ADOR Meets with Four NewJeans Members

According to sources in the music industry on November 13, four of the five members who were in Korea at the time, along with their guardians, met with ADOR CEO Lee Do-kyung on November 11. One member could not attend as she was abroad. It is reported that at this meeting, the attendees conveyed their wishes, including the prerequisite conditions for returning to the agency.

A source close to three of the members explained: “After the November 11 meeting, while waiting for a response to what was communicated, the return of the other two members was officially announced. Concerned about fan confusion, they urgently conveyed their intention to return and requested that ADOR make this public, but received no response and were forced to announce it through the media.”

While ADOR stated regarding Haerin and Hyein that they would “do their best to ensure smooth continuation of their entertainment activities,” they showed a contrasting tone toward the three members, saying they were “in the process of confirming their true intentions”—indicating they would examine their motives.
