ADOR is making shocking changes to NewJeans across every platform, and what's happening to Danielle has fans extremely concerned. While Hanni confirmed her return and Minji remains in talks with ADOR, Danielle has been completely removed from Weverse, Spotify, and even the Rhythm Hive game. The company terminated her contract and is now suing her for $30 million alongside Min Heejin, but ADOR's CEO is still following both of them on Instagram. Meanwhile, fans discovered that words like "NewJeans are five" and Danielle's name are reportedly banned on the Phoning app, leading to censorship accusations as the group transitions to OT4.
But that's not all—rookie groups are facing a massive sales crisis. KiiiKiii's Delulu Pack sold only 41,000 copies in its first week, a devastating 80% drop from their debut album which moved over 200,000 copies. ZEROBASEONE's special album RE-FLOW shocked fans with under 70,000 first-day sales despite being million-sellers, though the limited production explains the numbers. Plus, MOMOLAND's Nancy just landed the lead role in the first-ever Korea-Nigeria K-pop Afrobeats film project.
Is ADOR preparing for a full NewJeans rebrand, or is there still hope for OT5? Let me know what you think in the comments below!
