Will New Jin's Minzy go back to the door.

"Since the decision to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract, we have had many conversations with the families of Minji, Hani, Daniel and the three members, and after sincere conversations, Hani has decided to be with Ador in respect of the court's ruling," Newzins agency Ador said in an official statement on the 29th. He also said, "Minji is also in conversation with Audor and continues the discussion," adding, "In the case of Daniel, we decided that it would be difficult to be a member of New Jeans and an artist belonging to Audor, so we notified him of the termination of the exclusive contract."

Adore moved quickly after the announcement, immediately accepting a complaint against Daniel.

A lawsuit filed by Airdor against Daniel, his family and former Airdor CEO Min Hee-jin was allocated to the Civil Agreement Department 31 (Chief Judge Nam In-soo) of the Seoul Central District Court, and the plaintiff's lawsuit was set at about 43.1 billion won. In particular, the court also suggested that the two lawsuits are not very irrelevant in the exclusive contract conflict between Adore and Newzins, given that the court is hearing a civil lawsuit between former CEO Min Hee-jin and Hive over the stake in Adore and the put option of 26 billion won (the right to buy and sell stocks at a predetermined price).

In the case of Daniel, we decided that it would be difficult to be a member of New Jeans and an artist belonging to Adore, so we notified the company of the termination of the exclusive contract today. In addition, Daniel's family and former CEO Min Hee-jin, who caused the conflict and was seriously responsible for the departure and delay in returning to Newzins, will be held legally responsible.

In November 2024, Newzins announced the termination of the contract due to Adore's non-compliance. After a legal battle, the court again ruled in favor of Adore in an exclusive contract validation lawsuit filed by Adore against Newzins in October, and Adore later said members Harin and Hyein expressed their intention to return. Soon after, Minji Hani and Daniel also expressed their intention to return. "After careful discussion, we decided to return to Adore," said three people who conveyed their position through the law firm Hanil. "One member is currently in Antarctica, so the delivery was delayed, but Adore has not responded, so we inevitably announced our position separately." However, the three announced their positions individually before the consultation with Adore was concluded. In response, Adore said, "We are checking the truth" and "We are coordinating the individual interview schedule."

Unlike Daniel, who firmly took legal action, Odor's decision on Hani and Minji was different.

In the case of Hani, a slightly different twist came out than expected. As a result, it is surprising that he even went directly to the National Assembly due to the issue of "Ignore You" remarks and poured out sharp criticism toward Hive and Adore.

And it makes me tilt my head that Min-ji's current behavior is still a question mark. Minji, who has shown off her presence as a leader of the team, has yet to reach a complete agreement with Adore after announcing her return through her legal representative.

This itself can make you more curious. It is not easy to determine whether the "continuous discussion" that Audor calls is a positive discussion or a prolonged dialogue due to unfinished differences.

First of all, it is said that the atmosphere between the two sides is not as negative as in Daniel's case. It is true that the discussions that have continued since the first trial's sentence have been prolonged, but that does not mean that it will be premature to judge that it is a negative atmosphere.

If Min-ji decides to return to the game in a situation where the outcome of the discussion with Min-ji is certain to have a significant impact on the return of Newzins in the future (though it is regrettable that the whole team will not be completed), it will pave the way for a positive preparation for the resumption of activities. Of course, it seems necessary to apologize for the case so far.

"During the conversation, I learned that the members have been listening to distorted and biased information over a long period of time, leading to a lot of misunderstanding about the company and even disputes," Odor said. They agreed that in order to restore the love of fans and the public, it is necessary to completely resolve the misunderstanding based on accurate facts, even if it takes some time. In addition, we have decided to have an opportunity to tell you about the various controversies that occurred during the conflict process later, and we are discussing the timing and method."
