Hani has decided to respect the court's ruling and continue with ADOR.
Minji is continuing discussions to broaden understanding with the agency.
[TV Daily Kim Jin-seok] It has been revealed that New Jeans' Daniel will be leaving the group. On the 29th, her agency, ADOR, stated officially that they are terminating Daniel's contract while discussions regarding Hani's return are ongoing.
They conveyed that Hani visited Korea with her family to engage in extensive dialogue with the company, ultimately deciding to respect the court's ruling and continue her work with ADOR. In contrast, Minji is maintaining communication with ADOR to broaden their mutual understanding.
ADOR also announced its intention to hold legal accountability for Daniel and her family regarding the circumstances leading to the withdrawal from New Jeans. They underscored that misunderstandings arose from the distorted information members received and committed to resolving the situation based on the true facts.
The recent decisions for Hani and Minji's return discussions are overshadowed by Daniel's departure, leaving fans shocked. The fact that the members have faced distorted information continuously indicates a serious need for a strong foundation of trust between the artists and their agency.
Hani's determination to return highlights the importance of communication with fans. Her decision to respect the court's ruling and return demonstrates a commitment to overcoming past conflicts and fulfilling her responsibilities as a member of New Jeans. This proactive stance can be seen as a positive signal to fans.
However, ADOR's mention of legal accountability adds complexity to the situation. If the conflict between the agency and the artists escalates into a legal battle, it could negatively impact the carefully built image. Thus, fans are increasingly hoping for an amicable resolution between the two parties.
