NewJeans’ fandom has found itself at the center of online controversy after fans were mocked by Korean netizens for their latest actions following news that Danielle was removed from the company.
According to online communities, some fans attempted to encourage others to DM the Korean president and the Blue House, urging government intervention over what they believe to be an unfair treatment of the idol.

Korean netizens reacted strongly, questioning why fans would involve state leaders and government institutions in what they see as an entertainment industry dispute.

- Lee Jae Myung is busy. Just go away.
- Can’t we sue them for getting in the way of work? What’s up with them.
- Why would you ask the government about entertainment issues?
- Crazy.
- Don’t act up now, BFFR. The president is busy.
- Are they insane?
Many criticized the move as excessive, arguing that idol contract issues and internal company decisions do not fall under the jurisdiction of the president or the Blue House. Others expressed concern that such actions could harm NewJeans’ public image rather than help it.
