NewJeans officially changed its name, only 3 letters, about to have its first stage

According to a source from the Korea Times, NewJeans has announced that it will change the group's name to NJZ. This decision was made after the group announced that it was terminating its contract with the management company ADOR and could not continue to use the old name.

"Get ready for an exciting journey with NJZ in 2025, stay tuned. Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein's new group name is NJZ. Let's look forward to a great journey ucngf NJZ in 2025," the members announced on their new social media accounts.

Immediately after the new name, the 5 girls continued to announce that they would perform at a concert in Hong Kong (China) in March. Along with that, the group also announced the latest image when participating in the global fashion and street culture festival ComplexCon. This also means that this is the group's first activity as NJZ instead of NewJeans as before.

Sharing about this event, Minji said, "I am very excited to be on stage for the first time as NJZ and show you a new side of us. This performance is an important moment and I look forward to sharing new music with fans around the world." In addition to NJZ, other Korean artists also participated in the concert, including Zico, B.I, Sik-K, and Changmo.

5 NewJeans members have announced the termination of the exclusive contract with ADOR from 29.11.2024 for the reason that the company is in breach of contractual obligations. However, ADOR still affirmed that the contract was still valid and filed a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the contract. The company has also filed for an injunction banning the group, in order to maintain ADOR's status as a management company and prevent members from arbitrarily signing independent advertising contracts.

The first court hearing to consider the application for a restraining order filed by ADOR against the five NewJeans members will take place on March 7 in Civil Room 50 of the Seoul Central Court.

Before officially debuting under the name NJZ, this group went through a turbulent period. After unilaterally announcing their departure from ADOR and HYBE, the members actively sought a new title through a special contest for the Bunnies fandom.

During the two-day contest on social media, the group called on fans to contribute ideas: "Dear Bunnies! We will be holding a 2-day contest where you can suggest a new stage name for the group in the near future. Leave a comment! We will choose a name from the proposals of the Bunnies!"

However, the move was met with opposition from former company ADOR, who claimed that the group's arbitrary name change without consent was a serious breach of contract.

Initially, there was speculation that the group would change its name to JeanZ, but there was no indication of a trademark application for the name. Now, when the group is officially named NJZ, the question of brand protection is once again raised.

Although there are still many legal controversies related to the contract between NewJeans and ADOR, the group continues to stand firm with the name NJZ and prepare for the big stage at ComplexCon. Meanwhile, the lawsuit determining the validity of the exclusive contract between NewJeans and ADOR is expected to begin in April, promising new developments that affect the group's future.

Previously, NewJeans tried to sign a contract directly with a global luxury watch brand O, through the management of the company ADOR abbreviated as A. This manager reportedly met and began discussing the contract directly with the 5 members through another former ADOR manager. was identified as B. Trying to find a new contract without thoroughly resolving the group's disputes was met with many objections from netizens.

With its appearance at ComplexCon, NJZ not only marks a new beginning, but also sends a strong message of independence and creativity. Fans are now looking forward to the new music products that the group will present at this event.
