Unusual! NJZ (NewJeans) Danielle’s Recent Outing With Senior Singer Sparks Mixed Reactions

NJZ’s Danielle is facing controversy over her frequent public appearances with first-generation idol Sean from YG Entertainment’s Jinusean.

The drama started after Danielle was spotted multiple times hanging out with Sean during the past year. This was while legal trials were ongoing and even after Danielle and the rest of NJZ said they would return to ADOR.

Most recently, Danielle and Sean were seen together at an event, sparking a fresh wave of speculation online.

Fans are divided. Some feel Sean is being supportive. Others say it looks suspicious given their age gap and Sean’s senior status in the industry. Conspiracy theories about contract deals or career boosts have surfaced.

Here’s what netizens are saying:

“Maybe he is going to buy hers contract from Ador and relaunch her through his companyotherwise why would they be together soon much??”

“They’re always glued to each other they go out for a run together at 4 a.m., attend events side by side, take photos and eat together, and spend a lot of time with us. So are they in a relationship? Because everything they do makes it seem like he’s her boyfriend .”

“The amount of time she spends with this man is slowly starting to feel a bit weird. I don’t suspect anything sinister, but something is starting to feel ‘off’”
— @Immadmad0613

“It’s slowly becoming a tiny bit weird.”
— @SinanKpop

“I’m actually curios what tokkis make of this, like is it just a person she knows and this means nothing or is there an end goal of him keeping on ‘promoting her’ for a lack of a better world”
— @imsonicepromise

“I’ll say it again, this guy gives me bad vibes ”
— @ForMyARMOAs

Twitter users even posted photos of the duo at events together.
