Daniel from NewJeans was seen at church, smiling and speaking into a microphone, amid ongoing legal disputes with ADOR.

NewJeans’ Danielle released a singing video of her new self-written song, “Stay,” on her personal YouTube channel on the 4th anniversary of the fandom Bunnies. The lyrics suggest a changed relationship, and the timing drew interest. She also posted a birthday message to Bunnies.

ADOR also won on appeal in its damages lawsuit against advertising production company Dolphin Kidnapping Group and director Shin Woo-seok. The court upheld that posting the director’s cut of NewJeans’ “ETA” music video without prior written consent breached the contract, even if oral approval had been claimed.

NewJeans’ Danielle posted a Melbourne vlog on her YouTube channel, showing time with her sister Olivia Marsh and outings for croissants, coffee, and ice cream. Fans noticed people and dogs that seemed linked to Hanni, leading to speculation that some friends in the video were NewJeans members. Danielle also showed affection for NewJeans by visiting the Great Ocean Road, posting a Bunnies Camp sticker, and sharing related photos. The text also mentions her ongoing legal dispute with ADOR.

NewJeans’ Hanni marked her birthday by sharing two selfies on the group’s official SNS. The photos showed her in a dreamy, vintage mood, and fans around the world sent birthday wishes and support. Danielle also appeared to celebrate Hanni’s birthday on Instagram.

NewJeans’ Hanni partly won a damages lawsuit against two netizens who posted insulting and defamatory comments about her. A Seoul court ordered each defendant to pay 100,000 won, saying their remarks were abusive and personal attacks. The court also noted Hanni herself had not acted in a socially blameworthy way.

Former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin won a damages lawsuit brought by BELIFT LAB creative director Huh over her 2024 claims that ILLIT copied NewJeans. The court dismissed the claims, saying the evidence did not show Shin, the former ADOR vice president, was involved, and that Huh was not clearly identified as the defamation victim. Huh later abandoned the appeal, making the ruling final and leaving court costs to him.

On the afternoon of the 7th, NewJeans’ Hae-rin attended a Dior event held at AVENUEL in Lotte Department Store, Jamsil, Seoul. After resolving her conflict with her agency ADOR and returning to the group, she made her first official public appearance, drawing attention.

ADOR said NewJeans’ 2023 song “Super Shy” has reached 900,048,067 Spotify streams. It is the group’s third track to surpass 900 million, following “OMG” and “Ditto.” The song was a hit on Billboard’s HOT100 and the UK Official Singles Chart, and the group’s total streams are nearing 8 billion.

NewJeans’ Danielle uploaded her first video to her personal YouTube channel, saying she was in Australia and felt a little awkward being alone. She shared that she missed her hometown, nature, the sea, and her family, and said she spent meaningful time with them, eating home-cooked meals and visiting the city and beach. She then revealed plans to begin her first solo journey. The video drew major attention, reaching about 1.8 million views in a day and nearly 300,000 subscribers. Meanwhile, she remains in a legal dispute with ADOR, and NewJeans members are resuming activities through self-produced content and magazine shoots.

NewJeans’ Hyein shared a recent update through Harper’s BAZAAR KOREA, posing in a cover shoot and revealing that she celebrated turning 19 by wearing a school uniform and going to an amusement park. The article also notes NewJeans’ ongoing contract dispute and members’ returns to ADOR.
