Скачать или смотреть ADOR vs. NewJeans: The Court Decision That Shook K-pop

On October 30, 2025, the Seoul Central District Court ruled that NewJeans’ contract with ADOR, a sublabel of HYBE, remains valid through 2029.

According to reports from Koreaboo, CNBC, and The Korea Herald, HYBE’s market value jumped by more than $644 million (₩915 billion) after the decision.
The court found that the removal of former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin did not violate the group’s contracts, reaffirming HYBE’s legal position and restoring investor confidence.

While HYBE called the ruling a major win, NewJeans’ representatives say the trust between the group and ADOR is “irreparably broken” and plan to appeal.
This case marks a turning point for both HYBE’s business and artist rights across the K-pop industry.
