Official Statement Regarding TenAsia’s Exclusive Article

Hello,

We would like to clarify that the exclusive article by TenAsia reporter Lee Min-kyung, titled "NJZ Joins Hands with BANA," is entirely false and baseless.

NJZ has never entered into any contract or held discussions with BANA regarding agency representation. The article claims to be based on testimony from "multiple industry insiders," but this is nothing more than a fabricated rumor. The fact that such an article was published without verifying the details with the involved parties, including BANA, suggests an intent to stir controversy.

We will be taking legal action against TenAsia for repeatedly spreading unverified falsehoods. This includes filing a complaint with the Press Arbitration Commission and pursuing strong criminal action.

NewJeans and those associated with them have already suffered severe emotional distress due to the continuous spread of unfounded claims presented as facts, leading to numerous misleading follow-up reports.

We urge TenAsia reporter Lee Min-kyung to take full legal responsibility for this article and the dissemination of false information.

We sincerely apologize for any disturbance caused on this evening before the weekend. Wishing you a peaceful night.
