A South Korean court has granted an injunction to bar popular K-pop group NewJeans from acting independently of the management agency ADOR.
The Seoul Central District Court delivered the decision on Friday.

ADOR launched a lawsuit, claiming the exclusive contract is still valid. It also filed for the injunction to bar the group from independent activities under the new name.
The group members plan to file an objection against the injunction.
The latest development will affect show business activity by the globally popular band.
