NewJeans’ ‘Harsh’ Contract: 4 Out of 5 Members Dropped Out of School + Members Were Required to Pay for Cosmetic Procedures. In a report published on November 5, The New York Times revealed several provisions it described as unfair in the exclusive contract signed by all five NewJeans members with ADOR in 2022, when they were minors between the ages of 14 and 17. According to the report, four out of the five members dropped out of school during that period. The contract also included a clause requiring the members to bear a substantial portion of the costs of cosmetic surgeries, skincare, and other cosmetic procedures incurred during their trainee years. The newspaper also cited sources familiar with the matter, who stated that practicing until 2 a.m. was common during the members’ trainee period, without any guarantee of adequate rest breaks. The controversial provisions did not stop there. The report also highlighted restrictions on the members’ behavior, the method used to calculate contractual penalties, and clauses allowing ADOR to continue using their names, images, and voices even after the contracts had expired. n.news.naver.com/article/032…
