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.

Deleted studio post fuels talk of NewJeans' Danielle going solo amid Ador legal row
SEOUL, May 21 — A now-deleted social media post has sparked speculation over possible solo work by Danielle of NewJeans, amid an ongoing legal dispute between the girl group and its management agency, Ador. According to The Korea Herald, American R&B duo Emotional Oranges reportedly shared a photo on Monday showing member Azad Right with Danielle in a studio setting, suggesting a potential collaboration. The image, which reportedly showed Danielle seated while Azad stood behind her, included a caption that read, 'Just wait a little bit. Coming soon,' followed by an orange emoji and a bunny emoji, a reference to NewJeans' fanbase known as Bunnies. Shortly after it was uploaded, the post was removed, prompting online speculation that its deletion may be linked to the legal conflict over NewJeans' exclusive contracts with Ador. An unnamed industry source reportedly 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 announced it had ended its exclusive contracts with Ador, alleging a breach of trust, but a South Korean court later issued a provisional injunction in support of the agency, temporarily preventing the group from pursuing solo or group activities without Ador's prior approval, pending a final ruling. The next court hearing is set for June 5.

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.

Latrell ices 49-metre winner as Souths down Broncos without $4m in talent
Latest posts By the time Wayne Bennett fronted for his post-match press conference, Latrell Mitchell's astonishing 49-metre Friday night field goal was already 'up to 55', in Rabbitohs folklore. With newly re-minted prime minister, and South Sydney No.1 ticket holder, Anthony Albanese hugging the pair in the dressing sheds afterwards, the legend just kept growing. And who are we to argue with surely one of the best match-winners the modern game has seen, securing yet another famous, backs-to-the-wall Bunnies win and a 14-point comeback against the Broncos? Bennett is already sweet enough. But watching one of his all-time favourite players pull off an incredible 22-14 triumph against the Brisbane outfit he so loves beating, well, life just got sweeter. 'He just does what Latrell can do, that's what makes him such a special player,' Bennett said. Asked if had seen a match-winner struck quite so long, Bennett could only chuckle. 'Not for a long, long time, no. He hit it so sweet and I don't think we thought it was going over there and all of a sudden we got excited.' As has been the case all year, Mitchell was off limits to the media after returning from suspension with his State of Origin spot apparently on the line. Again, Bennett could only laugh when asked if he could believe it's even a question. For the record he'd love to see Mitchell miss out on a Blues jumper, not because it would benefit Souths. 'Because I'm a Queenslander.' Surely, it's a moot point considering Mitchell also led without the ball for 70-odd minutes. He drove South Sydney from a 14-0 deficit with the best part of $4 million worth of talent watching from the stands. He then stepped up and won it off his own boot. Mitchell's strike from the halfway line never looked like missing. With three minutes left and his teammates losing their collective minds, Mitchell simply turned, stone-cold, and walked back to his mark as the Rabbitohs clambered all over him. Just for the road, Mitchell added a try to make it 22-14 with the final play of the game. For the Broncos, Ben Hunt limping off late in the second half with a hamstring injury was a galling sight. On first glance, next week and perhaps the Origin opener on May 28 would seem to be in doubt. All eyes were already on Ezra Mam's return to the game on Sunday in Queensland Cup. It's an even bigger watch now if Hunt is ruled out of a round 11 bout with his old Dragons outfit. Michael Maguire was nothing less than fuming like it was 2022 and he was still coaching the Tigers as he deadbatted questions on both Hunt and Mam. 'I'll go through this game before we get to that,' was all he would offer. Loading Maguire was right to be filthy given Souths really had no right to be pulling a dour contest out of the fire. Not with Cameron Murray, Cody Waker, Jack Wighton, Peter Mamouzelos, Alex Johnston and Tyrone Munro all sidelined. But the Broncos, never sure things despite a dominant first half, were slowly worn down. For all Mitchell's undoubted firepower, it was defensively where he stood tallest. A clutch try-saving tackle on Deine Mariner when he looked destined to score in the corner was Mitchell's best play since his last match-winning effort - that pass for Isaiah Tass against the Roosters - on the same turf a month ago. It followed his stopping of a runaway Payne Haas when he was tryline bound. And a one-on-one strip from Brendan Piakura when the Rabbitohs No.1 had no right to rag doll the back-rower the way he did. Mitchell had company too, with Jayden Sullivan thoroughly improved in defence and back-rowers Keaon Koloamatangi and Euan Aitken getting through a mountain of work. Souths could barely fire a shot in attack throughout the first half, before Siliva Havili crossed to open the second as Brisbane's lead was slowly reeled in. As unlikely as the Rabbitohs comeback was, the sight of Isaiah Tass trampling Kotoni Staggs to send Fletcher Myers on his way was just as unexpected. Mitchell nailing the big moments though? By now, you can just about set your watch to it. yesterday 9.49pm Standing ovation for Latrell Mitchell from Rabbitohs crowd Incredible stuff. South Sydney trailed the Broncos 14-0 at half-time. A week ago, they were hammered 30-4 by a Newcastle team that hadn't really looked like scoring 30 points all year. But in the second half tonight they were terrific, and their main man Latrell Mitchell was in everything – try-saving tackles, booming bombs, the match-winning field goal and a bonus try at the death. What a player. Last-minute try seals comeback win for Souths What a comeback. And now the cherry on top. Latrell Mitchell, in the dying seconds of the match, is at dummy half and seems to 'play dead', kneeling down as if he's submitting to a tackle to soak up a few more seconds. The defenders don't react so he picks up the ball and barrels over the line from close range to cap a sensational comeback win. yesterday 9.40pm Hunt injured, Souths testing Brisbane out under the high ball The Broncos have lost five-eighth Ben Hunt to a hamstring injury – bad news for tonight but not the worst timing for the club considering Ezra Mam is available to return next week. We've already had two upsets from two games this round and one big second-half comeback tonight. Are Souths about to produce another? More madness now as Adam Reynolds is seemingly trapped with the ball on the last tackle, only for the halfback to get an offload away and Kotoni Staggs to run the ball and charge 50 metres upfield, eventually brought down on the South Sydney 20 metre-line. It's just about field goal time but the Rabbitohs are settling for booming bombs in the wet from Latrell Mitchell and Jamie Humphreys, and the Brisbane back three is struggling to defuse them. They get the ball back from one here, but the play fizzles out when Tallis Duncan grasses a sloppy pass. yesterday 9.34pm Latrell levels up the scores after disallowed try Chaotic stuff here. Latrell Mitchell puts in a grubber kick, Selwyn Cobbo cleans it up, Mitchell strips it out, a Souths player throws an offload with his foot on the sideline, and Mitchell ends up with the ball and crashes over to score a try that is immediately disallowed. But Souths get the scrum from the initial Cobbo knock-on and they quickly receive a penalty for a high shot. Mitchell knocks over the conversion and scores a level heading into the final 10 minutes. yesterday 9.16pm Bunnies in again with Tass special South Sydney never really looked like scoring in the first half but they're much improved after Wayne Bennett's half-time team talk, this time Isaiah Tass producing something out of nothing on the left edge after busting past opposite number Kotoni Staggs. Tass linked up with his winger Fletcher Myers who drew the final defender and sent the ball back to Tass for a try. The good news for Brisbane is superstar prop Payne Haas is back on the field after his first-half back complaints. Broncos 14, Rabbitohs 12 after 54 minutes yesterday 9.05pm Souths strike first after half-time The Rabbitohs make the perfect start to the second half, getting into attacking territory after a Broncos error. Then Jayden Sullivan makes a half-break but can't find a support player, before fill-in hooker Siliva Havili barrels his way over the line from dummy-half. Meanwhile Payne Haas has returned to the sideline after halftime and looks to be OK. He's got through a warm-up again on the sideline. yesterday 9.00pm Stats snapshot as the second half begins As Latrell Mitchell gets things underway for the second half, let's take a look at Brisbane's statistical dominance of the first.

Minji Writes Emotional Note On Her Birthday Amid NewJeans' Legal Dispute
Last Updated: The group is currently in the middle of a legal dispute with ADOR and its parent company, HYBE, due to contract issues. NewJeans' member Minji recently turned 21. The singer took to social media to share an emotional and heartfelt note with her fans on May 7. In the letter, Minji talked about her current state of mind, expressed her emotions, and thanked fans for their support. Minji's candid letter comes at a time when the group, NewJeans, is facing some challenges. Minji took to the group's social media account to share the letter. The K-pop idol started the letter by addressing her loyal fans, the Bunnies. She then explained to her fans why she had been inactive in recent times. 'I think I've been living a busier life than I realized," she wrote, highlighting that she almost forgot her own birthday. The singer went on to explain that although she had so much to talk about, she was not able to organise her thoughts because her mind was 'cluttered." She then began to highlight the importance of being happy, stating that all she wanted from life was to be happy and to see everyone else happy. 'Chasing only my own happiness by doing what I love may seem naïve to some, but I want today and tomorrow to be happy. I wish the same for your days too, Bunnies," Minji wrote. Minji recalled old times when she could connect with her fans through good music and shared thoughts. She promised that despite the current situation, she had no plans of putting an end to her career, and she'd be back with NewJeans soon. NewJeans is currently in the middle of a legal dispute with ADOR and its parent company, HYBE, as the group attempted to break free from their contract. The court initially ruled against the group and has forbidden the members from pursuing any independent careers. The K-pop group NewJeans consists of five members, including Minji, Danielle, Hanni, Hyein, and Haerin. The group made its debut in 2022 with their single Attention.
