NJZ (Formerly NewJeans) Lose Court Battle Ahead of First Show Under New Name

NJZ, the K-pop group formerly known as NewJeans, lost a court battle against their old label ahead of their first performance under their new name.

NJZ, the K-pop outfit formerly known as NewJeans, were hit with a setback in their efforts to strike out on their own and leave the label they’ve accused of misconduct and mistreatment. Friday’s court decision comes just days before NJZ were set to take the stage under their new moniker for the first time at the ComplexCon festival in Hong Kong. A couple months later, NJZ held an emotional press conference announcing their decision to leave and accused the label of “manipulation,” “mistreatment,” “deliberate miscommunications,” and workplace harassment.
