NewJeans Returns Without Danielle for Comeback
NewJeans, a popular K-pop group, is returning for their comeback after a two-year hiatus.
However, one of their members, Danielle, will not be part of this comeback.
Fans are disappointed because Danielle won't be returning.
The group's agency, ADOR, has been in a legal battle with the members over contract issues.
The members wanted to work independently, but the court ruled that their contracts are valid until 2029.
This means they have to stay with ADOR for now.
The group first became popular with songs like Attention, Hype Boy, OMG, and Ditto.
