The NewJeans and Ador case has received a new update. As both parties await the court’s final ruling on the 30th of this month, 32 intellectuals and activists from both the left and right camps petitioned the South Korean government to protect NewJeans' freedom.
In a lengthy statement circulating on social media, 32 intellectuals pleaded for the ban on the South Korean girl group to be lifted, enabling them to participate in entertainment activities.
They wrote:
“We regret the fact that New Jeans is fundamentally banned from all entertainment and entertainment activities due to the injunction of the small court.”
They continued:
“We urge the government to step in at the national level and, through a nationwide consensus and coordination, prevent the members’ desired activities from being fundamentally banned due to a single court ruling based on a flawed standard contract, thereby preventing the disintegration of a world-class idol group, which could be a national asset.”
They concluded:
“I hope you will actively consider introducing a US-style authorized agency system as a fundamental solution to the frequent contractual accidents and disputes between celebrities and agencies that occur only in Korea.”
The statement has caused a buzz on social media as fans react.
@AlinaCondrat tweeted:
“This crap’s still going?!? Ffs, just let the girls do the job they trained hard to do.”
Fans react to the 32 intellectuals and activists' statement on NewJeans freedom
@kchartsmaster on X formerly Twitter shared the statement with the caption:
“32 Korean intellectuals and industry experts have sent a letter condemning the ban on NewJeans activities. — “The Court and Government Must Guarantee NewJeans' Activities”. The verdict for the case is scheduled for October 30th.”
The post quickly garnered mixed reactions as netizens took to the comments section to express their opinions.
Most fans agreed with the 32 intellectuals, calling for New Jeans to begin new projects.
“The entire world stands with New Jeans. F*ck HYBE and ADOR. Free the girls.”
“Wow, it’s incredible to see 32 Korean intellectuals and industry experts standing up for NewJeans! The ban on their activities feels so unfair, and with the court verdict looming on October 30th, I really hope the girls get the freedom to shine again. Their talent deserves to be heard!”
“Newjeans demonstrates the determination of young people from Generation Z to be fierce in what they believe in. Any loss of this kind is a loss for all of us as a society.”
Other netizens believed that neither Hybe nor Ador was stopping the girls from working.
“They don’t seem that intellectual, since it’s those women who don’t want to return to their workplace, probably because they’re being manipulated by one person.”
“We already know who started this shit…. the one who recently built a company. Trying to affect the court’s decision and people’s minds, huh??? Dirty work as always.”
“No one is banning their activities. What is with all this misinformation. They are just not allowed independent activities while they are still under contract. They can work all they want, that’s what the court wants them to do. These girls are the ones refusing to work.”
