HYBE subsidiary label ADOR has signaled a fresh start, heightening anticipation surrounding a potential return by NewJeans.

On February 25, ADOR unveiled a new brand film that visualizes an expanded and more flexible future direction, while maintaining its signature creative philosophy, “All Doors One Room.” The video reflects the label’s evolving identity while staying true to its foundational vision.

The brand film opens with a man and woman arriving at what appears to be a laboratory. Inside, countless rooms await. The pair set out in search of four doors marked with the letters A, D, O, and R. Once they obtain keys and unlock the doors, a series of vivid scenes unfolds: people in whimsical mascot costumes enjoying a party, a researcher diving into an empty swimming pool to retrieve a key, and a mysterious blue horse that sparks curiosity.

ADOR’s distinct creative language stands out throughout the film. The label explained, “The four elements—Lab, Door, Key, and Human—symbolize our creative process. An idea (Key) passes through ADOR as a laboratory (Lab), opens the door (Door) to a new world, and ultimately reaches people (Human).”


They added, “As we always have, we will open new doors in our own rhythm. And when that moment comes, we will once again surprise the world.”

In addition to the brand film, ADOR also introduced new animations and short-form content reflecting its updated Brand Identity (BI). While retaining the familiar impression of its existing logo, the refreshed design offers greater flexibility. Rather than being fixed in a single form, the logo transforms in various ways depending on the nature of the content. It metaphorically embodies both musical melody and a tool that opens new worlds, underscoring the label’s scalability and creative expansion.

Founded in November 2021 under HYBE’s multi-label system, which emphasizes full creative independence and autonomy in the production process, ADOR is home to the chart-topping girl group NewJeans. The group has dominated domestic and international charts with each release and achieved syndrome-level popularity. Last year, the label further fueled excitement among global music fans by launching the 2025 ADOR BOYS GLOBAL AUDITION, signaling plans for a new boy group.
