On May 15, NewJeans member Haerin expressed her gratitude to fans via the group’s new social media account. In her heartfelt message, she shared, “The Bunnies’ letters were absolutely insane… I was totally shocked!”
Haerin stated, “This may feel a bit raw right now… but I had no choice if I wanted to fully express how surprised, touched, emotional, and thankful I am.” She added, “I think Bunnies can relate. Sometimes the emotions are just too big and vague to put into words. I’m in that exact state right now, so I’m just laying it all out there. Thank you so much.”
Continuing her message, Haerin said, “I’m grateful that you celebrated someone else’s birthday with so much love. I’m also thankful for all your quiet support during this difficult time, whatever your reason may be. I keep being amazed. Thank you so much for putting so much care into the birthday cafés and billboards.”

Born on May 15, 2006, Haerin celebrated her 19th birthday, which was marked by various fan-organized events that she sincerely appreciated.
In other news, the five members of NewJeans announced the termination of their exclusive contracts with their agency ADOR last year, pursuing independent activities and performing under the new group name “NJZ.” However, on March 21, a court accepted ADOR’s request to maintain its status as the group’s management agency, asserting that the reasons provided by the NewJeans members were insufficient to justify contract termination. Following this, the members objected, but the Seoul Central District Court dismissed their objection on April 16.
