Aussie K-pop stars Danielle and Hanni of Korean girl group NewJeans cover Australian Vogue and reveal what they miss most about their home country
You may not have heard of them, but Danielle Marsh and Hanni Pham are two of Australia’s biggest musical exports.
The teenagers rose to fame last year as members of the South Korean girl group NewJeans, and are now Vogue Australia cover girls.
The couple showed off their innocent beauty during a photo shoot for the January issue of the prestigious fashion bible.
In the cover image, Danielle, 18, wraps her arms around Hanni, 19, from behind.
In a wide-ranging interview with the publication, the K-pop stars shared stories about their Australian upbringings and admitted that their Australian accents have rubbed off on the other members of their group.

“Dani and I definitely shared a lot of our Australian accent with the other girls. If you give them a few years, I’m sure they’ll sound like native Australians,” says Hanni, who is of Vietnamese descent but born and raised in Melbourne.
“I feel like my Aussie vibe rubs off a bit on the other members,” added Danielle, who is from Newcastle.
The couple also admitted that they miss Australia due to their busy schedules in South Korea and the rest of Asia.
‘I miss being able to see my family whenever I want. What I miss most are the family meals and the regular visits to all my grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts, which I can only do occasionally now,” Hanni said.
“I’m so grateful for my childhood in Australia,” Danielle added.
