According to an exclusive report by MyDaily on March 1, Danielle attended the Tokyo Marathon held in Tokyo, Japan, to support runners participating in the event. She has previously shown a strong passion for running, having been active in the running crew “Unknown” alongside singer Sean.
Danielle reportedly attended the event to cheer on Sean and other runners. Actor Lee Si Woo was also said to be present. Witnesses noted that Danielle appeared bright and cheerful, smiling and taking photos with fans.
Netizens reacted with a mix of admiration and surprise. Comments such as “She has many Japanese fans, but this is impressive,” “So proud,” and “That’s really cool” flooded social media. Danielle previously built a strong fanbase in Japan during her activities with NewJeans, making the gesture even more notable.
Meanwhile, Danielle’s public appearance comes amid ongoing legal tensions. In October last year, NewJeans lost a lawsuit filed by their agency ADOR regarding the validity of their exclusive contracts. ADOR later filed a 43.1 billion KRW damages lawsuit against Danielle, her family, and former CEO Min Hee Jin, seeking penalties related to the group’s attempted departure and delayed return.
Danielle has since appointed legal representation and is actively contesting the claims. In January, she publicly shared her feelings for the first time, stating that she “fought until the end to stay together with the members,” a remark that resonated deeply with fans.
As her legal battle continues, Danielle’s symbolic gesture on a historically meaningful day has reignited conversations about her personal convictions and future path in the industry.
