NewJeans made headlines today when it was announced that all 5 members would be returning to ADOR, with a full-group comeback likely in the future.
However, the group’s return has received mixed reactions from netizens – especially following the controversial court battle that the group has been embroiled in for the past year and a half. While some are excited for the possibility of a NewJeans comeback, others are expressing their anger towards the group and bringing up multiple of NewJeans’ past controversies.
The subject is currently one of the highest trending topics in Korea right now. Here’s what netizens have to say about NewJeans’ return to ADOR:
"Please apologize first to your fellow idols and staff who have been hurt by your actions"
"They should have to kneel in front of ILLIT, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT's manager, and apologize~ All HYBE idols and employees should wear body cameras, for fear of being evaluated every time they run into Hanni in the HYBE building"
"Oh well, what's the fuss? Just hurry up and release a new song with all five members. I'm tired of listening to their old songs"
"Look at how they're throwing away Min Hee Jin like a dog now, it's like they're trying to walk a tightrope ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They have no consistency. They said they couldn't do anything without Min Hee Jin, then they said they'd rather stop doing music forever than go back to ADOR. Now look at them ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
"Are they really betraying Min Hee Jin like this? LOL"
"It's amazing how they kept their pride strong until the end and made this 'announcement' without even an apology. They lost the trial and made a big fuss about appealing, but now they decided don't want to pay the penalty fee and have decided to go back. It's so annoying that they're being arrogant like this"
"It's like they snuck out and ran away from home, then came home and asked for food like nothing happened"
"Their lovely image is gone by now. They've already crossed the river of no return, why try to come back now? I hope everyone cancels them"
"Whether NewJeans comes back or not doesn't really matter to me, but it's funny to see how everyone's going crazy about it"
"As a regular person who neither likes nor dislikes NewJeans... I think this whole thing has been pretty tiring to the general public. So even if they have a comeback, I don't know if it will do that well, because everyone is tired of them now, and their image has been ruined at this point"
"They need to apologize properly for what they've done"
"In the end, LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and NewJeans have all lost momentum and failed because of this situation. It became a fight with no winners. While these three groups have been embroiled in controversy, groups like IVE, idle, aespa, and NMIXX have been rising and taking over the top spots"
"They need to apologize to the rookies ILLIT first. Especially Hanni, who went to the national assembly and made a fuss! Who do they think they are? Is Korea a joke to them?"
"I can't forget the look in Hanni's eyes as she glared at the ADOR CEO. I don't want NewJeans to come back, I hate seeing them"
"Oh good, the case is finally over. I'm looking forward to listening to their new music"
"They did all of that damage to ILLIT for nothing, in the end"
"Fans are excited for them to make new songs, but their music will never be as high quality as it was again, because Min Hee Jin is gone"
"What about the trust they said was broken?"
"I'm worried about the other HYBE employees and idols. They'll have to go to work everyday while keeping a close eye on NewJeans. What if NewJeans goes to the National Assembly and sues them again for not saying hello? ㅠㅠ"
"I wonder how much bullying these girls will do in the future"
