Group Newzins expressed their feelings about changing the team name to NJZ.
New Jeans members Minji, Hani, Daniel, Harin, and Hyein released photos with the new team name NJZ on their newly opened SNS on the 7th. Immediately after the announcement of the team name, the SNS account was also renamed from “jeanzforfree” to “njz_official.”
At the same time, CNN’s exclusive interviews with members of the Newzins were released on the 6th (local time). Regarding the reason for the group name change, the members said, “It’s a way to change the difficult times more interesting,” adding, “We’re making a lot of effort to solve everything and return to normal.” In addition, he said, “I don’t want the legal dispute with ADOR to be the focus of our career.”
“We have completely lost confidence in Dorr,” Daniel said of his dispute with Ador, “and we believe we will win the battle with Hive, Ador.”
Newzins, which announced the termination of its exclusive contract with Adore in November last year, had conspired for a new name of activity through SNS. In response, the members explained, “As a result of carefully considering the opinions of the fans, we chose the name NJZ, which maintains the essence of the existing name.”
Hani said, “We leave the previous group name (Newzins) behind for a while, but we haven’t completely abandoned it. “Newzins’ performance period was a special time for us and our fans, and we will cherish it in the future,” he said.
NZZ’s first move is the Greater China Festival “Complex Con,” which will be held in Hong Kong in March. In response, Hani said, “We are going to release a new song at this event,” adding, “It will be a very unique sound.” Harin was confident that “the new song will have a very unique and different sound,” and Hani expressed confidence, saying, “There is nothing to stop us anymore.”
The photo released along with the release of the team name was far from the existing New Jeans style. In response, Hani explained, “It will be completely different from before,” adding, “We will pursue a sharper and more intense style away from the existing image of the ‘girl next door.’
Meanwhile, Newzins announced the appearance of Complex Live, a side event concert of ComplexCon, a global street fashion and culture festival to be held at the Asia World Expo in Hong Kong from the 21st to the 23rd of next month.
