[waves_of_light]

Oh man, I wonder what the punishment fee for terminating their contract is......

just let them go!!!!! Ador treats them like shit and plagiarises their style/marketting/campaign/everything to make expies of their own copycat groups anyway????

would any other company be willing to take them on after this mess. i doubt they could create their own agency if theyre minors right?

I think it’s unlikely that an already established agency would touch them with the likely legal battle this will turn into.

But it also doesn't sound like they want to be involved with any company where MHJ isn't in charge in some capacity. So i think it's more likely that MHJ will open her own company with financial backers

Oh yeh I forgot about MHJ.

I guess there are ppl would be crazy to back a company run by her 💀

What is the GP's opinion of NJ right now anyway. That will pretty much decide if they can be successful or not. Also whether HYBE will be able to block them like SM did to JYJ - altho I feel like that's less possible nowadays

I think the GP looks upon NJ positively at the moment. But regardless if it like takes 2 yesrs for this to settle i can only imagine that the GP will move on to the next hot thing by that time.

Idk if Hybe will be able to block these days in the way that SM was. Like i can only imagine if Hybe were to threaten something like "i will never let bts step foot into any of your properties again or be aired by you" that people could potentially bend in that way.
