The group NewJeans shared their thoughts on the "2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon" and expressed admiration for BIGBANG's G-Dragon after witnessing his performance.

On December 25, NewJeans connected with fans through a live broadcast on their "jeanzforfree" Instagram account, where they reflected on their day.

In the video, Minji said, "We spent Christmas with fans, starting with the morning 'News Show,' the afternoon red carpet, and the evening 'Gayo Daejeon.'" She shared her feelings about their busy but fulfilling day.

Hyein added, "We performed on the 'Gayo Daejeon' stage today, and it was such an honor to share the stage with incredible senior artists." She expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

The members particularly shared their excitement about watching senior artist G-Dragon perform live. While humming his hit song "Crooked," they showed their enthusiasm.

Hyein remarked, "Seeing his performance was so impressive. Today was truly exciting." She also expressed concern for fans braving the cold weather, saying, "Luckily, it didn't snow, so it felt less chilly."

At the end of the video, Minji sent warm wishes to fans, saying, "I hope everyone had a happy day."

Meanwhile, NewJeans took the stage wearing adorable "rabbit hats," showcasing their signature charm. The stage was designed with a cozy camping theme, capturing fans' attention. Details like a starry backdrop, snug tents, and stacks of firewood created a healing campsite vibe.

The group opened with "Ditto (250 Remix)" and followed with "Cookie+Hype Boy," delivering a stable live performance and relaxed stage presence. The show concluded on a positive note as the members shouted, "Let's all do a happy jump!" before jumping together, radiating energy and joy.

Recently, NewJeans gained attention after claiming to terminate their exclusive contract with their agency, ADOR. In response, ADOR filed a lawsuit asserting the validity of the contract, which is said to be effective until July 31, 2029. Despite the controversy, NewJeans lit up the stage with bright smiles, focusing on connecting with their fans.
