NewJeans has been caught up in infighting between executives of the parent HYBE and ADOR’s former chief executive who is the band’s creative director.
The latest controversy in the K-pop scene has gripped South Korea this year, with accusations, audits, and an emotional press conference making headlines.
The five NewJeans members held a late-night press conference to announce their departure from the agency and said they would like to work with Min Hee-jin, ADOR’s former chief who left the agency this month.

“Once we leave ADOR, we’ll aim to proceed freely with the activities that we desire,” said Danielle, one of the band members.
“We wish to be able to release new music for Bunnies, next year, as soon as possible, whenever,” she said, referring to their fans. “We hope that we have the opportunity to meet you guys from all around the world.”
The members said they might not be able to use the band’s name once they terminated the contract with ADOR.
