[All] New Jeans MV Director: "Stop lying, Adore. Why are you trying to persuade me by calling me a spreader of false information?"

There really is no end to the conflict~~

It must be because New Jeans is doing well~

I really hope they stop harming their agency's singers and other people for their own personal gain...

In this situation, New Jeans, who always works brightly and diligently...

Everything passes... Cheer up~~

Shin Woo-seok, the representative of Dolphin Kidnapping Group who produced major music videos for the group New Jeans such as 'Ditto' and 'ETA', has once again posted a statement against Adore.

On the 9th, Director Shin Woo-suk called for an apology from Adore through his SNS account. Director Shin said, "CEO Kim Joo-young, Vice President Lee Do-kyung. I have the recording and emails, so stop lying." He also said, "In Adore's statement, I am the one spreading false information, so why are you trying so hard to contact me and persuade me behind my back?"

He continued, "I received legal advice, and as previously agreed, ownership of the Ban Hee-soo channel belongs to the Dolphin Kidnapping Group. However, the rights to the channel are not particularly important to the Dolphin Kidnapping Group. We are satisfied as long as the Ban Hee-soo channel exists as an extension of the work."

The new director stated, “We only have one demand: an apology,” and “If you post an apology on Adore’s official channel by today, the Dolphin Kidnapping Group will transfer Ban Hee-soo’s channel to Adore.” He announced legal action, saying, “If there is no apology, I will find a way to transfer Ban Hee-soo’s channel to the fans, and I will sue Adore for defamation with evidence of the previous agreement.” He continued, “Do not distort the truth with dirty media play.”

Adore and director Shin Woo-suk have been publicly debating the truth since the 2nd. Director Shin stated on the 2nd, "It seems that there has been a change in Adore's policy due to the change in management," and "Due to Adore's request for deletion, the New Jeans music video and related videos and channels that Dolphin Kidnapping Group has worked on and uploaded, as well as videos that were scheduled to be uploaded in the future, cannot be released." Adore has refuted the claims, stating that the content is not true.

On the 27th of last month, Adore dismissed former CEO Min Hee-jin and appointed Hive's CHRO Kim Joo-young as the new CEO. Adore stated that former CEO Min would continue to produce New Jeans, but former CEO Min objected, claiming that the content of the production delegation contract was unreasonable.

Below is the full statement from Director Shin Woo-seok

good morning.

Mr. Kim Joo-young, Mr. Lee Do-kyung, Vice President. I have the recording and emails, so please stop lying. And in Adore’s statement, I am the one spreading false information, so why are you trying so hard to contact me and persuade me behind my back? Rather than protecting Adore’s employees, you are framing them. Is this how you have been doing things? We have been bullied for a long time, so it is not easy to adapt. If this is how it is for us working in other industries, I cannot even imagine how it is for workers in the entertainment industry.

I received legal advice, and as previously agreed, ownership of the Ban Hee-soo channel belongs to the Dolphin Kidnapping Group. However, the rights to the channel are not particularly important to the Dolphin Kidnapping Group. We are satisfied as long as the Ban Hee-soo channel exists as an extension of the work. This channel was created from the beginning for the fans without any compensation, and I do not want to see the fans worrying that it will be permanently deleted due to disputes. I have considered transferring the channel to the fan club, but I cannot think of a good way. That is why I am planning to transfer ownership of the channel to Adore. However, it is an absolute preservation condition. The channel must be operated under the principle of absolute preservation, where nothing on the channel is deleted, modified, or added.

And I have one request.

Apologize.

- Apology for the harsh corrective action demands that did not respect our partners

- Apology for ignoring existing agreements and infringing copyright

- Apology for the criticism of the Dolphin Kidnapping Group and CEO Shin Woo-seok through the statement

If you post an apology including this on Adore's official channel by today, Dolphin Kidnapping Group will transfer Ban Hee-soo's channel to Adore. Adore just needs to apologize. All we want is for Adore to admit their mistake and resolve this situation for the sake of confused fans. So please stop adding useless cowardly words and just apologize. If there is no apology, I will look for a way to transfer Ban Hee-soo's channel to the fans and sue Adore for defamation with evidence of the previous agreement.

And you did it again even though I told you not to. Don't distort the truth with dirty media play. You'll do it again anyway.
