tokkis watched court hearings instead of music shows, held complaint files instead of banners, and raised funds for reporting instead of voting.
i genuinely do not wish for any group or fandom to experience what newjeans and tokkis have experienced over the past 6 months.
[POP Issue] NewJeans Fandom Takes Action Against Malicious Posts: "Ador and HYBE Are Not Responding"

By HeraldPOP Reporter Lee Mi-ji
The NewJeans fandom has taken matters into their own hands regarding malicious online posts.
On the 21st, the fandom announced, "We are starting a fundraising campaign to file complaints against defamatory posts, the spread of false information, and malicious slander targeting NewJeans."
They continued, "Despite the recent surge in malicious posts aimed at NewJeans, Ador and HYBE have not taken any action, so we have decided to address the issue ourselves."
Additionally, the fandom stated, "We are in the final stages of hiring a lawyer, and several law firms and attorneys who specialize in dealing with malicious online posts will handle this case. We are also preparing a dedicated site where people can report and submit tips about harmful posts targeting NewJeans, and we aim to have it ready within this week."
It was reported that the fundraising campaign raised 50 million won within just 8 hours.
Previously, HYBE launched an audit in April after former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin was accused of attempting to seize control of Ador. In August, Min was removed from her CEO position, and Kim Joo-young, an internal director at Ador, was appointed as the new CEO.
NewJeans member Hanni also appeared as a witness at the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee hearing on October 15, addressing issues of bullying and workplace harassment in the idol industry.
With the ongoing conflict between HYBE and former CEO Min Hee-jin, and the increasing number of malicious posts directed at NewJeans, it seems that the fandom has decided to take direct action.
WE STAND WITH NEWJEANS

issues we still need closure on:
1. SNL Korea: being racist and disrespectful to hanni for that tone deaf parody last saturday.
2. Hybe IM using Ador/NewJeans revenue and declare it as sales.
3. SouMu releasing trainee videos, images and leaking medical records of NJs members.
4. Kim Joo Young and Hybe's alleged cover up on the deleted CCTV footage.
5. Bake Ji-eun's articles on Hanni.
6. Hybe/Fraudor erasing NewJeans Q4 plans.
7. Hybe not addressing the deepfakes.

#SNLKOREA_APOLOGIZE_TO_HANNI#SNL코리아_하니에게_사과해
it’s honestly so disgusting & just plain disappointing to see people being so insensitive. hanni gathered up so much courage to speak up in the national assembly for workplace bullying and these people just mocked the whole situation n made fun of her accent? shame on all of you.
