Famous YouTuber MrBeast - owner of one of the most registered YouTube channels in the world - recently suddenly became the focus of attention related to controversy surrounding Kpop group NewJeans and management company ADOR.
In recent days, MrBeast's Instagram social network account has been continuously "tortured" by comments from international fans of NewJeans, calling on him to intervene and "rescue" member Danielle amidst the group's legal troubles.
Under one post, MrBeast even replied to a fan: "What do I need to do?".
This wave of calls appeared after ADOR (under HYBE Group) - NewJeans' management company - announced the termination of the contract and filed a lawsuit against member Danielle and former CEO Min Hee Jin, demanding compensation for damages of 43.1 billion won.
Faced with that situation, fans around the world continuously tagged MrBeast with messages such as: "Buy HYBE and save NewJeans", "Take Danielle with you", and spread the hashtag #MrBeastSaveNewJeans with the hope that this YouTuber will intervene to help the idol who is in trouble.
The action of NewJeans fans has caused controversy. On the Korean online community, many people believe that this is "shameful" and "goes too far", tarnishing the image of Kpop fan communities worldwide.
Meanwhile, after ADOR filed a lawsuit, Danielle also appointed a lawyer and prepared for a comprehensive legal battle.
In the meantime, a lawyer running the YouTube channel Korea Lawyer attracted attention when analyzing Danielle's current situation. Lawyer Lee harshly criticized Danielle's recent public actions, and gave advice for the female idol to avoid serious legal consequences.
Lawyer Lee said: "Volunteering is good, but not now. This is not the right time. NewJeans members have unilaterally terminated their contracts and caused financial damage to the company. Shareholders are also harmed. The intention to cause damage and then participate in volunteer activities shows a lack of awareness of the situation.
He believes that Danielle and other members should restrain themselves, instead of trying to show calmness or happiness in public.
The lawyer advised Danielle to admit her mistake and keep a distance from Min Hee Jin: "She must completely cut off all contact and actively confront Min Hee Jin. If she continues to ally with Min Hee Jin, she will not have a chance to recover.
She needs to prove that she has been manipulated. Another mistake is everything is over. She has to cooperate with the company right now.
