On May 30, the <strong>Seoul Central District Court<\/strong> ruled that NewJeans would have to pay a billion KRW fine if they ever pursued any solo or group activities without HYBE\u2019s approval. However, their legal team called the ruling \u201ctemporary\u201d until a final ruling is made in the courtroom.
