NewJeans Members Issue Statement For The First Time Amid Hiatus: “Going Through A Tough Time”

NewJeans, the popular South Korean girl group, made their first Instagram post after announcing their hiatus from independent activities. In the post, written by member Danielle, the singer thanked fans for showering her with lovely birthday messages. FYI: Danielle turned 20 on April 11.

The elaborate note, posted on NewJeans’s official Instagram account, read, “Our time will come. We are going through a tough time. But the music that we will make will be loved by Bunnies, music that will make Bunnies happy, and our time together will come. Until then, we are taking care of ourselves and thinking of you. We hope Bunnies stay healthy and happy every day. We love you,” as reported by Korea JoongAng Daily.

The girl group added, “We have received the letters you sent and they have moved us to tears. Each letter feels so heartfelt and meaningful, and we read them daily. Your words of comfort, encouragement and love have deeply touched us. At times, we wonder if we deserve such love — that is why we strive to be individuals that Bunnies (NewJeans’ dedicated fanbase) can be proud of.”
