South Korean girl group NewJeans, once dubbed the "monster rookie," marked its fourth debut anniversary on Wednesday (Jul 22), with agency ADOR releasing a commemorative video that fueled speculation the group may soon resume activities.
Released on ADOR's official YouTube channel, the anniversary video notably featured Minji, whose return has yet to be finalized amid the group's ongoing contract dispute. She appeared first in the video, followed by Hanni, Hyein and Haerin. ADOR also shared a four-member group photo and individual images on its official Instagram account, further fueling speculation among fans, known as Bunnies, that the group could be preparing for a comeback.
