The girl group NewJeans received attention after winning the Best Artist award at the 1st Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA) held at Inspire Arena in Unseo-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon, on November 16. The group took the stage to express their gratitude to those who shared the honor of the award with them, notably mentioning former ADOR CEO Min HeeJin, drawing attention.
In their acceptance speech, NewJeans expressed, “We were able to come this far thanks to everyone who loves and supports us,” conveying their appreciation. They added, “We are grateful to all the staff who always help us, CEO Min HeeJin, and the ‘Bunnies’ (fandom name) who came to cheer us on.”
Particularly, NewJeans showed special appreciation to former CEO Min HeeJin, expressing their desire to “continue working together in the future.” This statement garnered more attention due to the recent situation where NewJeans sent a content certification warning for contract termination to HYBE, requesting the return of former CEO Min HeeJin.
NewJeans has consistently demanded her return since Min stepped down from her position, urging ADOR and HYBE for responsible explanations and actions. In response, ADOR stated, “We will do our best to ensure continuous collaboration with the artists,” raising expectations for future developments.
NewJeans’ award and remarks have sparked considerable interest among fans and industry insiders, focusing attention on their future activities and HYBE’s response. There is anticipation about what NewJeans will showcase next and how their relationship with former CEO Min HeeJin will evolve.
