The board of NewJeans agency ADOR voted to extend Min Hee-jin's term as board member for the next three years in line with its statement last month.

The K-pop agency held a board meeting on Thursday and voted to extend Min's term, which was set to finish on Nov. 1 without extension. No other items were discussed during the meeting, according to media reports.


ADOR, in an attempt to compromise with Min, said on Sept. 25 that it would extend Min's term as a board member but wouldn't reinstate her as CEO, despite her demand to return as the agency's head.

A local court held a hearing on Oct. 11 regarding an injunction filed by Min for reinstatement as CEO. The court will accept additional data until Oct. 25 and make a ruling by the end of the month, the judge said.
