Danielle from NewJeans has shown her love for the group’s fans, Bunnies, while navigating the ongoing issues with their agency.

On September 17, Danielle posted a warm message on NewJeans' official account, saying, "To our always grateful Bunnies~ Please forget all your worries for a while and enjoy a joyful and warm time with your loved ones this Chuseok.” She also shared a photo with the caption, “Love you, Bunnies.”

The photo features behind-the-scenes moments from a Chuseok-themed hanbok photoshoot, shared earlier on the 13th. Danielle is seen wearing a stunning traditional Korean hanbok, highlighting her unique charm.

Former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, who was also involved with NewJeans, posted the hanbok photoshoot, showing her deep affection for the group.

Meanwhile, ADOR’s parent company, HYBE, filed a complaint against Min Hee Jin on April 25, alleging a breach of duty.

On August 27, Kim Joo Young, former Chief Human Resources Officer of HYBE, was appointed as ADOR’s new CEO, leading to Min Hee Jin being removed from her role after almost three years. Min Hee Jin argues this was an unjust dismissal, while HYBE maintains it was a legal change.

On September 13, Min Hee Jin requested an emergency shareholder meeting to reinstate ADOR’s inside directors, with the court's decision pending.

During an emergency live broadcast on September 11, NewJeans (Minji, Hyein, Haerin, Danielle, and Hanni) expressed their desire to continue under ADOR with Min Hee Jin.

Danielle said, “We originally wanted to return to ADOR. We’re not asking for anything more. I think if we do our jobs well, it will be enough. On a human level, I hope you stop harassing our CEO Min Hee Jin. It’s pitiful, and HYBE seems inhumane. What can we learn from such a company?”

Minji added, “We want ADOR to return to how it was with Min Hee Jin as CEO, blending management and production. We hope to find a peaceful way to coexist with HYBE.”

She ended with, “If our message has been understood, we hope Chairman Bang and HYBE will make a wise decision to restore ADOR by the 25th. Thank you for listening.”

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.
