Recently, NewJeans’ Minji becomes the cover star for the January 2025 issue of fashion magazine Elle Korea. As the ambassador for Chanel Beauty, the female idol had a photoshoot with this luxury brand in London.
Recalling her first London trip for the photoshoot, Minji revealed that she saw the first snow of the year in London, adding that it was “a very special memory” to her.
Additionally, when asked about the thought that occupied her the most during Korea’s year-end award ceremony season, Minji answered, “I thought the most about not getting hurt. Sometimes my passion overflows, so I try to control it and focus on leading my performance to the stage.”
The female idol then expresses her deep affection for fellow group members, saying, “We were able to set many records as NewJeans because the members trust and rely on each other.”
Then, when inquired about her hope for 2025, Minji described NewJeans as a “fresh, solid, and complex” team, before adding, “Next year, I want to have a fun year with good music and performances.”
Finally, the female idol shared her love for fans by saying, “I love you all. And I hope you never forget that each and every one of you is precious.”
On the other hand, at a recent press conference, NewJeans recently announced their departure from their former agency, ADOR, citing contract termination due to the company’s failure to fulfill responsibilities cited in their contract. However, ADOR insisted that the contract was still valid and filed a lawsuit against NewJeans to prevent termination.
Currently, NewJeans is still in legal dispute with ADOR, and it is unclear whether they will be able to keep the group name. In fact, despite the group carrying out previously-arranged schedules as normal following the aforementioned press conference, they have not been officially using the group name, NewJeans, nor the group’s logo, as shown in their recent appearance at YOASOBI’s concert in Korea.
