Videos from the livestream quickly went viral on social media, and the K-Pop band's fanclub called Bunnies, flooded the internet with rave reactions.

North West's support for NewJeans comes amid ADOR controvesy

The strong reaction comes amid NewJeans' ongoing controversy with the agency ADOR. For those unaware, the K-Pop band NewJeans was originally a five-member group that worked for ADOR, a company owned by HYBE. In 2024, they got into a long-running fight over management and the law. Things got worse after ADOR's CEO, Min Hee Jin, was fired. There were fights in the company and a lot of public legal battles.

The group said they would stop working in March 2025. That same year, ADOR fired Danielle and sued her and Min Hee Jin for $30 million. After she was fired, Danielle spoke up. As of January 2026, the other members, Hanni, Minji, Haerin, and Hyein, still don't know when they will come back.Because of the ongoing drama between NewJeans and the agency ADOR, North West's short comment had a big impact even after the livestream ended. It shows that K-pop's ongoing industry stories are now known all over the world, even when a pre-teen celebrity is just talking to fans online.
