NJZ (NewJeans) Ridiculed For Their Response To Latest Court Ruling
NJZ (NewJean) has released a formal statement regarding the latest court decision regarding ADOR‘s injunction.
On May 30, KST, the 52nd Civil Affairs Department of the Seoul Central District Court revealed that NJZ cannot be active without consulting their agency, ADOR. The court also imposed a mandatory clause stating that if the group members violate the decision, they must pay ADOR ₩1.00 billion KRW (about $723,000 USD) in damages per violation.
Regarding this decision, NJZ’s legal representatives issued a response stating that it was only temporary and that the group still had a chance to win its appeal against the original injunction.
Today’s indirect compulsory enforcement decision stems from a petition filed by ADOR on April 4 as a follow-up to the original injunction issued on March 21, which prohibited the group from carrying out independent activities. This is separate from the currently ongoing appeal regarding the original injunction. The indirect enforcement decision is temporary and will be rendered ineffective if NewJeans wins the appeal case. In practice, such enforcement decisions often accompany injunctions when issued.
— NJZ’s legal representatives
While the clarification from NJZ’s legal team was supposedly aimed toward expressing confidence in the group’s appeals case against ADOR, it has only brought them further public backlash, as many saw this statement as redundant and wishful thinking.
- “They have turned crazy just like their fans.”
- “They must be confident they’re going to win.”
— “It seems like they were always certain.” - “I also want to live in this level of delusion.”
- “If they appeal, it will be treated like the main case all over again, LOL.”
- “Isn’t this something everyone already knows? I guess they’re confident about winning the appeal, just like how the members showed up in person during the injunction case, too.”
