Fans Devastated by Lawyer’s Announcement Regarding NewJeans
Min Hee Jin scores big court win against HYBE, stirring drama around NewJeans’ contract battle.
The controversy started on February 12, when Min Hee Jin, former ADOR CEO, won a court case against HYBE. This reignited talks about NewJeans’ legal fight to end their exclusive contracts with ADOR. The court ruled in favor of ADOR.
Fans expected NewJeans to continue fighting. Instead, the members decided to return to the label. Shortly after, member Danielle was kicked out of the group.
People have been waiting to hear about Minji’s status. Many wondered why NewJeans gave up their appeal.
Lawyer Lee Sook Mi of Sejeong Law Firm finally spoke out. She said the group felt worn down by ongoing pain. The trial ruling included harsh terms that were ultimately settled in a shareholder agreement.
After Min Hee Jin’s win, Lee told reporters:
“The members decided to give up on the trial and returned to ADOR because they felt dejected by the continued suffering.”
Fans and even casual observers voiced sympathy online.
“I’m tearing up…I hope they can let this go and fly again.”
“Even adults find it hard to endure such incidents, so I wonder how hard it must be for kids that age to endure it when they see all their peers doing well.”
“Poor things… Those people who mocked them for going back should face payback.”
“Lawsuits aren’t easy.”
“This is so sad.”
As the situation unfolds, many accuse Min Hee Jin of “betraying” NewJeans. The debate is heating up online and fans remain heartbroken about the group’s tough legal battle and lineup changes.
