NewJeans' Danielle Hints at Solo Comeback with Emotional Oranges Collaboration

On the 19th, Emotional Oranges, an American R&B pop duo, shared a photo on their official social media featuring Danielle. In the photo, Danielle was seen wearing denim pants, a hoodie, and sunglasses.
The post included an 'orange' emoji, symbolizing Emotional Oranges, and a 'rabbit' emoji, representing NewJeans, along with the caption, "Just wait a little longer. Coming soon." This was interpreted as a hint at Danielle's impending solo activities. However, the post was soon deleted.
NewJeans announced the termination of their exclusive contract last November and began independent activities. However, on the 21st of last month, a court accepted ADOR's request for an injunction to preserve the agency's status and prohibit advertising contracts, preventing independent activities. NewJeans' objection to this decision was also dismissed, and the members have appealed. The second hearing for the lawsuit confirming the validity of NewJeans' exclusive contract with ADOR is scheduled for the 5th of next month.
Meanwhile, NewJeans announced a hiatus in March and changed their social media account name from 'NJZ' to 'mhdhh,' a combination of the members' initials.
