A collection of opinions from lawyers who watched the New Jeans press conference

Attorney Se-hoon Ahn
The penalty issue related to termination of New Genes’ exclusive contract is at least 300 billion won and up to 6 won.
Expected to be up to 100 billion won: New Genes did not violate the contract.
Rather, Eodo and Hive claimed that there was a violation of the contract, so there was no obligation to pay the penalty.
It says:
New Genes wanted to announce that they had no intention of giving up the right to use the group name.
They emphasize that it is not a vote issue, but their identity.
Legally, there is a possibility of a difficult battle: over the framework for termination of the exclusive contract.
In order to do so, there must be a ‘significant breach of contract’ and it does not improve even after requesting correction.
Hey, Hive and Fish Island are separate corporations, so there are complicated legal issues.
Here:
We wanted to make it appear that NewJeans’ press conference was held without sufficient legal review.
If the bunch becomes long, there is a risk of activity restrictions.

Attorney Yujin Moon
In order to terminate an exclusive contract, there must be a serious breach of contract and it must be corrected.
Possible when there is no improvement despite request: ‘Protection’ of Nugenes or Adore
It claimed a ‘breach of duty’ but did not provide specific reasons:
The contract stipulates a two-week correction period, but before that period expires,
There is no hasty decision to hold a press conference:
The fundamental background of this incident is the conflict between former CEO Min Hoe-jin and Hive.
This is difficult to legally justify the termination of the contract:
Due to the nature of the idol industry, the agency’s enormous investment costs and risks must be taken into consideration.
It is difficult to terminate a contract due to an emotional decision:

Attorney Joo-yeon Heo
It is difficult for the reasons claimed by Newgenes Axis to legally justify termination of the contract.
Looks like he’s crying:
In order to terminate a contract, the fact that actual damage has occurred and the intention of the contracting parties must be met.
You must prove non-violation:
In terms of the legal situation, what does it mean for Nugenes to say that it will not apply for a preliminary injunction?
It looks like we’re just waiting for the door axle to claim a penalty:

Attorney Yang Ji-yeol
The Ministry of Employment and Labor considers the idol and the agency to be parties to the contract.
Make it difficult to take legal responsibility for workplace harassment, etc.:
In response to the ‘disrespectful’ remarks towards Hanearm, Adore said that other believers are also subject to independent contracts.
The position is that since it is a lion, it cannot be held legally responsible.
Former CEO Min Hoe-jin’s request for reinstatement is difficult to establish legally:
Hive and Adore are legally separate companies, so Hive’s business framework is Adore.
It is difficult to attribute a breach of contract to:
New Genes believes that the legal nature of the exclusive contract is not an employment relationship but an equal contract.
The key factor in narrowing the legal scope of axis claims is hot.

Juhye Lim Attorney
The first issue is the legality of the reason for contract termination, which is a clear and serious violation of the contract.
A reason is required:
The second peak is the issue of penalty, which can be reduced at the court’s discretion, but ‘the full amount’
It is difficult to enter the ‘exemption’ framework:
There were concerns about restrictions on activity during the Hinayana period. As a result, Newjins was able to continue its normal activities.
Movement can become difficult:
Newgenes or harassment or interference with activities must be specifically introduced.
This will be a very difficult task:
Regardless of legal victory or defeat, this dispute is a wasteful legal battle over the anti-financial framework of New Genes.
There is a risk of sending it to:

Attorney Sangrok Ko
It is a dangerous choice for New Genes to say that it will not apply for an injunction to suspend effect.
It can be:
Just because you don’t apply for a temporary injunction doesn’t mean you’ll be free from activity.
You need to proceed with careful legal procedures.
Newgenes’ declaration that it will operate without basic legal protection means that in the future
Further problems may result in:

+ Attorney Hyeongon Lee
New Jeans has announced the termination of its exclusive contract with its agency Adore. New Jeans’ decision
It is assessed that this may be legally sound.
New Jeans announced the termination of the contract without requesting a preliminary injunction, thereby reaping the benefits of Mr. Adore.
This seems like a trivial choice to avoid creating a situation that needs to be raised:
It is predicted that this incident may put a new dent in the entertainment industry’s exclusive contract practices.
