K-pop label ADOR has announced new measures it will take to prevent malicious comments towards the members of NewJeans.On December 5, the agency released a notice via the group’s ‘Phoning’ app, through which they hold livestreams and share messages to fans.

In it, ADOR shared that the app’s live commenting feature will be limited to subscribed users in the near future due to hate comments.The agency added that it is “consistently taking legal measures” against all cases of defamation, false information and malicious content deemed damaging to the group, including past and future occurrences.While the statement did not mention specific incidents, it came just a day after members Minji and Hyein held a livestream, during which they addressed a hate comment they received.In a screen capture archived by fans on X, Hyein appeared visibly stunned after reading a comment, turning to Minji if she had seen the user’s ID and calling the message “mean”.Minji then said that she had taken a screen capture of the comment, after which Hyein pointed to the camera and warned: “Just wait there.”[.
