Is NewJeans' Danielle defying court to collab with Emotional Oranges? Insider reveals her solo project 'not in agreement' with ADOR
According to an industry source with direct knowledge of internal affairs at ADOR, NewJeans member Danielle was never granted approval for a rumored collaboration. The project in question involves U.S. R&B duo Emotional Oranges. The insider clarified that any activity involving the group's members must receive prior authorization from ADOR. It is due to the ongoing legal restrictions placed on the girl group's independent promotions. 'The post did go up and was later deleted. It's not fake news,' the source told The Korea Herald. 'However, this (Danielle's collaboration with Emotional Oranges) is not something agreed upon with ADOR, if that's what it is.' Meanwhile, the agency itself declined to comment publicly on the matter. The controversy began when Emotional Oranges posted, then swiftly deleted, a photo. It featured Danielle and group member Azad Right inside a recording studio. The post, uploaded to social media on May 20, included the caption, 'Just give us some time guys. It's coming.' It was accompanied by an orange emoji and a bunny emoji, the latter being a direct nod to NewJeans ' fandom, Bunnies. The timing of the post triggered immediate speculation. Since late 2024, NewJeans and ADOR have been locked in a contract dispute that has left all members under tight legal constraints. The girls attempted to terminate exclusive contracts with ADOR last year over alleged breach of trust. However, the court ruled in favor of the agency through a provisional injunction. This ruling bars the group from launching any solo or group projects without the agency's prior consent until a final verdict is issued. Given these restrictions, the post raised serious questions about whether Danielle's appearance at the studio was part of an unapproved or solo project. The fact that the photo was taken down quickly only deepened speculation that it may have violated the terms of the current legal order. Fans online are divided, with some expressing excitement about a possible international collaboration. Others are voicing concern over the potential implications of such a move, especially if it occurred without agency oversight. As of now, ADOR has not clarified Danielle's involvement in the post or whether any disciplinary action will be taken. The next court hearing in NewJeans' main contract lawsuit is scheduled for June 5. The case continues to draw industry-wide attention due to its implications for idol agency control and artist autonomy.

NewJeans' Danielle hints at solo collab with Emotional Oranges. Was Ador out of the loop?
Industry source says if the singer is indeed collaborating with the American R&B duo, it was not authorized by Ador A now-deleted social media post has fueled speculation about possible solo activity by Danielle of NewJeans, amid an ongoing contract dispute between the girl group and its agency, Ador. On Monday, American R&B duo Emotional Oranges posted a photo of member Azad Right with Danielle on social media, hinting at a potential collaboration. The image showed Danielle seated in a studio chair while Azad stood behind her, gazing in her direction. The caption read, 'Just wait a little bit. Coming soon,' followed by an orange emoji — representing the duo — and a bunny emoji, a nod to NewJeans' fandom, Bunnies. However, the post was quickly deleted, prompting speculation that its removal may be linked to the legal dispute surrounding NewJeans' exclusive contract with Ador. Some fans suggested the post was taken down out of caution, given the ongoing lawsuit over the group's attempted contract termination. Ador declined to comment on the matter. An industry source familiar with the situation told The Korea Herald, 'The post did go up and was later deleted. It's not fake news. However, this (Danielle's collaboration with Emotional Oranges) is not something agreed upon with Ador, if that's what it is.' In November, NewJeans claimed it had terminated its members' exclusive contracts with Ador, citing a breach of trust. However, the court ruled in favor of the agency in a provisional injunction, barring the group from carrying out independent activities without Ador's prior consent until a final decision is reached. As a result, all solo or group activities by NewJeans members must be pre-approved by the agency. The second hearing in the ongoing main lawsuit to determine the validity of their contracts is scheduled for June 5.

Is NewJeans' Danielle going solo with Emotional Oranges collab? All we know about alleged song release amid ADOR feud
Danielle of NewJeans has become the center of intense online speculation. Recently, American R&B-pop duo Emotional Oranges briefly shared a photo of her in a recording studio. The now-deleted social media post was uploaded on May 19, 2025. It hinted at a potential music collaboration between the global K-pop idol and the LA-based music group. Though it was quickly removed, the post left a strong impression, igniting widespread curiosity and debate across fandoms. The photo featured Danielle sitting in a recording booth alongside Azad Right, a member of Emotional Oranges. The caption accompanying the original post read, 'Just give us some time, guys. It's coming,' suggesting that something was indeed in the works. However, its sudden deletion shortly after it began spreading raised eyebrows and triggered a wave of speculation. Fans noted that this wasn't the first time the two had been linked online. Azad had previously shared another picture that included Danielle and her sister. This further fuelled curiosity about their possible musical partnership. While many fans expressed excitement over the possibility of Danielle participating in an international collaboration, others were more cautious. The primary concern revolves around NewJeans ' current legal dispute with their agency ADOR, a subsidiary of HYBE Corporation. A recent court ruling has restricted the members from engaging in any independent schedules or collaborations without ADOR 's official permission. This means that any personal activity, especially those involving external artists, could potentially be seen as a violation of legal agreements. As the image circulated online, netizens voiced mixed reactions. Supporters of Danielle praised her versatility. They expressed hope that she could still pursue music outside of group activities. Some emphasized their trust in her judgment, stating that neither she nor Emotional Oranges would move forward without understanding the legal framework. However, criticism was equally loud. Some users warned that such actions could lead to legal trouble if they breached any active court restrictions. Others argued that the timing was poor given the unresolved nature of NewJeans' legal battle. The deleted post's timing also raised questions about whether it was posted prematurely. Some speculated that Emotional Oranges may have acted without confirming the legalities involved, and took the post down after realizing the potential implications. Despite the heated reactions, neither Danielle nor Emotional Oranges have issued any official statements to clarify the situation. The lack of confirmation or denial has only added to the suspense. Fans are left guessing whether a collaboration is actually happening or if it was merely an informal meet-up misunderstood by the public. For now, all eyes are on Danielle and Emotional Oranges as fans await any form of official comment.
