Minji of NewJeans shared a message with her fans following the group's contract termination with ADOR. On December 22, 2024, she posted a note of gratitude on the Instagram Story of the girl group's new account @jeanzforfree.
On November 28, 2024, NewJeans held an emergency press conference to announce the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR. The decision was made due to conflicts with ADOR and HYBE, even though the group still had five years remaining on their contracts.
Although the group continues to perform together, the contract termination has been a significant event for the members. Minji was the first to publicly address the situation, sharing her thoughts directly with the fans.

While she wrote an entire paragraph expressing all her feelings, she questionably hid one emotional sentence randomly in the photo. However, the eagle-eyed fans soon spotted this and revealed it to the other fans.
This statement read:
"I’ll cry later when I can feel at ease."
NewJeans' Minji openly addresses her feelings about the group's recent contract termination
The members of NewJeans launched a new social media group account on December 14, 2024, separate from the one previously managed by ADOR. Through the new Instagram account @jeanzforfree, member Minji shared a note with fans, accompanied by an image of the blue sky and an empty stadium. She wrote:
“Thank you so much to the Bunnies (NewJeans’ fans) who stayed strong and cheered for us until the end, even though today’s recording was long and the weather was cold.”
Expressing her deep gratitude, she added:
“Performances with Bunnies are always memorable, but today feels like something I’ll remember for a long time. Thank you, as always. You’re all so cute and kind.”
Fans were moved by her emotional words, reflecting on the challenges the young group must be facing. The message was shared following the group's recording for the MBC Gayo Daejejeon, a likely bittersweet moment for the girl group.
Shortly after, another member, Haerin also posted a message on Instagram Story along with a photo of herself, saying:
“Thank you Bunnies for your support throughout the day. Those who couldn’t meet us today, let’s meet the next time.”
Fans were touched by the fact that these members took the opportunity to be considerate towards their fans despite their own ongoing struggles.
NewJeans announced the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR during an emergency press conference on November 28, 2024. The decision stemmed from ADOR's failure to meet the group's demands, coupled with allegations of a breach of duty and the removal of Min Hee-jin as CEO. Min Hee-jin had played a pivotal role as the group's producer and manager.
