The current buzz in Korea centers on the individual activities and profiles of former NewJeans members, particularly Danielle and Hyein. Danielle's recent solo travel and YouTube channel launch, amidst ongoing legal disputes with ADOR, have garnered significant attention, showcasing her bright demeanor and new path.
Danielle, born April 11, 2005, is 21 years old as of 2026. A Korean-Australian from Newcastle, Australia, she debuted with NewJeans in 2022 and voiced Ariel in the Korean dub of Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' in 2023. Following ADOR's contract termination notice in December 2025, she is involved in a 33 billion won lawsuit. Hyein, born April 21, 2008, is 18 years old as of 2026, stands 170cm tall, and has a background in child modeling and broadcasting since 2017.
