Speculation had intensified after court proceedings referenced achange in parental custodyfor one of the underage members.
However, the parents dismissed this:That assumption is completely untrue.
Haerin and her family are fully aligned, and rumors about their personal matters are also false.
It should not be maliciously connected to the legal dispute with ADOR.
As parents, we cannot send our children back to such a place.
Statement from the Parents of the NewJeans Members:
Hello,We are the parents of the members.
We are issuing this statement to correct that misunderstanding.
All five members hold a firm stance that they cannot return to HYBE.
This decision was made after thorough discussions with their respective families.
From the beginning, the members promised they would only pursue legal action if all five were in agreement.
As such, they share deep trust in one another and remain united.
Despite the difficult situation, the five members continue to meet frequently and maintain their strong friendship.
We, their parents, have also grown closer through regular communication amid these challenges.
The rumors aboutHaerinare completely untrue.
Haerin and her parents share a clearly unified stance.
Speculations about their private family matters are also entirely false.
These groundless and unilateral assumptions have caused severe mental distress to both the member and her family.
We want to make it absolutely clear: every family is fully respecting and supporting their own child.
Furthermore, Article 72 stipulates criminal penalties for violating this prohibition on reporting.
We ask that everyone refrain from making or spreading reckless speculation about personal information.
Parental custody is a private family matter.
As parents, we cannot send our children back to such a place.
