they should wait for the decision of the Ministry of Justice.
The company will consider excluding the sales of albums and music by artists from its calculations. It will also consider excluding these from Music Program and major Korean music awards ceremonies, for which Circle Chart provides data.
Currently, the sales data for the Circle Chart is from KBS2 Music Bank, MBC Musiccore, SBS Inkigayo, Mnet M
COUNTDOWN" and 8 other ranking-based music programs, as well as music awards ceremonies such as the Circle Chart Music Awards, MAMA Awards, and Golden Disc Awards.
If "New Jeans" is excluded from the Circle Chart due to the tampering allegations, it will be difficult for it to appear on music charts or award ceremonies.
On the 28th of last month, NewJeans held an emergency press conference regarding the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR, stating, "We will terminate our contract with ADOR at midnight on the 29th.
"The fault lies with HYBE and ADOR, so there is no reason for us to sue them or pay any penalty," they said. ADOR responded by filing a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract.
Currently, "NewJeans" is not using the name "NewJeans" after announcing the termination of its contract with ADOR. If it disappears from the circle chart,
The crisis for "NewJeans" will only deepen. The future course of "NewJeans" will be closely watched.
