Did NewJeans really change their group name?

“It’s really us” ... NewJeans launches new SNS account as ‘NewJeanz,’ Min Heejin likes their posts

Girl group NewJeans rebrands as ‘NewJeanz’ with a new SNS account.

On December 14, NewJeans (Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein) launched a new official SNS account under the name 'Jeanz for Free.'

The group uploaded four videos to greet fans for the first time. Danielle and Hanni confirmed the account was created by them, saying “It’s really us.”

Minji added, “It feels a bit awkward since it’s been a while, but I missed you. It’s freezing in Korea, so we’ve prepared warm meals for you all. Please make sure to eat well.”

Can't they keep their original name?

1. [+165][-32] What's wrong with the people who are blaming NewJeans? It's obvious that HYBE wouldn't hand over the trademark rights, that's why they changed their nameㅋㅋ

2. [+144][-31] Why are HYBE stans so salty?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s clearly because of Bang Sihyuk’s greed.

3. [+133][-15] That pig would never give up the trademark anyway... So the girls got no other options than changing their group name. Still, I hope they stay strong.

4. [+132][-16] Didn't Haboong-ies say they don't need NewJeans anymore?ㅠㅠ Didn't they say they're going to start fresh? Please let NewJeans go at this point then~~~~

5. [+127][-168] But still... Is it okay to just leave like that??

6. [+92][-5] They said they're gonna ditch NewJeans and start fresh. Therefore, NewJeans no longer has the reason to stay in that company now.

7. [+77][-8] NewJeans never die...ㅠㅠ Whether it’s NewJeanz, Bunnies, or even Denim Girls... Regardless of the group name, I’d still be happy as long as they come back.

8. [+70][-83] But wouldn’t earning revenue under a new name just give HYBE more evidence for their case?

9. [+37][-74] I used to support them, but their attitude toward the world makes it harder to cheer for them.

10. [+25][-9] Honestly, HeeJeans sounds better.
