The court's decision prohibiting girl group NewJeans from independent activities was not accepted by the members of NewJeans who filed an objection.

On the 16th, the Civil Division 50 of the Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judge Kim Sang-hoon) dismissed the provisional injunction objection filed by the members of NewJeans.

Earlier, the court ruled in favor of ADOR, the agency of NewJeans, by granting a provisional injunction against the five members of NewJeans regarding 'the preservation of agency status and the prohibition of contract execution with advertisements.' The court determined that it was not sufficiently proven that ADOR violated important obligations under the exclusive contract with NewJeans or that the trust relationship had been irreparably damaged.

Currently, NewJeans is in the process of a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract with ADOR. In the first hearing of this lawsuit held on the 3rd, the side of NewJeans stated, "There is no intention to reach an agreement with ADOR." On the other hand, the side of ADOR said, "We hope to reach an agreement."
