In a significant legal decision this October, a South Korean court ruled that the popular music group NewJeans must honor their contract with the agency ADOR, extending their collaboration until 2029.

ADOR has attributed the recent disputes and delays in the group’s activities to the actions of Marsh, a family member, and Min, whom they hold largely accountable for the situation.

According to a report by The Chosun Daily on Monday, ADOR has taken legal action by filing a lawsuit with the Seoul District Court. The agency is seeking over $44 million in damages, naming Marsh, a family member, and Min as the defendants.

Meanwhile, in a separate development, Pham was quoted by Reuters addressing South Korean leaders on workplace issues, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect. “I know it’s not going to solve all the problems in the world,” Pham stated, “but if we just respect each other, at least there will be no problems with bullying and harassment in the workplace.”
