In a surprising move, ADOR has filed an injunction to prevent the members of NewJeans from signing any independent advertising contracts, aiming to protect the agency’s status and control over the group’s commercial deals.

On January 13, ADOR revealed that it had petitioned the Seoul Central District Court for an injunction to stop NewJeans members from making their own advertising deals without the agency’s consent.

The agency says the decision was made to ensure that it remains the official management agency for NewJeans until a final ruling is made on the lawsuit they filed back on December 3, 2024.

The lawsuit, titled "Confirmation of the Validity of the Exclusive Contract", is aimed at confirming the agency’s rights to the group under their current exclusive contracts.

An ADOR spokesperson explained, "This legal action is necessary to prevent confusion and potential harm to advertisers and other third parties. NewJeans members, who have recently tried to end their exclusive contracts with us, have been attempting to negotiate and sign contracts with advertisers independently."

The representative further clarified, "By filing for this injunction, we aim to make it clear that ADOR is committed to working with NewJeans and wants to avoid situations where things might get complicated if the contract validity ruling takes years to finalize."

ADOR also emphasized its ongoing commitment to supporting the group, saying, "We have always backed NewJeans’ entertainment activities with both resources and personnel, and we plan to continue doing so as we stand by the validity of our exclusive contract."

The agency added that they’ve received many external offers for advertisements and events, and internally, they’ve already made plans for the group’s future, including a full-length album release and fan meetings.

ADOR expressed hope that they can communicate properly with the NewJeans members about these upcoming projects.

With this injunction, ADOR is making sure it keeps control over the group’s activities and advertising opportunities for now, as it awaits the court’s final decision on their exclusive contract.

A husband’s shocking story about his wife’s infatuation with actor Byeon Woo Seok left everyone speechless on Kim Chang-ok Show: Reboot.

On the January 14th episode of tvN STORY’s Kim Chang-ok Show: Reboot, the theme was “Living Reluctantly,” and the guests shared surprising and sometimes shocking stories.

One guest revealed a troubling secret: "My wife is having an affair." He went on to describe the man involved as a younger, tall, handsome guy with a great voice. The twist? The man in question turned out to be none other than actor Byeon Woo Seok!

The revelation caught everyone off guard, and Kim Ji Min laughed and said, "If it’s Byeon Woo Seok, it makes sense she would have an affair."

But it didn’t stop there. The wife’s obsession with Byeon Woo Seok was so intense that she even bought a blanket featuring his face.

The husband shared, "My wife started getting obsessed with Byeon Woo Seok when she began watching the drama ’Lovely Runner’. At first, I thought it was just casual drama watching, but then her phone’s wallpaper changed from a picture of our child to Byeon Woo Seok’s face."

The wife was so dedicated to her idol that she even arranged with an ice cream shop employee to get the Byeon Woo Seok blanket.

The husband was shocked to find out she wasn’t even close friends with the shop owner and went on to reveal, “I believe the amount my wife spent on her fan activities could be equivalent to the price of a mid-sized car!”

Fans couldn’t believe the story, and many were left wondering if the husband’s accusations could be true, or if it was just an over-the-top example of a fan’s devotion.

Either way, it seems Byeon Woo Seok’s charm has left a lasting impression on more than just his fans!
