Summary
NewJeans’ new “2026 Summer of NewJeans” films and photos confirm Minji has rejoined Hanni, Haerin and Hyein for the group’s comeback after months of uncertainty.
April reports had described Minji’s return as still undecided, even as Hanni, Haerin and Hyein were already confirmed to be coming back.
Danielle is absent from the relaunch after ADOR terminated her contract during the legal dispute, leaving NewJeans to resume as a four-member group.
The reunion follows a long fight with ADOR: the group left the label in November 2024, rebranded as NJZ in February 2025, then paused after a March 2025 court block before ADOR prevailed in October 2025.
ADOR said three members traveled to Copenhagen in April 2026 with staff and filming equipment for preproduction, signaling the comeback had already moved into execution.
