NewJeans members Haerin and Hyein announced that they will officially be returning to ADOR. This is a significant development in the situation following the court’s verdict that upheld ADOR’s exclusive contract with the group. Last year, all members of NewJeans announced their departure from the label after alleging mistreatment. Read on to know more.
NewJeans’ Haerin And Hyein Announce Return To ADOR
On November 12, ADOR released a statement announcing that two members of NewJeans, Hyein and Haerin, will be returning to the company. They wrote that after careful consideration and thorough discussions with their families, the two members have decided to respect the court’s ruling and uphold their exclusive contracts.
The company also added that it will do its utmost to support the two artists in their future activities. They concluded the message by asking for the fans’ warm support and urged everyone to refrain from making unfounded speculations about the members.
Haerin and Hyein’s return to ADOR marks a monumental development in the situation. Fans are shocked by their decision, as the group’s legal team had said that they will not be returning to the company under any circumstances. Netizens are now speculating if this decision was made unanimously or if the two members turned against their bandmates, Danielle, Minji and Hani and their creative director, Min Hee Jin.
However, some internet users were predicting the girls’ return to ADOR since NewJeans were yet to appeal the court’s recent judgment, which favoured ADOR and declared their contract with NewJeans to be valid till 2029.
Neither Min Hee Jin nor the other three members of NewJeans have released a statement regarding this matter.

A lawsuit about the validity of their exclusive contract was then filed, with ADOR winning the case on 29 October.
