NewJeans shocked fans this morning by launching their official new social media account 'jeanzforfree.' The group quickly uploaded a video of the five members greeting their fans and saying, 'It's really us.' The account has already reached over 1 million followers in the short amount of time it's been up.
The matter of whether or not NewJeans will be able to keep their group name as 'NewJeans' amid their ongoing legal dispute with ADOR has been widely speculated on for weeks now. With the group's new social media account, many fans are now wondering about whether NewJeans actually plans to change their group name to 'Jeanz,' as suggested by their new account name.
Some fans have brought forward their theories to support the name change:
Meanwhile, netizens are reacting with excitement to the possible new name 'Jeanz':
"Jeanz really is a good name"
"Wow, this is amazing"
"Personally, I think 'Jeanz' is a much prettier name than 'NewJeans'"
"It's such a cute name"
"As soon as I saw it, I thought of Gen Z!"
"Wow, I was a bit worried about them, but it looks like they're doing well"
"Oh, this is a much better name"
"It's stylish and pretty"
"Any name is fine, just come back already!"
Some netizens are observing that the Korean pronunciation of 'Jeanz' would be very similar to 'jinju,' which means 'pearl.'
