The case in which the manager of the group New Jeans reported the CEO of Adore, Kim Joo-young, for workplace bullying has been concluded with “No charges”.

The Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office under the Ministry of Employment and Labor recently processed the case filed by former Adore employee and New Jeans manager A as ‘Administrative Closure (No Charges)’.

This is because it is impossible to confirm whether or not there was workplace bullying based solely on the plaintiff‘s claims and the materials he submitted.

A is known to have met with advertisers after New Jeans claimed in November of last year that “Our contract with Adore had ended” and excluded Adore.

In response, Adore conducted an audit after finding out that A had acted in a maritime manner, and A claimed that she had been bullied in the workplace.
