• NewJeans’ Danielle reveals she's having a hard time sleeping lately amid Min Hee Jin and HYBE’s controversy

    NewJeansDanielle 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
