뉴진스, 활동 잠정 중단 "법원 결정 준수해 활동 멈추겠다" It's time for our daily dose of K-enter news with Walter Lee. Starting off with some big news on NJZ or NewJeans. NewJeans or NJZ have come back into the spotlight again, performing at a concert in Hong Kong. However, it might not have been the ending that fans wanted. On Sunday, after their set at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, NewJeans announced to the crowd that the performance might be their last for a while, adding that they have decided to suspend all activities in compliance with a court ruling in South Korea. In a controversial move by the group, the venue displayed the name "NJZ" instead of NewJeans on stage, and official merchandise was sold under the NJZ name. Also ADOR had sent staff to Hong Kong in an attempt to support the members as their agency, but they reportedly could not meet with the NewJeans members on-site. Sounds like an uncomfortable situation indeed, now going back to what's happening here in Korea with the court case. What exactly has the court ruled on? And did the group have anything to say about the matter? On Friday, the Seoul Central District Court accepted ADOR’s injunction request against all five members of NewJeans, preventing them from engaging in independent activities such as signing advertising contracts without the agency’s consent. As a result, NewJeans cannot operate independently until the first trial of the main lawsuit is concluded. As a protest against this lawsuit, all members have expressed their determination not to return to ADOR, even if it means suspending their activities scheduled under the agency. On Saturday, the group shared their disappointment over the court’s decision in an interview with Time magazine, making remarks that seemed to criticize the ruling. Their comments, which included references to Korean society and implied they were being portrayed as revolutionaries, sparked online controversy. A court hearing is scheduled for April 3. for the members to appeal their injunction. We have been keeping a close eye on this story so I am sure we will see more developments. Let's move on to something a little lighter with the boy group NCT Wish. Over the weekend, NCT Wish, the Japanese sub group of NCT, wrapped up their Seoul leg of their Asian tour titled "2025 NCT WISH ASIA TOUR LOG in SEOUL" which was held at the Olympic Handball Gymnasium in Seoul, with all three shows completely sold out. The concerts were also live-streamed, allowing fans from around the world to join in with the experience. Following this, at midnight on Monday, they released some additional teaser content on their official social media channels, revealing a detailed promotion schedule and further building anticipation for their new music. NCT Wish will continue their Asia tour with stops in Macau, Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Jakarta, and Bangkok. #NJZ #NewJeans #ADOR #contract_dispute #Kpop #뉴진스 #엔제이지 #K팝 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Twitter :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Homepage : https://arirang.com/ 2025-03-24, 14:00 (KST)
