K-pop girl group NewJeans has announced a pause in their activities following a South Korean court ruling against them in a dispute with record label Ador. The band accused Ador of mistreatment and workplace harassment, leading to a split and renaming themselves NJZ. However, the court ruled in favor of Ador, upholding an injunction against NewJeans from carrying out independent performances. Despite the ruling, NewJeans debuted a new song but then announced a pause in their activities during a show in Hong Kong. The five members expressed their belief in standing up for their values and thanked fans for their support. Ador expressed regret over the group’s decision to perform under a new name and unilaterally pause activities, reaffirming their commitment to the valid contract until July 2029.
NewJeans’ dispute with Ador began when the label replaced their executive producer, leading to the group announcing their departure from Ador. The group has been praised for their music and achievements, including breaking the Guinness World Record for the fastest K-pop act to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. Despite the legal battle with Ador, NewJeans remains determined to continue their music careers and come back to their fans, no matter the circumstances.
