On the 26th, BBC News Korea released a video titled 'Newzins, Why You Stopped Your NZ Activity' on its official channel.
BBC News Korea met with members and conducted two interviews before and after the court cited Adore's application for an injunction against preserving agency status and prohibiting the signing of advertising contracts.
Hani said "The decisions we've made over the past year have all been made through great discussion within us. To be honest, I don't feel comfortable bringing this up over and over again. It includes stories from other teams and we don't want to have any impact on them. There is no need for that. People wouldn't know if they didn't say their thoughts and feelings publicly. I would have believed only the media reports."
Minji "Every moment we have to speak out, many places cover our story. Of course, it was scary, and I'm worried about it a lot in my life in the future."
In particular, Newzins strongly denied the rumor that `adults are influencing behind the scenes.'

Daniel was trying to quietly hide everything as I went through this situation myself in 2024. I tried to suppress my feelings and just ignore what was going on around me. We were preparing for a comeback when that situation started. But at some point, it came to the point where (the suppressed emotions) were about to explode. It was heartbreaking."
In November last year, Newzins announced the termination of its exclusive contract with Odor and tried to carry out independent activities under the name of NZ. However, the provisional injunction filed by Adore on the 21st was cited, and independent activities became impossible. In response, the members declared the suspension of their activities at the 'ComplexCon' held in Hong Kong.
Danielle says, `I remember expecting a really different result, but everyone was shocked.' And Hye-in says, `Some people think that we're very famous and that we can do whatever we want and say whatever we want. We put up with it very much, but we've barely spoken out about the absurdity we've experienced. To be honest, from a social perspective, the situation is not flowing in favor of me. But I think the situation itself speaks to that fact. We were very courageous in saying it."
Daniel says "We just want to keep working. We continue to do what we love without being disturbed, without lies and misunderstandings, and that is our biggest fear, with Hani " (inactivity). That's why we keep moving forward. But this fear always lingers in the back of my mind. Because anything can happen and we never expected to go through this as a trainee until two years ago. I don't know what kind of future there will be. Maybe there will be a situation where we can't really be active anymore. I want to avoid such a situation at all. I don't want to say fear. I want to avoid such a situation," he stressed.
