Acclaimed Country Singer-Songwriter Coffey Anderson Releases Heartfelt New Single "You Can't Spell Hero Without Her"
Patriotic Anthem Inspired by a Wounded Female Veteran Honors Women in the Military DALLAS, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Country music artist Coffey Anderson proudly announces the release of his powerful new single, "You Can't Spell Hero Without Her," a soulful tribute to the courage and sacrifices of women who have served or are currently serving in the U.S. military. Now available on all major streaming platforms, the song blends Anderson's signature country sound with a heartfelt message of gratitude for servicewomen who often go unrecognized. The inspiration for the track came from a chance encounter with Belle, a wounded Army veteran, at one of Anderson's shows. "Belle asked me why I hadn't written a song about women in the service," Anderson shared. "She opened up about the struggles they face and how their contributions are frequently overlooked. That conversation stayed with me." Known for his viral hit "Mr. Red White and Blue," which celebrates male military heroes, Anderson felt compelled to honor women like Belle. A former Staff Sergeant (E-6) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team Leader, Belle served in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In June 1996, she was injured in the Khobar Towers bombing, a testament to her bravery and resilience. "Women in the military are often ignored, and our sacrifices minimized," Belle said. "We don't serve for glory, but it means a lot to be acknowledged alongside our counterparts. This song touches me deeply, and I hope it shows other servicewomen and veterans they're appreciated." Historically, only one woman has received the Medal of Honor, yet today's servicewomen continue to break barriers and inspire future generations. "You Can't Spell Hero Without Her" shines a spotlight on their determination and strength, drawing from real-life stories like Belle's. Stream or download the single on any major platform.

Parents of NewJeans confirm Hanni's new visa, criticize media over privacy breaches
Parents denounce media's handling of personal information The parents of girl group NJZ, formerly known as NewJeans, announced Wednesday via a joint social media account that Vietnamese Australian member Hanni had obtained a new visa on Tuesday through 'proper legal procedures.' They also raised concerns over speculative reports published by local media outlets regarding Hanni's residency status in South Korea, criticizing a lack of verification and fact-checking. 'There has been a flood of speculative reports about Hanni's residency status in Korea yesterday and today, leading to the spread of false information. We would like to clarify the facts to prevent further misinformation,' the NJZ parents said. 'Hanni obtained a new visa yesterday (Feb. 11) through proper legal procedures.' On Jan. 31, the parents created a temporary Instagram account to clarify facts and express their stance on NJZ's ongoing dispute with Ador, a music subsidiary of Hybe, claiming their position had been misrepresented or negatively cited in previous coverage. Ador is NJZ's former agency. The parents further argued that Ador pressured them by using Hanni's visa status as leverage, a particularly sensitive issue for foreign residents in Korea. The agency reportedly emailed them a warning that if they refused to sign a visa extension consent form listing Ador as the affiliated company, Hanni could risk illegal residency. Hanni's E-6 visa, which allows foreign entertainers to work in South Korea, reportedly expired early this month. The issue has been at the center of controversy, as it would directly affect NJZ's planned musical activities over the coming months. Without an extension, Hanni would have been unable to continue working as a K-pop singer here, raising concerns about the group's future promotions and scheduling. The parents also expressed regret over the excessive use of the term 'illegal resident' in local media reports based on unverified information, arguing it fueled false rumors and had even triggered unnecessary public complaints. Hanni, who holds dual Australian and Vietnamese citizenship, was reported as an illegal resident in a complaint filed via the government's online petition service 'e-People,' run by the Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission, on Jan. 10. This followed the unilateral termination of NJZ's exclusive contract with Ador in November, which had initially secured her visa since her debut in 2022. 'Over the past two days alone, nearly 70 articles have been published speculating on Hanni's visa type and expiration date -- private details with no obligation to be disclosed -- resulting in a serious infringement of her rights,' the NJZ parents said. 'It is deeply regrettable that such sensitive personal information, which could only have been provided by Ador apart from the individual herself, has been indiscriminately spread through the media.'

NewJeans rebrand as 'NJZ' amid ongoing legal battle with ADOR
Seoul, South Korea – Girl group NewJeans have officially rebranded as 'NJZ', announcing their decision to move forward under the new name while embroiled in a legal dispute with their agency, ADOR. The five members—Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein—revealed their new identity on February 7, 2025, pronouncing NJZ with each letter individually. Their first official appearance as NJZ is set for ComplexCon in Hong Kong on March 23, where they will debut a brand-new song. In response, ADOR issued a statement expressing regret over what it described as a 'unilateral decision' by the members before any legal ruling had been made regarding their exclusive contracts. The agency reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the NewJeans brand and stated that it remains open to discussions with the group and their legal representatives. Meanwhile, member Hanni has sparked speculation after reportedly refusing ADOR's offer to extend her visa in South Korea. As an Australian-Vietnamese citizen, Hanni previously held an E-6 visa for entertainment activities, which expired earlier this month. According to reports by South Korean media outlet TV Daily, ADOR had prepared the necessary documents for her visa extension, but she allegedly declined to sign them—likely due to tensions between the group and the agency. ADOR declined to comment on Hanni's visa status, stating, 'We cannot confirm this information.' If unresolved, her inability to work in South Korea may lead NJZ to focus on overseas promotions. The legal battle between NJZ and ADOR continues, with the agency having filed a lawsuit against the group in January 2025, contesting their contract termination. The members had previously announced their decision to leave ADOR during a press conference in November 2024, citing contractual disputes. As the situation remains uncertain, industry insiders speculate that Hanni could face further legal complications if she attempts to sign with a new agency while her contract with ADOR remains contested.
