NewJeans members are demanding change within HYBE and ADOR.
According to the media Yonhap News, NewJeans submitted a content certificate to ADOR on November 13, 2024. In the certificate, it is notably specified that “If the company does not accept their requests, their exclusivity contract will be terminated. »
In South Korea, a certificate of contents is commonly used in Korea for notification of contract terminations. This is an official certified document containing requests and statements with a deadline for implementing these changes.
The document was sent by the girlgroup members to ADOR and HYBE using their full names: Kim Minji, Hanni Pham, Danielle Marsh, Kang Haerin, and Lee Hyein. According to the document, ADOR now has 14 days to rectify the things requested by the girls.
Part of the document discusses recently revealed internal HYBE documents which contained plans and negative opinions about NewJeans.
