South Korea court blocks K-pop group NewJeans from leaving agency

A South Korean court issues an injunction on March 21, 2025 to stop members of K-pop group NewJeans from pursuing independent projects, marking the latest twist in a long-running dispute between the stars and their label that has gripped fans. The Seoul Central District Court upheld a request from the label ADOR to maintain its role managing the group and prohibit NewJeans' members from engaging in commercial activities without the label's consent, the court said in a statement. The five members of NewJeans announced their departure from ADOR last November, revealed a new name - NJZ - and promised to release a new song this month.

00:00I want to make you mine, make you mine
00:02Only one, only one, only one
00:04If you want a new record in the world,
00:07I'll call you UNIVERSE syndrome
00:09I'm scared
00:10In this scary world, the world is full of iKONs
00:13But UNIVERSE is the number one in the world
00:17I'm going to cancel all of you
00:20Shall we start from the right?
00:22Yes, let's start from the right
00:25Now, right
00:31Like you do, don't want to
00:35I just hate that those things don't
00:39Oh, it's tiny, tiny, tiny
00:43You don't have to be so tiny, tiny, tiny
00:47We have faced mistreatment not just towards us
00:50but also including our staff
00:52Countless preventions and contradictions
00:55Deliberate miscommunications and manipulation regarding multiple areas
01:00A company that no longer has any sincerity in the art and music that is created
01:05is rather fixated on appearing like a well-working company
01:10despite only having thoughts about making money
01:13and don't have any conscience about the negative effect they create through their non-authentic means
01:18This is not the type of work ethic we respect nor want to be a part of
01:23and to continue working under a company with no intention of protecting new genes
01:27would only do us harm
01:29So that is why we, the five of us, together, have agreed to leave the door
01:57Thank you for watching
