🔍 What Led to the Confusion
Over the past several weeks, reports circulated that the relationship between ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin and HYBE had reached a critical point. Contractual issues and management disagreements allegedly caused tensions that raised questions about whether NewJeans members would stay or leave.
During this time, fans noticed that three members — Minji, Hanni, and Danielle — were temporarily inactive in official updates. This sparked rumors across online communities like Naver, TheQoo, and Twitter (X).
ADOR’s latest confirmation helps clear the air and provides a sense of stability for both fans and the group’s operations.

💬 Industry Analysts Weigh In
Music industry observers say this development is crucial not just for NewJeans but for HYBE’s broader artist management structure.
NewJeans’ continued success with songs like “Super Shy” and “ETA” has positioned them as a major brand ambassador group for companies like Apple, Coca-Cola, and Levi’s.
“ADOR can’t afford to lose such high-value artists,” said one entertainment journalist.
“This return suggests both sides are finding common ground to keep the momentum going.”
With upcoming music award season events, many expect that NewJeans could resume public appearances before the year ends.
🧩 What’s Next for NewJeans
Although ADOR hasn’t released specific dates, sources suggest the agency is preparing a new digital campaign and possibly a mini-album repackage to reconnect the group with fans.
Meanwhile, brand partnerships and global collaborations — including rumored projects with Western producers — may continue as planned.
“Fans are eager for the group’s reunion stage,” said K-pop blogger Jiyoon Lee.
“Their synchronized charm and fresh energy are what make NewJeans irreplaceable.”
As for now, the most important message is that the team is slowly returning to normal operations, and members are back in communication with management.
