Adore, the agency of girl group NewJeans, filed for a property seizure on real estate worth 70 billion won owned by former Adore CEO Min Hee-jin and A, Daniel's mother. The court approved the request.

According to StarNews, Seoul Central District Court's Single Judge No. 58-1 issued a ruling in February approving Adore's application for a property seizure worth 70 billion won against Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) and A.

Adore claimed a total of 70 billion won against the two individuals in late January, with Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) assessed at 50 billion won and A at 20 billion won.

Previously, on December 29, 2025, Adore filed a damages lawsuit worth approximately 43 billion won against three individuals: Daniel, A, and Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO).

A property seizure is a provisional disposition taken by a creditor to secure monetary claims or claims that can be converted into money. Seized property cannot be disposed of before the main lawsuit is finalized, making it difficult to sell or use as collateral. If the trial is prolonged, the debtor's ability to utilize their assets is also restricted.

Previously, in November 2024, the five NewJeans members claimed their contracts were terminated due to Adore's breach of exclusive contract, notifying Adore unilaterally of the termination and beginning independent activities. However, NewJeans lost the first-instance lawsuit confirming the validity of their exclusive contract with Adore in October last year. The members subsequently announced their intention to return to Adore without filing an appeal.

However, in December of the same year, Adore notified Daniel that he could no longer continue as a NewJeans member and terminated his exclusive contract. Adore then filed a damages lawsuit worth approximately 43.1 billion won against Daniel, one of his family members, and Min Hee-jin. While Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni have been confirmed to return to Adore, Minji is reportedly negotiating specific conditions for her return.
