Previously, ADOR company announced the termination of the contract with Danielle, due to her delay in resolving the dispute between the group NewJeans and ADOR.
The female idol was fired from NewJeans 2 months after all 5 members of this group lost the lawsuit against ADOR in the contract dispute.
At the same time, ADOR has filed a lawsuit against Danielle, a member of her family, and former CEO Min Hee Jin, demanding compensation of 43.1 billion won.
Currently, in the NewJeans group, only 3 members Haerin, Hyein and Hanni are accepted by ADOR to return to operating under the company's management. The contract with Minji is still being discussed.
Explaining the reason for not being able to continue cooperating with Danielle, ADOR said that this female idol "caused acts of violating the exclusive contract, such as signing contracts contrary to the current exclusive contract; conducting independent entertainment activities; or having acts that harmed the honor and reputation of the company and the NewJeans group".
