K-pop fans have witnessed BTS x NewJeans interactions quite a few times. Recently, NewJeans members have been in the news due to their actions amidst the controversy between HYBE and ADOR's former CEO, Min Hee-jin.
After stepping down the responsibilities, the former CEO of ADOR is still connected with the agency for overseas content production. In September, NewJeans did a lifestream on YouTube and issued an ultimatum to HYBE, urging to instate the former CEO.
BTS' Jungkook showed his support for NewJeans via Instagram. On September 14, Jungkook posted his pet, Bam, from the official Instagram account with a cryptic caption: "Artists are not guilty" along with five emojis. Fans immediately decoded the caption and supported him.
Several other BTS x NewJeans interactions have thrilled the fans, as members have collaborated.
