HYBEstans are going around claiming that MHJ Daepyonim instructed NewJeans to vent to Bunnies. Huh? This was literally a normal thing for the girls. Did they really need instructions to communicate with Bunnies and share how they were feeling? They’ve always done this regularly. These fans have become so accustomed to seeing their idols act like manufactured products that even normal, conversational posts from young women going through an incredibly difficult time seem strange to them. Now they’re even making an issue out of Hanni writing a song for us, while pushing the whole “division” narrative because Haerin and Hyein were quieter during those days. As if Bunnies didn’t already know that Haerin and Hyein have always been the least active members on Phoning. And guess what? We never complained about it because we respect our girls. They chat and engage with Bunnies at their own pace. They chat when they’re free and they go offline when they’re busy. Yes, exactly. Just like every other normal human being. For context, here are the Phoning messages from Minji and Danielle that got these HYBEstans so worked up: Minji: “Hello, Bunnies. The weather is so beautiful today. I couldn’t stand the heat and was eagerly wishing for summer to end, but now that the sky is getting higher and I can feel autumn approaching, I’m starting to feel a little bittersweet. I wanted to come to you and tell you about everything that had happened, both this and that, but it’s already been about a week since I’ve been unable to do so. I wanted to reassure and comfort the many Bunnies who came here to check on me, worried and wanting to offer their support. I wanted to tell you that I was okay, but this time, I just didn’t have the confidence to do that. We don’t even have enough hours in a day to share all the good things with each other, so I feel so sorry that we have to go through all these unnecessary struggles. I feel so frustrated and helpless because there’s nothing I can do to make things right. Honestly, even as I’m writing this now, just like yesterday, there’s still nothing I can do, and not a single thing has been properly resolved. I don’t know how much longer these uncertain days will continue. And perhaps it’s selfish of me to say this, but I really hope that our Bunnies and all of us won’t have to go through any more difficult times like these. I’m sorry for writing so late. Good night.” —- Danielle: “There wasn’t a single day that went by that I didn’t think about you guys though And how you must be feeling I always wanted to show Bunnies only my bright and happy side, but… 🥺 I was so worried about Bunnies, and you were constantly on my mind, so I just couldn’t help but reach out!! 🥺🩷 I can’t stay for long though. ㅠㅠ”

They keep erasing Dani, even from a song she helped write the lyrics for. NewJeans is nominated for the Global TOP 10 category at the 2026 Melon Music Awards, but MMA deliberately edited Danielle out of the nominee introduction video. That's not an accident. It was a deliberate choice. And we all know ADOR and HYBE are pushing that agenda. I don't care whether you choose to vote or not. But at least be aware of what you're voting for. Are you really voting for the girls, or are you supporting FRAUDOR's version of NewJeans?

[TOP ISSUE] Even on the 4th Anniversary of Bunnies Day, Fans Continue to Wait for All Five NewJeans Members… Showing Support for ‘FreeNewJeans’ topstarnews.net/news/article… TopStarNews Reporter Oh Seo-rin As the group NewJeans celebrates the fourth anniversary of its fandom, Bunnies, fans continue to voice their protests. On the 29th, ADOR released photos of members Hanni, Hyein, Minji, and Haerin one by one through NewJeans’ official social media accounts, accompanied by the message, “Bunnies Day, Happy 4th Bunnies Day!” The released photos featured what appeared to be recent glimpses of the NewJeans members, who have been on hiatus since suspending their activities. In particular, the group is now being presented as a four-member lineup following the removal of member Danielle. However, despite the release of these photos, numerous fans celebrated Bunnies Day while expressing their support for all five NewJeans members, including Danielle, using hashtags such as ‘Always With Bunnies,’ ‘NEWJEANS IS FIVE,’ ‘Free NewJeans,’ ‘NewJeans’ Five Are One,’ ‘Either All Members Return or All Contracts Are Terminated,’ and ‘아무리 돌려도 색깔은 파란 바지 ’ Meanwhile, Min Hee-jin, former ADOR CEO and current CEO of OOAK Records, drew considerable attention from fans after sharing a lengthy message written by a fan about NewJeans on her personal social media account. Today (the 29th), Min Hee-jin shared a Bunnies' post on her Instagram Story. The post read: “Please remember that this current hiatus is not a defeat. You are simply taking a temporary pause while fighting for what you believe is right.” The Bunnies member expressed their unwavering affection for NewJeans, writing: “We are not just a fandom. We are Bunnies, and we are NewJeans’ closest friends. The reason we have stayed by NewJeans’ side is not simply because it brings us joy, but because the members mean so much to us. There are no comebacks, no new updates, no music, and no performances. We don't even know whether the members will be able to perform again, but we are still waiting. We are a fandom that grew into one movement alongside five girls. We will wait for NewJeans, no matter how long it takes.” Previously, NewJeans announced the termination of their exclusive contracts with ADOR unilaterally during a press conference in November 2024. After a year of legal disputes, Haerin and Hyein returned to ADOR. ADOR filed a lawsuit in December of the same year seeking confirmation that its exclusive contracts with NewJeans remained valid, and the company won the case. Subsequently, Haerin and Hyein returned to ADOR first last year, followed by Hanni and Minji. However, discussions regarding Minji's return are reportedly still ongoing. In Danielle's case, ADOR determined that continuing to work together would be difficult, notified her of the termination of her exclusive contract, and removed her from NewJeans. ADOR is currently engaged in legal proceedings after filing a damages lawsuit against Danielle and former CEO Min Hee-jin, among others. Last July, on the occasion of NewJeans' fourth debut anniversary, ADOR attracted attention by releasing a new group photo and individual photos featuring the four members, excluding Danielle. However, ADOR stated, “We plan to announce the specific details and format of NewJeans' activities after discussions with the members have been fully concluded.” No information has been disclosed regarding the group's comeback date or future activity plans. NewJeans has been on hiatus for an extended period, with their last release being the double single ‘How Sweet,’ released on May 24, 2024.

The hypocrisy of ADOR celebrating “Bunnies Day” as if nothing happened is unbelievable. How can you celebrate Bunnies, a fandom built around loving and supporting all five members of NewJeans, when your own actions have torn the group apart? You kicked Danielle out and took her to court, while also going after Bunnies who stood up for the girls. And now you want to celebrate the very fandom you’ve hurt, as if a cute post and a few nostalgic memories can erase everything that has happened? You cannot spend months creating division between the members and their fans, pursue legal action against the people who defended them, and then turn around and pretend that Bunnies Day is just another happy occasion. You cannot claim to celebrate Bunnies while disregarding what Bunnies have been fighting for. Bunnies Day was never about a company or a brand. It was about the bond between NewJeans and their fans. It was about five girls who gave us their music and shared moments that meant something to us. You cannot erase Danielle from NewJeans and expect us to celebrate as though nothing is missing. You cannot punish people for defending the girls and then expect their loyalty to remain unquestioned. Bunnies Day belongs to the bond between Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein, and their fans who love them, not to the company that holds their contracts. If ADOR genuinely understood what this day meant, perhaps it would start by acknowledging the damage they’ve done instead of pretending everything is business as usual. We remember all five. We will not pretend that everything is okay just because you want us to. If we’re celebrating Bunnies day, ADOR, you won’t be invited. 😒 #NewJeansIsFive
