Yui

Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein for life. No DM. (REST). Only here weekends :(

[Yui @yuijeans]

As promised, I’m stopping my clock at the moment when NewJeans was still five. That’s where my memory freezes. That’s where my loyalty rests. I’m not inclined to support what ADOR is trying to present now as “NewJeans” without Danielle. For me, that name belongs to a specific constellation of people, energy, and history. Once that constellation breaks, it becomes something else.

This is not me pretending to know the future. No one does. No one can honestly say whether this separation will eventually be good or bad for them as individuals. Life doesn’t move in straight lines. Sometimes what looks like a loss turns out to be a hidden blessing. Sometimes what feels like freedom becomes a burden. So I won’t play prophet. I only wish the best for the five girls and the people who love them.

At the same time, I recognize my own bias. I project my worldview when I say that them being together is always a good thing. That may not be true forever. Paths diverge. Growth demands change. People evolve. I don’t want to trap them inside a narrative where they must stay together just to satisfy fans. That kind of loyalty becomes a cage.

But if change had to happen, I wish it came from them. From their own volition. From a shared decision made with clarity and unity. Not something shaped by external forces. Not something pressured by corporate interests. Not something that feels engineered rather than chosen. That difference matters to me.

I’ve never hated a company the way I hate ADOR today. And I don’t say that lightly. Companies are supposed to be neutral. Tools. Vehicles. You support them because they give you something in return. Art. Joy. Meaning. Connection. ADOR used to do that for me. For many of us.

Now, every time I see that logo, I feel resentment. Not excitement. Not nostalgia. Just heaviness. They didn’t protect what they were entrusted with. They didn’t bring happiness. They brought fracture. Confusion. Heartbreak. Not just to me, but to Bunnies who believed in the story they sold us. How do you support a brand that only makes you feel bad? You don’t. That’s when you step away. Not out of spite, but self-respect. I refuse to give life to something that drains me. I refuse to reward a system that turns something beautiful into something bitter.

I still love the five girls. That hasn’t changed. It won’t. My support for them as individuals stays intact. My memories stay intact. My gratitude stays intact. But my participation stops here. This isn’t a call for anyone else to follow me. Everyone processes this differently. Everyone draws their own line. This is just mine. I’m stopping the clock. Not because I reject growth, but because I want to honor what once was, without pretending it still exists in the same way.

Some stories deserve to end where they were most beautiful.

And for me, that moment was when NewJeans was still five.

[Exclusive] Fallout from ‘Min Hee-jin Reverse-Viral Allegations’… “Lawsuit Could Spread to HYBE Headquarters”
https://t.co/FUfB7ORzCI
Reporter Lee Jung-guk

-Min’s legal team speaks out
-HYBE denies allegations as “one-sided claims”

It has been reported that the U.S. attorney recently met by former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin stated that a lawsuit related to TAG PR, a firm suspected of conducting “reverse-viral” campaigns to smear individuals, could be expanded to include HYBE’s headquarters in Korea. Min previously revealed via social media on the 19th that she had met with this attorney.

On the 23rd, Min’s legal representative told Hankyoreh, “The attorney Min met in Seoul, Matthew Donald Umhofer, explained that due to the structure of litigation in the U.S., the scope of the lawsuit could be expanded through the discovery process to include not only HYBE America but also HYBE’s Korean headquarters.” Attorney Umhofer represents Stephanie Jones, founder of U.S. PR firm Jonesworks, who claims she was targeted by defamatory attacks from TAG PR. The reverse-viral website suspected of smearing Min, “minheejin(dot)net,” was revealed through the discovery process in that lawsuit.

According to Min’s representative, Attorney Umhofer gave detailed explanations, using U.S. cases, of how “aggressive PR” operations function. These include creating fake websites targeting specific individuals, producing and distributing maliciously edited videos using past interviews, and artificially amplifying negative public opinion through technical means such as bots. He reportedly explained that such actions could go beyond simple defamation and constitute “illegal civil fraud” by using technology to manufacture false critical sentiment.

The representative added, “Attorney Umhofer pointed out that the structure of the reverse-viral allegations surrounding Min closely resembles the aggressive PR tactics used in the case involving Hollywood actress Blake Lively.” He further noted that “it is difficult to rule out the possibility that TAG PR, which previously worked for director and actor Justin Baldoni during the attacks on Lively, may have repeated similar actions on behalf of HYBE.” It was also mentioned that many of these acts are reportedly substantiated by concrete evidence such as text messages and emails.

It was emphasized that because TAG PR was a company owned by HYBE via HYBE America, the lawsuit could ultimately be directed at HYBE’s headquarters. The representative explained, “Attorney Umhofer’s view is that discovery proceedings would first target HYBE America, headquartered in Santa Monica, and if evidence of coordination or directives from the Korean headquarters emerges in that process, the scope of the lawsuit could be expanded to include HYBE’s headquarters in Korea.” This strategy is seen as leveraging the strong discovery powers of U.S. courts to trace potential organized involvement.

The representative added, “We were told that allegations of a corporation systematically undermining a successful female creator are an extremely sensitive issue in U.S. society,” and said that Attorney Umhofer suggested potential damages could start at tens of millions of dollars (hundreds of billions of won). He concluded, “We plan to proceed step by step following further legal review.”

Allegations that a company systematically defamed and smeared Min were first reported in an exclusive Hankyoreh article on December 10 last year (“‘HYBE-owned PR firm conducted reverse-viral attacks on Min Hee-jin’… Lawsuit filed in the U.S.”).

In response, HYBE stated, “This issue stems from claims made by one party in a legal dispute unrelated to HYBE or HYBE America,” and countered, “We have never been involved in any activities beyond normal public relations work as described in the complaint.”

NewJeans is still the 3rd Most Streamed K-POP Girl Group on Spotify despite not releasing a song for almost 2 years.

[Yui @yuijeans]

If nothing of the sort happens, I will feel that I’ve betrayed myself if I support their future activities, especially given my belief that returning to that company would be torture for them and harmful to their well-being and mental health.

[Yui @yuijeans]

My stance is that I will not support the future activities of the pseudo-NewJeans under ADOR. The only thing that will change this is if Danielle publicly supports their future activities, as I would see it as a sign that doing so is beneficial to the remaining members.

Danielle: “You can’t break us apart”… Emphasizes her bond with the NewJeans members
https://t.co/BFHTtV4u0p
- Posted on her personal Instagram
- News of a 300 million KRW donation over four years also draws attention
By Lee Jeong-guk

NewJeans’ Danielle (Danielle Marsh), who was notified by her agency ADOR o the termination of her exclusive contract and is now facing a lawsuit, shared her thoughts in a lengthy post on Instagram.

On the 16th, Danielle posted a message titled “An Unsent Letter” in both Korean and English on her newly created Instagram account (https://t.co/KYBQeiiTHA), along with a new profile photo. She wrote, “I want to hold deep in my heart the new chapter, the new beginning that we will all face together,” adding, “I’m sure many Bunnies are feeling confused or curious right now. I can’t say everything at this moment, but there is one thing I can say for certain: where my heart is headed has not changed.” Through this, she expressed her love for her fans.

She also emphasized her unchanging relationship with the other members. Danielle wrote, “Minji, Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein are my second family,” and stressed, “Even though the timing of our actions may be out of sync right now, there is nothing that can separate us. That precious bond is something truly unique in the world and never something to be taken for granted.” She continued, “There may be difficulties ahead, but we will protect one another and move forward together. That is what matters most to me,” firmly dismissing rumors of discord among the members.

ADOR previously announced that it had notified Danielle of the termination of her exclusive contract on December 29 last year, stating that she bears responsibility for causing this dispute and for the group’s departure and delayed return. The agency also said it would pursue legal responsibility against Danielle, former CEO Min Hee-jin, and others. ADOR has since filed a lawsuit seeking contractual penalties and damages totaling around 40 billion KRW.

In her post, Danielle also wrote, “There may be times when I feel anxious or afraid, but even then I will try to find something good,” adding, “Even the difficult moments are not ‘impossible’—they are simply moments that need a little more time.” Through this, she expressed her determination to continue working toward resolving the situation.

Meanwhile, Danielle’s quiet acts of charity have become a topic of online discussion. An acknowledgment posted on the website and social media of the child support organization YANA, which recently marked its fourth anniversary, mentioned Danielle as one of its major donors. YANA posted a message thanking donors and volunteers who have “walked alongside” the organization over the past four years, listing Danielle among its key supporters. According to YANA, Danielle donated a total of 320 million KRW over four years and is known to have begun her support in the early days of her debut in 2022.

If NewJeans were only about happiness,
they would be boring,
And this would be a boring story.

@bluejeanznj I got that feeling when she started showing up in public once more, but I didn't welcome the idea that something big had happened.

[Yui @yuijeans]

My heart aches for them. 😔

@LeSV18769284 NewJeans is not NewJeans without the five of them. I don't want to be stuck yearning for a missing member and hating on her replacement. I will definitely not enjoy it.

[Yui @yuijeans]

NewJeans without Dani would only cause me hurt and resentment, so I might as well stop supporting the group if that happens. I stan NewJeans because they comfort me. There's no sense continuing if I'll only get negative feelings.

[Positive Tokki @bluejeanznj]

After 2 weeks, I finally accepted that Dani is not in Newjeans anymore and we will not be peaceful for next 3.5 years.

[Yui @yuijeans]

Korean media should be embarrassed. They should be the ones trying to uncover the truth. It should be their default calling as journalists. I wonder how they can call this simple request embarrassing and sleep at night while siding with a company protected by money and political connections.

[🐇🦋 @NJZBAM2]

Media reporting on the Danielle & Mrbeast situation:

• Korean: “Embarrassing request”

• International: “Even if MrBeast only looks into the situation or mentions what is happening to NewJeans, that alone would feel like a significant outcome.'
