Controversial Star MrBeast Sparks Backlash With Recent Remarks About NewJeans (NJZ)

MrBeast is facing backlash over his comments about NewJeans amid the Danielle contract controversy.

The controversy started when fans flooded MrBeast’s Instagram asking him to buy HYBE after Danielle’s contract termination rumors.

He responded publicly and took it a step further by asking creator Jason “TheWeen” Nguyen about the situation.

MrBeast seemed confused about what fans wanted.

MrBeast: I guess she’s (Danielle) in a lawsuit, and it’s like $30 million USD, and they want me to buy the group. Are they for sale?
Jason: You have to buy HYBE, it’s like a billion-dollar company.
MrBeast: Is that for sale?
Jason: I mean you could buy anything.
MrBeast: I mean I am just trying to understand because I keep getting asked like to help but I’m not sure what am I supposed to do.
Fan: You can donate [to a GoFundMe] MrBeast: Or do they just want to help bring awareness?

Fans on Korean forum theqoo reacted badly to MrBeast’s comments. They called the whole situation humiliating and embarrassing for K-pop.

Some comments include:

“So humiliating.”
“This is f*cing embarrassing, seriously.”
“So this was actually real lol.”
“Ugh, it’s embarrassing just hearing about it lol.”
“This is insanely embarrassing.”
“NewJeans and their fandom are constantly giving ammo to people who already look down on K-pop. This is embarrassing.”

MrBeast’s apparent confusion and the fan demands to buy HYBE made the situation a viral embarrassment for K-pop fans. The debate around Danielle’s contract and NewJeans continues to gain traction as the drama unfolds.
