NJZ, formerly known as NewJeans, has taken a bold step towards independence amidst a contract dispute with ADOR. In a recent behind-the-scenes video, member Hanni showcased a stunning new look that has left fans buzzing with excitement.

The video, released on February 8 through NJZ’s official social media accounts, features Hanni sporting slicked-back hair, a white lace mask, red contact lenses, and white eyebrows. The transformation hints at an exciting new direction for the group.

Just a day earlier, on February 7, NJZ revealed in an exclusive interview with CNN that they have rebranded themselves with the new name. The group also announced their participation in ‘Complex Live,’ a concert event at ‘ComplexCon’ in Hong Kong, scheduled from March 21 to 23. Addressing their ongoing dispute with ADOR and HYBE, the members expressed confidence in their ability to overcome challenges, stating, “We are determined to resolve all issues and reclaim our top position. Our trust in ADOR has diminished, but we are committed to winning this battle.”

Despite the name change, NJZ assured fans that they still hold their former identity, NewJeans, close to their hearts. They acknowledged the special significance of the old name, stating, “NewJeans remains important to us, and we value the connection it holds with our fans.”

In a live broadcast on NJZ’s official channel, the members teased their upcoming music by revealing images featuring red lenses. Hinting at a new song set to be released in March, they shared, “Our new track comes with a fresh image that we are eager to unveil. The debut song from NJZ is scheduled for release on March 23, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

Excitement was palpable as the members expressed their anticipation for the new music and reassured fans that a new agency will soon be established. The group’s commitment to delivering a live performance for their devoted fans was evident, promising an unforgettable musical journey ahead.
