NewJeans has submitted an appeal challenging the court's injunction that banned their operations. The law firm Sejong, representing NewJeans, issued a statement on April 16 confirming that the court maintained the original decision, prompting an immediate appeal submission. They expressed commitment to engaging in the legal process diligently for a fair disclosure of facts.

In response to ADOR's successful injunction request against NewJeans on March 21, which aimed to uphold the agency's authority and prevent NewJeans from pursuing independent activities like advertising deals, the court upheld its decision despite the appeal.

South Korean internet users continue to express apprehension about NewJeans' future and dissatisfaction with the group's actions. They emphasized concerns over the group's reactions, legal strategies, and potential consequences, discussing the challenges they face and questioning their decisions.

Additionally, there was commentary on the involvement of the Sejong law firm, speculation on the girls' financial situations, and the possible outcomes of the legal dispute. Overall, the sentiment conveyed a mixture of disappointment, skepticism, and concern for the members of NewJeans and their legal battle with ADOR.
