NJZ announces hiatus following their legal battle with ADOR, agency responds
On March 21, NJZ and their agency, ADOR, had their first court hearing regarding the lawsuit the agency had filed against the group members for unilaterally departing from ADOR and taking part in independent activities. They pushed for the group's contract validity under ADOR, and the court ruled in favor of the agency, allowing them authority to restrict NJZ's independent activities.
The group announced their departure from ADOR back in November 2024 through an emergency press conference due to the agency's failure to meet their demands. The members also spoke up about the alleged harrassment and mistreatment at the hands of the agency's representatives. Between November and March, they announced their first independent activitity.
The group was scheduled to perform at the ComplexCon Music Festival in Hong Kong on March 23, and following the court ruling, the members rolled out their last independent activity without the supervision of ADOR, under the name of NJZ. During their performance at the music festival, the members revealed that they will be going on a hiatus. Here's what they stated:
"This stage means so much to us and every single one of you who gives us strength just by being here... this might be our last performance for a little while. Out of respect for the court’s decision, we’ve decided to pause all our activities for now. It wasn’t an easy decision, but we believe this is something we need to do at this moment."
However, soon after the announcement, ADOR released a statement expressing that their hiatus was not discussed with the agency and also requested the members to meet and speak with ADOR to plan their future activities and related details.
