Dolphiners Film Appeals Court Ruling Against ADOR
Dolphiners Film, a company that made music videos for the group NewJeans, is fighting a court decision.
The court said they had to pay a lot of money to ADOR, another company.
Dolphiners Film doesn't agree and wants the court to stop making them pay.
This is happening while NewJeans is going through some big changes.
One of their members, Danielle Marsh, left the group, and they don't have an exclusive contract anymore.
Now, NewJeans has four members left: Minji, Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein.
The future of the group is uncertain because of these legal problems.
Dolphiners Film appealed a court ruling ordering them to pay 1 billion KWR in damages to ADOR.
The legal dispute involves the production of NewJeans' music videos, including Ditto and ETA.
NewJeans' future is uncertain following the termination of their exclusive contract and the removal of member Danielle Marsh.
The group now consists of four members: Minji, Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein.
Dolphiners Film has refused to accept the court's ruling and demanded a stay on damages enforcement.
