The chatlog came to light during a legal dispute initiated by Min Hee Jin to blockHYBEfrom exercising voting rights.
On November 13, NewJeansissued a formal notice to ADOR, threatening their contract terminationover six unresolved issues.
The members warned that unless their demands were addressed within two weeks, they would terminate their exclusive contract.
Speculation suggests their ultimate goal may be the reinstatement of Min Hee Jin.
Legal experts view the case as a challenging one for NewJeans.
Lawyer Cho further elaborated,Most of the issues raised by NewJeans in their notice pertain to HYBE.
While HYBE and ADOR may appear closely connected, they are legally separate entities.
Misconduct by HYBE cannot be grounds to terminate a contract with ADOR.
NewJeans, who debuted in July 2022, still has around five years left on their initial contract.
