The court case that has rocked K-pop

NewJeans, whose members include Newcastle-born Danielle Marsh and Melbourne’s Hanni Pham, have been wrestling with South Korean hitmaking conglomerate Hybe in their attempt to be let go from its ADOR label.

The five members, known to fans as Danielle, Haerin, Hanni, Hyein and Minji, announced they were leaving the label and management arm in November.

The campaign for emancipation has been ongoing, with the members speaking out about their disturbing treatment via the infamous “training” system which turns out perfect K-pop stars.
