On May 31, ADOR’s CEO Min Hee Jin held her 2nd press conference at the Korea Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul.
Many reporters were curious to know her vision with NewJeans. In response, Min Hee Jin revealed her true plans with the five-piece girl group after their 7-year-long contract ends in the future.
