Despite the storm surrounding them, NewJeans continues to keep their fans — lovingly known as Bunnies — close to their hearts. On April 11, in the early hours of her birthday, member Danielle broke the group’s silence with a deeply heartfelt message posted through their new social media account, mhdhh_friends. This marks the group’s first public update since wiping their Instagram clean and following the court’s recent objection hearing regarding their ongoing dispute with their agency, ADOR.
In her letter, Danielle opened up about the emotional rollercoaster the group has been experiencing. She warmly thanked Bunnies for the birthday wishes and handwritten letters she received, sharing that she reads them often — sometimes even moved to tears. She expressed how the sincere words of love, support, and understanding from fans have been a major source of comfort during these challenging times.
Danielle admitted that while the overwhelming love they receive can be intimidating, it motivates the members to grow both as artists and individuals. “Honestly, sometimes we’re afraid of receiving so much love. That’s why we try hard to become people that Bunnies can be proud of. We’re going through a tough time right now, but we gain the most strength when we connect with you,” she shared, as reported by Kbizoom.
Reflecting further, Danielle revealed how fans’ messages have helped her and the members better understand themselves. She confessed, “Sometimes, it even seems like you know us better than we know ourselves. There are times when I don’t understand my own feelings, but lately, I’ve been trying to feel them more. Your letters help us look deeper into our hearts and fill us with warmth.”
Though their official activities are currently paused due to the legal situation, Danielle reassured fans that the members are focusing on their well-being: spending time with loved ones, eating and sleeping well, and leaning on each other for strength. She emphasized that thoughts of eventually reuniting with their fans — and their continued love for music — are what keep them moving forward.
Danielle closed her letter with a beautiful tribute to their fandom, calling Bunnies their “universe” and wishing each one health, happiness, and love, no matter where they are in the world.
The heartfelt post comes after NewJeans transitioned to their new Instagram handle, mhdhh_friends, on April 4, wiping all content from their previous account, njz_official. The new account name is believed to represent the members’ initials: Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein.
Meanwhile, the legal battle between NewJeans and ADOR continues. The group has filed to terminate their exclusive contracts with the agency. A closed-door hearing regarding their objection to the court’s prior injunction took place on April 10 and lasted only ten minutes, attended only by legal representatives. A final court ruling is expected soon, leaving the group’s future uncertain.
However, one thing remains unwavering: the powerful bond between NewJeans and their fans. Danielle’s letter stands as both a touching thank you and a quiet promise — that no matter what lies ahead, NewJeans and their Bunnies will face it together.
