‘We Love You Danielle’: NewJeans Member’s Chuseok Celebration Gains Support from Fans Amid Controversy

Danielle has been the center of attention ever since her actions on the Phoning app, which many netizens interpreted as a show of support for former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. However, the idol has recently made a new post that has generated mixed reactions from fans amidst ongoing backlash.

On the 14th, BTS member Jungkook created a buzz within the K-pop community by sharing a post that subtly supported NewJeans while also indirectly calling out Min Hee Jin for dragging the group into the conflict between HYBE and ADOR.

A post shared by Instagram

In response to Jungkook’s post, Danielle’s actions were met with negative reactions, as she posted five hearts representing the NewJeans members alongside a blue cap emoji, which symbolizes Min Hee Jin.

This response drew significant criticism from netizens, many of whom expressed outrage over her apparent support for Min Hee Jin while implying that she “mocked”Jungkook’s good intentions.
