HYBE Under Fire for Connecting NewJeans’ Danielle’s Sister to Recent Controversy

Olivia Marsh, sister of NewJeans member Danielle, is slated to take the stage at the Yuewen Music Festival on December 28, 2024. This festival marks her inaugural international tour, where she will travel to several countries, including Singapore, China, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and South Korea. The event will also see performances by well-known global talents like Afrojack, ITZY, Daesung, and the duo of Red Velvet’s Irene & Seulgi, among various other artists.

While Olivia Marsh’s exciting festival appearance is celebrated by many, a reporter from 10Asia opted for a controversial headline in their article, stating, “NewJeans is in turmoil but Danielle’s sister will be setting out for an event in Singapore.” This attention-grabbing title appears to overshadow Olivia’s significant accomplishment, instead emphasizing the drama involving NewJeans.

In light of this, fans voiced their frustrations, fearing that Choi Ji-ye’s portrayal of Olivia’s upcoming performance was more about generating controversy than honoring her success.

Numerous netizens took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with HYBE, implying that they were unnecessarily involving Olivia in a media controversy. Their reactions included:

How do these two even connect?
Is she just supposed to remain idle? This is absurd!
HYBE is making a legendary spectacle out of this. Who’s really in crisis?
This situation is outrageous. What’s the connection?
These people are now targeting families? How low can they go?

Olivia Marsh recently debuted at the prestigious SXSW Sydney event, where her performance was met with enthusiastic support from international fans and accolades from music industry experts. As the inaugural artist under the global label MPLIFY, Olivia made her official debut with her single “42” on October 16.
