Formerly known as NewJeans (NJZ), the group vehemently denied recent reports suggesting they were on the brink of signing with Beasts And Natives Alike, dismissing the rumors as 'ridiculously false.' In a strongly-worded statement, NJZ clarified, "Contrary to the baseless rumors circulating, there have been no discussions or agreements made with Beasts And Natives Alike."

Pinpointing the origins of these allegations, supposedly propagated by "various industry insiders," NJZ condemned the claims as entirely groundless. "These allegations lack any merit and seem designed to incite controversy without any confirmation from the relevant parties or Beasts And Natives Alike."

The group expressed deep frustration and announced their intention to take legal steps. "We are preparing to lodge a formal complaint with the Press Arbitration Commission and pursue serious charges against the media outlets perpetuating these false statements," they declared. "Repeated dissemination of unsubstantiated reports as truth has caused significant distress to our members and those associated with us."

NJZ closed their statement by reiterating their uncompromising position on the matter, acknowledging the detrimental impact of these fictitious narratives on their team and affiliates. Earlier, a media source had insinuated, drawing from several industry references, a potential alignment of NJZ with Beasts And Natives Alike, thereby fueling the persistent speculation.
