NewJeans revealed a photo of being 'cursed', Minji's face has something scary on it, betrayal plot?

Recently, a member of NewJeans, Haerin, posted a suspicious photo of the group on her personal Instagram page. What caught people's attention was that member Minji's face was blacked out.

Haerin's actions immediately made fans question the group's internal relationships. Some opinions said that NewJeans was in a state of instability after leaving the management company. Recently, the hypothesis that the group would follow in Fifty Fifty's footsteps has been buzzing all over social media. Many people think that at least 1 member might "change direction" and return to being ADOR's "favorite". This opinion is even more valuable when the blacked-out photo caught the attention of netizens. However, this is still just a one-sided opinion, and cannot say whether there is internal conflict or discord among the 5 girls or not.

After Haerin's post, social media continuously made arguments, most of which asserted that Minji was being isolated. Every move of the members is now being closely scrutinized, making this drama increasingly difficult to control. The future of NewJeans is becoming a big question mark. Can they overcome the storm or will they become one of the fastest-rising groups in Kpop history?

Some reactions from netizens: "Or is she isolated again? If so, this kid must have returned to her father HYBE's arms", "No matter what, it's still not okay to cross out her face in a photo. It's fine to replace it with a sticker or something", "Or did Minji turn around?", "Posting that is no different from publicly isolating someone?", "What if people tease each other? You can't show off on social media boycotting a member of the same group".

From the title of dinosaur rookie to the top girl group of gen 4, NewJeans' career suffered when they became the center of the dispute scandal between HYBE Group and Min Hee Jin.

The story began in April 2024, when the Korean media was shocked by the internal war between HYBE and ADOR. In particular, Min Hee Jin - former internal director of ADOR was accused by the parent company HYBE of plotting to take over management. The conflict continued to escalate until September 2024, when Min Hee Jin was removed from the CEO position, and she immediately responded by accusing HYPE of violating the shareholder contract.

On the side of NewJeans, the 5 members also caused a stir in the Korean entertainment industry 20 minutes before the livestream, issuing an "ultimatum" demanding that HYBE restore Min Hee Jin's position. Until the evening of January 4, the Golden Disc Awards 2025 (GDA) ceremony held in Fukuoka, Japan became the last stage with the full lineup of 5 members, after unilaterally announcing the termination of the contract with the management company ADOR at the end of last year. The moment the 5 girls hugged each other on the GDA stage made many netizens regret the glorious past of the girl group when it had only debuted for more than 2 years.

Recently, NewJeans made fans bitter when they experienced the moment when they ended their era of sweeping Kpop like a whirlwind at the Golden Disc Awards 2025 stage. The 5 girls hugged each other. This was also the last schedule of NewJeans arranged by the management company ADOR, before the group unilaterally announced the termination of their exclusive contract. On forums, many people exclaimed that this was the moment when the era of sweeping Kpop like a whirlwind of the nearly 3-year-old group ended.

In its first two years of operation, NewJeans has achieved countless unprecedented records, from achieving a Perfect All-Kill, entering the Billboard Hot 100, dominating Japan, and being praised by international music magazines. NewJeans' meteoric rise is the source of the most noisy power struggle drama of 2024 between Min Hee Jin and HYBE Group.

But up to now, the tug of war between NewJeans and the parent corporation has not stopped because there is no final decision on the legal relationship between the two sides. If the contract dispute is not resolved, the 5 members of NewJeans will find it very difficult to release products and promote music. The fate of this girl group is more uncertain than ever.
