Hyein and Haerin of NewJeans were seen together in the United States on June 27 accompanied by individuals resembling ADOR staff. The sighting has prompted online discussion among fans regarding the absence of other members and the group's ongoing situation.
According to reports, the two members were captured in candid video clips interacting in a public space. Hanni, who along with Hyein and Haerin had been confirmed to return to ADOR, was not present in the footage.
Fans expressed concerns about the lack of updates on Minji and questioned the timing of the videos, which coincided with upcoming court proceedings. Some speculated that the clips could be part of a strategic effort by HYBE.
HYBE is currently under a government investigation involving NewJeans. Observers noted repeated patterns of sightings featuring only Hyein and Haerin near key dates.
