A lawsuit filed by ADOR, the agency of girl group NewJeans, against former members Daniel and former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin, who announced the termination and exit of their exclusive contracts, will be held by the court that led to the victory of former CEO Min Hee-jin.

The Civil Agreement Department 31 of the Seoul Central District Court will hold the first hearing of the damage suit filed by ADOR against Daniel and former CEO Min Hee-jin on the 26th.

In particular, the Civil Agreement Department 31, which was in charge of the lawsuit, draws attention in that it ruled in favor of former CEO Min Hee-jin in a put option lawsuit worth 25.6 billion won between former CEO Min Hee-jin and Hive in February.

At the time, the court said, "We reject Hive's claim and pay the costs of the lawsuit on February 12th, when Hive filed a lawsuit against former CEO Min Hee-jin to confirm the termination of the inter-shareholder contract and former CEO Min's lawsuit against Hive. In addition, he ruled in favor of Min Hee-jin, saying, "Min Hee-jin's exercise of put options is justified and pay an amount worth 25.6 billion won."

Former CEO Min Hee-jin then applied for a bond seizure and collection order against Hive according to the results of the ruling. However, at the same time as Hive filed an appeal for a stock trading price lawsuit, he applied for a suspension of execution, and the court accepted it, and the execution was suspended.

Since then, former CEO Min Hee-jin has proposed to Hive in an emergency press conference on February 25 to end all disputes over NewJeans instead of giving up the 25.6 billion won put option he will receive. Hive did not take a particular stance on Min Hee-jin's proposal.

Meanwhile, ADOR filed a lawsuit against Daniel in December 2025 for penalties and damages. It also filed a lawsuit worth 43 billion won against three people, including one Daniel family member and former CEO Min Hee-jin, who caused the conflict and was gravely responsible for the delay in leaving and returning to NewJeans.

Earlier, NewJeans members claimed that the contract was terminated due to violations of the exclusive contract when they demanded the return of former CEO Min Hee-jin, who was dismissed due to conflict with Hive, but was not accepted. In response, ADOR filed a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract in December, and the court ruled in favor of ADOR. Since then, members Ha-rin and Hye-in and Hani have confirmed their return to ADOR, and Min-ji is in talks. Daniel was kicked out of the team after being informed of the termination of his exclusive contract.
