NewJeans Minji's recent status has been revealed, drawing attention to whether she will return to the team. On the 7th, NewJeans's official social media account posted a photo showing a person presumed to be Minji making and packaging cookies, accompanied by the phrase "Happy Minji Day." The post commemorated Minji's birthday, and it is known that Minji personally made the cookies and gifted them to fans.

Recently, Minji visited a birthday café prepared by fans and personally delivered a handwritten letter, cookies, and four-cut photos, expressing her gratitude to the fans. The handwritten letter included the message, "Bunnies, it's been a long time. How have you all been? I have so much I want to say to Bunnies, but surely the opportunity will come. Always stay healthy, happy, and don't get sick."

NewJeans officially suspended activities after member Daniel terminated his exclusive contract in December last year. In 2024, after conflicts with ADOR, all members notified the termination of their exclusive contracts but lost the first trial of the lawsuit confirming the validity of the contracts. Subsequently, Haerin and Hyelin officially confirmed their return, and Hani announced her comeback. Daniel faced a lawsuit demanding approximately 43 billion KRW in penalty damages and compensation following his contract termination.

There has been no specific stance on Minji's return so far, but the recent official SNS post has refocused attention on her status. ADOR stated, "We are continuing conversations to broaden mutual understanding with Minji," maintaining a cautious position. They also added, "Please understand that negotiations are generally progressing in a positive direction."

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Hani, Haerin, and Hyelin visited Copenhagen, Denmark, and ADOR explained, "The visit to Copenhagen was part of the pre-production process to capture NewJeans's new musical narrative." NewJeans's official SNS has been reactivated starting with Hyelin's birthday content.
