NewJeans manager accuses workplace harassment, but ADOR is found not guilty

The incident is suspected as the manager of the Korean girl group "NewJeans" A sued Kim Juyeon, CEO of ADOR, a label under HYBE, for workplace power harassment.
According to a Korean media report on the 24th (today), the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office under the Ministry of Employment and Labor recently filed a lawsuit against Kim Juyeon, CEO of formerADOR, stating that A had filed a lawsuit against Kim Juyeon, CEO of formerADOR.
