NewJeans Members to Be Fined $734,000 Each for Unauthorized Activities, Korean Court Rules


NewJeans members will be fined for unauthorized activities not approved by their agency ADOR, a Korean court ruled on Friday (May 31).

(L-R) Hyein, Hanni Pham, Minji, Danielle Marsh and Haerin of NewJeans attend the 2024 Billboard Women In Music at YouTube Theater on March 06, 2024 in Inglewood, California. In a ruling issued Friday (May 31), the court granted ADOR’s request for indirect compulsory enforcement, ordering each member of the group — Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein — to pay 1 billion KRW ($734,000) for every unauthorized entertainment activity carried out without the company’s approval. “Until a verdict on the first trial on the ongoing lawsuit regarding the validity of NewJeans’ exclusive contracts is delivered, the members are prohibited from engaging in any entertainment-related activities without ADOR’s prior approval,” the court stated.
