NewJeans' Hani, Is She the Member Staying in Antarctica?...Looks Happy in Argentina

Girl group NewJeans' Hani is likely the 'member currently staying in Antarctica' mentioned by ADOR, according to analysis.

On the 13th, a netizen revealed a signed item received from Hani on social media, sharing a sighting in Argentina's Ushuaia. The netizen stated, "Someone happened to meet Hani in Ushuaia, Argentina," adding, "Hani looked happy." Ushuaia is known as 'the end of the world' and is the southernmost city in Argentina, recognized as a major departure point for Antarctic exploration, which adds credibility to the sighting.

Hani Instead of Daniel? Unique Schedule of 'Vietnamese-Australian'

NewJeans announced a full return on the 12th, but their agency ADOR only stated, "1 of the 5 members is currently staying in Antarctica." Initially, fans speculated that Daniel would be in Antarctica, but the revelation of Hani's sighting in Argentina turned the situation around. Some fans are also speculating that Hani is staying locally to participate in the Antarctic Marathon held every November.

Schedule Coordination After Return Decision...End of Legal Dispute

ADOR stated, "We are coordinating individual interview schedules with all members for their return," adding, "We are doing our best for a smooth resumption of activities." However, they have not provided an official statement regarding specific schedules and locations for each member.

Meanwhile, the members of NewJeans confirmed the validity of their contract after the court dismissed the injunction lawsuit they had filed against ADOR regarding the suspension of the exclusive contract's effect. The members decided not to appeal within the appeal period, officially returning to their agency. Fans are expressing their support with comments like, "I hope Hani returns safely," and "I wish her a healthy return without overdoing it," while attention is focused on Hani's exact return schedule and the timing of NewJeans' full group comeback.
