In a significant moment for NewJeans, member Daniel attended a high-profile event in Kyoto, Japan, on the 19th. This event was organized by ADOR to celebrate the launch of a luxury jewelry brand’s new products. Daniel’s presence, alongside ADOR staff, reflects the complexities of his and NewJeans’ current legal issues.
Daniel attended the event due to a pre-existing advertising contract established before the ongoing disputes with ADOR. These legal challenges arose from a court ruling that prevents NewJeans members from engaging in independent activities. In November last year, NewJeans announced a one-sided end to their exclusive contract with ADOR. They cited a loss of trust due to the agency’s failure to meet obligations.
This decision has caused more problems. ADOR filed for an injunction to prevent NewJeans members from signing independent advertising contracts. A lower court granted this request in March. NewJeans appealed, arguing that the loss of trust was not sufficiently considered. However, their appeals were rejected in April and again on May 17 by the Seoul High Court.
Daniel’s participation in the Kyoto event, despite ongoing legal turmoil, highlights the balance between professional commitments and personal aspirations. As NewJeans navigates this challenging landscape, support from fans and the music community remains crucial. The resilience and passion of K-pop culture shine through in these trying times.
