NewJeans’ (NJZ) Danielle Tears Up During Her First Public Appearance Since ADOR Contract Termination
NewJeans‘ (NJZ) Danielle held a live broadcast on January 12 on her brand new personal YouTube channel.
Ahead of the broadcast, Danielle’s team announced that she would only address fans and would not discuss the lawsuit that ADOR has filed against her, her family members, and former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin.
However, it seems the former NewJeans star couldn’t ignore the emotions surrounding the situation, as the second the live broadcast started, she instantly teared up.
It’s been a very long time. And I’ve carried this moment with me. Sometimes, late at night, I would read the letters, the messages that you sent me. Not loudly, just enough.
— Danielle via YouTube live
As she spoke and shared the rest of her thoughts, the idol grew increasingly emotional. Multiple times, Danielle had to stop speaking to remain composed.
Understandably, this has sparked huge reactions among NewJeans fans.
