Although it still appears to be moving slowly, there has been some progress. It may take more time until she rejoins, but for now, this can be seen as a positive signal.

The possibility of NewJeans returning as a four-member group is gradually increasing. ADOR conveyed through an official statement on the 7th regarding Minji's comeback: "We are continuing internal discussions regarding her future activities." It added, "While we cannot provide specific details at this time, please understand that negotiations are ongoing in a generally positive direction."

ADOR also posted a photo of cookies baked by Minji on NewJeans' official SNS with the caption "HAPPY MINJI DAY." These cookies were a gift from Minji to fans after she personally visited a birthday cafe organized to celebrate her recent birthday.

This post seems to have further bolstered the possibility of Minji's return to ADOR. Without Minji's consent, this post would not have been published.

Earlier, NewJeans sparked curiosity in April when they were spotted by some fans in Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, amid comeback rumors. Documents appearing to show a reservation under ADOR's name at a recording studio located there from April 13 to 17 circulated on SNS. Reports also emerged with photos of Haerin and Hyein visiting the Lego shop, a famous Danish toy brand. It was further reported that they were carrying cameras that appeared to be for filming purposes.

ADOR stated to StarNews on the 27th of last month: "It is correct that Hyein, Haerin, and Hanni visited Copenhagen, Denmark with staff." It continued, "The members' visit to Copenhagen is part of a pre-production process to incorporate new musical narratives." It added, "NewJeans members are currently preparing for activities according to their individual conditions and schedules optimized for each member. We will officially announce the members' future plans at the most appropriate time."

It has been confirmed that Minji did not participate in this schedule. Since this schedule was part of a pre-production process aimed at purposes such as Song Camp, it is interpreted that it will not significantly impact the possibility of NewJeans returning as a four-member group.

This schedule is seen as a 'build-up' for NewJeans' comeback following Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein's return to ADOR. As speculation grows that NewJeans' return to the music industry is only a matter of time, expectations for a four-member comeback are expected to rise further.

Of course, there are still hurdles to overcome. The fact that Minji and ADOR are discussing details suggests that the final decision has not yet been made. Even if her return is decided, it will inevitably take more time to prepare for the comeback. While this may be frustrating for fans, the current atmosphere prioritizes a smooth agreement between both sides.

Earlier, following the announcement of Haerin and Hyein's return, ADOR stated in an official statement on December 29 last year: "We are in talks with Minji and continuing negotiations." It added, "Regarding Daniel, as he is both a NewJeans member and an artist under ADOR, it was determined that it would be difficult for him to continue together, so we have notified him of the termination of his exclusive contract."

Furthermore, ADOR announced: "We intend to hold legal responsibility against one member of Daniel's family and Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO), who bear significant responsibility for causing this dispute, leading to NewJeans' departure and delays in return."
