UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, NewJeans member Hanni has sparked intense backlash after confirming her contract return to ADOR on December 29, 2025. This news follows the termination of fellow member Danielle‘s contract, leading fans to question Hanni’s loyalty and integrity.
Hanni’s decision to stay with ADOR has ignited a firestorm on social media, with netizens expressing their outrage. Many fans are accusing her of hypocrisy, citing her past comments during court hearings where she was vocal about the alleged mistreatment by the company. Just days ago, she was perceived as a figure championing her group’s departure from the agency.
Critics are now calling for accountability, arguing that Hanni’s return after previously condemning ADOR’s practices is a “slap in the face” to her bandmates. One user stated, “Hanni signing her contract to return to ADOR after throwing Danielle under the bus is beyond disappointing,” highlighting the emotional stakes involved for the group and its supporters.
Social media reactions are widespread, with fans demanding that Hanni apologize to the groups involved, including ILLIT. Comments like “I want to see Hanni bowing to ILLIT” reflect the sentiment that reconciliation is necessary for moving forward.
Further complicating the situation, Hanni had previously stated that “HYBE has no honesty in music,” raising eyebrows about her decision to remain with the company. Critics are vocal, saying she is only safeguarding her career by aligning with a powerful conglomerate. One fan remarked, “But I guess she’s smart enough to know that only a conglomerate’s PR can help her.”
The fallout from this news is palpable, as fans are now questioning not just Hanni’s choices but also the future of NewJeans as a group. The division among fans is stark, with some calling for Hanni and another member, Minji, to be ousted alongside Danielle.
As this situation develops, all eyes are on Hanni and her next moves. Will she address the backlash and attempt to mend fences within the fan community? The implications for her career and the group’s dynamics could be significant, making this a story to watch closely.
