A former trainee rumored to be part of NJZ’s (formerly NewJeans) predebut lineup is rapidly gaining attention for her striking visuals. Japanese model Harada Rin, better known by her stage name Harin, has become a trending topic online, sparking curiosity among K-pop fans.
According to rumors, Harin was initially included in the group’s predebut plans, though some netizens have questioned the accuracy of these claims. Her mature and captivating appearance quickly drew praise, but many felt that her image might not have matched NewJeans’ youthful and playful concept. If she had joined, Harin would have been the oldest member and the only Japanese member, changing the group’s originally all-Korean dynamic.
Fans and netizens have been discussing whether Harin truly fit NewJeans’ signature vibe. Some of the reactions online include:
- They were originally going to have six members, but Min Hee Jin supposedly consulted a shaman who predicted bad fortune for one member, so they cut it down to five.
- She’s gorgeous, but compared to the NewJeans members, she looks way more mature.
- Harin is stunning, but she doesn’t give off that unique NewJeans feel.
Despite the debate, many fans praised her beauty, acknowledging that her inclusion could have added a different dimension to the group. Harin’s rumored involvement with NJZ highlights how predebut decisions can significantly impact a group’s overall image and chemistry.
The discussion around Harin also underscores the intense scrutiny idols face even before debut. Netizens continue to share mixed opinions online, with some defending her potential spot in the lineup while others agree that her mature aura might not have aligned with NewJeans’ concept.
