A recent security breach of NewJeans members Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni has left fans highly alarm.
(From L to R) Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni from NewJeans
On February 28, KST, a CCTV footage of the three members spread online, showing them inside a dance studio. Given that they were seen practicing, the footage sparked talk of a three-member comeback.
However, fans couldn’t ignore that the footage leak was a serious privacy breach and reached out to the dance studio, demanding an explanation on how it happened. According to emails shared by fans on social media, the dance studio denied having any involvement with the leak. Their response stated that the individual responsible for illegally sharing the video has been “formally identified and reported to the police,” adding that they would be taking strict legal action.
A few of my oomfs and I emailed the dance studio, and this was their response. They stated that neither the owners nor any of the staff were responsible for leaking the CCTV footage. This is crazy asf pic.twitter.com/1qZLtT5Y1k

The incident has left many fans disturbed, leading them to call out ADOR and HYBE for refusing to address this serious privacy breach publicly or take any necessary legal action.
12 hours after the initial leak, the unauthorized CCTV image of NewJeans members is still circulating online.
There remains no visible action or public response from @alldoorsoneroom.
This continued inaction constitutes a serious breach of management responsibility.#NewJeans pic.twitter.com/3E8D9f2iAO

Ador is a failure of a company. They have one group under their label, but they still fail at protecting their privacy time and time again. DISBAND THE GROUP

Some also speculated that the leak might have been intentional to shift the public’s attention from former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin‘s legal win against HYBE.
Idols practice in studios around the world all the time. Never have I ever seen leaked CCTV from a studio. This has hybe written all over it.

Hybe is leaking CCTV footage of the youngest members of NewJeans, How is this okay? The court is over, they went back, yet Hybe’s still leaking their privacy. They have zero privacy and safety in that company.

Photos of Haerin and Hyein at a London dance studio are circulating. This is a CCTV leak likely intended to distract public opinion.
Once again, Ador has failed to manage the security and protection of the members’ privacy.
We must remember: this is happening regardless of the…

Although most of the posts that circulated the footage have now been taken down, fans are frustrated that the group’s label didn’t help in the matter. Meanwhile, Hanni, Hyein, and Haerin are confirmed to have returned to ADOR, while Minji‘s position remains unclear. With their lineup fragmented in this way, NewJeans’ future under ADOR is becoming increasingly uncertain.
