NewJeans’ Fan Messaging App Revises Banned Words List, Sparks Widespread Backlash

NewJeans is facing backlash after the NewJeans Phoning app banned specific words and phrases.

The controversy began when fans discovered a list of banned phrases on the app. These include “NewJeansAreFive,” “FreeNewJeans,” “FreeNJZ,” and anything related to “Danielle.”

A viral social media post exposed these restrictions, angering fans who say the app has lost its meaning.

Fans quickly slammed HYBE and ADOR for the censorship.

“Newjeans is five and WILL ALWAYS BE”

“Evil fucking company”
— kat (@hiyyih4vr)

“Fuck you hybe and ador”
— 8° (@wiwooe)

“This is just sick asf the app doesn’t even have use anymore what’s the point of even adding this??”

As the situation escalates, HYBE has not released an official comment. Meanwhile, ADOR’s CEO was recently spotted following a NewJeans member on her private social media, adding another layer to the drama.

The Phoning app controversy is still unfolding as fans watch closely.
