However, netizens found it funny that they were posting about taking action against malicious comments when the fandom had a history of leaving comments on other idol’s malicious comment notices.
Although I support them taking action for malicious comments, I just find it funny coming from a fandom that laughed at another female idol’s legal action notice.
The Team Bunnies account was also seen previously commenting laughing emojis on the ADOR update on a legal proceedings notice.
Netizens agreed and hoped the fandom would also be accused for their own malicious comments.
- “Lol…hope they get accused for their own malicious comments.”
- “I support legal action for malicious comments, but it’s funny seeing a fandom that leaves the most hateful comments posting about suing malicious comments.”
- “Although it’s right to sue malicious comments that go over the line, they should stop laughing and leaving comments on other idol’s notices.”
Meanwhile, NJZ (NewJeans) most recently announced they would be taking a temporary hiatus.
