[All] Can't see New Jeans on the music charts, continuous crisis... Music Copyright Association "Efforts to eradicate tampering"
[Herald POP=Reporter Park Seo-hyun] A crisis has come to the group New Jeans.
On the 13th, the Korea Music Content Association (hereafter referred to as the KMCA) released a statement regarding the tampering incident.
The Korea Music Copyright Association stated, "Regardless of whether the allegations of tampering (advance contact before contract expiration) against former Adore CEO Min Hee-jin are true, they are very concerning in that they clearly reveal how rampant tampering is in the popular music industry. It has shown that such tampering attempts can easily occur not only at small and medium-sized agencies but also at large agencies, so we can no longer turn a blind eye to this issue."
In doing so, he urged, "New Jeans should guarantee faithful performance of the exclusive contract and negotiate with the agency through sincere dialogue, but if no agreement is reached, it should wait for the judiciary's decision."
He added, "The Circle Chart operated by this association will also consider excluding album and music source sales of agencies and related artists suspected of tampering from its compilation. We will also consider excluding them from the music broadcast programs and major domestic music award ceremonies for which Circle Chart provides data."
Currently, Circle Chart's sales data is being provided to eight ranking music programs, including KBS2's 'Music Bank', MBC's 'Music Core', SBS's 'Inkigayo', and Mnet's 'M Countdown', as well as music award ceremonies, such as the 'Circle Chart Music Awards', 'MAMA Awards', and 'Golden Disc Awards'. If New Jeans is excluded from the Circle Chart's tally due to suspicions of tampering, it will be difficult to meet them on music charts and award ceremonies.
On the 28th of last month, New Jeans held an emergency press conference regarding the termination of their exclusive contract with Adore and stated, "We will terminate our contract with Adore as of midnight on the 29th. Since the fault lies with Hive and Adore, there is no reason to sue, and there is no reason for us to pay a penalty." Adore has filed a lawsuit to confirm the validity of their exclusive contract.
Currently, New Jeans is not using the name New Jeans after announcing the termination of their contract with Adore. If they disappear from the Circle Chart, New Jeans' crisis will only deepen. It remains to be seen how the New Jeans situation will unfold. I hope the tampering suspicions are resolved well and we can see them on the music charts and at award ceremonies.
