ADOR, a K-pop agency, has come forward announcing plans to take legal action against individuals who make “malicious comments” related to its girl group, NewJeans. The company has been monitoring community sites to identify those who spread misinformation and defamatory comments, and is in preparation for filing civil and criminal lawsuits against them. ADOR provided a warning that there will be no leniency or settlements in any cases during this process, and will take all necessary steps to take legal action against such postings on anonymous sites to protect the rights of the members of the group.
This statement comes amid an increasingly tense disagreement between Min Hee-jin, the CEO of ADOR, and HYBE over the K-pop agency’s ownership. The feud has been drawing attention from the media, and the company’s announcement of legal action against malicious comments about NewJeans only adds to the growing drama. Earlier this month, Min addressed, during a press conference, the feud with HYBE, touching on the future of the group and accusations of betrayal from entertainment giant HYBE. NewJeans showed support for Min shortly after the press conference by accepting a trophy for their win on the popular South Korean music chart show Music Bank.
In April, HYBE made claims that Min was planning to take over the K-pop agency. However, Min denied the claims and stated that it was HYBE that “betrayed” her. In response, HYBE accused Min of distorting the facts by mixing up the timeline. This current lawsuit announcement from ADOR against malicious comments serves to highlight the intense drama surrounding the agency, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold.
In its statement, ADOR made it clear that it will spare no effort in taking legal action against individuals who spread defamatory comments about NewJeans. The statement represents the K-pop agency’s efforts to protect the group’s members and integrity from harm. ADOR’s legal dispute with HYBE is ongoing, and fans will continue to follow the drama between the two K-pop giants with keen interest
