On November 13th, NewJeans made an official move by sending a notice to their agency, ADOR, warning that they would terminate their exclusive contract if their demands for corrections were not addressed.

The notice, which was signed by all five members—Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein—stated that ADOR had 14 days to correct the violations in their contract.

Although the specific demands were not revealed, NewJeans pointed to a troubling statement made by HYBE, the parent company of ADOR.

In the notice, they mentioned an internal report from HYBE, which suggested that the company wanted to "discard NewJeans and start fresh."

This comment, uncovered during a National Assembly audit, reportedly included the phrase, “We’ve been bothered for days by 'New' (referring to NewJeans), and if we discard New, we can start fresh.”

The members made it clear that ADOR, as their management company, needed to take necessary actions regarding this issue.

Along with their demand for corrections, NewJeans also addressed rumors that have been circulating about their families and acquaintances.

The group firmly stated, “NewJeans has no connection to these rumors” and warned that they would take strong action against anyone spreading false information aimed at defaming them.

The notice concluded with a clear message: "If ADOR did not address their demands, NewJeans would move forward with ending their exclusive contract."

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
