Hello, this is Sejong LLC, the legal representative of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein Today, the Seoul Central District Court delivered its first-instance ruling in the lawsuit filed by ADOR Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “ADOR”) against the members, confirming the validity of the exclusive contracts. While the members respect the court’s decision, they maintain that, given the complete breakdown of trust with ADOR, it is impossible for them to return to the company and continue normal entertainment activities. Accordingly, the members plan to immediately appeal the first-instance judgment, and they hope that the appellate court will comprehensively review the facts and legal principles surrounding the termination of the exclusive contracts to reach a wise decision. Lastly, the members would like to express their sincere gratitude to the fans who have waited patiently and offered their unwavering support for so long.
