Chart-topping K-pop group NewJeans have said they are leaving their agency after accusing it of "mistreatment" and "manipulation".
The five-member girl band announced their departure from Ador, a subsidiary of powerhouse label Hybe, in a late-night press conference held on Thursday.
One of the group's member's Hanni alleged NewJeans had been shunned by the company.
The split is the latest development in a long-running conflict between former NewJeans producer Min Hee-Jin, and Hybe's chairman Bang Si-hyuk which has made headlines in South Korea.
