NJZ, formerly known as NewJeans, has shocked fans and the internet by announcing that they will pause all activities. This decision comes after a court verdict, and now people are asking what really happened. Why such a decision?

Tensions between NJZ and their record label ADOR have been escalating for some time, and legal issues have been on the rise. Now that the court ruling has been released, it appears things have gotten a bit worse.

The problem with NJZ's contracts and payments. A chunk of NJZ fans feel that this is a result of the group's agency, HYBE's mishandling of situations. Fans are really upset over this and are just sad to see the group take a break, even if it is for a short time.

With so many emotions in the air, the internet is buzzing with reactions and fans are waiting for NJZ to come back.

Internet reacts to NJZ's decision

As soon as the announcement came out, social media exploded with opinions. Some fans are heartbroken, while others feel this break was necessary. Many are pointing fingers at the management, saying things could have been handled better.

A user @OneCultura commented on X, saying,

"You could hear the gasp in the arena. It’s going to be a long journey."

Another user @adobubble commented,

"Good. It’s time for NJZ to straighten things up and figure out with the label on how not to make things more difficult as it is. There’s law to follow or they need to pay what they have to pay. They should leave HYBE in the right way. Btw where’s auntie MHJ? Why aint she helpin them?"

Another user @itboyhole said,

"This is really unfortunate, MHJ really ruined thee top girl group, turned Korea against them, and now look at them. egg on their face…"

The user @theteaisrealtho said,

"It's so weird to see how many people switch themselves to hate against those young women NJZ and side with a multi billion company, like they forget what happened to Jaejoong, JYJ, Beast/Highlight,and more recently with GOT7 and THE BOYZ."

Another user @ChayKat7 commented on X saying,

"2nd best decision by new jeans, so far. The best decision would've been to settle their differences w/ Ador before they unilaterally breached their contract. If they feel the trust btwn them & Ador was irrevocably broken, then just negotiate the penalty & move on w/ their lives+"

Fans are clearly divided. Some want justice for NJZ, some are calling out the label, and some just want clarity on what happens next.

What happens next for NJZ?

With NJZ stepping away, the future feels uncertain. Many are wondering if this is a temporary pause or something bigger. If this is about contracts, it might take time to resolve. If it is about creative control, things might get even more complicated.
