"Saw the motion Jason was getting": FaZe Plaqueboymax's post about NewJeans goes viral on X

Twitch streamer Plaqueboymax's post about K-Pop sensation NewJeans has gone viral after the FaZe Clan member wrote "Free NewJeans" on October 3. For those unaware, this is a reference to the ongoing controversy surrounding the South Korean entertainment agency ADOR, owned by HYBE, which manages the K-pop group.

Plaqueboymax's comment has garnered almost half a million impressions on X in an hour, with fans of the girl group flooding the streamer's comment in support of NewJeans. That said, many claimed that Plaqueboymax was just trying to capitalize on the K-pop group's controversy for clicks.

Some have also pointed out that fellow FaZe Clan member Jasontheween had gone viral for celebrating reaching 100K subs on Twitch by playing the NewJeans song ETA, and that Plaqueboymax was trying to hop on the bandwagon. Here are some general comments on X.

A brief look at HYBE NewJeans controversy as FaZe Twitch streamers Jasontheween and Plaqueboymax go viral for showing support

The controversy surrounding NewJeans and their management agency and music label ADOR and HYBE, respectively, has been the most debated K-pop topic since news about friction between the singers and the company became public earlier this year. Allegations of plagiarism, mismanagement, and copyright issues have angered fans of the girl band, who have banded together on social media to show support for NewJeans.

Twitch became intertwined with the controversy a couple of days ago when popular livestreamer and FaZe Clan member Jasonthween celebrated by playing the NewJeans song ETA on his broadcast after his channel had reached 100K subscribers.

Clips from the moment featuring Jasontheween with his fellow FaZe members such as Lacy, Banks, and Plaqueboymax went viral on social media, with many fans pointing out that following the Twitch broadcast, the Spotify streams for the song nearly doubled in a day.

Readers should note that neither Jasonthween nor Plaqueboymax have specifically commented on the various complaints and allegations that NewJeans members and other parties involved have brought forward.
