HYBE Stock Explodes as NewJeans Returns Under ADOR Label, Fueling Investor Confidence
In a surprise move that sent shockwaves through the K-pop industry and global markets, HYBE Corporation's shares surged on November 13 after it was revealed that two members of popular girl group NewJeans would be returning to their original label home, ADOR. The news marked the latest chapter in a high-stakes drama involving the agency, its former creative director Min Hee-jin, and the group itself.
According to an official statement from ADOR, Haerin and Hyein had "decided to continue their activities with ADOR" after discussions with their parents and the label. However, it's unclear whether the remaining three members of NewJeans are also set to join them at ADOR. An investigation is currently underway to determine whether Minji, Hanni, and Danielle intend to return.
The news sparked widespread excitement among investors, driving HYBE shares up nearly 4.5% on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) – a gain that more than doubled the previous day's closing price. This marked the latest in a string of dramatic ups and downs for HYBE stock, which has seen a year-to-date increase of over 54%.
The group's highly publicized legal battle with Min Hee-jin, who served as ADOR's former CEO and creative director, has created a cloud of uncertainty around NewJeans' future. However, an official statement from Min Hee-jin herself seemed to reassure fans that the group will continue as five members, citing her support for their decision.
As NewJeans works to rebuild momentum following a period marked by intense media scrutiny and legal battles, the agency is set to release several high-profile projects in the coming months. A new single album from girl group ILLIT, featuring HYBE's Rockfish Weatherwear X Susan Fang collaboration, is due out later this month.
Meanwhile, HYBE is gearing up for a major comeback of its own – with BTS scheduled to return in March 2026, followed by SEVENTEEN members Seungkwan and DK releasing music in a duo sub-unit. The agency has also announced plans for new boy-band and girl-group projects, set to be released in collaboration with Geffen Records and producer Ryan Tedder.
With the news of NewJeans' return sending shockwaves through the K-pop industry, one thing is clear: HYBE stock is set to remain a hot topic of conversation among investors and fans alike.

. While it's intriguing to see investors betting on the group's success, I think we should also consider the broader implications of this trend. The highly publicized legal battle between Min Hee-jin and NewJeans has undoubtedly created a level of uncertainty that could impact investor confidence in HYBE as a whole. Nevertheless, with ADOR's official statement seeming to reassure fans about the group's future, I think it's likely that we'll see a continued upward trend in shares... at least for now 
. The fact that NewJeans is set to release several high-profile projects in the coming months also suggests that HYBE has a solid plan in place to drive growth and maintain investor interest

NewJeans is back and I'm SO here for it!!! 
4.5% gain on HYBE shares is MIND-BLOWING!!! 
I mean, who needs a stable drama-free life when you can have K-pop group returns and record-breaking gains? 
Okay okay I know some people might say it's crazy but COME ON, it's NewJeans we're talking about!!!

The group's return is definitely a positive move for K-pop fans worldwide 
. But what about the other members? Are they really leaving HYBE or just taking a break? So many questions and not enough answers
