This is how NewJeans returns as a quartet following legal controversies with their company

NewJeans has officially announced their return after approximately two years away. At midnight KST on July 22, 2026, the group celebrated the fourth anniversary of their debut by releasing a series of “2026 Summer of NewJeans” films and photos. The teaser videos follow the members through different moments in their daily lives before they are brought together by magical encounters connected to bunnies. In the end, the four members reunite, possibly signaling the start of a new chapter. In that line, the new pictures and clips seem to confirm that NewJeans will continue as a four-member group.

The comeback also appears to confirm Minji’s return to ADOR. The group initially seemed to go on with a 3-member lineup, featuring Haerin, Hyein and Hanni. This seemed to be a viable option following Danielle’s removal from the group and the silence surrounding Minji’s status as a member of the group. Now, the newly released photos and videos show that Minji is back, signaling NewJeans’ return as a four-member act after a legal dispute with ADOR.

This anniversary celebration comes as NewJeans’ first group activity in approximately two years, making the announcement especially meaningful for fans who have been waiting for updates. While the teasers do not reveal details about new music or an official comeback date, they suggest that the quartet is preparing for a new era together. After a long period of legal battles, uncertainty, and Danielle’s removal, NewJeans appears to be ready for a new chapter.
