NewJeans‘ Minji surprised fans at her own birthday event by handing out several postcards, breaking her silence since ADOR claimed her request to return to the company was under review months ago.
But it’s not the gesture that’s got everyone talking. It’s one small detail included in one of the postcards that has sparked massive speculation among fans and netizens.
NewJeans’ Minji Surprises Fans With Gifts And Handwritten Postcards Ahead Of Her Birthday
Minji seemingly drew six bunnies, and fans immediately started connecting the dots. Through the drawing, Minji seems to imply her opinion on Danielle‘s messy situation with ADOR: NewJeans still has five members. But who’s the sixth?
Minji said Newjeans is 5, fuck what you heard otherwise lol

Some fans believe the sixth bunny is a nod to Min Hee Jin, with the drawing read as a quiet show of continued support for the former ADOR CEO.

Others think it represents the fans themselves — Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein, and the Bunnies as one.

Her actual presence at the event has also raised eyebrows. Unlike Hyein, who was reportedly accompanied by ADOR staff at a recent fan cafe appearance, Minji seemed to show up on her own terms. Some fans are taking that as a sign she may no longer be part of ADOR. With Hanni, Hyein, and Haerin already confirmed to be working on music, there are multiple signs pointing to this.
If Minji wasn’t accompanied by ADOR staff like Hyein was for her appearance at the cafe event, then Minji is most likely free…

I don’t think Minji or Hanni are cooperating with Ador.

Meanwhile, ADOR has yet to make any statement about Minji, the rest of NewJeans, or the group’s future.
