ADOR Wins ₩1 Billion in 'ETA' Copyright Battle Against Dolphiners Films

  • NewJeans' label ADOR secured a significant court victory against Dolphiners Films in a copyright dispute over the 'ETA' music video.
  • The Seoul Central District Court ordered Dolphiners Films to pay ADOR 1 billion KRW (approx. 700,000 USD) in damages.
  • The dispute began when Dolphiners Films uploaded a director's cut of the 'ETA' music video without ADOR's prior consultation or approval.
  • The court rejected ADOR's separate 100 million KRW defamation lawsuit against director Shin Woo Seok.
  • This ruling adds to recent developments, including ADOR's termination of Danielle Marsh's contract from NewJeans.
