South Korean composer and producer Yoon Il Sang has addressed the controversy surrounding girl group NewJeans, underscoring the importance of abiding by contracts in the entertainment industry.

Yoon shared his views in a video posted on his YouTube channel, where he was asked about the NewJeans situation known for advocating for artists' rights. He stressed the significance of respecting agreements once they are signed and cautioned against exposing artists to risks as a sign of genuine care.

Expressing concern for the NewJeans members, Yoon mentioned that he regretted seeing them in their current predicament and emphasized the need for responsible adult guidance in such situations rather than self-serving decision-making by those around them.

He highlighted the human-centric aspect of music production, stating that it revolves around people and relationships rather than just products. Yoon discussed the differences between large and small music companies and how each environment could impact an artist's career, reiterating that choices made during contract signings influence future outcomes.

Yoon criticized the handling of the situation by emphasizing the company's role in protecting artists from unnecessary public conflict and emotional burden. He questioned the purpose of the agency if artists end up managing legal battles and public defense on their own instead of focusing on their craft.

The ongoing legal dispute between NewJeans and ADOR involves an injunction filed by the agency to prevent the group from pursuing independent activities after attempting to terminate their contracts and work under the name 'NJZ.' Despite initial setbacks in court rulings, the members have appealed, with the next hearing scheduled for June 5.

The dispute stems from ADOR's argument that the contract termination lacks legal grounds, while NewJeans claims a breach of trust following changes in management justifies their actions.
