ADOR Takes Stronger Stance on Rights Violations
ADOR has announced intensified legal action against individuals who violate NewJeans' rights through malicious online content. The agency revealed its commitment to protecting the girl group from various forms of digital harassment and rights infringement.
Expanded Monitoring and Legal Response
In a statement released on January 17th, the agency confirmed it has been consistently monitoring domestic and international platforms since the group's debut. This includes tracking online communities, music streaming services, and social media channels to identify and address violations.
The company emphasized that it responds firmly to overseas-based websites without exception, ensuring comprehensive protection regardless of geographical boundaries. As violations have intensified recently, ADOR has deployed additional staff members specifically dedicated to collecting evidence of malicious activities.
Types of Violations Being Addressed
ADOR outlined several categories of rights infringements it plans to pursue through criminal complaints, including:
- Malicious fake news and misinformation
- Privacy invasion
- Abusive language
- Derogatory remarks
The agency stated it will file irregular supplementary complaints as evidence collection continues, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to legal action.
Zero Tolerance for Deepfake Content
ADOR expressed an especially strict position regarding deepfake crimes targeting NewJeans members. The agency revealed that perpetrators recently attempted to negotiate settlements, which were firmly rejected. Instead, ADOR has communicated to investigative authorities its desire for severe punishment in these cases.
The company confirmed it is actively collaborating with law enforcement agencies to completely eliminate deepfake crimes affecting its artists.
Recent Group Developments
This announcement follows recent updates regarding NewJeans' future activities. On January 12th, ADOR confirmed that members Haerin and Hyein had agreed to honor their exclusive contracts and continue working with the agency.
