Korean girl group New Jeans, who announced that they would temporarily change their group name to "NJZ," gave an exclusive interview to the American weekly magazine TIME on the 22nd (local time) and candidly revealed their thoughts about the fact that the claims of their feuding entertainment production company ADOR were upheld in court, Korean media Sports Today and others reported.

Prior to this, ADOR had filed a petition for provisional injunction against New Jeans at the Seoul Central District Court to maintain the status of the agency and to prohibit them from entering into advertising contracts. On the 21st, MBC and other local media reported that the petition was accepted.

While the five members expressed disappointment at the court's decision, they also said they "don't expect the problems in the K-pop industry to change overnight."

"We are just at another stage in our journey compared to what we have experienced before," he said. "Maybe this is just the reality of South Korea. That's why we believe change and growth are necessary. It seems South Korea wants us to be revolutionaries."

Meanwhile, ADOR also stated their position to TIME magazine, saying, "It is unfortunate that the issue has escalated to the point of court action." "Once the members return, the misunderstanding will be properly resolved. Adore's goal is not to interfere with the artists' careers, but to allow them to continue working under their existing contracts."
