    The latest photoshoot and interview featuring NewJeans' Danielle have just been unveiled.

    Marie Claire Korea has shared the cover of their May issue on their official social media on April 16. The cover is a collaboration with Danielle and the high-end brand CELINE.

    Danielle, who has recently been appointed as a global ambassador for CELINE, has caught everyone's eye by fashionably donning outfits from the brand's 2024 summer collection.

    During the interview, which took place alongside the photoshoot, Danielle shared her thoughts about the much-anticipated NewJeans comeback happening next month.

    She said, "This comeback is something I'm personally looking forward to. It's a blend of all the songs, styling, and the overall vibe of this album."

    She further added, "I can't wait to reconnect with those who've been patiently waiting. NewJeans is all set to bring something fresh to the table, while staying true to our unique style."

    She went on to say, "The messages and letters of support from our fans, the Bunnies, give me strength." She expressed her eagerness to perform again, saying, "I can't wait to declare my love for the Bunnies on stage and enjoy the music that NewJeans has prepared, together."

    Speaking about her distinctively positive personality, Danielle said, "If someone feels happy because of me, that's a blessing for me. One of the reasons I chose to be a singer is because I wanted to spread joy through music."

    She shared, "Just like how music has comforted me for a long time, I want to do my best to be someone who can bring joy and healing to others."
