An online commenter
A user commenting on Danielle’s YouTube upload
“I can't believe Dani, as an individual, can capture and produce that NewJeans feeling while multiple companies and even members of theor original team, like Nayeon Kim, can't recreate it in their new content. NYK, you suck.”

“This proves that the concept alone was not what made them NewJeans ; each member has a spark that completes the vibe of the group. Only once they’re OT5 can they really be Newjeans/NJZ again”
