Hey NewJeans fam — quick update on the Danielle lawsuit: ADOR tried to reschedule a preparatory hearing but the court refused the change, so the hearing will go ahead as originally scheduled on March 26 at 10:00 AM.
Court records show the date had briefly been moved to April 30, but that change was dismissed. This is a preparatory hearing — not the main trial — where both sides organize arguments, submit evidence, and sort out procedural issues before the case moves forward.
Recent filings show activity from both camps: Danielle’s team submitted a preparatory brief and a procedural opinion, ADOR filed the request to change the hearing date, and a third-party petition was also entered. There’s been no substantive ruling on the core issues yet; the case is still in its early stages.
Quick context for anyone catching up:
- In December 2025, ADOR terminated Danielle’s exclusive contract and filed a lawsuit seeking tens of millions in damages, naming Danielle, a family member, and Min Hee-jin.
- NewJeans debuted in 2022 under ADOR; Danielle is one of the group’s members.
- Preparatory hearings are early, procedural steps — they help define issues and evidence before any main trial takes place.
I’ll be watching for updates — mark March 26 on your calendars if you want to follow how this unfolds.
