This incident has unfolded amidst ongoing legal battles among higher-ups in K-pop companies, dragging groups like NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM into the mess. The tension between fans of the two groups have escalated, resulting in alarming actions such as this plan.

In response, NewJeans fans defended themselves, stating that the wreaths were intended for HYBE Entertainment as a corporation, not specifically for Chaewon. They emphasized that the site where the plan was made did not mention Chaewon directly.

Fearnots hitting a new low. Those are trucks and condolences wreath sent against HYBE (the CORPORATE ). Nobody is sending condolences wreath against Chaewon. But fearnots want yall to believe this so you can get a free pass to hate on NewJeans.The proof is underneath here ⬇️ 🧵 https://t.co/tqSVDgh7o9 pic.twitter.com/gnbVUZ7mFn

Both sides have presented their arguments, but the fact remains that no one should be subjected to such acts, intentional or not, especially on their birthday. As August 1st approaches, fans and the K-pop community hope for a resolution that respects all parties involved.
