5 Major Korean Entertainment Associations Publicly Condemn NJZ (NewJeans)

Major Korean Entertainment Associations urge, "NewJeans' independent activities put K-pop in crisis... There needs to be policy to eliminate interference"

Five music organizations, including the Korea Entertainment Management Association, Korea Entertainment Producers Association, Korea Music Label Industry Association, Korea Recording Industry Association, and the Korea Music Content Association, released a statement on February 19.

"The five music organizations would like to ask certain agencies and artists to stop manipulating public opinion without any basis to achieve their own interests to ensure the sustainable development of the popular culture and arts industry. We also ask the National Assembly and the government to support eradicating tampering, which is the main cause of conflict.

In the past ten months, incidents such as Min Hee Jin’s press conference, Hanni’s appearance at the National Assembly, and the group’s independent activities have attempted to resolve issues through public opinion and unilateral decisions rather than privately through negotiations or legal procedures. The conflict surrounding them continues to this day.

NewJeans' press conference last year became an opportunity for private disputes between artists and agencies to be excessively exposed to the media. With this, the cases of engaging in independent activities before receiving legal judgment have increased.

Artists who represent K-Pop are influencing public opinion and creating confusion in the industry through press conferences and independent activities, leading the K-Pop industry into a crisis.

We must prioritize responding to suspicions of tampering as it is an act that can instantly destroy a management company that has invested heavily into an artist solely based on the artist’s future value.

If contracts are not legally protected and are terminated by a unilateral decision, the K-Pop industry will lose its foundation for survival." cr koreaboo
