NewJeans Announces First Independent Broadcast Appearance

On December 24, KST, NewJeans members announced their first broadcast appearance since they declared their exclusive contracts with ADOR terminated through a press conference.

The group announced that they will appear on CBS Radio’s Kim Hyun Jung’s News Show on December 25, KST, independently. The announcement also prompted a response from ADOR, in which they confirmed that the members didn’t do any prior consultation with the agency about this appearance.

This appearance was decided by the artists independently and they proceeded without discussing it with the company. The company was not aware of the appearance in advance.

Notably, Kim Hyun Jung had already teased the group’s appearance during the closing segment of the last broadcast of his show. But instead of using the group name “NewJeans,” she mentioned the members by their real names.

The 2024 Christmas Special will be with Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Hyerin, and Hyein.

Meanwhile, NewJeans also reportedly tried to sign with luxury brands directly, raising eyebrows. You can read more about it here.
