[theqoo] NEWJEANS MEMBERS’ FINAL STATEMENT IN THE INJUNCTION TRIAL AGAINST ADOR

“In the current ADOR, my future as a human being feels bleak and uncertain. ADOR unjustly took away the future we had happily envisioned with our CEO. I cannot stay in ADOR and present insincere work to the public, work that lacks the sincerity we once poured into it together with our CEO.” (Hyein)

“I believe HYBE is acting out of fear, fear of our success. I think they are trying to block us through this injunction because they are afraid. They say they want to work with us, but behind the scenes, they are obstructing us. I can’t trust them. From the beginning, I strongly felt that HYBE never respected us. Now, ADOR is filled with HYBE’s people, and I cannot work with those I cannot trust.” (Hanni)

“We have been continuously discriminated against. HYBE has attacked us so relentlessly that we even questioned, ‘Are we really their artists?’ Instead of protecting us, they have only tormented us. That is why we decided to terminate our contracts. We can no longer continue our activities under ADOR, which has only mistreated us. I sincerely hope the court will understand our feelings.” (Minji)
