Pre-Debut NJZ (NewJeans) Member Takes Heat For Now-Deleted “Shade” Towards The Group
Recently, actress and model Harada Rin (known as Harin) has become a hot topic after an interview gained attention.
According to Harin, she was a trainee under HYBE and Source Music, and reportedly part of NJZ‘s (NewJeans) debut line-up. She allegedly spoke of getting cut just before she was to debut, though these claims have since been deleted.

There was a pre-debut line-up for NewJeans that was referred to as the N-Team (which is what Harin’s official profile stated she was a part of before a recent change), and she very well could have been part of that team’s line-up.
With her status as a possible pre-debut NJZ member, additional eyes have been placed on Harin, leading to a discovery that has resulted in backlash.
Netizens pointed out that Harin had liked several comments on her most recent Instagram post, including one that stated she should be glad that she is not involved in the ongoing ADOR vs NJZ case.

Fans have interpreted this as “shady,” especially after Harin deleted the likes, and criticized the actress.
