The musician Hanni from the band NewJeans surprised her fans by going live on Instagram to connect with them. She performed acoustic covers and expressed appreciation for her supporters. During the live session on May 5, Hanni mentioned how touched she was after reading the letters from her fans, known as "Bunnies." Many fans had requested to see her play the guitar again, so she fulfilled their wishes by going live. Highlights from the session, including her cover of Sabrina Carpenter's "Opposite," quickly spread across social media.

Fans showed their support and mentioned missing the group, expressing concerns over the live streaming due to restrictions preventing NewJeans from acting independently of their label. Despite these limitations, fans expressed their love for the music and hope for NewJeans' return.

The live session coincided with an ongoing legal battle. NewJeans, now known as NJZ, split from their previous management agency, ADOR, citing issues of mistreatment and trust. However, a court injunction in March 2025 ordered NewJeans to cease independent activities and confirmed ADOR as their exclusive management. Despite NewJeans' appeal, the court upheld the decision, prolonging the legal dispute.
