As strange as it was, it happened — members of NewJeans ended their exclusive contracts with their agency ADOR. The jury is still out over whether the action is legitimate, but the more pressing issue is what ADOR and HYBE are going to do about it.

All five members of NewJeans are exiting their agency, ADOR. Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein revealed their steadfast resolution to leave the company during an emergency press conference held in Seoul on November 28, 2024. The press conference began at around 8:30 p.m. KST.

This is the latest salvo in an ongoing battle between former NewJeans producer (and former ADOR CEO) Min Hee-Jin and HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk. From HYBE’s perspective, Min tried to do a hostile takeover of ADOR.

"Our contracts with ADOR have ended as of Nov. 29, 2024, and the five of us will start our new activities, free from HYBE and ADOR," the members of NewJeans said in a statement on Friday afternoon.

The BTS parent company has been battling for control of the lucrative girl group after splitting with NewJeans creator director, Min Hee-jin.
