NewJeans appears to be missing from HYBE‘s revised plans for the remainder of 2024, leading to widespread anger from fans. The group’s anticipated album release has been indefinitely postponed amid ongoing issues with the company.

Missing from the Schedule

Recently, NewJeans has garnered attention due to their absence from HYBE’s updated schedule for the fourth quarter of 2024 (October to December). This news has stirred significant outrage among netizens, particularly since the group was previously expected to release a new album later this year.

Earlier in the year, during a fan meeting at the Tokyo Dome, NewJeans hinted at plans for an album launch in the second half of 2024. However, the latest schedule, released on October 14, shows no activities planned for the group, raising concerns about their future within the company.

Speculations and Controversy

The abrupt omission from HYBE’s agenda coincides with ongoing tension between NewJeans and the company. Reports indicate that the group’s former CEO, Min Hee Jin, who now serves as their creative director, confirmed that work on the anticipated album has been halted due to a legal dispute with HYBE.

In a heartfelt statement earlier in September, Min Hee Jin expressed her disappointment, revealing that significant disruptions have affected the group. She stated:

“There have been major disruptions. I was dismissed while planning a surprise fan meeting for Korean fans. Vice presidents were also abruptly excluded from their duties and cut off. The work on the next album has also been suspended. It’s truly heartbreaking. This, too, is an act of obstruction HYBE is committing against NewJeans.”

This revelation has led fans to voice their frustrations, questioning the company’s commitment to the group and expressing concern for their well-being.

Fans Express Their Anger

Social media has been ablaze with comments from fans and netizens expressing their outrage over the situation. Many have taken to platforms like TheQoo to share their thoughts. Some notable reactions include:

• “They’re seriously pathetic.”
• “Save NewJeans.”
• “What the hell…”
• “NewJeans gave an ultimatum saying they wanted a response by the 25th, but the company hasn’t replied. Do you think NewJeans will continue their activities? The company can’t force them to.”
• “This is really filthy. Give us back NewJeans, damn it.”
• “Lately, I’ve been watching videos related to the National Assembly sessions, and what’s happening with this company is eerily similar.”
• “The album is on hold, but who’s worrying about NewJeans’ mental health? Just because they seem bright on the outside doesn’t mean they really are.”
• “HYBE, you’re pathetic.”
• “They had a full plan, but they’ve just shelved it in plain sight? Absolute thugs. I hope NewJeans and Min Hee Jin have a swift and safe separation.”

The collective disappointment from fans highlights their concern not only for the group’s career but also for the emotional well-being of its members.

The Future of NewJeans

As the situation unfolds, fans are left wondering what lies ahead for NewJeans. With the album release now postponed and their activities seemingly sidelined, many supporters fear for the group’s future under HYBE’s management.

Despite the uncertainty, fans remain vocal about their support for NewJeans, hoping for a resolution that allows the group to thrive and continue creating music that resonates with them.
