While NewJeans’ Danielle released a vlog in Melbourne, Australia, a friend who was also presumed to be a member appeared, drawing attention. Danielle posted a video titled “Sisters in Melbourne” on her YouTube channel “Danielle Marsh” yesterday (the 20th). The video contained Danielle’s recent moments spending enjoyable time in Melbourne with her older sister, Olivia Marsh. She showed herself enjoying croissants and coffee with her sister, and eating ice cream on the street. In particular, a person presumed to be a NewJeans member also appeared in the video, drawing fans’ interest. When Danielle visited a certain house, two dogs who greeted her at the entrance were Hanni’s pet dogs, and voices arose speculating that Danielle had visited Hanni’s family home. Also, with the beach in the background, the backs of two friends wearing hoods appeared. Regarding this, there were also reactions that they might not be members. Not only that, following the scene of eating together with friends, in the latter half of the video there is a scene where, when parting with a friend, they exchange greetings of “Bye,” but some fans are speculating that this friend is also a member. Furthermore, Danielle also showed affection for NewJeans. While visiting the Great Ocean Road during her trip, she pasted a sticker from NewJeans’ Tokyo Dome fan meeting “Bunnies Camp” and said, “It became our special place.” In addition, she posted photos of ice cream in various colors that evoke NewJeans on her own SNS and shared the YouTube link. Danielle debuted in 2022 as a member of NewJeans. Last December, she received notice of termination of her exclusive contract from ADOR. Currently, she is engaged in a legal dispute with ADOR. ADOR has filed a damages lawsuit against Danielle, her family, and former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin.
