The meetings were arranged to help both sides confirm their stance and discuss the necessary conditions for the group's future activities. Hanni, who is currently in the South, has yet to attend any private meetings.
This development comes after Haerin and Hyein announced their return to ADOR, before the deadline for appealing the first loss of litigation over the validity of their exclusive contracts. ADOR has officially announced the return of the two members after working with the family and reached an agreement.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining three members, Minji, Hanni and Danielle, also issued a statement through their legal representative, saying, After careful consideration, we decided to return to ADOR. Because the company has not responded, we have been forced to notify this privately. This is considered a unilateral statement, without prior discussion with ADOR.
In response, ADOR said it was verifying the intention behind the announcement and had begun coordinating private meetings with members to clarify each persons true wishes. The meetings between Minji, Danielle and the company are said to have taken place in the spirit of exchanging views, clarifying the conditions for the members to be able to work again.
In the previous developments, NewJeans accepted the court of first instance's ruling on the validity of the contract and did not file an appeal. After returning, ADOR affirmed that it will support Haerin and Hyein to continue their activities smoothly, and at the same time suggested that the audience not make baseless speculations.
The public is now waiting to see if the latest discussions can pave the way for a complete reunion between ADOR and all NewJeans members.
