ADOR is calling out Team Bunnies, NewJeans’ fan union. On April 25, they dropped a warning: some fan accounts are allegedly trying to collect personal info from fans under the excuse of doing “promotional activities.” In a public statement, the company showed their concern:
안녕하세요. 팀 버니즈입니다.
이번 인도미 미고랭 팝업스토어는 인도푸드(인도미) 및 미고랭 공식 수입사 이멕스무역 측에서 23일, 팀 버니즈에 "5월 한 달간만 기간 한정 판매 가능한 한정 수량 상품이 있어, 먼저 버니즈분들에게 알려드리고 싶다"는 취지로 연락을 주셨습니다.
버니즈 분들과…— 팀 버니즈 (@NewJeansSTRM) April 26, 2025
The chaos started when Team Bunnies first spilled the tea about the Indomie Migoreng pop-up store event and conducted a survey to test the level of purchases. And while the event had ADOR’s prior approval, the agency declared they didn’t play any part in data collection through fan accounts. They urged fans to stay alert and avoid giving their information in ways that could cause harm.
Team Bunnies organized a demand survey + reservations for the #NewJeans Indomie pop-up store, complete with a purchase link. Looks like a direct violation of the ruling against commercial activities. Kim & Chang must be having a corporate spa day watching this self-incrimination. pic.twitter.com/lO80npqwcI

In response, Team Bunnies revealed that the brand and the importer contacted them to adjust the stock for NewJeans’ products and that they didn’t collect personal info besides demand for the event. However, with NewJeans already on hiatus due to their legal mess with ADOR, the last thing anyone needs is more drama. As of now, there’s no public comment from the quintet on the controversy.
