I listened to music and took a hot shower! I asked the members to stay with me at night. Fortunately, I slept very well yesterday”.
She continued, “Everything happens for a reason anyway. It’s tough now but it shall pass in the end. Like a bad dream or a stormy day! Then you won’t even remember how it all begins”, adding, “I think you just need to endure to get through it”.
Receiving Daniele’s messages, fans also expressed admiration for her mature mindset and sent her supportive words hoping for her good health and happiness.

All tickets for two days of NewJeans’s fanmeeting “Bunnies Camp 2024” to be held at Tokyo Dome in Japan from the 26th and 27th of May have been sold out. The girl group will enter Tokyo Dome for the first time one year and 11 months after their debut, breaking the fastest record for a foreign artist.
Meanwhile, HYBE filed a lawsuit against ADOR’s CEO Min Hee-jin on charges of breach of duty, claiming that the female CEO attempted to take over the management rights of the label ADOR. In response, CEO Min held an emergency press conference to refute all the allegations.
Ahead of the shareholders’ meeting scheduled for May 31st to decide whether to dismiss Min Hee-jin from the CEO position, Min Hee-jin filed a provisional injunction to ban HYBE’s exercise of voting rights. The parents of NewJeans members also reportedly appointed Kang Jin-seok, a lawyer specializing in entertainment disputes, and submitted a petition to the court. It is known that the petition contains support for CEO Min and their desire to work with her in the future.
