NewJeans member Haerin made her first official public appearance in a year and a half on Monday at Dior Beauty's 2026 Rouge Dior on Stage pop-up store at Lotte World Mall in Seoul.
Haerin, the brand's ambassador, appeared in a black dress and white cardigan, and introduced herself as "NewJeans Haerin." It marked her first mention of the group's name since returning to its agency, Ador, in November 2025.
Her public appearance fueled expectations that the group would return as a four-member team after a long hiatus.
Fans at the scene greeted Haerin with cheers, shouting "We missed you." She replied with a smile as she walked toward the photo wall.
