NJZ (NewJeans) have announced they will be going on a temporary hiatus following the court’s ruling in favor of ADOR.
During NJZ’s performance at ComplexCon Hong Kong, the group performed their new song “PIT STOP” in front of thousands of fans. What was noticable during their entire set was that they did not refer to themselves by any group name — neither NewJeans nor NJZ.
The members also had individual stages, but what was most important was the speech they saved for the end, after their performances. They announced
It feels heavy to deliver this news. Today’s performance seems like it will be our last one for a while. We have decided to pause all activities for the time being in respect of the court’s verdict. It wasn’t an easy decision, but we believe it is a necessary one. We will be back, no matter what, after taking some time off to collect ourselves. We really want to greet you all with brighter smiles at that time.
To every Bunny who has been believing in us and supporting us through everything, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you, and we love you so so so so much. And we can’t express how grateful we are because no matter the circumstances, we will meet again soon.
We are always thankful and we love you. The five of us are always thinking of you. Please continue to stay healthy, eat your meals, and get enough sleep.
This has been Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein. Thank you.
— NJZ
Earlier, the court ruled in favor of ADOR in their lawsuit against NJZ regarding the status of their independent activities.
