at the end of the day, new jeans remains a rookie group that released only two mini albums and three singles. not much of a discography there yet to show any lasting artistry. their so-called "success" is not deep-rooted, and is based on short-term "trendiness." they do not even write, compose, or produce their own music; they rely on a creative team to dictate their music & choreography as puppet performers. the group is essentially a product of PR imaging, and paid media can only take them so far. the individual members are not yet even established as solo artists; without the new jeans name, they have nothing else.

NewJeans in 2 years left a huge impact than groups that have been around for many many years. Don’t you even dare try to deny their impact. “Short term trendiness” yet all of their songs still get so many streams daily. They’re always trending both in Korea and globally. Also, they did in fact participate in writing some lyrics for their songs so clearly you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Even without their name “NewJeans” they will always be famous.

My bet is they are connected well with the government, because of their ability to bring "the case of being ignored by their work colleagues" to National assembly speaks volume, meanwhile there is a lot of bullying case in SK, but National Assembly couldn't care less.

[@butterfliesonmymind705]

Truth is, Hybe could just replace these girls with five other girls and call it a day. Not writing, coreographing or having established themselves in ANY WAY shape or form in this industry does this. New jeans doesn‘t have a single member that sticks out with something other than their appearance. They were literally just mhj‘s dolls that breathed life into her „vision“ (whatever the loving f she actually made up herself). It could have been anyone. What makes new jeans, new jeans is their music, which those five girls sitting there do not create.

But, after Hybe is done suing MHJ and everyone else involved in her smear campaign to hurt Hybe and steal Ador and NJ, something that she planned 3 years ago with the help of a shaman btw, maybe you'll see who has actually harmed NJ and other artists who she also pushed between her and Hybe's lawsuits against her.

@@bunzobunnyy Artist sabotage by the label is a literary trope. It doesn't actually happen, it's just a topic of conversation in fandoms, people who don't work, obviously. No label sabotages their artists. Every time you bring up label sabotage, you're already talking about something that has zero value in court and, in fact, doesn't exist. As you can see, the CEO changed a few months after the audit. They just had to wait and they would have continued their careers with the new CEO and new staff, even with MHJ as creative director.

If anything, Hybe as a company being rather lenient and not going to court to give them big old fine and get them blacklisted as of now. Hybe cares about MONEY?! A business cares about money, what a shocker. Without those awful, awful hybe's money, NJ wouldn't be popular or even exist as a "New Jeans" concept.

Also apart from ignoring Hanni, BELIFT even sexualized newjeans before and never even apologized for it. minji was first on the deepfake list and not even their own company decided to protect her. newjeans themselves have also said there are deeper things that happened to them that they can't discuss due to contracts. yet here you are saying, “what mistreatment” If this isn’t enough to leave that horrible company then idk what is.

[@PetitsPas_]

I’m surprised people don’t see what’s unfolding here. This press conference wasn’t just about MHJ and NewJeans-it was about shifting the narrative to “HYBE vs. an artist” rather than “a small, new label vs. an established group leveraging its fandom.” While NewJeans likely has a legal team, their understanding of the situation seems limited. Their PR agency clearly prepared their statements and responses, but their answers eventually came off as redundant and naive. Regarding the notice, ADOR had 14 days to respond, which is standard for discussions and mediation in business practices. However, they didn’t wait the full 14 days-falling a few hours short-before holding the press conference and declaring contract termination, echoing the missteps of the Fifty Fifty case. ADOR’s response, however, feels more calculated. If ADOR’s claim that NewJeans refused to communicate is true, the blame could shift to the group in court. Some argue that ADOR didn’t address the core issues, but I think they’ve covered their legal bases to demonstrate good faith, especially on matters involving third parties. It seems ADOR isn’t planning to file for contract termination just yet. Instead, they appear to be waiting-perhaps for NewJeans to breach the contract or initiate legal action first. If NewJeans starts taking gigs or hiring new staff, ADOR could claim a breach of contract, putting the burden of proof on the group. If neither side acts, this could result in a prolonged standoff, potentially dragging on until 2029. However, if NewJeans refuses to fulfill their contractual duties, that alone could constitute a breach, giving ADOR grounds to act. From snippets of the press conference, one member stood out for being particularly quiet. I’m curious to see what she might reveal in the future. While I suspect one member could play a key role in resolving this, there’s also the possibility of MHJ cutting ties with the group entirely, especially if this situation drags on and impacts her upcoming hearing.

[@shinowibu4608]

A very good analytical comment Perhaps such disputes should be resolved according to the terms of the contract and Korean law with the presence of both parties, not unilaterally through the media. It is not your decision to terminate or not. It is the court's decision

[@PetitsPas_]

@@kubka4 ADOR is a two-year-old label with one group under its umbrella-a small company, not the giant HYBE people imagine. While ADOR is a subsidiary of HYBE, it operates independently (as previous court rulings have highlighted), and has to justify its expenses and deliver results. Yes, HYBE and investors profit, but the real stakes are for ADOR’s employees, who rely on its success for their jobs and livelihoods. If ADOR fails, HYBE will recover, but ADOR won’t. MHJ seems determined to leave the company an empty shell, which could mean no ADOR-and no jobs-for the people working there. This isn’t about protecting a giant corporation like HYBE; it’s about understanding the very real risks for a small team of people who depend on ADOR’s success to put food on the table and moreover worked endlessly to make NewJeans. The narrative shouldn’t focus solely on HYBE vs. NewJeans-there’s more at stake here than just the idols and the parent company.

[@michellemiller6042]

Saying you terminate your contract doesn't mean you can do so right away. I think they forgot to read that fine print in a contract that they all signed. What they should have said is they are in conversation with lawyers to see if they can terminate the contract without penalties. All the food, clothing, shelter, and all miscellaneous things for them and as well to the parents who probably have been relying on NJ income comes to an end. What agency would take them? Independent label will have to be created. What about their fans? Do they follow this decision? These young ladies certainly didn't think this through.

After all these accusations, the agency should be punished. You must never forget that no matter which group, they always started there as children. As I said, "CHILDREN". How many artists have suffered over there, physically or mentally? The main thing is to squeeze money out of them while you can. It's time these agencies were given a few rules and, better yet, laws.

In nutshell, this almost look like they don't even know their employment status. They said their contract termination effective later at midnight. Does it mean that they actually sent resignation letter 2 weeks ago, or do they think that public statement was the resignation letter? Because you can't apply for resignation by announcing to the world, "I'm resigning from this company". If turned out they never sent one before press conference and supposedly sending one after this press conference, legal issue aside, if they thought they're full time employee, wouldn't it mean that was the start of their notice period instead of the end? Wouldn't it be different with contract workers like idols including newjeans? (I'm trying to examine, these doesn't make sense to me at all.

I think the real problem is newjeans received so much attention and love from the beginning and success that they dont know how to balance their mind if a higher board member didnt wish good morning back to them. For silly matters they are getting sad. I hope now they choose to be with ex ceo who manuplated audits and went to see a shaman for destroying other artist i hope they are happy in the future

They have a big future ahead of them and maybe one day they will look back on this as a positive turning point, whether professionally or just as chapter in their life.

I don't know exactly what the problem is, but if it's because of "disrespect" I don't think it's worth bringing up. all new idols definitely feel that way, but they strive to reach the top and earn that honor naturally. but if it was because of "mistreatment" then the decision to terminate the contract was correct, but it would be better if it was resolved amicably so that there would be no problems in the future

Hybe said, "Just throw away the new version and make a new version," and they said in their audit. Why are stubborn haters not understanding this?

If Newjeans continues to be in Hybe and Adore, it is obvious that they will not be able to do anything, and then they will slowly be forgotten. There are many groups that have disbanded because the concept changed strangely, their image became strange, they failed to make a comeback and were forgotten. Is this because of personal greed or adult instigation? Don't be reckless and think like an adult. If in the first place, the agency tried to take down Newjeans, that would have been a violation of the contract? So they debuted another group to clone their sounds and colour and hault Newjeans activities to stop them from growing. If they can't try to grow better, they can just get rid of them. Now many petty hater will deny and try to cover this truth, but how can you deny now when Hybe itself has said it in its audit huh? As time goes the more you look at it, the more it becomes reality. What happens if you throw away the new version and make a new version, Hybe PR director reduces New Genes performance, etc. LOL. How can Newjeans and kpop fans trust Hybe anymore?

One of those is that MHJ started this mess doing things she was not supposed to do (looking for investors, divulging information to shamans blah blah blah etc etc) and now everybody is caught in this never ending train wreck.

Unless NewJeans can come up with 620 billion KRW, or can convince a judge to terminate their contract, they're not going anywhere for five years. MHJ created their concept, but it's NewJeans who slayed with their exceptional talent and personalities. And it's they who earned 115.8 billion KRW last year. They can thrive without her influence!

Breach of Contract is a serious allegation. I assume they already lawyered up?

[@Baleng9]

I feel bad for their situation and whatever is going around their agency or whoever. I’m scared for the outcome of this very bold move. But, I wish them well. 화이팅!💪🏼

They should get a lawyer to fully support and advice their decisions

[@Amalgam182]

They need better lawyers that explains to them what is/are the consequences of their breach of contract. Because I think they're down playing penalties like its nothing. For 2+ years in a 5 year contract. Thats a lot, like millions of millions of dollars not won and especially they earn more. Min Hee Jin should have leave them alone and seek for them onyl after their contract. Bringing them down with her is an insult to the years of hard work of these young girls

All i see i five min hee jin!!!
