After ADOR officially announced that all five members of NewJeans will return to the agency, netizens around the world shared mixed reactions — with some celebrating the group’s reunion, while others called for an apology before any comeback activities begin.
On November 12, ADOR confirmed that NewJeans would continue as a full group under the label, marking their long-awaited return after months of controversy.
Many netizens expressed relief online, saying things like, “I’m so happy to see NewJeans again,” and “It’s great that we’ll finally hear their new songs.”
Others shared, “I just want to see all five of them together,” showing their excitement for the group’s complete comeback.
International netizens also joined the celebration, posting messages like “NEWJEANS IS FIVE!!!” and “The hitmakers are back!” across social media. One fan shared, “I’m happy they’re together again. They can do anything as long as they stay united.”
However, not everyone welcomed the news with open arms. Some netizens voiced frustration over the group’s past actions during the conflict between ADOR and HYBE, insisting that a sincere apology should come before moving forward.
Comments on community forums read, “Shouldn’t they apologize to ADOR first?” and “Other HYBE artists were unfairly attacked for a year.”
International netizens also echoed similar thoughts. One user said, “You can’t act like nothing happened. That press conference caused so much hate toward other HYBE groups. They should apologize to every idol in that building.” Others added, “They announced their contract termination live — maybe they should apologize live too.”
Despite the criticism, excitement for NewJeans’ next chapter remains high. netizens commented, “Does this mean we can hear Hype Boy again soon?” and “I’m already excited for their comeback!”
Many also shared their hopes for the group’s future, saying, “I’ll be waiting for their new album and performances,” and “I’m curious to see how they’ll move forward without Min Hee Jin’s direction.”
As anticipation grows, NewJeans’ return as a full group has sparked both relief and debate — proving once again how powerful their presence remains in the K-pop scene.
