Girl group NewJeans is changing its team name to "NJZ" and embarking on independent activities.
According to the entertainment industry on the 7th, NewJeans revealed their new team name, NJZ, and photos on their social media account that day. The SNS account name has also been changed from "jeanzforfree" to "njz_official."
NJZ will also perform at a concert as part of the global street fashion and culture festival "ComplexCon" held next month at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. This will be the first stage they perform on after changing their group name.
NJZ member Minji noted, "I am very excited to show you a new side of us" and added, "I am eagerly waiting to share the new music that we wanted to show to fans all over the world."
Meanwhile, NJZ has been independently active since declaring the termination of its exclusive contract with Ador due to the company's failure to fulfill its obligations last November.
However, Ador has filed a lawsuit with the court to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract, claiming that it is still valid, as well as a request for a prohibitory injunction against actions such as retaining the status of the agency and entering into advertising contracts.
