NewJeans' HANNI releases birthday selfies... Return schedule still undecided

On the 6th, two photos celebrating HANNI's birthday were uploaded to NewJeans' official SNS channels. The released caption read, "HAPPY HANNI DAY Photo by HANNI #HAPPY_HANNI_DAY #NewJeans #HANNI #NewJeans #HANNI".

In the photos she took herself, HANNI showed a low-resolution angle and a vintage atmosphere. She left a mirror selfie wearing a knit hat that brings rabbit ears to mind, and in another photo, she made a facial expression with her lips slightly pouted while looking at the camera.

Her braided hair, fair skin, and clear eyes were also captured. Reactions followed that even amidst the blurry focus, HANNI's unique atmosphere remains alive.

Fans sent birthday wishes and messages of support. Comments such as "Happy birthday sincerely, Pham Hanni," "The atmosphere of the photo is so hip and pretty," "I want to see you on stage soon," and "Thank you for returning healthily" were posted.

NewJeans declared the termination of their exclusive contracts with their agency ADOR in November 2024 and promoted under the name NJZ, but official activities have been paused since March 2025 due to the court's decision to grant an injunction. Since then, in December last year, HANNI, HAERIN, and HYEIN formalized their return to ADOR, while MINJI is continuing discussions regarding her return. DANIELLE left the team after receiving notice of the termination of her exclusive contract from ADOR.
