NJZ, also known as NewJeans, arrived back in South Korea via Incheon Airport in the afternoon of March 24 after finishing their international schedule. The group, consisting of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, had disclosed the day before at ComplexCon in Hong Kong AsiaWorld-Expo that they would be pausing their activities under the NJZ name. Fans and the media gathered as the members were spotted coming out of the arrival hall. Concurrently, reports indicated that NJZ had decided to halt their activities unexpectedly, without informing ADOR in advance.
