After going public with their new social media account "jeanzforfree", the group quickly uploaded a video of the five members greeting fans and saying "It's really us", to let their audience know their account was real.
According to Korean media reports, on the evening of December 15, this account had reached more than 2.1 million followers in a short time since its establishment.
However, Korean media questioned whether NewJeans could keep the group name "NewJeans" amid the ongoing legal dispute with ADOR that has been dragging on for weeks now.
With the group's new social media accounts, many fans are now wondering if NewJeans actually plans to change the group's name to "Jeanz," as their new account name suggests.
Some netizens have noticed that the Korean pronunciation of "Jeanz" is very similar to "jinju", which means "pearl". This is also a beautiful name for a group.
Many NewJeans fans support the girls changing their names so they can pursue their careers without being tied to any party.
Previously, NewJeans announced that they were ending their relationship with ADOR management company. They hope to operate freely and not be controlled by this company.
