Anti-Fan Flames Rekindled: ADOR’s Legal Action Ignites Online Feud
Hello, this is ADOR.
We continuously monitor various community sites to identify and address defamatory actions against NewJeans members, including malicious comments, reverse viral marketing, slander, insults, and the dissemination of false information. We have particularly noted an increase in high-level malicious posts targeting NewJeans, taking advantage of anonymity.
In response, we are preparing to take legal action, both civil and criminal, and we wish to make it clear that there will be no leniency or settlements under any circumstances.
We will utilize all available means to track and take legal action against posts on anonymous community sites, which are typically challenging to identify.
Below, we provide information on how to report cases of illegal activities that infringe upon NewJeans’ rights. If you encounter any malicious posts or other examples of illegal activities, please actively report them to ADOR’s official legal response account (protect@ador.world).
We are always grateful for the unwavering support of our fans, and we will continue our efforts to protect the rights and interests of the NewJeans members.
Thank you.
ADOR’s decision to pursue legal action against NewJeans anti-fans has once again ignited fierce online battles between LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT fandoms, reigniting tensions following Min Hee-jin’s press conference. LE SSERAFIM fans, perceiving themselves as the initial targets, have responded with strong opposition.
Min Hee-jin Supporters Rejoice, Suspicions Linger
Within the Min Hee-jin supporting communities of instiz and theqoo, members expressed jubilation at ADOR’s announcement. Recalling Min’s unwavering stance against anti-fans in the past, they anticipated stern disciplinary measures. Some even suggested expanding the legal action to include anti-comments directed at Min Hee-jin herself. However, suspicions arose regarding HYBE’s potential involvement as the source of these anti-fans, lacking any concrete evidence to support such claims.
Overseas Anti-Fans: Can They Be Held Accountable?
A prevailing notion existed that punishing anti-fans operating on overseas server-based platforms was a challenging task. However, a case where Starship Entertainment successfully sued a YouTube anti-fan in a US court has rekindled hope among NewJeans fans for potential repercussions against overseas anti-fans.
Ironic Twist: Anti-Fans Cheering for Punishment
LE SSERAFIM has emerged as the primary target of severe anti-fan attacks, even facing accusations of pro-Japanese sentiments due to a photo taken with Mount Fuji in the background. Ironically, some netizens who applaud ADOR’s announcement are also the very ones perpetuating anti-comments against LE SSERAFIM, highlighting the perplexing nature of this situation.
A Call for a Healthy Fandom Culture: United Against Toxicity
