Danielle is set to speak out for the first time since news of her departure from the group NewJeans emerged. She has even opened a social media account to independently ‘communicate’ with the public.
On the 11th, an SNS account believed to belong to Danielle circulated in online communities. Although there were no posts, the fact that her only follow and mutual follow was her older sister, Olivia Marsh, led to speculation.
Subsequently, on the 12th, the account’s first post featured an image stating “for those who waited 12 jan 7pm”.
Additionally, Danielle’s representatives at Law Firm HwaWoo announced that she would hold a ‘live message’ session with fans at 7 PM on the 12th, confirming that the account owner is indeed Danielle.
During this live broadcast, Danielle plans to express her gratitude to fans and share updates on her recent status. This ‘communication’ marks her first individual activity since her expulsion from NewJeans, garnering significant attention.
Meanwhile, on the 29th of last month, her agency, ADOR, notified Danielle of the termination of her exclusive contract. After the court ruling confirming the validity of the exclusive contract, members Haerin and Hyein previously expressed their intention to return. Hanni has also confirmed her return, while discussions concerning Minji continue.
However, ADOR stated, “We plan to hold legally accountable a family member of Danielle and former CEO Min Hee-jin for causing this dispute and significant responsibility for NewJeans’ separation and return delay.”
ADOR has additionally filed a lawsuit against Danielle and others, claiming damages of approximately 43.1 billion won. Danielle’s side has also appointed legal representatives to respond.
However, Danielle’s representatives anticipate no mention of the billion-won lawsuit during the live broadcast. Danielle’s side has stated, “It is for pure communication with fans and is unrelated to the lawsuit.”
