When news broke that K-pop sensation NewJeans would be parting ways with ADOR, the internet, per usual, posted memes until it made it to Twitter's trending page. The group, known for their catchy hits and next-gen style, suddenly found themselves caught in a whirlwind of speculation, with fans expressing every emotion imaginable—from heartbreak to utter confusion. ADOR, under HYBE's umbrella, issued a statement attempting to clarify the situation, but that only seemed to fuel the fire.
Of course, when you're one of the biggest names in K-pop, fans don't just sit in silence—they grab their meme-making tools and flood social media with side-splitting reactions. From SpongeBob references to meme templates that could rival a drama series, the creativity was unmatched.
Let’s dive into how this contract shake-up has sparked an online meme fest that Gen Z will remember (and meme about) for years.
Fans turn heartbreak into hilarity with memes following NewJeans’ split with ADOR
The split heard around the K-pop world
It all started with a dispute that escalated faster than a NewJeans choreography breakdown. According to reports, disagreements between the members of NewJeans and ADOR’s management led to the sudden exit of the group from the label.
Fans were left in disbelief, with some taking to social media to express their shock, while others turned to humor to cope with the devastating news. As memes began to flood Twitter and Instagram, the tone shifted from somber to hilarious, with users focusing on the absurdity of it all.
ADOR’s response: Adding fuel to the meme fire
ADOR, trying to douse the flames, released an official statement explaining that there were no grounds for the contract termination, claiming the group’s departure was unwarranted. Gen Z did as they always do, and immediately dissected the statement, turning it into viral tweets.
Fans even got creative with K-pop insider jokes, pointing out how every label seems to have “that one chaotic moment” where things go downhill.
A viral tweet read:
“When your favorite K-pop group starts showing the same red flags as your ex.”
This was accompanied by a meme of a person frantically texting, “We need to talk.”
Memes that hit different
As the situation unfolded, it became clear that humor was how many fans were processing the news. The memes ranged from cheeky jabs to full-blown roasts. One fan posted a Friends meme with Joey Tribbiani’s confused face, captioned:
“Me trying to understand why NewJeans is leaving ADOR when everything seemed fine two days ago.”
Others took a more direct approach, comparing the whole ordeal to a classic K-pop “plot twist” that no one saw coming.
But, of course, not all memes were lighthearted. Some fans shared their disappointment, creating more bittersweet, memeified tributes to the group’s success under ADOR, pairing melancholic images of the NewJeans members with texts like:
“So long, and thanks for all the bops.”
Even in the face of bad news, K-pop fans prove time and again that they can find humor in the chaos.
The future of NewJeans: What’s next?
Trending
As the memes continue to be shared, fans are also left questioning what the future holds for NewJeans. Will they sign with another big label? Will they take an indie route and shock the world with a surprise album drop? Or will they somehow reconcile with their label? Whatever happens next, one thing’s for sure: the memes aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
In the meantime, fans are bracing themselves for the next wave of updates, statements (and memes) that might come their way.
