Netizens Demand NJZ (NewJeans) Issue Apology To ILLIT And LE SSERAFIM
NewJeans is facing controversy ahead of their return to ADOR after a long legal battle.
The group is reportedly set to come back following disputes between them and HYBE. Leaked HYBE documents and statements from Min Hee Jin and Hanni dragged multiple groups into the drama.
Fans have started demanding apologies from NewJeans — specifically to fellow HYBE artists LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT. Many say it’s unfair for NewJeans to return like nothing happened.
Some international netizens spoke out on Twitter:
Feel bad for Le Sserafim and Illit who spent a year in hell over this only for those other five to come back like it’s nothing

Some fans place the blame squarely on Hanni for causing harm to other groups:
I have no anger toward hyein & haerin but I honestly hope hanni never steps foot in the hybe building again and stays far away from illit, le sserafim & bts. That girl is seriously dangerous, she created most of the dramas, so Ms. Hanni you better stay away from HYBE.

There’s also talk about how tense it might get between the groups in the HYBE building now:
imagine them meeting lesserafim and illit in the hallways of hybe building

ADOR is still “confirming [Minji, Danielle, and Hanni’s] intent” for NewJeans’ future. Even if they return, fans warn their comeback won’t be smooth or accepted by everyone.
