Reporters’ Conduct Towards NJZ (NewJeans) Ignites Widespread Outrage

NJZ’s Danielle and Minji face backlash over court entrance chaos amid ADOR lawsuit

NJZ (formerly NewJeans) members Danielle and Minji were caught in controversy on August 14 (KST) after attending a mediation hearing at Seoul Central District Court.

The lawsuit against them was filed by ADOR, but the real chaos happened outside the closed court. Reporters aggressively crowded the two members, pushing and blocking their path while bombarding them with questions. Despite the hearing being private, KBS even broadcasted their court entrance live.

Netizens quickly slammed the reporters for their disrespectful behavior and invasion of privacy during this sensitive time.

“Nasty reporters still asked questions and blocked Danielle & Minji’s way to court even though it was a closed court private mediation, KBS even broadcast it live”
— @CakeDegg

“These reporters all up in their space trying to get a response after writing tens of thousands of hate articles against them…”
— @jeanzified

“Fcking reporter cornering Minji ”
— @ephiechingu

Fans and netizens praised Danielle and Minji for keeping their composure, ignoring the reporters’ provocation, and staying polite throughout.

“GOOD JOB MINJI DANIELLE!!! IGNORE THE REPORTERS BECAUSE THEY WILL ONLY UPLOAD MEDIAPLAY, NOT FACTS…..”
— @breadluvpham

“Still smile like this, bow in greeting and say ‘sorry’ to all the reporters who published thousands of bad articles about you… Minji Danielle… YOU’RE JUST TOO KIND.”
— @breadluvpham

Negotiations between NJZ (NewJeans) and ADOR reportedly fell through, continuing the legal battle between the parties.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing situation.
