About Danielle
Danielle June Marsh, born April 11, 2005, was a main vocalist and one of the standout faces of NewJeans. Known for her visuals, vocals, and songwriting contributions to early hits like Attention, Danielle attracted a loyal international fan base. She also made waves in fashion, serving as a global ambassador for brands including Celine, Burberry, and YSL Beauty.
Why Danielle Left NewJeans
On December 29, 2025, ADOR announced that Danielle’s contract had been terminated, making it impossible for her to continue as a NewJeans member.
The group became involved in a long-running legal dispute with ADOR that began in 2024, when the members tried to operate independently. The courts later ruled for ADOR and confirmed that the contracts remain valid through 2029.
Fan Reactions
Fans, known as Bunnies, were shocked by Danielle’s departure, noting that her voice and presence were integral to the group’s identity. While the lineup has changed, NewJeans’ global influence and popularity remain strong, with anticipation high for upcoming projects and performances.
With four members now officially in the group, NewJeans continues to have a promising future. Danielle’s exit marks a turning point, but the group’s impact on K-pop and global pop culture continues to grow.
