NewJeans separates from Hybe: Legal disputes on the horizon

The K-pop sensation NewJeans has officially announced its intention to part ways with its current label Hybe in a dramatic move. This unexpected split could lead to legal disputes between the successful girl group and the music giant. The band, which has dominated the charts with its hits, announced that it will terminate its exclusive contract with ADOR, a subsidiary of South Korea's largest music conglomerate Hybe, on November 29. In a hastily convened press conference on Thursday evening, members of NewJeans expressed that this step was necessary due to a breach of contract by the management. The announcement promises to shake up the dynamics in the South Korean music industry and could have far-reaching consequences for both NewJeans and Hybe.
