ADOR Terminates Danielle's Contract with NewJeans
NewJeans, a popular K-pop group, is facing some big changes.
Their label, ADOR, has decided to end their contract with one of the members, Danielle.
This means she is no longer part of the group.
The group and the label have been in a legal fight since August 2024, which started when the former CEO, Min Hee-Jin, was removed.
Danielle is now facing a lawsuit and penalty, while other members like Hanni and Minji have also been affected.
It's not clear when the whole group will be able to make a comeback together.
ADOR terminated Danielle's exclusive contract with NewJeans on December 29, 2024.
Danielle is now facing a lawsuit and penalty as a result of the termination.
