New Jeans announces breakup with Adore → Japanese schedule to proceed as normal.

While the group New Jeans has notified Adore of the termination of their exclusive contract, they are currently carrying out their scheduled schedule.

On the 29th (local time), New Jeans appeared on the Japanese TV Asahi music program 'Music Station' (M-Ste). New Jeans, who performed 'Ditto' and 'How Sweet', received enthusiastic cheers from local fans.

In particular, when asked about their favorite Japanese food, Baby Monster, who appeared together with them, answered "Sukiyaki," and New Jeans' Minji also said, "We also really like sukiyaki." In addition, Murakami Tetsuya of the Japanese group Gosperaz drew attention by expressing his love for New Jeans by saying, "I went to the Tokyo Dome concert in June and waved at their hands."

This is the first official schedule after New Jeans notified Adore of the termination of their exclusive contract. New Jeans held an emergency press conference at 8:30 PM on the 28th. Just two weeks after sending Adore a certified letter containing their demands on the 13th, they declared the termination of their contract at midnight on the 29th, saying, "Adore has neither the will nor the ability to protect New Jeans."

New Jeans emphasized that the responsibility for the situation lies with their agency, Adore, and that "there is absolutely no reason for them to pay a penalty." They also expressed their intention to keep the group name New Jeans and work with former CEO Min Hee-jin.
