NewJeans members have announced that they will continue their activities under the new name “NJZ” and even release a new song.
On February 7th, the members shared the news on social media, saying, “Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein will begin a surprising new journey as NJZ in 2025. We’re excited for you to see what’s next!” They also posted a group photo and revealed their debut song as NJZ will drop on March 23rd.
This name change follows a contest the members held to choose a temporary group name, ultimately deciding on NJZ.
However, the new name has received a mixed reception. Some fans criticized it, saying things like, “It’s just initials,” “Could this cause legal problems?” and “What does it even stand for?”
