NewJeans’ Haerin turned 19 on May 15, but this year’s birthday came with a twist of emotions. In the middle of the ongoing legal battle between the group and their label, ADOR, Haerin took a moment to thank fans ( aka Bunnies) for their love. Taking to Instagram, she posted a heartfelt letter, giving love to fans for their handwritten notes and warm messages.
The emotional note hinted at the stress surrounding the group’s legal fight with ADOR and HYBE Labels. Haerin confessed she was almost too overwhelmed to write anything back, but still wanted to express her “big, vague” feelings. She told fans their support helped her through these “difficult times.”

Despite NewJeans’ rocky situation, Haerin praised fans for their effort with birthday cafes and sweet messages. She even dropped video messages to show how much it all meant. “I’m grateful to receive such huge support,” she said. Her bandmate, Minji, also thanked fans for the birthday love on May 9, expressing similar feelings due to the girl group’s current legal feud.
