ADOR has issued a prompt response to a statement released by girl group NJZ on March 6 KST. 

Earlier on this day, NJZ issued a lengthy public statement insisting that their contract termination with ADOR followed legal procedures, dismissing the label's concerns over their activities being a 'breach of contract'. The group then accused ADOR of attempting to 'restrict their career' by expanding the initial injunction request to limit the group from all music activities. 

Both sides will be defending their case during the first injunction request court hearing, scheduled for March 7 KST. 

Read ADOR's latest statement, below.

"ADOR chose to expand the scope of its injunction request, initially filed to maintain its status as the agency of NewJeans and to prohibit the signing of independent advertising contracts, because NewJeans have been increasing their activities, announcing the release of new songs as well as participation in large-scale overseas performances, while the injunction process is still ongoing. 

This is not an attempt to restrict their activities but rather to emphasize that they should continue their entertainment career 'together with Ador' and 'in compliance with their exclusive contracts'. 

As previously stated, ADOR has never pressured event organizers in any way, nor is the expansion of the injunction request a retaliatory measure. 

Tomorrow in court, ADOR aims to clarify any misunderstandings held by the artists and seek a ruling affirming that ADOR remains NewJeans’ agency."
