NewJeans’ Danielle recently found herself in the center of an online debate after a clip from her live broadcast surfaced, showing her singing along to “My Universe” by Coldplay and BTS. While some netizens criticized her action, citing the ongoing lawsuit between HYBE and ADOR (NewJeans’ agency), many fans, including ARMYs, quickly came to her defense.

The Live Broadcast and the Controversy
Danielle’s live broadcast, which also featured her sister Olivia Marsh, seemed like a casual and fun interaction with fans. However, the moment she sang along to the popular BTS track ignited a discussion online. A post on an online community criticizing Danielle for singing a BTS song amid the HYBE-ADOR legal battle quickly gained traction, amassing over 100,000 views.
Fans Rally Behind Danielle
Despite the criticism, a significant portion of netizens, including many ARMYs, saw no issue with Danielle’s actions. They argued that the lawsuit involves HYBE, not BTS, and that Danielle singing a BTS song is harmless. Many pointed out the absurdity of the criticism, emphasizing that NewJeans and BTS are not in any conflict.
“Sheโs in a lawsuit with HYBE, not BTS, though? Why is everyone going overboard.โ
โIโm an ARMY, and itโs not like sheโs in a dispute with BTS.โ
โARMYs have nothing against this? Who cares if she sings a BTS song? NewJeans isnโt fighting with BTS.โ
โThe song just played automatically while listening to Coldplay songsโฆit would be even more weird if she skipped the song.โ
These comments reflect the general sentiment that Danielle’s singing along to “My Universe” was simply a fan enjoying music and should not be interpreted as anything more. The overwhelming support from fans suggests that the controversy is unlikely to escalate further.
