NewJeans fans, affectionately known as Bunnies, have made a bold statement by dispatching protest trucks to the headquarters of HYBE, the parent company of NewJeans' management agency, ADOR.

On May 8, social media erupted with news of the arrival of protest trucks at HYBE, garnering significant attention online.

Photos of multiple trucks parked outside HYBE's premises circulated widely, illustrating the determination of NewJeans fans to voice their support for the group and their loyalty to ADOR.

The message conveyed by the fans was crystal clear: their allegiance lies with NewJeans and ADOR, not HYBE.

This demonstration follows previous controversies where fans expressed skepticism over trucks purportedly endorsing HYBE, suspecting the involvement of the company itself in orchestrating those displays of support.

The protest trucks serve as a visible manifestation of the unwavering dedication of NewJeans' fandom, highlighting their commitment to standing by the group and their chosen management agency amidst ongoing discussions and developments within the K-pop industry.

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.
