Previously, the dissatisfaction rose after the dismissal of former CEO of the group, Min Hee Jin who played the pivotal role in establishing the popularity, and unique music style of “NewJeans”. 

“This is so crazy the way we knew Hybe was trying to get rid of NewJeans and now we have actual proof”

“One day, K-pop will thank hanni, newjeans and mhj. Hybe ruined K-pop and they should somehow pay for everything. How did we go from enjoying music to fighting for streams, views and sales?”

“I said this before. Bang and HYBE are the seven deadly sins of K-pop.”

“NewJeans did the best they could to stand up and defend themselves from that company. Since 2023, they’ve been planning to get rid and throw newjeans away and replace them. These girls was fighting for their careers”

“Newjeans karma hitting everybody you love to see it”

Fans' anger and disappointment are expressed in these comments, which are making the rounds on social media. Fans were really upset with HYBE for cutting the "NewJeans" out of their most recent plans to start a new generation of female group.
