NewJeans Fans Stage Truck Protest Urging Dialogue Over Legal Dispute

A segment of NewJeans' fanbase organized a truck protest near HYBE's headquarters in Seoul, calling for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing legal dispute between the group and their agency, ADOR. The protesters displayed messages advocating for dialogue and cautioning against the risks of prolonged legal battles, including potential massive penalties and damage to NewJeans' career.

The protest highlighted a divide within the fandom, with some supporters, under the banner 'Team Bunnies', backing NewJeans' stance against ADOR, while others emphasized the need for compromise to protect the group's future. The court recently ruled in favor of ADOR, temporarily halting NewJeans' independent activities, a decision the members are contesting.

NewJeans has expressed disappointment with the court's ruling, describing it as a push towards becoming 'revolutionaries' in the Korean entertainment industry. The group has temporarily paused activities, leaving fans concerned about their hiatus and the impact of the legal struggle on their career.
