A recent post on Pann Nate has stirred attention for making light of NewJeans‘ mental health struggles, yet surprisingly, it has gone largely unchallenged by netizens. The post sarcastically claimed, “NewJeans is taking antidepressants — seriously, you should never mix that with alcohol,” and was paired with an image of the members holding drinks at a Nike event during their hiatus.

The post was seemingly written in response to the third court hearing between ADOR and NewJeans, during which NewJeans’ lawyer revealed that some members were suffering from mental health issues serious enough to require antidepressant medication.
Despite the sensitive nature of the topic, the comments under the post showed little sympathy. Instead of criticism, most reactions appeared supportive of the mockery or were indifferent, with no significant backlash or effort to correct the narrative. Some even took it further by attacking the group and its management.

- The original poster is showing concern, so why are the psychopath fans getting mad?
- This isn’t just hating — it’s a fact. You absolutely shouldn’t drink alcohol while taking antidepressants. That’s basically saying you want to die. It clouds your judgment, worsens depression, and can lead to suicidal impulses… Even when prescribed, doctors repeatedly emphasize not to drink.
- I admit, that was funny lol.
- NewJeans fans mocked the post about LE SSERAFIM taking psychiatric meds like crazy.
- They cornered a young, inexperienced manager so badly that he ended up needing to go to the hospital.
The situation sheds light on the toxic culture of online speculation, especially surrounding young idols facing pressure in the public eye. As discussions about mental health become more normalized in South Korea, many are calling for stricter moderation of harmful content and greater empathy for idols like NewJeans.
