Newzins held an emergency press conference on the termination of its exclusive contract at 8:30 p.m. on the 28th at somewhere in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The members insisted on terminating the contract from midnight on the 29th due to the failure of Adore's correction request, and expressed their willingness to keep the team name "Newzins" without penalty.
It also claimed that the termination would be possible without legal procedures, and expressed its desire to work with former CEO Min Hee-jin in the future. This seems to be the result of various complaints suffered by Newzins amid the conflict between Odor and parent company Hive.
In particular, Newzins responded to the proof of content received from Adore, saying, "It's just an act of showing, and none of our requests for correction have been made. Didn't he take any action?" he said, emphasizing the lackluster response of Odor.
If so, what did Odor say in the reply of Chapter 26 and what action did he claim to have taken in response to Newzins' requirements? The positions of both sides and their explanations were summarized in one line.
Newzins: "Hive officials' remarks that they will abandon Newzins and make a new edition are belittling the artist. This is a breach of contract and requires disciplinary action against those involved."
Adore said: "The remark was only an idea to build an independent area of activity for LeCeraphim, not an intention to abandon Newzins. Hive also apologized for this, removed the author from his position, and promised to prevent a recurrence."
NEUJIN'S SIDE: "Hive PR member has made remarks deliberately downplaying NEUJIN's performance. Adore responded tepidly to this and did not protect the artist."
Adore: "In response to the Hive PR member's comments, we immediately called on Hive to take caution and exclude PR work, which Hive accepted."
Newszins: "Dore responded passively to the alleged pushback of the album and failed to resolve the suspicions."
Odor: "Hive confirmed that the alleged pushback of the record was not true through a full investigation and verification by an external accounting firm."
NEUJINS: "Despite the eyelet manager's 'ignore' comments to NEUJINS Hany, the artist's reputation has been defamed for not actively responding."
Odor said: "We did our best to confirm the facts, but we did not confirm the remarks. Nevertheless, we complained to the label and offered arbitration action, but it was rejected."
NEUJINS: "Dore's complacent handling has infringed on the artist's right to portrait after photos and videos of NEUJINS as a trainee were released without permission."
On the side of Odor: "We have completed the deletion action immediately, and we have appointed a specialized law firm and hired a takedown operator to prevent further leakage."
Newzins: "The artist's creation was damaged by Dorr's arbitrary decision during his dispute with director Shin Woo-suk."
Odor: "We only asked the dolphin kidnapping team to stop posting the video of 'ETA Director's Cut', and the deletion of the video of the Ban Hee-soo channel was carried out by director Shin Woo-seok."
NEUJINS: "Door's passive support has constrained NEUJINS' activities."
Odor: "I agreed with Min Hee-jin's second term as a former director and offered to be in charge of production by the expiration of the exclusive contract, but Min Hee-jin rejected it."
Newzins: "Dore unilaterally dismissed former CEO Min Hee-jin, ignoring the artist's opinion."
Odor: "We discussed the return of former director Min Hee-jin, but we decided that it would be difficult to return under the current situation."
Newzins: "The disruption of communication with Dorr has deepened my distrust."
Odor said: "There was a misunderstanding due to lack of communication. We are willing to discuss and communicate face-to-face."
As such, both Newzins and Adore show distinct differences in positions on each issue. In particular, the emotional goal that began with the lack of communication seems to be a key factor that aggravated the conflict. Attention is focusing on how the battle between Newzins, who declared himself the body of freedom, and Adore, who has to prevent it, will end.
