Girl group Newzins still has five years left to sign with Hive label Adore.

Therefore, if the contract is unilaterally terminated, the penalty will reach up to 600 billion won.

This was the reason Newzins expected him not to leave the company easily, but the members denied it.

Because Odor and Hive violated the contract, they are not responsible.

[Harin / Newzins Member: (We) have never violated the exclusive contract. We're still doing our best, but I don't think there's any reason why we should pay a penalty.]

In addition, he stressed that even if he breaks up with Audor, he will try to keep the schedule that has been planned and keep the name 'New Jeans'.

As expected, he also expressed his hope to work with former CEO Min Hee-jin, who is called "New Jin's Mom," in the future.

[Daniel / Newzins Member: I talked about how I wanted to be with people who really liked my favorite music. (Min Hee-jin) I wanted to do those things with you if you wanted.]

In response, Adore said flatly that the company did not violate the contract, as the members claimed.

He refused to accept the members' claim to terminate the contract, saying that exclusive contracts between the company and its members are still valid.

I asked for the future schedule to be with the company as it has been.

With legal proceedings required to formally terminate exclusive contracts, a long battle is likely to be inevitable in the future
There is also a prospect that activities as a girl group whose image
is life may be hindered.
