However, as soon as the video came out, netizens noticed that they didn’t mention their name or “NewJeans” at all in their introduction, even though it was in the tweet and caption of the video. Instead, they simply said: “Good evening everyone.”
Many shared that they may not hear from NewJeans from now on, as it is still licensed to ADOR and HYBE, while others hope to hear the normal greeting soon.
No more “We are NewJeans”
