Representatives from 5 major associations in South Korea's music industry gathered for a press conference at the JW Marriott Hotel in Seoul under the theme, "Let's Keep A Promise: Without Record Producers, There Is No K-Pop."

The event, hosted collectively by the Korea Management Federation (KMF), Korea Entertainment Producer's Association (KEPA), Record Label Industry Association of Korea (LIAK), Recording Industry Association of Korea (RIAK), and Korea Music Content Association (KMCA), aimed to address the ongoing legal dispute involving HYBE Labels/ADOR and girl group NJZ (NewJeans) and their producer, Min Hee Jin.

Choi Kwang Ho, the secretary-general of the Korea Music Content Association, emphasized the importance of maintaining promises for the sustainable growth of the music industry.
