IVE Wonyoung’s Instagram Post Connected to NewJeans (NJZ) Danielle’s Contract Ending
Wonyoung sparks speculation with cryptic “cherry” Instagram post amid Danielle NewJeans contract drama
The controversy began when ADOR officially terminated Danielle’s contract, blocking her return to NewJeans. Fans have been buzzing nonstop since the news dropped.
Soon after, IVE’s Wonyoung posted her first 2026 Instagram update filled with cherries. The images alone caught fans’ attention — but the caption plus the chosen song, Kali Uchis’ “Cherry On Top,” pushed the buzz into overdrive.
Why cherries? They’re famously linked to Danielle. A past viral clip shows her mispronouncing “cherries,” making the fruit a fan symbol for her.
