She’s not wrong, but let’s remember MHJ didn’t do this alone. NewJeans themselves insisted on the “we’re nothing without MHJ” narrative — even in court. Danielle’s lawyers are STILL leaning on that argument, asking for ADOR’s requested penalty to be reduced partly on the basis that NewJeans lost value without MHJ at ADOR. One of the biggest plot twists in court was them arguing they were nothing without her, only for ADOR’s lawyers to respond: "that’s not true, you successfully performed in HK without her." And at the time, they obviously couldn’t argue that MHJ was secretly involved in that performance.
mhj robbed newjeans of a lot of things but i think one of the worst things she did to them was alter their legacy to being credited to her instead of them. like there is no reason why jay park should be invoking mhj’s name before the actual members of the group
