A Touching Return After Hiatus Announcement

Danielle, a member of the popular K-pop girl group NewJeans, has made a heartfelt comeback on social media just weeks after the group's hiatus was revealed at the ComplexCon festival in Hong Kong.

Celebrating Her 20th Birthday with Fans

Celebrating her recent milestone birthday on April 11, Danielle took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the outpouring of love from fans, affectionately known as Bunnies.

A Heartfelt Message to Fans

In her Instagram Story, shared on their newly renamed account, mhdhh_friends, Danielle shared her emotional journey while reading birthday letters from fans, stating, "Every letter feels so heartfelt and meaningful... The words of comfort, encouragement, and love you all give—I can feel it so clearly that I can’t help but cry." She emphasized her commitment to becoming someone her fans can proudly support.

Navigating Difficult Times with Legal Disputes

Currently, NewJeans is facing challenges in a legal battle with their record label, Ador. The group has announced their intent to terminate contracts due to mistreatment, while Ador insists that the agreements remain valid. The situation has led to the Seoul Central District Court intervening to prevent the members from engaging in independent activities.

Finding Strength Through Fan Support

Danielle reflected on the difficult times the group is enduring, stating, "There are times I don’t understand myself or my emotions very well. Lately, I’ve been trying to feel my emotions more. But when I read the letters written by Bunnies, my heart feels richer, and I’m able to look deeper into myself."

A Hopeful Message for the Future

Despite the struggles, Danielle conveyed optimism, assuring fans that "the time will come" when they will reunite. She also reassured them about her wellbeing, sharing, "Every day, I’m eating and sleeping well, listening to lots of music, and spending time with my family and members. I really hope Bunnies will stay healthy and spend each and every day happily."
