Agency confirms overseas trip but says it is too early to discuss the group’s official return
Speculation surrounding a potential **NewJeans comeback** has intensified following sightings of members Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni with staff at a retail outlet in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Their agency, **Ador**, officially confirmed the overseas trip on Wednesday but declined to disclose further details regarding its purpose.
“It is true that **NewJeans members** visited Copenhagen, Denmark, accompanied by staff,” **Ador** stated. “We request your understanding that confirming specific schedules or whether filming is currently underway remains challenging.”
Photos, circulated alongside eyewitness accounts, depicted the **K-pop group members** walking through the city streets with staff and appearing near what seemed to be filming equipment, further fueling expectations of an imminent **NewJeans return**.
Given the apparent presence of a production crew, the visit strongly suggests an official **group-related schedule** for **NewJeans**, rather than a personal leisure trip.
However, it remains premature to definitively interpret this sighting as a clear signal of a confirmed **NewJeans comeback**.
While **NewJeans members** Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni have reportedly reached an agreement to return to **Ador**, the status of **Minji’s return** is yet to be officially confirmed.
**Ador** has also terminated its contract with **Danielle** and initiated a substantial damages lawsuit against her and her family, reportedly seeking 43.1 billion won ($29.25 million).
The continued uncertainty surrounding **Minji’s involvement**, in particular, raises significant questions about the immediate feasibility of a **full-group NewJeans comeback**.
**NewJeans** has been embroiled in a complex contract dispute with **Ador** since late 2024. Although the **K-pop group** announced a return following a first-instance court ruling that affirmed the validity of their exclusive contracts, **Ador** had previously stated that prior agreements with *all* members had not been finalized, initially confirming only the returns of **Haerin and Hyein**.
Subsequent negotiations led to **Hanni’s return**, but an official update regarding **Minji’s current status** is still pending.
