It seems some NewJeans fans are growing increasingly concerned about the group’s future and have changed sides.
On March 27, several members of NJZ (NewJeans)’ fanbase, Bunnies, parked protest trucks in front of HYBE’s building in Yongsan District, Seoul. The protest called for an end to the conflict and urged open dialogue between NJZ (NewJeans) and ADOR.
The fans who sent the protest trucks urged that the group reconcile with HYBE and ADOR. They asked the group to return to HYBE and stop the legal battle. The concern stems from the latest court ruling to uphold ADOR’s injunction to block NewJeans’ independent activities.
These fans are worried NewJeans would need to halt activities indefinitely and risk the group losing the popularity they have built, leaving the future more unclear for them.
Korean netizens have gathered in a popular online community to share their thoughts on the latest protest trucks sent to NewJeans. They commented:
“They should’ve sent the trucks earlier.”
“The girls who need to see the messages are not at HYBE, though.”
“These are real fans who worry about their future.”
“They should’ve sent this truck earlier, when public sentiment was still positive.”
“If they understood the message, then they would’ve returned to HYBE by now.”
“I don’t think the girls are going to listen.”
“They started the fight, so they won’t easily back down.”
“They are the real fans, but I’m afraid it’s too late for this.”
“Even fans are seeing that there is no chance for NewJeans to win.”
“I don’t want to say anything negative about these fans because they’re the ones who were fighting with Min Hee Jin fans early on. lol.”
“IF the girls would listen…”
“If it takes 3 years, you’ll have no place left in the idol industry.”
“It’s too late for this.”
