NewJeans is once again being mentioned in industry predictions, with analysts pointing to a “highly likely” comeback timeline and long-term global tour plans… even as the group remains on an extended hiatus with an unclear lineup.

On June 10, Hana Securities analyst Lee Ki Hoon released a report on HYBE and other major entertainment stocks. He highlighted NewJeans as a key factor in HYBE’s future performance.
According to the report, NewJeans is expected to return as a four-member group before October. However, there is still no official confirmation from HYBE or ADOR regarding timing, lineup, or format of their next release.
There is a high possibility that NewJeans will return as a four-member group by October at the latest. Considering that NewJeans was one of the key groups of the fourth generation, the results of that comeback could become a trigger for a rebound.

Recent updates from ADOR have only confirmed that members have been involved in pre-production work in Copenhagen. Reports indicate that some members participated in recording sessions, while the full group lineup remains uncertain due to Danielle’s terminated contract and Minji’s undecided status.

The report also projected a longer-term scenario where HYBE’s artists, including NewJeans, could support large-scale world tours around 2028. This forecast is based on the expected stabilization of earnings and recovery across the entertainment sector.
He also projected strong growth in 2028, estimating that large-scale tours by SEVENTEEN, NewJeans, KATSEYE, and Cortis could generate an additional ₩500-600 billion in revenue.
