On the 20th, according to legal sources, Dolphiners Film filed a request with the Seoul Central District Court to stay compulsory execution of the provisional enforcement based on the first-instance judgment in the damages lawsuit.

On the 13th, the Civil Division 62 of the Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Lee Hyun-seok) ruled in favor of the plaintiff in part in the damages lawsuit filed by ADOR, saying it was a breach of contract that Dolphiners Film and Director Shin Woo-seok, who produced NewJeans' "ETA" music video, uploaded a director's edit of the video to their own YouTube channel.

The court recognized 1 billion won out of the 1.1 billion won in damages claimed by ADOR and held that provisional enforcement was possible. This allows the damages to be temporarily enforced even if the judgment is not final.
