Following the court decision accepting ADOR’s application for an injunction against the members to “preserve the status of the agency and prohibit the signing of advertising contracts,” NJZ have been the focus of much attention.

Now, netizens’ focus has shifted to the alleged relationship between the group and a fan.
On March 22, images shared by a fan account began circulating online. The images showed photos of the fan alongside NJZ’s Hanni and Danielle and screenshots of conversations, including one in which they planned to meet in November near the HYBE building.

The fan, said to be around 30, also appears to have interacted with Min Hee Jin and received gifts from the group.
Following the “exposure” of their interactions, the fan apologized for any harm they may have caused to NJZ. They also claimed that there were no further interactions like that between them and the group.
In a viral post with details about the situation, netizens shared their surprise over NJZ’s contact with a fan, with some even expressing disgust.
Wow, this is really the end of the line for me. This is totally different from other scandals. I can understand being friendly with regular fans, but being all buddy-buddy with a fan who runs a hate account for bashing other idols? Are you crazy? Wow, seriously? Going so far as to DM and meet up with a fan??? That alone is enough for me to leave the fandom Sigh… it’s getting more and more disappointing. Sigh… Just how many scandals are being dug up in a single day;; So you’re telling me the fan they met privately is an “outcast fan” who bashes other idols…?Seriously, their actions are revolutionary in so many ways ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ NJZ (NewJeans)
