Confirmed Return of Haerin and Hyein

Haerin and Hyein's return to Ador was officially confirmed earlier in the afternoon. The label released a statement saying:

"Haerin and Hyein have expressed their intention to continue working with Ador. After careful consideration with their families and sufficient discussions with the agency, they decided to respect the court's ruling and comply with their exclusive contracts."

The agency also assured full support for the two members' comeback and asked fans to avoid speculation about the group’s future.

Statement from Minji, Danielle, and Hanni

The other three members issued a statement later, explaining their desire to return to Ador as well:

"After careful discussions, we have decided to return to ADOR. One of our members is currently in Antarctica, so communication was delayed, and since Ador has not yet responded, we had no choice but to share our position separately."
