For over a week, fans have been posting messages like “Save NewJeans” and “Please buy HYBE,” pushing the hashtag #mrbeastsavenewjeans into online trending topics worldwide. The online campaign comes from a long and messy legal dispute between NewJeans and their agency ADOR over their exclusive contracts. After nearly a year of legal battles, the members announced plans to return to ADOR, but the agency only took Haerin and Hyein back in and said they would be in talks with the remaining three members. Minji, Hanni, and Danielle.
ADOR's $33 Million Lawsuit against Danielle is the LARGEST Civil Lawsuit Money Wise in South Korea's HISTORY against a 20 years old Artist.

ADOR later confirmed Hanni’s return and said talks with Minji are ongoing. However, Danielle’s case took a dramatic turn when the agency officially issued a notice terminating her exclusive contract and announcing they would sue her, her former manager, and a family member for $33 million dollars. Meanwhile, NewJeans fans have escalated their efforts, even sending thousands of protest faxes to South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
