NewJeans mentioned that they had sent a certification letter on November 13, which included the return of former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. The letter specified that if compliance was not met within 14 days, the contract would be terminated.
During the conference, the group expressed their intention to continue their journey with Min Hee Jin. When questioned by reporters about the typical need for mutual agreement in contract terminations,
NewJeans explained that the breach of contract by HYBE and ADOR, combined with their lack of response within the given time frame, allowed for the termination without further consent.
