Seeing HYBE/ADOR erase Dani hurts not only because NewJeans as we know it is gone, but because the girls themselves wanted to continue together… even at the cost of their own freedom. They were willing to compromise, to stay caged and silenced in a place that had been traumatic… pic.twitter.com/a3dImxMbK2
