Overview
- In a nine–ten minute livestream on Instagram and YouTube, Danielle thanked supporters, grew emotional, and said she tried to stay with the members, calling this phase a beginning.
- She declined to discuss case details and said she would update fans when appropriate, as her legal team described the session as purely for direct communication with fans.
- ADOR terminated her exclusive contract on Dec. 29, 2025, and has filed civil suits seeking about 43.1 billion won in penalties and damages against Danielle, a family member, and former CEO Min Hee-jin.
- The agency alleges conflicting contracts, unauthorized activities, and reputational harm, while Danielle has appointed counsel and plans to contest the claims.
- Courts have upheld ADOR’s contract position in injunction and initial trial rulings, with Hanni, Haerin, and Hyein returning under the agency and Minji’s status still under discussion.
