The news comes as members Minji and Danielle confirm their positions with ADOR after unilaterally announcing their intention to return, following the legal defeat in their exclusive contract lawsuit. Attention is focused on whether this meeting will accelerate the full return of NewJeans.
Hanni Absent, ADOR States It Will 'Do Best for Smooth Discussion' and 'Confirm True Intentions for Return'
It was confirmed today (21st) that NewJeans members Minji and Danielle held individual meetings with their agency ADOR to discuss matters related to their return. Hanni, who is reportedly in Antarctica, has not yet participated in the meeting.
After losing the first trial of their lawsuit for the confirmation of the validity of their exclusive contract against ADOR, NewJeans members, facing the appeal deadline, declared their intention for a full return. Following Haerin and Hyein's decision to return to the agency after discussions with their parents and ADOR, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle also stated through their legal counsel, "Recently, after careful discussion, we decided to return to ADOR," adding, "We are forced to announce this separately because ADOR has not yet responded." This statement was made unilaterally without prior consultation with ADOR, raising questions about its background.
In response, ADOR stated that they were "confirming the true intentions" and "coordinating individual meetings with the members." ADOR made it clear that they intended to confirm if the three members genuinely wished to return to the agency through these individual meetings and pledged to "do our best for smooth discussion."
Sharing Positions on Prerequisites for Return… Focus on 'Remaining Homework' for Full Reunion
It is understood that during the individual meetings, both sides shared their positions and discussed the prerequisites and environment necessary for NewJeans' return.
Previously, when Haerin and Hyein announced their return, ADOR stated, "The two members, after careful deliberation with their families and sufficient discussion with ADOR, decided to respect the court's ruling and abide by the exclusive contract."
Attention is now focused on whether the discussion with Minji and Danielle will lead to a breakthrough in their return, and how quickly the full return of NewJeans can be achieved, particularly with the subsequent meeting involving Hanni, the 'remaining member.'
