On Wednesday, December 25, the South Korean media outlet released an article reporting that NewJeans have been using HYBE Labels' practice rooms and dormitory despite their termination from the agency.
The article further stated that the members have been illegally occupying these spaces.
When this landed on the internet, fans and netizens were confused. They were unsure as to why the group members allegedly continued to use the practice rooms and dormitory, especially after NewJeans expressed their displeasure on working with HYBE Labels and ADOR.
Additionally, netizens also labeled the members' actions as inappropriate. Here are a few fan reactions regarding the same:

"they want to leave so bad, and yet they still use everything from HYBE… a total joke"
"How entitled?? Living in a house paid by HYBE but they don’t want to be there. They should move in with mhj or let her pay for them" said a fan on X
"But I thought they said that are not under Hybe anymore…" added another fan
"They dot even belong there anymore. Honestly, disgusting. Glad I don't Stan them." commented a netizen
More fans and netizens called out the members' actions. They expressed that though they love the K-pop girl group, they don't believe that the girls' decision to use HYBE's properties was right.
"for a group that wants to be out ASAP they sure don’t act like it" stated a fan
"its the audacity to me...like u claim ur ending contracts, u wanna fight against a conglomerate bcoz the company mistreats u but ur still using hybe's fascilities and money" added an X user

All you need to know about NewJeans' departure from HYBE Labels and its subsidiary, ADOR
On November 28, NewJeans held an emergency press conference to announce their departure from their agency, ADOR.
Previously, the members released a 14-day ultimatum for their agency, stating that ADOR needs to fulfill a certain set of demands and tasks in order for NewJeans to continue under the agency.
The emergency press conference was held on the last of the 14-day ultimatum, and since ADOR failed to meet the group's demands, they chose to depart from the agency.
The members also shared that during the emergency press conference, they received an email from ADOR right before the conference was held.
In the email, they reportedly stated that the agency didn't have enough to fulfill all these tasks and demands. They also requested NewJeans to rethink their decision of departing from the agency.
Regardless, the K-pop girl group members chose to depart from ADOR due to the agency's alleged inability to protect and flourish the growth of NewJeans, stated the members.
Following the press conference, ADOR released a statement expressing that they regretted seeing the emergency press conference take place. They further requested the members to continue working under ADOR since their contract still stands valid.
Furthermore, ADOR also filed a lawsuit against the NewJeans members, asking them to validate their contract time period. They stated that the group's contract supposedly stands valid until July 2027, and the lawsuit is currently ongoing.
