Secret K-pop contracts: the right to sleep has been crossed out, and you still can't say anything bad about the publisher, even if it's true

The K-pop group NewJeans has faced scrutiny over their contracts with Ador, which lack provisions for sleep and rest rights. The contracts also prohibit sharing damaging information and restrict personal freedoms, including romantic relationships. Despite South Korean government guidelines ensuring rights for young artists, these were omitted from NewJeans' agreements. The members underwent rigorous training before signing, with demanding schedules. Ador has the right to reclaim costs for members' cosmetic surgeries and to use their likenesses indefinitely. The group's future is uncertain, with ongoing legal disputes and a hiatus from performances.
