After the suspension of NewJeans' activities, member Danielle has shared a heartfelt message with fans, offering warmth and reassurance during this uncertain time.
On April 30, Danielle posted a series of peaceful nature photos with a sunflower emoji through the group’s shared account, co-managed with fellow members Minji, Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein. Though the images were simple, they carried a deeply emotional message for Bunnies (NewJeans’ fans).
“Hi Bunnies, it’s Danielle. I hope you’re doing well,” she began. “There’s so much I want to say, so please bear with me.”
She shared that she had finally finished reading all the birthday letters sent by fans, saying:
“It took me a while because I wanted to read every single sentence. As I read, I was overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts. I’ve learned so much—from the power of a single word to the depth of a well-written sentence. Most of all, I realized once again how strong and kind Bunnies truly are.”
Danielle went on to express her gratitude, saying she could feel how much fans believed in her:
“Even though we might not meet or hug in person, we’re always supporting one another and passing along positive energy. We’re never alone—I hope we can continue to be each other’s comfort.”
🚫 Why Are NewJeans’ Activities Suspended?
In late 2023, all five members of NewJeans terminated their exclusive contracts with ADOR and launched a new Instagram account under the temporary name "JEANSforFREEDOM", later renamed NJZ. The group planned to continue their journey under this new identity.
However, a court ruling by the Seoul Central District Court rejected the contract termination claim, stating there wasn't enough evidence that ADOR had seriously violated its obligations or that mutual trust had completely broken down.
As a result, all independent entertainment activities by the members were legally suspended unless approved by ADOR. The group’s recent performance at ComplexCon in Hong Kong—where they introduced solo and group tracks including “PIT STOP”—marked their last public appearance before announcing a pause in activities in respect of the court's decision.
Following the ruling, the members' shared NJZ account was wiped clean, and its name was changed to “MHDHH,” using the initials of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein.
Though the future remains uncertain, Danielle’s message is clear:
✨ No matter what happens, the bond between NewJeans and Bunnies remains strong and unwavering.
