NewJeans Fans Criticized for Recent Behavior

NewJeans is facing controversy after fans urged contacting the Korean president over idol Danielle’s removal.

The drama started when some fans pushed others to DM President Lee Jae-myung and the Blue House for government intervention. They want help against what they say is unfair treatment by HYBE and Bang Si Hyuk.

A fan tweet went viral, calling for a protest from December 31, 2025, to January 6, 2026:

[NewJeans Fandom Protest Petition]

Korean Bunnies, please send via fax, and foreign Bunnies, please send to President Lee Jae-myung via mention or DM!

@Jaemyung_Lee
We must use all means to inform about the misdeeds of HYBE/Bang Si Hyuk.

Protest Period: 2025.12.31.-2026.1.6.

Korean netizens slammed the move hard.

They questioned why fans dragged politics into a company issue.

Some comments from online communities:

Lee Jae Myung is busy. Just go away.
Can’t we sue them for getting in the way of work? What’s up with them.
Why would you ask the government about entertainment issues?
Crazy.
Don’t act up now, BFFR. The president is busy.
Are they insane?

The backlash centers on how fans’ actions are seen as excessive. Many say contract issues and company decisions shouldn’t involve the president.

Critics worry this kind of protest might hurt NewJeans’ image instead of helping it.

The situation is still unfolding as fans and netizens debate where to draw the line in idol controversies.
