On the 22nd (local time), the members of "NewJeans" spoke in an exclusive interview with the American weekly magazine "TIMES" about the Korean court
He said he was "disappointed" in the court's ruling, adding, "I didn't expect the problems in the K-pop industry to change overnight."
He continued, "Compared to everything we've been through, this is just another stage in our journey."
"This is just the current reality of South Korea. But this is exactly why we believe change and growth are necessary," they said. They also said, "South Korea has made us into revolutionaries.
However, ADOR told TIME, "ADOR's goal is not to disrupt the careers of artists, but to allow them to continue their work under their existing contracts.
"We regret that this matter has been escalated to court," he said, "The misunderstanding caused by the mistake of the label's previous management was not justified, but also prevented the members from returning to the label.
On the 21st, the Seoul Central District Court's Civil Settlement Division 50 (Chief Judge Kim Sang-hoon) announced that ADOR had filed suit against five members of "NewJeans."
In November last year, after notifying ADOR of the termination of the exclusive contract, the company registered the trademark for "NJZ".
The members of "NewJeans", who had been working independently, decided that they had to return to ADOR just two days before their Hong Kong concert as "NJZ".
However, NewJeans said, "We plan to raise additional issues regarding the provisional injunction through the procedure of filing an objection, and in the process, we will supplement the documents and other materials as much as possible."
"We plan to continue fighting ADOR," and made it clear that they would continue to fight against the company.
However, attention will be focused on how the conclusion will be reached.
