[English Translation]
Now the pieces are finally falling into place. Min Hee-jin had been demanding the right to terminate the contracts because she wanted to correct the unfair terms ADOR(HYBE) had imposed on the NewJeans members. But back then, they framed her attempt as an effort to poach the members.
Below is an excerpt from the Yonhap News article:
“According to the standard contract, a label’s rights to an entertainer’s name, image, and voice should expire when the contract ends. However, this provision was missing from NewJeans’ contracts.
As a result, the agency could continue using NewJeans’ image and voice rights even after the contracts ended. The NYT also pointed out that this could potentially extend to creating voice replicas or chatbots using artificial intelligence (AI) trained on their voices.”
