The exclusive contract dispute between Korean girl group "NewJeans" and their agency "ADOR" recently took a turn, with all five members successively expressing their intention to return. However, the question of "which member was absent from the representative meeting"—a focus of public attention—was revealed on the 17th, confirming that it was Hanni, who was overseas at the time.
According to Korean media reports, "ADOR" arranged for their representative Lee Do-kyung to meet with NewJeans members and their guardians on the 11th to discuss the prerequisites and related requirements for their comeback. However, Hanni was overseas and unable to return to Korea, so she could not participate. This has fueled discussion over the previous statement mentioning a "member in Antarctica"—with the agency confirming this actually referred to Hanni, and stating that a separate meeting will be arranged when she returns to Korea.
Currently, negotiations between the members and the company are ongoing, and once Hanni returns to Korea, the final meeting is expected to take place. The public is also watching to see if the NewJeans comeback schedule will be accelerated as a result.
