Source Music and Min Hee-jin, the former CEO of Ador, are set to continue their legal battle over a damages claim.
Seoul Western District Court will hold a hearing Friday afternoon in the 500 million won (about $327,000) lawsuit that Source Music filed against Min.
The case began in January 2025, and arguments had concluded, but the court unexpectedly reopened proceedings just before a ruling was expected in January. A hearing scheduled for May 15 was then postponed due to Source Music retaining new legal counsel and issues surrounding the attendance of Min's attorney, pushing the session to Friday.
Source Music filed the 500 million won lawsuit against Min in July 2024, taking issue with her claims that she personally scouted the NewJeans members and that Source Music had neglected them.
