NewJeans member Minji conveyed a long message to fans containing her resolutions on her birthday.
On the 7th, Minji left a lengthy post on the SNS account they independently opened and greeted her fans.
She noted, "It seems like I'm busier than I thought. When I came to my senses, it was already May and it was my birthday. Time really flies," and she remarked, "I have a lot to say, but my thoughts seem to be a bit cluttered.
She continued, "I just want my members and Bunnies to be happy. I can say that my biggest goal in life is happiness. I think it might seem foolish to only focus on my own happiness while pursuing what I love. However, I wish for my today and tomorrow to be happy. The same goes for Bunnies’ day. Isn’t it too harsh to abandon current happiness for the happiness that may or may not come in the future? It's a future that may not even come, after all," she shared her thoughts.
She added, "I really miss the times when we shared our feelings while enjoying good music together, but I'm always looking forward to the future! We are not stopping here and we won’t. We might seem to be stagnant, but I believe we are definitely becoming deeper. I hope that today with Bunnies and tomorrow together, we all find happiness."
Meanwhile, NewJeans has notified ADOR of an unilateral contract termination and launched independent activities under 'NJZ.' In this context, on March, the Seoul Central District Court's Civil Division 50, led by Chief Judge Kim Sang-hoon, accepted ADOR's request for an injunction against NewJeans' five members, stating 'preventing company status preservation and advertising contract signing,' and the members have already appealed.
Separately, NewJeans is continuing a dispute with ADOR over the exclusive contract. ADOR maintains that the exclusive contract, signed in April 2022, remains in effect as there was insufficient procedural and substantive grounds when NewJeans notified an unilateral termination. On the other hand, NewJeans claims that the termination notice is valid due to the breakdown of trust following the ousting of former CEO Min Hee-jin, who successfully operated ADOR. During the first court hearing, the judge stated, "The breakdown of a trust relationship typically occurs when there is a failure to settle accounts or similar cases, but (this case is) unusual, and I will contemplate how to view the trust relationship in long-term contract management and producing." The second court hearing of the lawsuit between NewJeans and ADOR is scheduled for June 5.
Below is the full message from NewJeans' Minji.
Hello Bunnies! I missed you! I wonder what everyone has been doing lately~ It seems like I'm busier than I thought. When I came to my senses, it was already May and it was my birthday?!?! Time really flies.
I have a lot to say, but my thoughts seem to be a bit cluttered. I just want my members and Bunnies to be happy. I can say that my biggest goal in life is happiness.
I think it might seem foolish to only focus on my own happiness while pursuing what I love. However, I hope my today and tomorrow are happy. The same goes for Bunnies’ day. Isn’t it too harsh to abandon current happiness for the happiness that may or may not come in the future? It's a future that may not even come, after all.
I really miss the times when we shared our feelings while enjoying good music together, but I'm always looking forward to the future! We are not stopping here and we won’t! We might seem to be stagnant, but I believe we are definitely becoming deeper. I hope that today with Bunnies and tomorrow together, we all find happiness.
In this limited time, our meeting feels more precious now.
