NewJeans, the K-pop group that debuted in July 2022, has recently been at the center of significant developments involving their agency, ADOR. In November 2024, NewJeans announced their decision to terminate their contracts with ADOR, citing allegations of mistreatment and breaches of contract. ADOR has contested these claims, asserting that the group's contracts remain valid.

The dispute escalated when ADOR warned that any attempt by NewJeans to promote under a new group name could constitute a severe breach of contract. This warning has intensified the legal tensions between the two parties.

In response to the ongoing conflict, a representative from the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) expressed concerns that NewJeans may lack sufficient understanding of the K-pop industry and could have a negative impact on youth.

As of now, the situation remains unresolved, with both NewJeans and ADOR preparing for potential legal proceedings. The outcome of this dispute could have significant implications for the future of NewJeans and the broader K-pop industry.
