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.

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
