ADOR Has “Less Than 5% Chance” Of Winning Full Lawsuit, According To Legal Experts
Legal experts believe ADOR has a very low chance of winning its full ₩43.1 billion lawsuit against Danielle, her family, and Min Hee Jin.Summary
Legal experts predict that ADOR’s lawsuit against Danielle, her family, and former CEO Min Hee Jin will likely result in significantly reduced damages, with a less than 5% chance of the court fully awarding the claimed ₩43.1 billion. Korean courts have the authority to reduce excessive damage claims, and this amount is considered unusually high for entertainment contract disputes, especially given Danielle’s remaining contract length. Courts prioritize proven losses over projected profits and consider the artist’s contribution to the group’s success, potentially deducting Danielle’s talent and popularity from the damages sought. Furthermore, NewJeans’ existing revenue from global activities and endorsements suggests ADOR has already recovered much of its investment. ADOR also faces challenges in extending liability to Min Hee Jin and Danielle’s family without clear evidence of direct involvement or illegal interference.
