NewJeans confesses heartbreak after suspension

NewJeans (NJZ), a group that has declared a hiatus, has spoken out about their feelings on recent events.

On June 26, BBC News Korea's YouTube channel released a video titled 'NewJeans, 'NJZ' suspends activities'. The video features interviews with members of NJZ as they discuss their feelings after the court decision.

Previously, NewJeans had announced the termination of their exclusive contract with agency ADORE in November last year and changed their name to NJZ to prepare for their independent activities. However, their independent activities were suspended on the 21st of this month when the court cited the preliminary injunction request filed by ADORE to "preserve the status of the agency and prohibit them from signing advertising contracts, etc."

"To be honest, we don't feel comfortable continuing to talk about it," Hani said in the video, adding, "We don't want to influence other teams, and we don't need to." "There are some people who look down on our choices because we're young," he added, "but we don't make any decisions unless all five of us agree."

Daniel says of the situation, "I tried to hide everything and kept my emotions bottled up. I was hoping it would go away quietly because I was preparing for a comeback, but I felt like it was going to explode," he said. "We just want to keep doing what we love, no lies, no distractions."

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to continue doing this," Hani said, adding, "It's a situation I really want to avoid."

NewJeans, meanwhile, officially announced its suspension on March 23 on stage at ComplexCon at the AsiaWorld Expo in Hong Kong, saying it had decided to "respect the court's judgment and temporarily suspend all activities." "This decision is our choice to protect ourselves," the members said at the time."
