NewJeans Danielle Contract Removal Controversy 2025: Fans Spark Backlash for Involving President
NewJeans fans face backlash after urging the South Korean President to intervene in Danielle's contract removal. Read about the 2025 controversy here.
Is it a valid protest or a case of fandom overreach? NewJeans fans, known as Bunnies, have sparked a heated debate after urging followers to contact South Korean President Lee Jae-myung directly. This unconventional move follows reports that Danielle was removed from ADOR amid an escalating legal battle with HYBE.
The NewJeans Danielle Contract Removal Controversy Escalates
As of December 31, 2025, fan communities on platforms like theqoo and X have been filled with calls for government intervention. Supporters are encouraging fellow fans to send DMs to the President and faxes to the Blue House to protest what they call the "misdeeds" of Bang Si-hyuk and HYBE.
The protest period is set from December 31, 2025 to January 6, 2026. Korean fans are focusing on faxing official institutions, while international fans are targeting social media mentions. The hashtag #FREENEWJEANS has begun trending as part of this coordinated effort.
Netizen Backlash: "A Private Dispute, Not a State Issue"
However, the public reaction hasn't been supportive. Many Korean netizens are questioning why the government should be involved in an entertainment industry contract dispute. Comments on theqoo reflect a sense of fatigue, with users stating that the President is "too busy" for such matters and that the move could ultimately harm NewJeans' image.
This backlash comes as ADOR reportedly prepares to file for an exorbitant amount in damages against Danielle. While fans believe they're protecting their idol, critics argue that dragging political figures into corporate legal battles crosses a line.
