Newjean’s performance of “Right Now” wows audiences with its flawless choreography and vocal power. Fans were thrilled to see the group back together as they delivered an electrifying performance.

Following their ‘Music Bank’ appearance, NewJeans is set to grace the stages of MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’ on July 13 and SBS’s ‘Inkigayo’ on July 14. These performances will include not only their latest tracks but also a medley of their popular hits “ETA,” “OMG,” and “Hype Boy” from their previous albums.

This series of performances is especially meaningful as it will mark NewJeans Hyein appearing for the first music show since her injury. Her return has been eagerly anticipated, and her presence will reinforce the group’s bond and performance.

In their previous announcements, ADOR, the agency behind NewJeans, had emphasized their commitment to presenting a complete five-member performance on domestic music shows. Their dedication is evident in the intense preparation and energy they displayed on stage, which serves as a heartfelt thank you for the support they received since the group’s debut.

Since the release of “Supernatural” on June 21, NewJeans has actively engaged with fans through various fan meetings and appearances on Japanese music programs. Their promotions included performances on major shows like Fuji TV’s ‘Mezamashi TV’ and ‘Mezamashi 8,’ TV Asahi’s ‘Music Station,’ and Nihon TV’s ‘THE MUSIC DAY 2024.’ These appearances have solidified their popularity and showcased their impressive talent to a wider audience.

“Supernatural” has seen remarkable success, topping domestic music charts and achieving high ranks on global platforms such as Billboard in the U.S., Spotify Japan, and Apple Music Japan. The single has also recorded over 1 million copies in sales, making all five NewJeans releases million-sellers, a testament to their widespread appeal and enduring popularity.

Earlier today, NewJeans’ agency ADOR made an announcement regarding member Hyein. “She has sustained an injury during practice and will be suspending her activities for the time being,” ADOR said in a statement. This news comes as a disappointment to fans eagerly awaiting the girl group’s next comeback.

According to the agency, Hyein was taken to a hospital after complaining of pain in the top of her foot during a training session. The 15-year-old idol was eventually diagnosed with a microfracture, a very small break or crack in the bone. Microfractures don’t break the bone completely but do make moving difficult and painful. This kind of injury is often caused by overuse, repetitive stress, or a sudden impact. Given the intense dancing idols like her do in practice rooms and onstage, it isn’t surprising that Hyein was injured.

A microfracture may be small, but it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Such injuries can cause sharp pain or swelling. The recovery time from a microfracture can vary but is usually between 6 to 12 weeks. The key to healing is to keep the injured joint as relaxed as possible. During this period, the patient must avoid putting weight or stress on the injured foot. That’s why Hyein is suspending her activities, as she can’t engage in anything that involves complex choreography or extensive standing and moving.

How will this affect NewJeans’ comeback?

Hyein sustained this injury while preparing for NewJeans’ highly anticipated comeback on May 24. Despite this setback, NewJeans plans to continue with their activities. The five-member girl group will release a double single featuring the title track “How Sweet” and the B-side “Bubble Gum.” NewJeans and the Japanese company Kao recently released a commercial featuring the latter, which you can check out below.

Meanwhile, fans of the group have taken to social media to support Hyein, expressing wishes for her speedy recovery and anticipation for the group’s comeback. – K-Pop News Writer
