The group New Jeans expressed their willingness to keep the group name.

Newzins held an emergency press conference at 8:30 p.m. on the 28th in Gangnam, Seoul, saying, `I may not be able to use the group name regardless of my will, but I am not willing to give up the group name.'

Since Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Adore, who is called 'Newzins Mom', resigned from the position of Adore's executive director on October 30, Newzins sent a proof of content on the 13th demanding the return of former CEO Min to Adore under his real name, measures to inappropriately mention Newzins in Hive's internal documents, and an apology for another label manager in Hive telling Newzins member Hani to 'Ignore you'.



At the same time, if these requirements are not corrected within two weeks, the sea declared that it would terminate the exclusive contract. The deadline for answering the content certification is 28 days, and members of Newzins expressed their position on this.

Minji made a request for correction for the violation of the exclusive contract, and the deadline ends at midnight on the 29th. It was the answer of the reluctant position and the continuous show-off. None of the requirements were made. Even though we have delivered our opinions several times, the insincere attitude is exhausting. I felt again that there was no sincerity about us at all. It's past business hours, less than four hours until midnight, and I don't think it's going to change, so I'm going to terminate my exclusive contract with Odor," he stressed.



Hyein may not be able to use the name "Newzins" regardless of our will. It doesn't change that five people are Newzins. I don't even want to give up my name. For some people, the name Newzins might feel like a trademark issue, but it's not just a question for us."

Emphasizing that "Since it is a name that contains all the days from the first time the five of us met until now, we will try to secure the name and rights of Newzins" "Nothing has been done regarding trademark rights." Maybe we should discuss such matters in the future," he added.
