ADOR has sparked significant outrage with its supposedly celebratory post on NewJeans member Hanni’s birthday.

Hanni, who turned 22 on October 6, has been mostly out of the public eye except for professional commitments, much like the rest of the NewJeans members since their return to the label after a lengthy legal fight. ADOR still made a post on Hanni’s birthday, continuing her tradition of sharing a birthday-special playlist.
However, fans were left irked that the playlist was locked behind a paywall on Weverse, even though the idol had previously shared her birthday playlists for free with all her fans, along with heartfelt messages.
