[Exclusive] New Jeans files an objection to the injunction against ‘banning independent activities’
Added 2025-03-25 07:27:56 +0000 UTCIt has been confirmed that New Jeans, who are in a dispute with their agency Adore over their exclusive contract, have filed an objection to the court’s injunction banning their independent activities.
According to legal circles on the 24th, the five members of New Jeans submitted an objection to the Seoul Central District Court, which had previously accepted Adore’s injunction on the 21st to “preserve the agency’s status and prohibit advertising contracts.” If an objection is filed to the accepted injunction, the same court will hold a retrial.
Seoul Central District Court Civil Agreement Division 50 (Chief Judge Kim Sang-hoon) previously accepted Adore’s application for an injunction to “preserve the status of the agency and prohibit the conclusion of advertising contracts, etc.” against the members of New Jeans, and decided to accept the entire application. The court ruled in Adore’s favor, saying, “It is difficult to see that the claims and materials submitted so far have sufficiently proven that Adore violated the important obligations of the exclusive contract.” According to the court decision, Adore’s status as a agency under the exclusive contract was recognized, and New Jeans’ independent entertainment activities were halted. Immediately after the injunction decision, New Jeans stated through a social networking service ( SNS) operated by the parents of the members, “We plan to dispute the issues additionally through the objection procedure,” and “We plan to dispute by supplementing the explanatory materials as much as possible.”

NJ Legal team probably advised them of the options. An appeal is common in civic court as a delay tactic to gather any additional material evidence (from fandom, parents, members, journalist, assemblymen, MHJ legal team) but also allows them to review Ador's evidence 'strategy' and how this might affect the upcoming contract validation case. Because any holes they can punch in Adors strategy, reduces NJ's penalty. I see the appeal as just legal manuvering to buy time, supporting the NJ narrative of 'fighting for our rights'. Its probable that both NJ and Ador legal team has evidence, which supports a different strategical approach for the contract validation case. Though, NJ's actions and statements at the HK concert, could have the court reject their injunction appeal.
