Recently, NewJeans’ Danielle held a live broadcast with her sister, Olivia Marsh. In this broadcast, the two sisters appeared in a studio, having fun as they sang various songs together. However, Danielle’s cover of the song “My Universe” by Coldplay and BTS in this broadcast has gone viral, leading to mixed reactions.
In particular, a topic titled “NewJeans’ Danielle Breaking News” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate on February 4, drawing over 128,000 views.
The topic in question criticized Danielle for singing a BTS song, despite currently being in conflict with HYBE – the company of BTS.
However, amid criticisms, many netizens defended Danielle, explaining that NewJeans is in dispute with HYBE and ADOR, not BTS themselves. Additionally, some also brought up how BTS’ Jungkook previously showed support for NewJeans amid the latter’s lawsuit, with an SNS caption showing 5 hearts in NewJeans’ members’ colors and the words “Artists are not guilty”.
Below are some comments from netizens:
She’s in a lawsuit with HYBE and not BTS, so why are you guys criticizing her? BTS has literally nothing to do with the NewJeans – HYBE conflict, people need to stop equating that dirty company with BTS She was listening to Coldplay songs and “My Universe” suddenly played. If she skipped this song, the situation would be even more awkward Who cares if she sings a BTS song? NewJeans isn’t combating BTS If Jungkook can show support for NewJeans, Danielle can sing a BTS song. Stop making storms out of teacups.
