ADOR Denies NJZ's Parents' Claim That Bang Si Hyuk Attempted To Cancel Upcoming Performance

ADOR has firmly denied a claim made by the NJZ members’ parents regarding their upcoming performance in Hong Kong. 

On February 19, the NJZ members’ parents released a statement in which they accused HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk of attempting to get ComplexCon’s organizers to cancel NJZ’s performance at the upcoming event.

The NJZ members’ parents wrote, “We heard from a ComplexCon insider that HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk personally called [ComplexCon] organizers in the United States and tried to persuade them to cancel the NJZ members’ performance.”

That same day, ADOR responded by stating that “Bang Si Hyuk has never contacted anyone at all about NewJeans’ Hong Kong performance.”

The agency also clarified that while Bang Si Hyuk had never contacted the event’s organizers, ADOR had requested that ComplexCon use the name NewJeans rather than NJZ and work with ADOR in planning the performance. However, the label asserted, “ADOR has never attempted to get NewJeans’ Hong Kong performance cancelled.”

ADOR’s full statement is as follows:

ADOR has never attempted to get NewJeans’ Hong Kong performance cancelled.

We have also confirmed that chairman Bang Si Hyuk has never contacted anyone at all about NewJeans’ Hong Kong performance.

Just as we have previously requested to the domestic media, ADOR requested that the organizers use the official group name “NewJeans,” and we also requested that, based on [NewJeans’] exclusive contract, the organizers work with ADOR as they move forward with the performance.

NJZ is scheduled to perform at ComplexCon in Hong Kong on March 23.
