[TV Daily's Kim Jin-seok] Lawyer Lee Ji-hoon from 'Knowing Lawyer' shared his thoughts on Daniel's situation after he left NewJeans.
On January 2, a video titled 'Kill Each Other Now! Daniel vs. Biological Mother vs. Adoptive Mother' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Knowing Lawyer.'
In the video, Lee Ji-hoon criticized Daniel for engaging in volunteer activities during such a turbulent time, saying, "While volunteering is a good deed, now is not the appropriate time for it." He went on to highlight the significant damage caused by the unilateral termination of contracts with NewJeans.
Lee pointed out that Daniel should be aware of the consequences of his actions on others, advising him to reflect on himself. He also suggested that Daniel must cut ties with Min Hee-jin and express his regrets regarding the gaslighting.
He emphasized the importance for Daniel to firmly establish his position in negotiations with the company while distancing himself from Min Hee-jin.
Additionally, on December 29, Adore announced the termination of contracts with Daniel and indicated legal action. The total claim from Adore is approximately 43.1 billion won, signifying an intention to clarify legal responsibilities beyond mere contract termination.
The lawyer's analysis of Daniel's situation reflects a deeper implication beyond mere entertainment news. His choice to engage in volunteer work at a time that calls for introspection and reflection reveals the complexity of his circumstances. The direction he takes in this transitional phase can significantly affect his future trajectory.
As he seeks to recover from a tarnished image, the need to sever ties with Min Hee-jin is likely to play a crucial role. Maintaining connections with her could impede his recovery efforts, signaling the importance of clarifying his stance amid legal complications.
Personal issues of artists often intersect directly with their relationships with agencies. The choices Daniel makes in relation to his company will have a profound impact on his future, and these decisions could ultimately serve as a pivotal turning point in his overall career.
