Seoul: Chart-topping K-pop group NewJeans announced Thursday their decision to leave their label ADOR, accusing the company of "mistreatment".
The news comes two weeks after the girl group sent an ultimatum to ADOR's parent company HYBE -- behind K-pop sensation BTS -- telling the firm they would terminate their contract unless a set of demands was met.
"From midnight today, our contract will be terminated with ADOR," member Minji said at a press conference.
NewJeans made their debut in 2022 and the K-pop phenomenon is among HYBE's most successful groups.
Band member Hanni said Thursday the group has "faced mistreatment, not just towards us but also including our staff", without elaborating.
