NewJeans Fans Appeal to MrBeast for Help...Gaining Global Attention

NewJeans’ fans have poured in requests for assistance on global YouTuber MrBeast’s social media accounts. MrBeast stated that while he is trying to understand the situation, he is unsure exactly what he should do.

Over the past week, comments such as “Please acquire HYBE,” “Please save NewJeans,” and “Please help Danielle” have flooded MrBeast’s TikTok and Instagram posts. The hashtag #MrBeastSaveNewJeans has also spread, evolving into a large-scale campaign by fans. On the 7th, MrBeast spoke about the matter for the first time during a live broadcast with popular American streamer Jason “TheWin” Davis at the Amazon Prime Original “Beast Games Season 2” premiere event.

MrBeast said, “I know that NewJeans fans have recently been asking me to help them.” He added, “As far as I understand, Danielle is involved in a lawsuit worth around $30 million (approximately 43 billion won), and people seem to be asking me to acquire the group.” He then questioned, “Are they actually for sale?” and honestly replied, “I’m not sure exactly what I should do—whether it’s asking for donations or simply spreading awareness about this situation.”

Jason “TheWin” Davis explained, “It seems that Bunnies, NewJeans’ fandom name, want to raise awareness about this situation. That would be their main goal.” He also conveyed the fans’ expectation that if MrBeast were to buy ADOR, he could save Danielle and assist with the legal issues. In response, MrBeast said, “Honestly, with such strong fan influence, wouldn’t it be better to raise money through crowdfunding?” He added, “I think they should bring one NewJeans fan who can properly explain the situation to us.”

Realistically, it is almost impossible for MrBeast to acquire HYBE. HYBE’s market capitalization is around 14 trillion won, far exceeding MrBeast’s estimated net worth of about $2.6 billion (approximately 3.76 trillion won). This issue began last November when NewJeans members notified ADOR of the termination of their exclusive contracts. Since then, ADOR filed a lawsuit against Danielle seeking damages totaling around 43.1 billion won, including a penalty of 30 billion won for breach of contract. As this dispute attracted attention from global fanbases, it has turned into an international issue.
