On January 19, Danielle sent her fans a message on the fan communication platform Phoning in which she asked, “what r u bunnies [NewJeans’ fans] doing for Chinese new year?”
While Danielle was born in Australia, fans noted that Hanni—who was also born and raised in Australia—referred to the holiday as “Lunar New Year” in her own Phoning messages.Hello, this is NewJeans’ Danielle.
one of those things…LMAO
笑死我了 韩国人破防了 这孩子没有任何错
'apologize for sleeping 2 hours ' wtf
Ks' are so dramatic, k-netizens show a lack of Understanding. There is nothing wrong if Danielle [not a pure breed Korean] had greeted Chinese New Year. Another Kim Jong Un Syndrome is a totalitarian dictatorship with a comprehensive cult.
😂😂 las publicidades en china se les están jodiendo 😂😂
Say what? Why not? Isn't the 'Chinese New Year''s Chinese means 中華 not China.
Danielle did nothing wrong. The apology is unnecessary.
The first day of the lunar calendar was also celebrated in Egypt and Mesopotamia before the invention of the solar calendar. It is not a holiday celebrated only in China. The claim that all lunar first day holidays are of Chinese origin is incorrect.
I'm french and i've long called it 'chinese new year', because i didn't know a lot about it. Now i called it 'lunar new year' because i think it's pretty in my language (nouvel an lunaire :)). Really, this situation is really sad. 😭
It was originally the Spring Festival in China, and South Korea stole everything from China, whether it was culture or clothing. Unfortunately, South Korea does not have its own culture, so it can only learn from other countries.
I thought it was the same thing. She shouldn't have gotten hate. I feel so bad for her 😭😭
Just how toxic are Korean fans? Wtf 😬
y’all are so annoying hello
I am from Australia, and it was called Chinese new year for so long. I feel like only recently they started calling it lunar new year. And even then In some cases it’s Chinese lunar new year…
They have to apologize for everything now
not the 🇺🇸 kpop stan’s in the commentsssss
Is that not…what it’s called?
wtf
I feel bad for her. she already gets hate for the way she looks and then she gets hate for making a minor mistake. knetizens could have nicely educated her but ig not 🤷🏻♀️ she’s from a western world where LNY being called CNY is common. knetizens could have been nice ab it…
Tf they are the same thing Jesus Christ
try to cancel Samsung🥲
That’s what I’ve always called it but now I know American
This was so fucking unnecessary, almost half the world calls it Chinese new year. I have an Chinese aunt and she calls it chinese new year
why would she even apologise? knetz if you got beef with china then just say so instead of forcing danielle to apologise for something completely normal, i wouldn’t even call it a mistake. LNY and CNY are the same thing. Ancient China use Lunar calendar to follow harvest days +
It's literally Chinese New Year here in Malaysia,, like what are they onto bro 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
WHY? WE CALL IT CHINESE NEW YEAR TOO. THE H3CK
she didn’t even needed to apologize 😭 i felt like people were just being salty and they could have just explained to her that it is also known as the lunar year
in europe, people usually call it the Chinese New Year... i get it but still this is doing too much
We call it Chinese New Year too
What the fck is this? lol
To be fair, it all depends on who the receiver of this message is: tho it’s not wrong to call it Chinese New Year, but since she’s based in Korea, and due to all the political tension on and off, sometimes people just get carried away with being politically correct
Happy Chinese New Year!
So christmas will be say GLOBALMAS? hahahah, THAT LUNAR CALENDAR CREATED BY CHINESE and before people jealous of chinese, its called CHINESE NEW YEAR and i dont mind if someone call lunar new year JUST DONT BE ANGRY IF MANY PPL STILL SAY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
Wait not trying to sound stupid but I grew up hearing it called Chinese New Years and just recently learned it’s called lunar, why apologize for something you didn’t know was wrong? Just correct her and move on
one day k-nets gonna tell them to apologize for saying 'hi'
Poor Danielle It’s called making a mistake everyone does it
In Malaysia, we call it Chinese new year or tahun baru cina.
it’s always the knetz that are the most bad and it’s become very embarrassing. they jus want drama atp
Literally Chinese idols are calling it Chinese new year… so what’s she apologising for 😭😭
news outlets here in ph call it chinese new year, is it wrong hmm
So the 'GP' is going to boycott them or what 💀💀
it's also been called chinese new year in aus for most of her and our life (we're the same age lmao). she made a mistake and she's still young. it's not like she was calling the holiday disgusting or shading it somehow
is it not ? guess they gonna have to make Australian apologise too
Erkkk? Calender in my country state CNY which means Chinese New Year. All this while it is Chinese New Year. Why it become problem now? I thought most culture in SK origin from China? Even based on some Law KDrama, some law term still using Chinese Term Why is it a problem?
These knets are too sensitive
I swear the whole of my country calls it Chinese new year and hence I was so confused why is it wrong I have never heard anyone say happy lny only heard happy cny
anyways, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! (frm a fellow chinese) I got red packet, so SLAYYYYY
is it not chinese new year.......
In malaysia almost everyone called it as CNY Chinese New year 😭 what is the problem?
Lolll in my country we always said Chinese new year, lunar new year sounds awkward to my ear
What is next? An idol apologizes for just existing ? Leave this girl alone....
She said she deleted the message after realising her mistake... Couldn't she have apologised and corrected it then and there?! 🤔
I actually thought today is chinese new year tho. Should I issue an apology too. I did not know 😳
imagine kpop idols making a human mistake😡😡😡jail for them😡😡😡😡
Chinese new year comes from the lunar calendar. In countries that doesn’t have ethnic chinese in the population they call it lunar. But essentially it’s almost the same with some cultural difference in celebrating it. Please don’t be mad at her for this. It’s the festive season!
i believe some aussies said that in australia they know it as chinese new year, and she may have got confused
its the same thing ffs
I think it's just a difference of culture. Many countries are using 'Chinese New Year' but i haven't ever heard about that. I think that most of the Korean will be like me. So Danielle don't need to be blamed cause she'd been Australia for a long time
Knetz being knetz again.. anlala bruh 💀
It's the same tho? 😅
It’s always been called Chinese new year… idk why Koreans mad at this
It’s Chinese New Year in my country. Always have been this way.
My country also calls this Chinese New Year 🧧Happy Chinese New Year ตรุษจีน what’s wrong with that? I don’t understand. Similar to Songkran which is Thai New Year.
Yall need to stop making this a big deal. Like it's spreading like wildfire and she already said sorry omg.
So do we filipinos need also to apologize Like sorry korea
Theres no way…
I get countries having tensions between each other, but Lunar new years is based on Chinese lunar calendar and that’s where the event’s from
Nothing wrong, 95% of diaspora celebrating it is ethnic chinese, all non-chinese nations that celebrate it is does so due to historical cultural influence from china.
it is correct to call it cny，why they always so sensitive
they sick in the head
Chinese New Year is a SPECIFIC Lunar New Year. Every country that uses the lunar calendar has their specific LUNAR NEW YEAR. So try to understand why if your are not Chinese and your nation is using the Lunar Calendar and you refer your new year as Chinese New Year, insensitive.
The people who made her apologize is so sensitive
ga jelas cok
Bbuingbuingbish i have a chinese friend and they say chinese new years
in malaysia now we celebrate chinese new year. its been like so many yearsssss so she is not wrong tho 😐
pretty much everyone who lives in the Western hemisphere calls it chinese new year.
That’s what it’s literally called, people are so oversensitive 😵💫
all of that hate just because She say Happy Chinese New years I guess they don't go to school
Westerners want to influence the world and rename culture. Is Chinese new year period. Only Chinese celebrate this auspicious day.
Im lost because on my Twitter it says Lunar new year is trending WITH Chinese new year people are saying both
a los coreanos les enoja cualquier cosa que tenga que ver con china
Why is she apologizing for this? A lot of people call it chinese new year. It's originated from china anyway
Aiyo.. it’s a festive season for some. It’s not their culture therefore it’s easily misunderstood. She’s just trying to wish people and end up having to apologise for that gesture. Speechless.
Bro, wait am I canceled too? I also said Chinese new year to my Chinese friends but they didn't say anything😭 I either said Happy lunar new year or Happy Chinese new year 😭 someone tell me.
In the states it was taught as Chinese new year.
TF?
Kpop fan..netizen nowadays 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Okay now kpop idol can’t even say “Chinese New Year” Knet need to grow up and stop digging dirt to Danielle 💀
The Chinese New Year in China is different from the lunar calendar.
at this point, its just fucking ridiculous
Between the thing with Jay and now Danielle, HYBE makes their idols apologize to their Korean fans for the most trivial things-
I said it as Chinese new year cuz im more familiar with it
sigh
Bro yall srs gotta leave danielle alone she only said 'chinese new year' and is that bad? 💀
You urge Chinese people to be generous, not to care about happy “Chinese new year” or “lunar new year”, while forcing “Chinese new year” speakers to apologize. It's ridiculous. Your tolerance is as small as the genitals of men in your country👌
Koreans really desperate to disassociate themselves with Chinese
:( actually that's how it's known in western places. Good to know so that way we all can be educated.
As a fan, we never forgive her
Aik betul la bodo chinese new year...apa sial 4th gen punya stan ni
bruh 😑😑
.................😑
they just wanted to get her 😭
in australia we mainly say chinese new year !!
Se disculpan por todo… aburre. Ya ni un paso podrán dar sin disculparse después 🤦♂️
Earlier today, b4 I saw this article, I actually was curious about what non Chinese Asian people call this holiday and they call it Lunar New Year, Tet and Seollal so not all Asians call it CNY even if Westerners give it a blanket name. 😊
Before people say “oh its not a big deal in my country” go learn about relations of Korea-China and Vietnam-China. Plus, they’re not the same thing, the 3 countries celebrate it in totally different ways and with different customs. Calling them the same is just wrong.
Ugh, she's only 17. People out there expecting these kids to be well versed, all knowing in everything. People need to stop going after these entertainers for making innocent mistakes.
Maybe saying anything about China is a sensitive thing in Korea and in some countries, that’s why people criticize her
Why though? Everyone but the people who made apologize call it that...
Y'all crazy
People in my country also called that way, even they shortened it become CNY. Apologize but i alsoa had no idea that it should be Lunar New Year tho.
Wait... Is it not a Chinese New Year? I live in Malaysia and thats what we call them.
don't know her but chinese new year is legit.
It's originally china thing love it or hate it
Lmao
Gila
But that’s how it was taught to me in school
Literally WHO is “deeply offended” by referring lunar new year as Chinese new year? I get correcting her and letting her know it’s technically ‘lunar’ but to make her feel like she had to apologize as if she made some horrendous mistake. these Korean netizens NEED TO GET A GRIP!
This is so unnecessary and a honest mistake what is wrong with people IDOLS ARENT PERFECT read it again IDOLS ARENT PERFECT!!!!
Is she wrong?
Better than me
Cancel culture at its finest
My girl did nothing wrong
at this point all idols gotta apologize for the smallest things 😕
they will write an apologize letter for breathing next time
2023 and knetz being knetz
This is so stupid, isn’t the celebration originally from China anyway?
Negara korea ni aku tengok makin toksik. Semua kena mintak maaf. Phuii
Instead of hating maybe just educate them, ok not everyone of us knows certain things! I just learned about it!
STAY AWAY FROM HER! GET A JOB!!!
The only thing Danielle needs to apologize for is for being too damn gorgeous! 😍
It’s never that serious. She made a mistake
qué pecado los idols parce por lo que se tienen que disculpar
soooo, kpop fans want to be cancelling idols for anything these days
Technically it’s the same
People should just apologize for existing 🫶🏼 fr people are so bored lately 😑
😭😭😭
Ridiculous
Next time they have to apologize for sleeping.
Whats wrong with calling it Chinese New Years. As if Chinese is something bad ? Like wth.
Danielle needs to apologize; meanwhile Lay, a Chinese man:
I'm not even korean and I know koreans don't call it Chinese New Year.
Bruh I used to call it Chinese New Year
this is so Australian, this is what it is referred to here.
In France, it's litteraly 'Nouvel an chinois' 👀 They need to stop to make idols apologize for everything....
Where i live its called like that 🤣
Isn't it the same? Istg Koreans get mad over the littlest things possible..later on an idol will apologize for breathing
We always call it chinese new year. Has it changed? When?
this generation is so easily offended like can yall pls get a grip and not take everything seriously. yall want to be so considerate in everything 'its offensive to this to that' its damaging the society and giving more anxiety to people
These knetz inferiority complex towards chinese is insane. In our country we call it chinese new year too coz it's still the same.
happy chinese new year for koreans only 💀💀
I thought that was the same, no wonder the Chinese grocery store owner gave me weird look when I said happy Chinese new year to her.
Lay literally said the same thing…y’all are just tryna find problems for no reason💀💀
I was today years old when I learned it’s not Chinese New Year
…and Yixing (a Chinese man) just wished a Chinese New Year on his SNS. Y’all like blowing non issues out of proportion
The fact that she mistakenly called that on PHONING. An application made for FANS. Those so-called bunnies are disgusting and toxic FR, im done.
some of y’all would drag ppl for the dumbest reasons ever…
wait- i thought it was also called Chinese new year and lunar new year😀
anw she's soo pretty, stan danielle !!
Apologizing for doing nothing people in the industry who really need to apologize knetz don’t push them to they better leave Dani alone
y’all get mad for everything i swear it’s annoying
I thought only Chinese people celebrate it around the world
koreans like to steal and the one refusing to steal are criticised. it's ONLY CHINESE NEW YEAR, you folk
She didn’t have to apologize
Lunar New Year is part of Asian culture and not only China. I think that’s why people are mad at Danielle.
Here it is just known as chinese new year..i dont think there is a translation for lunar new year
Huh? Well it's also chinese new year so she wasn't really wrong
posts should be re checked by staff and managers before posted so this kind of mistakes won't happen and most importently the idols won't get unnesecary hate over a greeting
Why does she need to apologize? 💀
Next article will be about an idol apologizing for breathing😑
ok
Danielle didn't know so it's fine but I don't think she should've apologized.
Next time they're gonna apologize for blinking wrong
I mean... She's not even doing something wrong
wait bukan memang chinese new year kah? itupun kena kecam mende
why is bad call chinese new year? please educate me
