After Haerin and Hyein, NewJeans’ Minji, Hanni and Danielle also confirm return to ADOR: ‘Will show our sincere music’
HYBE label ADOR has confirmed its exclusive contract with the members of NewJeans, and the quintet has decided to come back to the company.
NewJeans reunites! All members, including Minji, Hanni, and Danielle, have confirmed their return to ADOR as of November 12, 2025, deciding to respect the recent ruling related to their exclusive contracts. This news comes about an hour after it was announced that Haerin and Hyein will be returning to their label after careful consideration and discussions with their family, as well as the company. Meanwhile, the label has responded that they’re still checking about the three’s possible return.
All five NewJeans lock return to ADOR
According to a Yonhap News report, the three also confirmed their return to ADOR shortly after the news regarding Haerin and Hyein. Here’s what they said, “Hello, this is Minji, Hanni, and Danielle. Recently, after careful consideration, we have decided to return to ADOR. One of the members is currently in Antarctica, so the announcement of our position was delayed, but since ADOR has not responded to us, we have been forced to share our decision separately. We will continue to show you our sincere music and performances. Thank you.”
The statement was found to be odd by many, especially considering the continued severed communication between some of the members and the label. Later, the management shared an update on the trio’s statement and shared another vague response.
“We are currently looking into the real intentions of the three members’ statement to return,” shared ADOR with Sports Ilgan after learning about Minji, Danielle, and Hanni’s decision.
It is reported by NewDaily that it was Hyein’s father who convinced Haerin’s family to let her join back. He was previously rumored to have opposed terminating the group’s contract with ADOR and then convinced his own daughter, as well as her fellow NewJeans member, to return. An alleged custody battle also began between Hyein’s mother and father over her removal from the label amid NewJeans’ dispute with HYBE.
