HYBE and ADOR reject criticism of NewJeans contracts, citing rights protections
HYBE and ADOR said on November 6 that NewJeans’ contracts protect sleep, education and rest rights, rejecting allegations of unusually restrictive terms. The companies said the agreements followed three months of discussions and that using members’ voices or faces in AI content requires individual consent. Former ADOR chief Min Hee-jin’s representatives disputed the companies’ account of responsibility for the contracts, saying HYBE’s legal team drafted and revised them.
