In response, Adore quickly issued a statement expressing regret over the press conference, stating, We find it unfortunate that the press conference was planned and conducted without sufficient review, even before receiving a response to the notice of correction.

As a contractual party, Adore has not breached the contract with Nugent's, and the claim of unilateral loss of trust does not constitute valid grounds for termination.

Adore further asserted, The exclusive contract between Adore and the members of Nugent's remains valid.

We hope that all future activities will continue as they have until now.

In collaboration with ADOR previously, on November 14th, Adore responded to Nugent's letter of demand, stating, We received the notice of certification from Nugent's this morning and are currently reviewing it to understand the specific requests.

We will do our utmost to address these matters wisely and continue to work closely with our artists.

In response to inquiries about rumors of an investment by a listed company, referred to as Company D, or Dabiolink, in Nugent's and MinHeeJin, Adore added, MinHeeJin has reaffirmed that the rumors regarding any meetings with this company or involvement of Nugent's members' relatives are entirely groundless.

Previously on November 13th, Nugent sent Adore a notice demanding correction of alleged contract breaches, warning they would terminate the contract if issues weren't resolved within 14 days.

Their requests included an apology from a manager for disrespectful remarks toward Hani, removal of unauthorized photos and videos, an investigation into damages from alleged album pushouts, and resolution of a dispute with music video director Shin Woo-Seok.
