NewJeans has announced they are ending their exclusive contract with ADOR, and legal experts say there’s no way to stop the group's decision.

On November 28th, NewJeans revealed their decision to terminate the contract. ADOR responded by claiming that the contract is still valid, but legal professionals have suggested that NewJeans' move could be legally valid too.

Lee Hyun Gon, a lawyer at Saeol Law Firm, explained the situation on Facebook, saying, "NewJeans' decision to end the contract without filing a provisional injunction is a strategic choice."

He went on to explain that in typical contract termination cases, entertainers usually file for a provisional injunction. But by skipping that step, NewJeans has forced ADOR to take legal action if they want to stop the decision.

Earlier that day, NewJeans held a press conference in Gangnam, Seoul, where they explained why they were ending their contract.

Member Minji said, “We are terminating the contract because ADOR and HYBE violated the agreement,” and Haerin added, “We’ve never violated the contract, and there is no reason to pay penalties.”

In response, ADOR denied the claims, saying the contract is still valid and expressing regret about the press conference being held before receiving a response to their notice.

Lawyer Lee Hyun Gon also dismissed the argument that NewJeans' contract termination without a lawsuit is invalid, saying it was “baseless.”

He pointed out that NewJeans' case has strong legal grounds, especially when compared to other contract terminations in the industry.

The legal community believes this could set a new precedent for how exclusive contracts are handled in the future. An entertainment law expert said, "This new approach could be used as a reference for similar cases going forward."
