Danielle Claims NewJeans Members Are ‘Kind Of In Shock’ After Court Ruling In ADOR Case
NewJeans’ singer Danielle explained that the group was hoping for a positive result, but that didn’t happen and they were left shocked by the decision.
The conflict between entertainment giant HYBE, its secondary label ADOR and the popular group NewJeans has become one of the biggest controversies in recent K-pop history. Recently, the girl group shared their thoughts on the court’s decision, which sided with ADOR and led to the suspension of their independent activities. Danielle explained that the group was hoping for a positive result, but that didn’t happen and they were left shocked by the decision. The idol added that their main goal was to continue working and the lawsuit was focused on ensuring that their careers will not be impacted.
While appearing on a BBC interview, Danielle said, “I was obviously expecting alternative result but yes I think it was like a moment where we were all like kind of in shock. I guess we just really wanted to be able to work and to be able to do the work that we love without these misleading and false lies getting in the way."

During the recent trial, the court announced that NewJeans are not in a position to organise their own events because of their ongoing dispute with ADOR. On a show at ComplexCon Hong Kong, which was their first public appearance after debuting their new song Pit Stop, Hanni, Minji, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein, announced that it was their last performance. The group has been trying to distance themselves from ADOR, as they accused the label of mistreating them.
Amid the concert, the group members said, “This stage means so much to us and every single one of you who gives us strength just by being here. It is really hard for us to say this, but this might be our last performance for a little while. Out of respect for the court’s decision, we’ve decided to pause all our activities for now. It wasn’t an easy decision, but we believe this is something we need to do at this moment."
The NewJeans member’s explained that the decision was made to protect themselves and ensure they could return even stronger in the future. They felt it was important to stand up for the values they believe in and they don’t regret making that choice. They highlighted that speaking up for their “dignity, our rights and everything we deeply care about" was necessary.
