NewJeans’ PUBG Characters Face Sexual Harassment By Gamers

Netizens have expressed their grave concern over NewJeans’ avatars being subjected to sexually inappropriate treatment by gamers in the PUBG: Battlegrounds game.

A recent post on Nate Pann has gone viral where the OP (original poster) compiled multiple instances of gamers intentionally dressing the NewJeans members’ characters in revealing outfits and making perverted comments about them.

The NewJeans skin is very erotic.”

Average?

Netizens are, however, divided on this matter. While some called out the gamers, others felt Min Hee Jin and ADOR didn’t do enough to protect the girls. Many also turned into a fandom clash, pointing out that other idols’ game characters have also often faced the same fate. There were a few who also expressed their discomfort with the community post itself, urging the OP to remove it to avoid aggression.

• “All these comments saying the same things like, ‘What is this?’ and ‘ADOR is crazy…’ You idiots, LOL. Are you guys new to FPS (First Person Shooter game)? It’s always been like this. By your logic, all the CEOs of female idols who also had game characters based on them must be sick f*cks, too, right? Ah, also. Mind you, LE SSERAFIM also came out with characters in Sudden Attack, LOL.”
• “This is exactly why we need to distance ourselves from men who are active in online communities. Especially those from DC Inside or FM Korea.”
• “Saving PDFs as evidence of sexual harassment. Writing stuff like this is just crazy.”

• “Yeah, don’t bring sexual harassment here and just take down the post. It’s just provoking unnecessary aggression.”
• “Wow… I bought every character from Son Heung Min, Ma Dong Seok, Lee Jung Jae, to BLACKPINK, and even the NewJeans ones released this time, but I’ve never once utilized male characters like that or even thought about doing sh*t like this. Seeing posts like this really disgusts me, LOL. So proud of what they’re doing, too? I wish they would just disappear from this world. I’m not even a fan, and I’m offended.”
• “Are the fans staying silent about this instead of fighting to protect NewJeans because they want to avoid causing trouble for the CEO?”

What are your thoughts on this?
