Calling the holiday "Chinese New Year" isn't inaccurate; rather, some non-Chinese East Asian people may find it insensitive perhaps. "Chinese New Year" originated in a historical period of ancient Chinese cultural domination in East Asia and was spread to other neighbouring nations/peoples. This was prompted by NewJeans Danielle's controversy and apology for saying 'Chinese New Year'. It just feels like a controversy that is waiting to happen every New Year, some idol will inevitably say Chinese New Year (CNY) instead of Lunar New Year (LNY) and knets will begin to dogpile them and release their sinophobia. It was a small mistake made by her because she might’ve been used to calling it Chinese New Year, and that is why she got forgiven so easily, but 설날 is an important holiday and her saying Chinese New Year makes the C-netz feel more validated because by blood, Danielle is still Korean. But to many international fans, this issue seemed to be no big deal since in the West, the festival is often referred to as “Chinese New Year,” or “Lunar New Year,” interchangeably. After Danielle posted her apology, the issue blew up even more, with many new posts being uploaded on Korean blogging forums to discuss the matter. On Jun 21st, an article titled “New Jeans Danielle Chinese New Year” was posted on various online communities such as FM Korea, Nate Pann, and theqoo. The article contained some messages that Danielle sent to her fans on ADOR’s exclusive communication app for NewJeans, Phoning, on Jan 19th.

Yeah but in fact is Danielle is Korean who work in Korea. Her post is like happy chinese New year when Korean don t celebrate the chinese New year but the lunar New year. It s confusing for non chinese and non Korean people but for them chinese celebrate the chinese New year and the Korean celebrate the lunar New year. Non-Chinese cultures have their own names for the day, so calling it Chinese New Year instead of Lunar New Year can be seen as dismissive of other cultures who celebrate that day especially if you are addressing an international fanbase.

Personally, I think it's just a situational term. Use whichever the people around you will agree with/understand. Be aware that you may find many things closed at that time. Museums, small restaurants and shops may be closed the week of the Chinese New Year holiday. You'll also have to deal with people going back to work when the holiday ends. You don't have to wait for months after Chinese New Year. Even 10 days afterward would probably be okay. The Chinese new year is from the American perspective, because The Chinese came to USA earlier that other Asian Group. My personal view is that you can say Chinese New Year to the other person as long as they are Chinese. Or you are a Chinese you want to wish western people a happy Chinese new year. Lunar New Year is an umbrella term for the 1st day of the year according to the lunar calendar, and Chinese New Year or Korean New Year or Vietnamese New Year (more (in)famously known as Tet) refers to the way it is celebrated in a particular culture. Hanni received hate from China because she wished everyone a Happy Lunar New year (which is the correct way, because it includes everyone who celebrates it) and they still hate her for not saying Chinese but since it's Hani noone came to her defense, so she is least popular in China.This incident also made Danielle more popular in China because
