Controversies
While Olivia did not create any controversy on her own terms, she was dragged into an issue due to the conflict between HYBE/ADOR and NewJeans – the group of her younger sister.
In particular, in early November 2024, Olivia Marsh was announced to be performing at a music festival in Singapore. However, despite such a positive news, a reporter associated with HYBE wrote an article titled “NewJeans is in turmoil but Danielle’s sister will be setting out for an event in Singapore”, leading to backlash as netizens criticized HYBE’s underhanded tactic of targeting Olivia into a matter unrelated to her.
On the other hand Olivia herself mentioned in an interview with Teen Vogue that she did not know much about the ongoing conflict between HYBE/ADOR and NewJeans.
