Update: Court Holds Hearing Regarding ADOR's Injunction Request Prohibiting NewJeans From Carrying Out Independent Activities

Updated: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that a court decision was made, but the final court decision will be announced at a later date. 

The court has held a hearing regarding ADOR’s injunction request to prohibit the NewJeans members from carrying out independent activities under the name NJZ.

On April 9, the Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Agreement Division 50 held a hearing regarding NewJeans’ appeal to the previously granted injunction that prohibited them from engaging in independent entertainment activities, such as signing advertisement contracts without ADOR’s approval.

The hearing was held in private, and only the legal representatives of both sides were present at the hearing. Following the hearing, a representative of ADOR briefly stated, “There have been no significant changes in circumstances since the injunction was granted.”

The court will announce the final decision at a later date.

Earlier on March 21, the Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Division 50 ruled in favor of ADOR’s injunction request, prohibiting the NewJeans members from engaging in independent activities. Following the announcement, NewJeans announced their decision to appeal and further announced a temporary halt in their activities.
