NewJeans’ Danielle recently opened up about his feelings amidst the ongoing disagreement between Min Hee Jin, the head of their agency ADOR, and HYBE, ADOR's parent company.

On May 19th, Danielle reached out to fans via the Phoning platform, sharing, "Honestly, I've been having trouble sleeping lately. I've tried different things - listening to music, taking warm showers. "

She added, "I even asked some of my group members to keep me company at night. Luckily, I had a good sleep yesterday."

He continued, "There's a reason for everything, right? It's tough now, but this too shall pass. Like a nightmare or a stormy day! Soon, we won't even remember how it all started," and added, "It's just a hurdle we need to get over."

Fans who saw this message admired Danielle's mature outlook and sent him wishes for good health and happiness.

On May 8th, Danielle expressed his gratitude to fans for their concern and support, saying, "Thank you so much for your worries and support. My heart feels heavy these days, but I'm working hard and preparing for our Bunnies [NewJeans' official fandom], so don't worry. There's a lot to look forward to in the future."

NewJeans, the group Danielle is part of, is set to release a double single 'How Sweet' domestically on May 24th. They will also announce their local debut single 'Supernatural' in Japan on June 21st.

Despite the current confusion, NewJeans continues to ride a wave of popularity. The second round of tickets for the NewJeans fan meeting 'Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome', scheduled for two days on the 26th and 27th of next month at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, sold out completely.

This puts NewJeans on track to set a new record for the fastest foreign artist to perform at the dream stage, Tokyo Dome, just 1 year and 11 months after their debut

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
