Netizens Call For NJZ (NewJeans) Hanni And Minji To Be Kicked Out Along with Danielle

Reactions from netizens have poured in following the news that NJZ (NewJeans) member Danielle’s exclusive contract with ADOR has been terminated.

On December 29, posts related to Danielle’s removal began appearing across various online communities in Korea. It was reported in Korean media outlets that many female-dominated communities called for Hanni and Minji’s removal as well. In one female-majority community, users argued that “Hanni and Minji should also be forced out.”

Comments reportedly included malicious comments about the girls.

• “Hanni and Minji did what they did but are crawling back to ADOR? Ridiculous.”
• “If Hanni is still in NewJeans, then NewJeans itself is out.”
• “I can’t believe ADOR is accepting them back.”
• “Penalty fees must be terrifying.”
• “I really never wanted to see Hanni or Minji again… now I’ll have to.”
• “Just remove all three of them.”
• “Weren’t Hanni and Minji the worst of them all?”

Male-dominated communities show similar reactions, echoing the criticism.

• “It’s hilarious that those two aren’t leaving.”
• “How are the ‘rice noodle duo’ going to show their faces on broadcasts now?”
• “Let’s remove Hanni and Minji too.”
• “Why are they trying to return to a company they accused of being abusive?”

ADOR’s official stance on the future of Minji, Hanni, and Danielle
Earlier, ADOR released its official position regarding the future of the three members.

“After sincere discussions, Hanni decided to respect the court’s ruling and continue with ADOR. Minji is also in discussions with ADOR, and both sides are continuing talks to deepen mutual understanding. In Danielle’s case, we determined that it would be difficult to continue with her as a NewJeans member and ADOR artist. Today, we notified her of contract termination.”
