[theqoo] TO THE PEOPLE TELLING NEWJEANS TO ENDURE LONGER

1. They endured the mockery that uses another group's name while dragging in their parents.

2. They endured being ignored by company members, and when they complained, they were met with a joke about having ‘facial recognition disorder.’

"Hanni was in HYBE's shared makeup space, and one of the managers for another HYBE artist told their artist to ignore Hanni, right in front of her. When the issue was brought up with ADOR's new CEO, Kim Jooyoung, they just brushed it off, saying there was no evidence."

3. They endured even when faced with absurdly low settlement amounts and accusations of being blinded by money.

""Two months after their debut, NewJeans received a settlement of '5.2 billion won' per member (~3.8M USD).

Amid ongoing conflicts with Min Hee-jin, CEO of ADOR (the subsidiary of HYBE to which girl group NewJeans belongs), it is estimated that last year each member of NewJeans received a settlement of 5.2 billion won.""

4. They endured having their trainee videos + unauthorized medical records exposed

5. They endured being a group that's less than two years old and giving them a army-enlistment-level of hiatus

"Person A said, "CEO Park Ji-won later came and told us, 'Even though CEO Min didn’t share any of the June NewJeans Tokyo Dome materials, since there are many professionals on our side, we’ll manage it well.'" They added, "He also mentioned that after the Tokyo Dome event, they plan to give NewJeans a long vacation.""

6. They endured the loss of Ban Hee-soo's channel, one of the major works from previous activities

"I think that ADOR’s policies have changed along with the new management. ADOR asked us to delete the videos and channel that Dolphiners Films have worked on and uploaded relating to NewJeans’ “Ditto” MV. We will now be unable to upload all the videos that we originally planned on releasing.

Dolphiners Films have been using the Ban Heesoo YouTube channel as a way to portfolio and archive our works, without a single cent of profit. The videos and channel were proactively made as we wanted to make something good for fans. Dolphiners Films does not gain any profits at all. But since ADOR has changed their stance on it, as per their request, we will delete everything and we cannot make any video public anymore.

From today on, I think Dolphiners Films will be unable to work with ADOR anymore. We had promised projects between us and the NewJeans’ members, but I’m sorry we cannot fulfil those anymore. I’m also sorry to the staff who worked late nights for months, and more than anything, towards the waiting fans.

Thank you."CR: Koreaboo

7. They endured having their CEO removed
