The fact that Daniel from NewJeans made a donation has come to light late. According to the organization Yana, in February, Daniel participated in supporting Lunar New Year meals for single-parent families. According to the content, Daniel sponsored 10 million won (about 1.1 million yen) and sent sets of meat and fruit to 100 single-parent families. Yana added, 'Thanks to Daniel's sharing, the holidays for single-parent families became a little warmer.' Currently, Daniel is continuing legal battles with ADOR. In December last year, ADOR announced, 'We have determined that it is difficult to continue activities as a member of NewJeans and as an artist belonging to ADOR, and we have notified the termination of the exclusive contract today. We plan to hold legal responsibility for one family member of Daniel, who has a significant responsibility for causing this dispute, and former representative Min Hee-jin, regarding the delay in Daniel's departure and return from NewJeans.' ADOR has filed a lawsuit for damages amounting to 43.1 billion won (about 4.3 billion yen) against Daniel, his family, and former representative Min Hee-jin. Recently, it has been revealed that all five lawyers who were serving as legal representatives for ADOR have resigned, raising interest in the future.
