NewJeans is managed by ADOR, which is a subsidiary of the larger entertainment company Hybe. Hybe is well-known for managing another popular K-pop group called BTS. Recently, there was a legal dispute between NewJeans and ADOR, but a court decided that ADOR should continue to manage the group. This means that ADOR will still be in charge of NewJeans’ activities, such as music releases and performances.
The dispute started because NewJeans felt they were not being treated fairly by ADOR. They wanted to leave the agency and manage themselves, but the court did not allow this. Despite the court’s decision, NewJeans plans to appeal, which means they want to challenge the ruling and try to change it.
NewJeans had even changed their name to NJZ as part of their attempt to become independent from ADOR. However, the court’s decision has put their plans for new music and independent projects on hold. ADOR has stated that it will continue to support NewJeans as their management agency.
