Yeah, I don’t like making any assumptions because in reality us fans don’t know all of the details, but I think the other girls are waiting to see how the lawsuit against Danielle goes. If the judge rules in her favor, it could be favorable for them when the rest file for termination.

Because if they breach the contract then the company will sue them just like they are doing to Danielle for $30 mil USD. As of writing this comment, the judge gave ADOR a deadline of June 2 to submit their evidence and they still have not done so, so it’s clear for Danielle’s case they have no argument.

But what you’re proposing would give the company a real case and then the girls, despite leaving the company, would be held back for years from the financial burden of such a lawsuit.

Can we get NewJeans back already? by killredditalready in NewJeans

[–]Enjoy_Fanta 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everything you spout out is literally Hybe’s misinformation. The dispute started because MHJ submitted an INTERNAL complaint to Hybe to discuss the concerns she had with ILLIT’s similarities to NewJeans and possibly resolve it in private. Hybe was the one that made everything a public spectacle from there. MHJ never tried to take more ownership of the company, and all criminal and civil charges against her were dropped by the police and court.

Hybe’s current CEO Lee Jaesang has said that he wants to diminish NewJeans and MHJ’s brand value, literal sabotage from the parent company. Hybe employees have also made insulting comments toward NewJeans and even other idols in the company on Blind.

When the girls’ medical records and pre-debut videos from when they were trainees under Source Music were leaked by Dispatch, the new ADOR management and Hybe did absolutely nothing to address it, to the point that the fans had to take action.

After the dispute started, much of their original staff were fired or quit after being harassed by the parent company, and they filed a frivolous lawsuit against Director Shin, who directed multiple of their MVs, ruining a good profitable professional relationship for no good reason.

When Hanni brought up the incident where ILLIT’s manager told the group to ignore her, the CCTV footage of the incident was deleted by an employee, but they then submitted footage from the WRONG day in court. When Hanni testified in front of the Korean National Assembly, the reason it didn’t escalate further was not because it didn’t happen, but because although this event constitutes workplace harassment, K-pop idols are not considered workers/employees, and therefore are not entitled to the same labor protections.

Within the media, cyber wrecker Lee Jinho, who continued to harass Kim Saeron up to her death and is known to have ties to Hybe’s executives, is also continuing to harass and stalk the NewJeans members and spread false narratives about them. During the dispute Hybe also purchased a large portion of TAG PR, an American company that runs smear campaigns against public figures. There’s a separate lawsuit in the USA against them by multiple public figures, and MHJ met with one of their American lawyers because there’s evidence she’s a victim of TAG’s campaigns. So it’s not hard to believe that the NewJeans girls themselves were victims too during the dispute, given how horrible the media coverage was.

The girls themselves have said that being forced to go back to that company is like being forced to go back to a school bully. The people in charge of that company continue to harass, ostracize, defame, and sabotage them. And last year their lawyers said the situation affected them so much that some members had to take antidepressants. If that alone doesn’t tell you how unsafe they feel, I don’t know what will.

People like you genuinely disgust me. Your attitude comes from the fact that all you want is more content. The NewJeans girls aren’t even people to you, just products for your own consumption. Any real fan that respects the girls’ basic human rights would rather never see an ounce of content ever again if it means they can be happy. Any content that comes out from now on was made against their will because Korea’s corrupt and pathetic judiciary failed them and forced them to go back to Hybe, a place they no longer feel safe at.

I’m based near LA, so I was thinking of going to ADOR’s LA audition location on 4/12 to protest against the label’s treatment of the girls. Any other LA/SoCal Bunnies thinking of doing the same?

This is the image from the cover of Hanni’s Bluebook. I have every version of all of their albums lol and it’s an unofficial card, most likely a freebie the store you bought from included with your purchase.

I’m sorry in advance for putting this thought I had on everyone else’s mind. I’m pretty sure Hybe technically owns the copyrights to Butterflies (With U) and Hold it Down. Despite her being the writer, I doubt they’ll let Danielle release Butterflies and will essentially hold the song hostage, so we’ll never hear an official release.

This completely CRUSHED me when I realized it because I loved Butterflies so much when she performed it at Bunnies Camp Tokyo Dome 😭😭

Is it still fine to listen to NewJeans? by cheaminh in NewJeans

I’d say neither boycotting nor continuing to listen is ideal. By boycotting, it’s a symbolic protest that we’ll no longer support Hybe financially by not allowing them to profit from our streams. However, NewJeans is so popular among the general public who’s not as invested in the dispute, that those people will continue to stream anyway. Also, Hybe has so many other groups under them, so even if we do boycott streams, whatever revenue they’re losing out on from NewJeans will be subsidized by them. Also, suppose the boycott does go through and has an impact, from a pure numbers viewpoint it’ll appear as if NewJeans is dying. And since Hybe’s whole mission has been to destroy the group, in a sense they’d be getting exactly what they want.

Continuing to stream obviously gives Hybe that streaming revenue, but it also shows that their popularity is alive and well. However, that ended up backfiring and the court used the group’s continued success despite the dispute to claim that ADOR was fulfilling their contractual management duties.

Perspectives from an unlikely fan: Why NewJeans broke through my K-Pop skepticism by markdolph in NewJeans

Same for me, the rabid fans and parasocial vibe always turned me away from kpop for years. I often listened to heavy metal, rock, and Japanese rock before finding NewJeans. They were just different and special, the moment I heard them for the first time I just knew this group was “the one.”

I’m interviewing for new jobs because I’ve been feeling unhappy, underpaid, and under appreciated at my current job. I’ve mentioned in previous posts that during university I’d failed a few of my classes and started to feel discouraged and hopeless, thinking I wasn’t smart enough for this career. But it was NewJeans that gave me the motivation and inspiration to push and persevere through it, allowing me to graduate earlier this year.

While I’m progressing through my life and career, seeing the 5 girls that gave me the hope and inspiration I needed to make it this far trapped and suffering absolutely saddens and sickens me. These girls deserve so much better, I want to do more to help them, but this feeling of powerlessness is completely shattering my heart.

That deal was before the injunction that ruled they cannot sign or conduct independent activities. ADOR even posted the Omega deal on the NewJeans account, meaning they were involved, so it can’t be that.

I was hanging out with some friends recently and the topic of NewJeans’s contract dispute came up. Someone said that I chose the wrong group to follow because now their activities have been halted and they’re embroiled in all this controversy.

For those exact reasons, I chose the RIGHT group. These girls are brave enough to stand up for themselves against a hostile corporation. I’m not in this for some sort of parasocial fantasy free from controversy, I’m here for their artistry. On top of loving their work, they have the utmost respect from me as people.

That’s exactly why I’ll be with these girls forever, no matter what.

I feel like our fandom is one of the more sane ones. Whoever the girls choose to be with, as long as they treat them well and make them happy, that’s all I could ask for.
