On May 7, NewJeans members Minji and Danielle celebrated Minji’s birthday live with fans.
Many fans worried that Danielle appeared “quieter than usual” throughout the live, suggesting that recent events may be affecting the NewJeans.
Danielle answered fans’ questions via Phoning on May 8 KST, adding, “I loved seeing everyone yesterday! Some Bunnies worried about me since I was quieter than usual! TT. Thank you for caring and supporting me! TT. Don’t worry, we’re continuing rehearsing for Bunnies despite my heavy heart.”
Despite Danielle’s assurance, others were skeptical of her “heart was heavy these days” statement.
The internal issue between ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and HYBE Labels appears to have not been resolved. NewJeans’ return will continue with the release of “How Sweet / Bubble Gum” on May 24 despite the feud.
