Minji's individual photo also appeared on the official social media, with the post content being: "[NewJeans Day🎂] MINJI." The public thus believes that after a series of controversies, Minji seems to have confirmed her return to the group through the new photos.

As for Danielle, the original article states that she has not yet returned to the group following further contract disputes with ADOR; at the same time, ADOR continues to pursue legal action against the former NewJeans member, Min Hee-jin, and a family member.

Mixed Fan Reactions, Many Disapprove of 4-Member Photo

The original article notes that fan reactions to this new set of photos are quite varied; considering Danielle's current situation, many of the reactions are not positive. X user Pikachu posted: "HYBE is more evil than the darkest soul at the bottom of the darkest part of hell."

Another X user, gui, directly wrote: "It's not NewJeans without Danielle."

X (Twitter)

X user it was a gi jane JOKE also commented: "This doesn't feel like NewJeans at all."

X (Twitter)

X user ʚїɞ wrote with even stronger emotion: "Oh no, absolutely not, this is not my NewJeans. NewJeans without Dani is not NewJeans, don't piss me off, HYBE."

X (Twitter)

Pikachu also posted separately: "HYBE making NewJeans re-debut as 4 members after 3 years and removing Danielle from the group is the saddest thing that has happened in K-pop, and we can't do anything about it."

X (Twitter)

NewJeans' reappearance on official social media with anniversary photos was initially seen as a signal of their comeback, but the 4-member group photo without Danielle unexpectedly turned this appearance into a controversial focal point.
