Last November, the K-pop group NewJeans dramatically fell out with their record label Ador. NewJeans announced they’d be cutting ties with Ador, claiming that they’d suffered mistreatment that nullified their contracts. Ador then sued NewJeans — who renamed themselves NJZ — asserting their contractural rights over the group. The group remained somewhat active, teasing a new single called “Pit Stop” as recently as last week. But last Friday, a panel of judges in Seoul court approved Ador’s injunction, recognizing the label as NewJeans’ manager. This means the members of NewJeans are now barred from doing performances and other promotional appearances without Ador’s prior approval, and can’t go by NJZ or else risk serious breach of contract penalties.
