Right now, NewJeans are the hottest new girl group in the K-pop business. The girl group from the sub-label ADOR of HYBE got a lot of attention for both how they looked and how well they could sing.

Not only that, but Min Hee Jin, who was in charge of making the girl group, got a lot of praise for making another top-tier girl group after working at SM Entertainment for a long time.

The girl group got a lot of attention again in November after they released the first set of preview photos for their first "Seasons Greetings" card for 2023. In the pictures, the girls can be seen having fun at a sleepover.

The first "Seasons Greetings" from NewJeans for 2023 is full of merchandise, content, and fun designs that fans are already loving. The girl group's calendar and planner come in different styles and give you a lot of options.

Again, the design of the album is being praised as a breath of fresh air in the music business. People are saying that the design is so cool and that each page has clean graphics and layouts. A lot of people are also impressed by the group's wide range of content.

Netizens commented:

"Wow, it looks like they hired people who really know what's cool these days. I'm so jealous!"

"Seriously, we should get rid of the old people and only choose people in their 20s and 30s."

"Really, they give me the impression that they know what's popular now."

"I like another group, but whenever I see them, I feel envious."

"Their Season's Greetings card is so f*cking pretty, I'm jealous."

"Even though I'm not a fan, I want this."

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
