Court rules against K-pop group NewJeans in label dispute
- On Tuesday, a South Korean court ruled NewJeans' contract with ADOR remains valid, rejecting the group's bid to leave after a year-long standoff.
- The dispute began when Hybe accused then-ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin of trying to take the sublabel independent, and NewJeans announced last year they were leaving ADOR citing mistreatment.
- ADOR filed a lawsuit seeking confirmation of the contract's validity, Min Hee-jin resigned as a director on Nov. 20, and NJZ rebranded earlier this year before activities were halted.
- Shares jumped as much as 7.12%, lifting Hybe's market capitalization by roughly 915 billion won Thursday, reversing earlier losses that wiped about $420 million.
- The group said it will appeal the ruling, ADOR's prior suit keeps the dispute alive, and the case has stunned the Korean entertainment industry.
