NewJeans is facing fresh controversy as rumors of clubbing in Itaewon surface. A post on an internet forum claimed the group was spotted at a club, but only member Danielle is clearly visible in the images, accompanied by at least one other person.
International fans pushed back hard. Many dismissed the claims, pointing out the members are adults and suggesting the post is a "media play." Some identified the pictures as being from G-Dragon’s album release party in February, not a random club outing.

Others think the images actually show attendance at an event for Emotional Oranges, who collaborated with Danielle’s sister. Danielle appears to wear the same outfit and glasses seen in photos with Emotional Oranges members.
Fans accused HYBE of negative media tactics against NewJeans amid ongoing legal disputes with ADOR. Some link this to the fallout after BTS Jungkook’s recent hat controversy.
No official statement has been made regarding these latest rumors. The situation remains under close watch.
