The objection filed by the five members of New Jeans regarding the court’s injunction, which stated, “Return to Adore,” was also not accepted.

Seoul Central District Court Civil Agreement Division 50(Chief Judge Kim Sang-hoon)maintained its previous decision to grant the provisional disposition on the 16th, saying regarding the New Jeans members ‘objection to the provisional disposition, “Considering the claims and explanatory materials that the debtors have repeatedly emphasized in their objection and examining the records, we determine that the provisional disposition decision in this case is justified.”

On the 21st of last month, the court ruled in favor of Adore’s request for an injunction to preserve the agency’s status and prohibit the signing of advertising contracts with the members of New Jeans.

Meanwhile, regarding the court’s rejection of the objection on that day, the five members of New Jeans immediately filed an appeal through Sejong Law Firm, which is their legal representative.The appeal will be decided by the high court.

The five members of New Jeans notified their agency Adore of the termination of their contracts last November and began to pursue independent activities.As part of this, they attempted to pursue actual entertainment activities, such as performing at overseas paid concerts under the stage name ‘NJZ’, but the court accepted an injunction request banning independent entertainment activities, putting an abrupt halt on their activities.

Aside from the injunction battle that has led to an appeal, the five members of New Jeans are also embroiled in a lawsuit filed by their agency, Adore, to confirm the validity of their exclusive contracts.
