Private meetings and missing NewJeans members
NewJeans’ agency situation continues to cause intrigue among fans, and the latest update arrived on November 20, 2025, through SPOTV News. According to the report, Minji and Danielle each held individual meetings with HYBE’s ADOR to clarify their positions regarding their rejoining the agency as NewJeans. It has been reported that member Hanni has not yet taken part in a meeting due to her current stay in Antarctica, which has provoked more curiosity about her stance. These talks were arranged following HYBE’s ADOR announcement that only Hyein and Haerin had returned to the company, prompting the remaining members to express that they would also rejoin in a separate statement.

Contract rulings and public confusion
These meetings follow a major turning point in the members’ legal battle with HYBE’s ADOR. Haerin and Hyein announced their return to the agency shortly after losing the first trial of their exclusive contract lawsuit and deciding not to appeal. However, the company remained silent regarding the return of Minji, Hanni, and Danielle, causing confusion and intrigue among fans. Due to this, the three NewJeans members released their own statement through legal representatives, saying they too intended to return. The agency later expressed that they were verifying the intent behind the announcement and began arranging individual meetings to confirm the young girls’ intention to resume activities under the company.
NewJeans' Minji and Danielle reportedly held individually meetings with ADOR to discuss their postions. Hanni has not yet participated in an individual meeting.
The return of the three members is still unconfirmed.

A possible full NewJeans return?
During these private discussions, HYBE’s ADOR and the members reportedly exchanged views and talked through the conditions required for a proper comeback. Bunnies (that’s the name NewJeans fans have) are now waiting to see whether these meetings will lead to a full group reunion. The agency also asked the public to avoid speculation and to give the members space as they navigate this moment in their careers.
