MrBeast To Buy NewJeans, HYBE! YouTuber Asks 'Are They For Sale?'

The ongoing turmoil surrounding K-pop sensation NewJeans has now taken an unexpected internet turn, with YouTube megastar MrBeast getting dragged into fan conversations about the group’s future. During

a casual livestream interaction, MrBeast reacted in disbelief to online chatter suggesting he should 'buy' NewJeans or even their parent company HYBE, as fans pleaded for help amid the group’s escalating legal troubles.

Mr Beat asks if NewJeans are 'on sale'

The exchange began when MrBeast addressed what he had been seeing on social media about former NewJeans member Danielle. “Wait, let me try… From what I’ve gathered through Twitter…” he said, before adding, “I guess she’s in a lawsuit and it’s like $30 million, and they want me to buy the group?” His collaborator JasonTheWeen quickly escalated the scale of the idea, responding, “They want you to buy HYBE.”As the conversation continued, a woman in the background passionately pleaded, “Please buy NewJeans! Please! Please save NewJeans!” Visibly confused, MrBeast asked, “Is that NewJeans? Are they for sale?” Jason clarified that purchasing the group would essentially require buying HYBE itself, calling it “probably like a billion-dollar company.”Mr MrBeast, leaning into the absurdity of the moment, replied, “Okay. Is THAT for sale?” Jason jokingly responded that “you can buy anything if you have the money,” prompting MrBeast to wonder aloud, “But could we buy the group, or…?” The lighthearted back-and-forth continued with jokes about pooling money “fifty-fifty,” before MrBeast admitted, “I just… I keep getting asked to help, but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do.”Suggestions of donations and even a GoFundMe were floated, to which MrBeast questioned whether fans wanted financial help or simply awareness. Jason ultimately summed it up by saying there wasn’t much anyone could realistically do unless HYBE itself was bought, calling that outcome unrealistic. MrBeast ended the discussion with a simple “ok.”

NewJeans and Danielle in trouble

The viral moment comes amid serious developments for NewJeans. The group’s long-awaited full comeback has hit a major roadblock following reports on December 29 that ADOR terminated its exclusive contract with Danielle, effectively removing her from the five-member group. While Hanni and Minji have also reportedly faced repercussions, Danielle remains the most affected and is now dealing with a lawsuit and financial penalties.These events are the latest chapter in the prolonged legal and public dispute between NewJeans, ADOR, and HYBE, which escalated after former ADOR CEO Min Hee-Jin was ousted in August 2024. As fans search for unlikely saviours online, MrMrBeast’s bewildered reaction has only highlighted how complex - and far beyond internet solutions - the situation truly is.
