Hanni is an Australian-born singer and dancer in NewJeans, the ADOR group under HYBE that debuted in July 2022. The group broke the usual K-pop mold by dropping songs and videos with no advance teasers, and Hanni was one of its five original members. After a long contract dispute that ended in the label's favor in court, she returned to ADOR along with Haerin, Hyein and Minji. In July 2026 the four-member group came back on camera with a fourth anniversary film series, in which Hanni appears making music on a laptop in a park.
