NewJeans fans may have more reason to celebrate as rumors swirl that members Minji, Hanni, and Danielle could also return to ADOR following Haerin and Hyein’s recent comeback.
On November 12, ADOR told Newsen about the speculation, saying, “We are confirming the true intentions of the three members about their return.”
Earlier, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle shared with media outlets, “Recently, after careful discussion, we decided to return to ADOR.”
They added, “One member is currently in Antarctica, so the message was delayed, and since ADOR has not responded yet, we are sharing our position separately. We will continue to meet fans with sincere music and performances. Thank you.”
Before them, Haerin and Hyein announced on the same day that they will resume activities with ADOR. The agency confirmed, “After careful consideration with their families and full discussions with ADOR, the two members decided to respect the court’s ruling and comply with their exclusive contract.”
They added, “ADOR will do its best to support Haerin and Hyein in continuing their entertainment activities. We kindly ask fans to provide warm support and refrain from speculation about the members.”
This marks the official return of Haerin and Hyein as NewJeans members under ADOR after nearly a year. Previously, on November 29 last year, they held an emergency press conference with Minji, Hanni, and Danielle, claiming that trust with ADOR had broken and announcing the termination of their exclusive contracts.
In response, ADOR filed a lawsuit in January to confirm the validity of the contracts, maintain the planner’s position, and prevent the members from signing separate advertising deals. The court approved ADOR’s request in March.
In the main lawsuit, the Seoul Central District Court also ruled in favor of ADOR. On October 30, Civil Division 41 issued its first trial ruling, stating that there was no legal reason to terminate the exclusive contracts between ADOR and NewJeans members. The court also rejected all six claims made by the NewJeans side.
Fans are now eagerly watching to see if Minji, Hanni, and Danielle will officially return and join Haerin and Hyein in the next chapter of NewJeans’ journey.
