NewJeans’ Haerin greeted fans and expressed her gratitude for their birthday wishes.
On May 15th, Haerin posted several photos and videos on NewJeans’ new SNS account, including proof shots of her birthday events and selfies. In the video, she said, “Hello, Bunnies~. It’s been a while. I’m making a short video because so many people have supported and congratulated me as my birthday approaches.”
She continued, “I’m also grateful to receive so much support on my birthday during these times. I hope everyone has a good day today.” She added, “I’m sincerely grateful to all the Bunnies who prepared birthday cafes, billboards, and supported me with their hearts. I hope you all have a good day too. I’ll have a good day as well.” She also said, “The birthday cafes are really pretty and cute. Thank you.”
Notably, Haerin wore a blue hat similar to the one former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin wore during her emergency press conference, and her outfit resembled Min Hee-jin’s style, drawing attention.
Haerin also posted photos of the birthday billboards prepared by fans and selfies taken during her activities, showcasing stage makeup. Meanwhile, all five members of NewJeans declared the termination of their exclusive contracts with their agency, ADOR, last year and have been pursuing independent activities. They even performed on overseas stages under a new team name, “NJZ.”
However, on March 21st, the court ruled in favor of ADOR’s application for a preliminary injunction to prevent the members from terminating their contracts and engaging in activities that would undermine ADOR’s position. The court stated, “The reasons raised by the NewJeans members are not sufficient to justify the termination of the contract.”
However, the NewJeans members filed an objection on the same day. On April 16th, the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court (presiding judge Kim Sang-hoon) dismissed the objection filed by the five NewJeans members regarding the preliminary injunction to preserve ADOR’s agency status and prevent the conclusion of advertising contracts.
