SEOUL: Chart-topping K-pop group NewJeans announced Thursday (Nov 28) their decision to leave their label ADOR, accusing the company of "mistreatment".

The news comes two weeks after the girl group sent an ultimatum to ADOR parent company HYBE -- behind K-pop sensation BTS -- telling the firm they would terminate their contract unless a set of demands was met.
