On December 16th, NewJeans member Danielle shared a video on the new Instagram account, writing, "Happy birthday, Daepyunim (CEO). From little Dazzi boo (from little Danielle)." 

The video features a young Danielle singing a birthday song, capturing attention for its nostalgic charm. Min Hee Jin quickly liked the post, showcasing their close connection.

NewJeans recently held a press conference where they announced that their exclusive contract with ADOR had been terminated as of November 29th. They claimed the termination was due to ADOR’s failure to fulfill its obligations to protect the artists, which they argue constitutes a breach of contract. As a result, they stated that they are not liable for contract termination fees or compensation.

In response, ADOR countered these claims, and related organizations such as the Korean Management Union, Korea Entertainment Producers’ Association, and Korea Music Content Association issued statements, arguing that NewJeans’ unilateral termination of the contract was unjustified.
