By replacing internal collaborators capable of nurturing the talent and skills of NewJeans, they have been left isolated and unsupported. Even if the replacement of management is a matter unrelated to the artistβs intentions, replacing the entire management team with personnel from HYBE, who are in a seemingly adversarial relationship with the artist, rather than a minor or naturally occurring change without ulterior motives, is highly unusual. Given that the public disputes between HYBEβs Bang Si-hyuk and ADORβs Min Hee-jin were fully exposed in the media at the time, it is reasonable to suspect that the purpose of not only forcing the resignation of former CEO Min Hee-jin but also replacing the entire ADOR management team was impure, aimed at undermining NewJeans.
Of course, it might be argued that the management replacement was solely the decision of the majority shareholder, the parent company HYBE, and not the fault of ADOR, the party to the exclusive contract in this case. However, regardless of who bears responsibility for the management replacement, if the company as perceived by the parties at the time of the exclusive contract has fundamentally changed into an entirely different entity, the nature of an exclusive contract, which is premised on a high degree of trust, means that maintaining the contractβs validity becomes untenable.
While the artistβs consent is not required for a companyβs management changes, at the very least, replacing the management with individuals who engage in actions contradictory to the artistβs interests provides no reason to maintain the exclusive contract. In other words, now that HYBEβs internal management, harboring hostility toward the artist, has taken control of ADORβs management, the current ADOR is: 1) an entirely different company from the ADOR at the time the exclusive contract was signed; 2) an untrustworthy company that poses a threat; or 3) an incompetent company incapable of offering any alternatives to protect against external threats.
In such a situation, the members have sought to improve relations in pursuit of a trustworthy relationship, but ADORβs response, as seen in the media, has failed to address the membersβ concerns or suspicions. Instead, ADOR has unilaterally demanded acceptance of its position, making it unlikely that a close cooperative and trust-based relationship can be formed between the parties, or that management and entertainment activities based on mutual trust can be expected. It is reasonable to conclude that the trust-based foundation of this contract has already collapsed to the extent that maintaining the contractual relationship as it stands is untenable.
