ADOR: "Danielle is different from the other NewJeans' members" ... Alleges breach of exclusive contract

According to a recent report by MyDaily, ADOR explained the reason why they filed a contract termination lawsuit specifically against Danielle alone.

On the 11th, the Seoul Central District Court held the second hearing in ADOR's damages lawsuit against Danielle, her family, and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin. During the hearing, ADOR stated:

"The reason why we requested the termination of the exclusive contract only with Danielle is because she engaged in independent activities that the other members did not."

They added, "Considering the role of Danielle's mother and the circumstances suggesting her involvement in this contract termination case, we concluded that it is difficult to maintain a relationship of trust."

ADOR continued, "Looking at the conversations exchanged by Min Heejin and others on the evening of the first injunction ruling regarding the suspension of the exclusive contact, there were discussions about filming an MV for Danielle's band feature project, contracts, and an album release following ComplexCon." They claimed, "We had invested approximately 240 billion KRW under the category of artist reorganization expenses."

Regarding to these circumstances, ADOR argued, "We had no choice but to conclude that there was absolutely no intention of accepting the injunction ruling," and added:

"There were also indications that Danielle's mother made comments encouraging the collaboration. The plaintiff only learned of these matters later and determined that they could no longer continue the contract with Danielle, therefore they notified her of the termination."

ADOR further stated:

"The defendant's side claims that this lawsuit has prevented Danielle from carrying out entertainment activities, but Danielle is completely free to promote as she wishes."

ADOR also revealed the reason why they are seeking damages from Min Heejin and Danielle's mother, saying:

"The Telegram conversations show that Min Heejin actively persuaded the members' parents to break the exclusive contracts, including planning things so they would not have to bear penalty fees and promising to prepare compensation funds."

ADOR added, "Danielle's mother played the most leading role among the parents who sided with Min Heejin's unlawful actions," and continued, "It is questionable whether this entire matter was carried out solely based on the NewJeans members' own decision-making."
