In other news, the launch of these Funko POPs arrives at a critical moment for the quintet, as they navigate a period of change following their legal battle with ADOR, their former label.

The group, known for their relatable ‘girl next door’ image, cited dissatisfaction with management after Min Hee-jin, their former producer and ADOR’s CEO, stepped down.

Despite ADOR contesting the premature termination, the members hinted at a rebranding under the name “Jeanz,” launching new social media accounts to signal their next steps as independent artists.

Allegations of workplace mistreatment and dissatisfaction with the new leadership followed their demand for Min Hee-jin’s reinstatement, which was denied by the label.

While NewJeans continues to fulfill pending commitments, such as performances and award shows, their future remains uncertain due to potential financial risks. It includes contract breach penalties, and possible legal complications over the use of the “NewJeans” name if they proceed independently.
