During a broadcast live on February 6, when a fan asked “I heard that Bana is debuting a new group of girls, do you know?“, Kim Ximya replied”I know“Before briefly showing a surprise expression, trying to act casual, raising further suspicions.
In particular, this live broadcast took place only one day before Njz was revealed, leading some fans to hypothesize that the members of the Newjeans could move to Bana under the name Njz. However, others urge caution, noting that this remains the speculation of the fans.
Voices according to which Bana could be the new Newjeans’ house has spread quickly, with key points in support of the theory: Kim Ximya’s mention on the new group of girls from Bana right before Njz’s announcement and Bana’s connections with many Producers previously associated with the former CEO of Ador Min Hee- Jin.
In addition, the former member of F (X) Krystal, who had previously been directed by Min Hee-Jin, is now under Bana, further fueling the speculations on Newjeans’ potential move.
Currently, Njz should operate as an independent brand, but no official declaration has been made regarding their agencies or future activities.
The fact that Kim Ximya’s comment was only a coincidence or a suggestion on Njz’s next steps, but the curiosity for the future of Newjeans and Njz’s fate continues to grow.
