Former ADOR representative Min Heejin supported NewJeans' return. Today (13th), Min Heejin stated, "I think the decision made by the members yesterday (12th) to return together was a choice made after deep contemplation and dialogue. I respect and support that choice," adding, "There were difficulties, but I value the courage of the members who took each other's hands again to protect one another." She continued, "I can start anew anywhere. However, under any circumstances, NewJeans should be fully protected as five. I hope the members will become stronger and that NewJeans will improve, and above all, I wish for all five members to be happy." She expressed gratitude to the fans who have protected NewJeans during difficult times, asking them to warmly welcome the returning members. She also mentioned the ongoing lawsuit with HYBE, stating, "Multiple lawsuits have been ongoing simultaneously, and it has been a long difficult time for all of us. My lawsuit with HYBE is a separate lawsuit that has nothing to do with NewJeans. I am doing my best as an individual, so I hope the truth will come to light." Previously, ADOR announced on the 12th that Hae-rin and Hae-in expressed their intention to continue activities with ADOR. "The two made the decision to respect the court's ruling and adhere to the exclusive contract after careful consideration with their families and sufficient discussions with ADOR," it was reported. A few hours later, the remaining members Minji, Danielle, and Hani also expressed their intention to return to ADOR through their lawyer, but ADOR stated, "We are confirming the true intentions," and the return has not been formalized yet.
