(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Tae-su Lee = Members of the girl group NewJeans, who are in a contract dispute with the music planning company ADOR, have revealed their determination not to return by soliciting ideas for a new stage name.

On the 23rd, NewJeans announced through their newly created social network service (SNS) account ‘jeanzforfree’ that they “plan to gather new stage names to use for a certain period over two days” and encouraged fans to “participate by leaving comments.”

The post attracted significant attention from their fandom, ‘Bunnies,’ accumulating over 16,000 comments in less than 50 minutes.

The members further emphasized in a separate statement posted on SNS, “The five of us have no intention of returning to Hybe and ADOR, which we cannot even expect minimal trust from.”

They claimed, “While ADOR and Hybe ask us to return, they have constantly harassed and attacked us out of public view, and recently have been meeting some of our parents secretly to persuade or cause discord.”

The members have taken a position that their exclusive contract with ADOR was terminated due to ADOR’s failure to fulfill obligations since November 29 last year. However, ADOR continues to assert that the contract is still valid and has filed a lawsuit confirming the validity of the exclusive contract and applied for an injunction prohibiting the “preservation of agency status and conclusion of advertisement agreements.”

NewJeans announced that they have appointed the law firm Sejong as their representative in response to this lawsuit. Sejong is the legal representative of Min Hee-jin, the former CEO of ADOR.
