On July 1, 2022, ADOR teased the launch of their first girl group, NewJeans, by posting three animated featuring the numbers "22", "7" and "22" on their social media accounts, fueling speculation that content would be released on July 22.[6] Haerin debuted alongside the group with the surprise-released music video for their debut single "Attention" on July 22, 2022, without any prior promotion or information regarding the group's members.[7][8] On July 21, 2023, NewJeans released their second extended play, Get Up, in which Haerin was credited for the first time as a lyricist for her contribution to the song "New Jeans".[9][10]

On June 2, 2024, Haerin debuted as a special MC for SBS' K-Wave Concert Inkigayo held at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea, alongside Yunho and Han Yu-jin of boy groups Ateez and Zerobaseone respectively.[11]
