NewJeans, the popular K-pop group, is facing a plagiarism lawsuit related to their upcoming track, 'How Sweet.' Four songwriters, Audrey Armacost, Aidan Rodriguez, Adam Gokcebay, and Michael Campanelli, allege that their unreleased demo, 'One of a Kind,' was copied in the song's first verse. They claim they were invited to submit music for NewJeans and later informed that their demo was not selected. Following the release of 'How Sweet,' they noticed striking similarities and are now seeking official songwriting credits and a share of the song's royalties. This lawsuit adds to the ongoing legal struggles for NewJeans, which have been under scrutiny due to disputes with their agency, ADOR, and parent company HYBE. A court ruling in October 2022 upheld the validity of exclusive contracts between ADOR and the group members, leading to some members, including Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni, resuming their activities under the label. However, uncertainty remains for other members, with reports indicating that Danielle's contract has been terminated and discussions about Minji's future are still ongoing.
