K-Netizens were surprised at ADOR’s decision and garnered massive reactions online.

• “It’s going to be funny if they go ahead as a four-member group.”
• “So they’re actually accepting them back…”
• “Danielle’s family member must’ve been really adamant… usually family members try to persuade them.”
• “I guess Danielle thinks it’s ok if she stops being an idol.”
• “It’s funny to think of the people who criticized Hanni…they probably never thought she would return.”
• “It’s so surprising that they are accepting Hanni and Minji back. I hope Hanni apologizes to ILLIT, Kim Jooyoung, and LE SSERAFIM.”
• “I guess there was a problem…but they indeed need to take legal responsibility. Think of all the damage that came from the group halting activities.”
• “Are they really going to be something, though, even if they return?”
• “Then I guess it’s only going to be Hanni singing when they return. Danielle was the only one who maintained her visuals…if she leaves, the remaining members’ image is a bit ambiguous.”
• “It’s so freaking hilarious how Hanni went all out at the National Assembly, only to return to ADOR.”
• “They probably discussed for at least a month, but to see that they still haven’t come to terms, then they should let them go. I guess they had some unreasonable demands? But seeing how four of them returned, you can see where the unreasonable demands were made.”
• “I wonder what Danielle’s family member did for ADOR to take legal action.”

Meanwhile, Hanni has decided to return to ADOR while Minji is still in discussion with the agency.
