Multiple online users in South Korea have been fined for posting malicious content targeting K-pop girl group NewJeans, including a deepfake creator sentenced to 15 million won (roughly $10,300).

ADOR terminated Danielle's contract, prompting speculation that she may join THE BLACK LABEL after recent activities with Park Bo Gum, Sean, and Unknown Crew running group members.

Ador terminates NewJeans member Danielle's exclusive contract amid ongoing dispute. Agency plans legal action while remaining members negotiate return; five-member comeback uncertain.

Belift Lab sues NewJeans fan group Team Bunnies for 100 million won over defamation and leaked documents linked to plagiarism claims involving K-pop group ILLIT.

ADOR recently announced legal actions to protect NewJeans' rights following the company's legal victory against the girl group.

Two NewJeans members have officially returned to ADOR, while three others have signaled intent to rejoin following a year-long legal dispute that reshaped the K-pop industry.

Dozens of influential Korean figures are protesting the activity ban against NewJeans.

NewJeans members Danielle and Minji were spotted appearing in court for a mediation session regarding their ongoing contract case with agency ADOR.

K-pop girl group NewJeans is banned from "independent activities" by the South Korean Supreme Court after failing to file an appeal by the deadline.

The K-pop girl group lost a lawsuit filed against Ador, a subsidiary of South Korean entertainment giant Hybe.

The group made the announcement at the AsiaWorld-Expo after they debuted their new song "Pit Stop." It is unclear how long their hiatus would be.

NJZ's Danielle also recalled constantly feeling a sense of being monitored when they were trainees under HYBE, particularly in the practice room.

Ador said it is seeking to block NJZ members from pursuing independent activities, arguing that they are still bound by an exclusive contract with the agency.

The parents of the K-pop group said HYBE only thinks of the members as a way to make money and sabotages them instead of cheering them on.

The article claimed NJZ was signing with BANA and that the agency was already handling the group's "overseas media interview requests."

The accusations come after NJZ released their new logo featuring a Y2K stylized metallic font that some netizens have said were similar to aespa's.

K-pop group NewJeans is now rebranding to NJZ and is set to perform under their new name at ComplexCon in March.

In a statement, the girl group's parents collectively accused the media of printing misinformation.
