These fees only apply if the group continues with promotional activities while still under their contract, which they haven't done. The only fees they'll likely pay are the court fees, which are capped in most cases (though the exact amount would depend on the case, but it's not going to be anywhere near that amount). 

 

It's obvious they'll just keep appealing in hopes they can run out the contract time and then move on to another agency, assuming they continue in entertainment. Sucks for us and them, but it's better than going back to a toxic workplace. 

I read that those are the lawyer fees. Regardless, making a 17 year old pay a billion dollar conglomerate's lawyer fees is heinous. Are you one of the ghouls supporting this because MHJ "brought up poor Lsfm and illit"?

If you meant the 730k fees, then no, they're definitely just for breaching the contract: Court orders NewJeans to pay $730,000 per independent activity without Ador's approval - The Korea Times

 

They'll have to pay legal fees if they lose but Idk how much these are (my guess would be less than <10k, though). And no, I support NJ 100% but I think they (and we) knew this court case was not going to go their way. They can avoid going back to that trash company and hopefully ride out the rest of their contract in appeals. That way they don't breach anything and avoid massive legal costs.

we need the ":rip:" reaction ASAP

le sserafim sells female empowerment (antifragile, unforgiven) while sacrificing innocent girls for profit (garam) and kikiing at other girls' downfalls at a corporation's will

Good karma for girls who never betray other girls and work with their mother and shaman to destroy other girls' reputation because of jealousy
 

 

We come to a point where Kpop need to really debut only adult members. And need to unionize. 

 

A lots of them situation happening right now wouldn't be happening.

The biggest jumpscare you'll experience this Halloween is realizing Zhang Hao is playing the woman's ex and not the man's :dies:

For starters, you can commit intellectual property theft even with your own contracted employees if you don't give them proper credits or have a contract that gives you full control of their entire output for life. For example, SM contracts out for a lot of their 3D art, especially moving art. They secure licensing agreements to maintain that art but if they want to slightly modify that art while still maintaining the same design, they either have to make a new contract with the original designer or create new art that is visually distinct enough that it doesn't infringe on that artists' creative property.

 

MHJ is infamous for keeping a lot of her IP and that's part of why she and SM had a falling out. MHJ finally got to release her version of White Fox (NJZ), but you'll notice that SM's version of White Fox (H2H) had to be altered dramatically DESPITE having MHJ as a contracted employee because MHJ holds the rights to her IP.

 

Just because one creative is under another sublabel in the same company does not mean you can plagiarize at will or use their creative IP. There's a reason H2H can't just recreate NJZ's choreo and had to make their mascot a horse instead of a bunny and had to create a different sound even though their label had NJZ's IP under their label and MHJ's work was contracted to them. BELIFT cannot plagiarize ADOR just because an ADOR employee was paid for their art for a comeback, especially when BELIFT did not pay that artist.

Miss A had terrible longevity and got surpassed by NJZ in a matter of months.  I'm an Aespa stan and used to get dragged for downplaying NJZ, but damn, y'all take delusion to the next level. Miss A had two smashes, two big hits and a bunch of mild successes. 
 

NJZ are #1 all-time for female groups for digital points (about to be the first to hit 10B). They have over a decade of weeks on the chart and they've been around for a bit more than 3 years :deadbanana:  They have a chart run that would have cleared all of our faves digitally.

The point is that Kesha/Britney stans are trying to hold Korea to the standards we want to see America held to.

Not just shelve them, but bring clones out, too. A total 2NE1-BP situation.

I guess u dont know what longetivity means :rip:

 

Less tik tok for you and more reading i guess

 

Also the court said NO sow why u act as if u know her contract better than the people who read it :rip:

 

I mean arguing with NJ stans here is like arguing with toddlers... nonsensical takes that have 0 touch with reality

Already missed the Hearts2hearts stage, so my plan worked perfectly! :cm:

It's honestly funny how the same people who bombarded HYBE to kick Garam out are now using her name to drag the company and act like they cared all along. The hypocrisy writes itself.

Hanni needs to issue a public apology to ILLIT and their manager.

 

She caused a regular worker quit her job and ILLIT to get attacked over nothing.

After all the torments, death threats and bullying from majority of the Tokkis,

 

the JUSTICE is served :clap3:

 

You guys are so ******* whack. Crying bullying and hate trains every day while being the most disgusting bullies of them all. You guys want NJ to end up like Sulli or jonghyun just because your precious groups were merely mentioned in a press conference. Crazy. 
 

 

if ILLIT had real fans they would be streaming their music, but instead they are stuck with pathetic satellite armys like yourself. What I find the most funny about you guys is that you talk all this game, but newjeans still has more streams in their inactive year than ILLIT does 😭😭😭 illit's total sales are less than the OMG single album sales, and their total streams are less than the two songs on that album. If you guys actually cared about karma or anything past licking corporate bootyhole you could at least buy their **** 

 

 

@Antunes what are you confused about?

And the second is just a cheeky ATRL comment that we all do, but i guess u can have certain members throw LSRF slurs every other post but if i do a harmless joke is weird... ok i see you miss kdollarsignellie and your double standards 

 

get a grip please yourself :rip: 

 

Because contracts arent so easy to escape from in every entertainment business yet u guys act like "only in korea"...

what double standard :deadbanana: you can't just make up a scenario and argue that cause I've never made shady comments towards them and I think that aespa stan that spams the thread about them is also weird??
