While NewJeans members continue to argue that they have left ADOR and HYBE and are operating on their own, ADOR recently mentioned Hanni's visa.
This December 20, the media announced that Hanni's visa was close to expiring. This is the E-6 visa, the entertainment and culture visa granted to people working in the entertainment industry.
Foreigners who engage in entertainment and cultural activities in South Korea with the aim of making profits must obtain an E-6 visa. For the E-6 visa to be issued to a person carrying out activities in the entertainment sector, they must meet the following criteria:
– be employed under an exclusive contract with a legally registered entertainment company
– be able to provide proof of your identity signed by your employer
– submit a letter of recommendation for employment
Thus, if Hanni's decision with the other NewJeans to end their exclusivity contract with ADOR were to be validated, Hanni would therefore technically no longer be employed by an entertainment company legally registered in South Korea, and would therefore not respond no longer meets the requirements of his E-6 visa. In addition, if an exclusive contract is terminated, the foreigner must submit a new visa application or sign a new exclusive contract with another company within the following 15 days before receiving the order to leave the country. country.
In response, an ADOR representative said:
“ADOR’s exclusivity contract with NewJeans remains valid. Therefore, we are currently preparing the necessary documents to renew Hanni's visa. »
