Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein are spotted in London
In February 2026, three NewJeans members were seen in London, drawing attention from fans. Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein reportedly attended a performance of the musical Cabaret in the West End. According to a fan present at the venue, the three KPop artists were seated near the stage with security. The fan later shared online that she greeted Hyein during intermission, and the idol confirmed she was a member of NewJeans. Due to the theater’s no photography policy, no pictures were taken, but the supposed encounter quickly spread across social media.
Leaked rehearsal footage intensifies speculation about a trio comeback
Rumors spread after a leaked CCTV image appeared to show the three NewJeans members rehearsing together in a London dance studio. The unnamed studio stated that it was not responsible for the footage’s leak and that it was shared without authorization. This has sparked controversy among fans on social media, with many considering the leak a serious privacy breach.
In addition, some other fans began referring to the trio as “3H,” combining the initials of Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein. Their joint appearances have led to speculation about future activities as a three-member group, following the legal controversies the group has faced over the past two years.
Legal developments from October 2025 continue to shape the group’s path
The situation follows a legal ruling in October 2025 that confirmed HYBE’s ADOR exclusive contracts with all five members after almost two years of legal battles to exit the company. However, Haerin and Hyein expressed their intention to continue activities with the agency, and Hanni later joined them. Minji’s status remains unclear, although ADOR previously stated that conversations were still ongoing. Meanwhile, Danielle was removed from NewJeans after ADOR claimed she had violated her contract. The company also sued her, a family member, and the former CEO of ADOR, Min Hee Jin, for about 30 million dollars.
