NewJeans member Haerin has returned to the public eye after about a year and a half away. On the 7th, she attended a brand photo-wall event at Lotte World Mall in Seoul’s Jamsil district.

It was Haerin’s first appearance at a public event since returning to ADOR, and her first official offline schedule in roughly 18 months. The appearance has prompted renewed interest in whether NewJeans could make a comeback.

The group announced in November 2024 that it would terminate its exclusive contract with ADOR and attempted to pursue activities independently. The move, however, led to a legal dispute.
