Is NewJeans Becoming A Trio? London Sighting Sparks Major Buzz

Will NewJeans might be continuing as a three-member group, if netizen reports are to be believed? Amid news of Min Hee Jin’s offer to HYBE gaining traction, a person on the internet spotted three of the girls in London, attending a musical play. Find out which members were at the play, why fans are excited, and what this means for the remaining NewJeans girls below!

NewJeans 3H Spotted In London, Here’s Everything We Know

According to a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), a Mandarin-speaking netizen came across three NewJeans members when they were watching Cabaret. The X user said they observed a very “beautiful girl”, who seemed like a celebrity. This incident occured as they sat at the Kit Kat Club within the Playhouse Theatre, London.

Apparently, they went up to the girl and recognised her as one of the NewJeans members, without identifying who it was. They said they also noticed security close by, and asked if they were in fact part of the ‘Attention’ group. Once confirmed, the internet user was able to pinpoint them as Hanni, Hyein, and Haerin.

This person also apparently spoke to Hyein in the washroom, who affirmed her identity as NewJeans. They wanted to show proof of their interaction. But, they couldn’t because photography was prohibited during the Cabaret showing.

Can you believe it? I ran into NewJeans at Cabaret in London today. (Kit Kat Club, Playhouse Theatre, London)

I went to see tonight’s performance, and when we sat down for the opening, I noticed a really beautiful girl. My sister and I kept discussing… https://t.co/4EX5zu39Nk pic.twitter.com/hJNEqkiILG

Why Did Hanni, Hyein, and Haerin’s Cabaret Attendance Go Viral?

This post slowly drew attention on X, especially since member Minji was notably absent. As per reports, she is still renegotiating her contract with ADOR (under HYBE). However, fans claim that the fact that the three were out without her is proof that she won’t continue with NewJeans. Other supporters also adored the bond in the group, saying how refreshing it was to see the members attending events. It is unclear if Hanni, Hyein, and Haerin’s appearance was an official event.

Meanwhile, fifth member Danielle Marsh has left the group and is being sued by HYBE. Min Hee Jin recently offered the corporation a large sum of money to stop all proceedings on either side. HYBE did not seem to agree immediately and further details are awaited.
