Danielle, a curious blend of K-pop star and intergalactic charisma, was born in 2005, in Newcastle, Australia—an unassuming spot on the planet that could scarcely predict it would launch a half-Korean, half-Australian phenomenon. Her parents, a mismatched duo of Aussie adventure and Korean tradition, seemed unwittingly to have engineered a human capable of effortlessly toggling between two cultures and several key dance moves. Young Danielle, armed with a dazzling grin and an insatiable love for singing, soon found herself propelled to South Korea, where the gravitational pull of K-pop stardom yanked her into a world of glitter and relentless rehearsals. Now, as a member of NewJeans, a group as explosively popular as a hyperspace bypass, Danielle inspires kids everywhere to think, “If she can bridge continents, languages and genres, perhaps I can at least finish my math homework.”
