List of BTS and more than 80 artists banned from interacting with NewJeans due to blockade?

The joy of NewJeans 's return has not been long, but Korean social networks are abuzz with rumors about a list of 83 artists banned from interacting with NewJeans, including many famous names.

The incident continued to get serious when fans of many HYBE groups spread a list of 83 artists, from BTS, SEVENTEEN, TXT, ENHYPEN to girl groups like LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT or KATSEYE. The list was attached with a sarcastic phrase: "No contact with NewJeans".

Although only satirical, the list somewhat reflects the disappointment and fatigue of the Kpop fangirl-fanboy community after a series of controversies surrounding NewJeans over the past time.

The controversy surrounding NewJeans and ADOR was so serious that it was brought up in a hearing in the Korean National Assembly. However, the allegations of a "toxic work environment" that Hanni mentioned earlier were dismissed by the Ministry of Labor and the courts for lack of basis.

HYBE then released a video showing ILLIT greeting Hanni, sparking controversy over her misleading statements. This detail made ILLIT the victim of online attacks, and public outrage has not subsided to this day.

It is undeniable that NewJeans was once one of the most prominent groups of the 4th generation with outstanding achievements, exploding from the first day of debut. However, a series of lawsuits, accusations, controversial statements and inconsistent decisions in recent times have seriously damaged the group's image.

Although the "no contact" list is just a joke, it is a clear sign that NewJeans has lost a lot of the goodwill they once had. From being considered a "wall of Gen 4", they are gradually becoming a story for the Kpop community to mock and gossip.

According to the announcement, only Haerin and Hyein reached a new cooperation agreement with ADOR. Meanwhile, the three older members, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle, unilaterally announced their comeback without receiving official approval from the management company. The unilateral announcement made the public question whether the trio was really accepted by ADOR to continue their activities.

When the group "turned around" to return to ADOR, the public's reaction was not as gentle as before. A series of Kpop fans, especially fans of HYBE's groups, simultaneously demanded that NewJeans apologize to ILLIT and LE SSERAFIM, the two groups that were caught in the storm when the drama related to the "fight" between Min Hee Jin and HYBE occurred. Even as soon as the news of NewJeans returning to ADOR was announced, LE SSERAFIM fans sent protest trucks to the front gate of the building, not accepting the return of these 5 girls.

NewJeans was questioned for its statements, stance and actions during that tense period. The online community emphasized that many misleading information, especially related to internal allegations, made ILLIT a target of attack for a long time.

The return of all 5 members seems to be no longer welcomed as before. To regain public trust, NewJeans needs to be transparent in their stance, correct past mistakes and especially be tactful in dealing with colleagues - something that the Korean entertainment industry always puts first.
