In the latest round of K-pop plot twists, ADOR’s official website has quietly undergone a makeover—one that completely erases any mention of NewJeans. The group’s dedicated page is gone, their link is gone, and in its place? A sleek audition page for an upcoming boy group, plastered with HYBE branding and zero trace of the five-member act now promoting as NJZ.
Fans are split right down the middle. Some see the wipe as a red flag for disbandment, a digital sign that the group’s relationship with the label is all but over. Others are treating it like a champagne-popping moment, hoping it’s the first real step toward NJZ’s independence after months of legal battles.
The backstory isn’t exactly sunshine. Since late 2024, the group and ADOR have been locked in a legal feud over contract breaches and mistreatment claims. NJZ pushed for autonomy, rebranding, and independent promotions, but the courts have mostly sided with ADOR, keeping the group tied to their current contract and blocking unsanctioned activities.
So, is this website purge a breakup announcement in disguise or a quiet liberation? For now, it’s just one more cliffhanger in a saga that’s been delivering drama on par with a primetime K-drama finale.
