On November 13 KST, Min Hee Jin issued a statement addressing NewJeans’ decision to return to ADOR following the court’s ruling.
She expressed her full support, saying, “The members’ decision came after much thought. I respect and admire their courage to unite and protect one another despite the hardships.”
Min Hee Jin added, “I can start over anytime, anywhere but NewJeans must remain as five. I hope they continue to grow stronger and stay happy.”
She also clarified, “The dispute between myself and HYBE Labels is separate from NewJeans. Though ongoing lawsuits have been difficult, I trust that the truth will come to light.”
Earlier, ADOR announced that Haerin and Hyein had chosen to resume activities with the label, while Minji, Hanni, and Danielle also expressed intentions to return — though ADOR noted that discussions with the three members are still ongoing.

After a year since announcing their contract termination, all five members of NewJeans are reportedly set to return to ADOR. Following Haerin and Hyein, members Minji, Hanni, and Danielle have now expressed their intention to resume activities under the label.
On November 12, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle told Yonhap News, “After careful discussions, we have decided to return to ADOR. One member is currently in Antarctica, which caused a delay in communication. Since we have not yet received a response from ADOR, we are announcing this separately. We will continue to meet our fans through sincere music and performances.”
ADOR responded, “We are confirming the sincerity of the members’ intention to return.”
Earlier, the label confirmed that Haerin and Hyein would continue activities with ADOR, respecting the court’s ruling that upheld their exclusive contracts.
NewJeans had previously requested the reinstatement of former CEO Min Hee Jin, whose dismissal amid disputes with HYBE led to their contract termination last year. ADOR maintained that the contracts remained valid and filed a lawsuit, with the court ruling in the agency’s favor.
ADOR has reportedly been preparing for the group’s comeback, even submitting a list of new songs to the court.
Team Bunnies, part of NewJeans’ music production team, also issued a statement expressing full support for the members’ decision to stay with ADOR and continue their activities together.
“Hello, this is Team Bunnies.
Following the first court ruling confirming the validity of the exclusive contracts, NewJeans members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein have decided to maintain their exclusive contracts with ADOR and resume their activities under the company.
Team Bunnies respects the members’ decisions in any situation and will continue to support and stand by the five NewJeans members with unwavering hearts.
Since July 2023, Team Bunnies has been an independent, one-person team that has supported NewJeans as part of the music production team in the design field. As direct resolution of certain matters was difficult, we have proceeded with the help of external Bunnies volunteers. We sincerely apologize for any shortcomings caused by operating as a one-person team and wish to clarify once again that there are no connections with any company executives, employees, or related personnel.
Following this decision, Team Bunnies will continue to fulfill its original role as part of the NewJeans music production team, just as before.
