They submitted five completed tracks.
ADOR reportedly submitted several demos to the Seoul Central District Court as evidence of their continued efforts to manage NJZ’s (NewJeans) career.
According to an exclusive report by The Korea Herald, ADOR submitted a list of completed demo tracks for NJZ’s next album. The list is believed to contain more than five songs in MR format, which means that the instrumental tracks were completed but contained no recorded vocals.
During a court trial last month, the presiding judges asked ADOR whether the list submitted by them included new songs, and the label’s legal representatives confirmed that it did. The submission was to demonstrate before the court that the label has been fulfilling its responsibilities pertaining to NJZ’s management even amid their ongoing legal conflict with the group.
On Thursday, October 30, ADOR released a press statement, confirming that their preparations for NJZ’s new album were already completed and they were waiting for the group to continue their activities. However, it is unclear which direction ADOR intends to take with NJZ’s sound. The new songs reportedly don’t have any contribution from Beasts And Natives Alike (BANA), the creative collective behind NJZ’s hit songs, “Attention,” “Hype Boy,” “OMG, and “Ditto.”
The lack of participation from BANA has sparked major backlash from fans who are skeptical about the quality of the music NJZ might be given by ADOR.
Another tiktok song produced by Bang Sihyuk and other 192746839 “song writers” with 293847839 remixes, shitty lyrics/dance, oversexualized outfits and an absurd collab? Hell nah, no thanks. Newjeans, your discography is flawless, don’t let that HYBE ruin it. PLEASE. https://t.co/a4dSdNIz1K pic.twitter.com/K4qSHC0pdh
