It’s so bizarre that I listed all NewJeans Hanni-related articles that was posted on the 20th.
Out of over 100 articles, 70% had their comment sections open.
The Ministry of Labor responds to the workplace harassment case. They don’t determine whether workplace harassment occurred or not. They just gave a dismissive statement that (Hanni) is not a worker.
At 08.50, Sports Chosun released an article stating that HYBE denied any workplace harassment. Following that, a bunch of articles saying that HYBE didn’t engage in any workplace harassment were posted.

Most of the articles with open comment sections are flooded with malicious comments from men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Since 2020, regulations have required comment sections on celebrity articles to remain closed, but after April, a disproportionate number of NewJeans articles have had their comment sections open, often posted under the “Lifestyle” section.
And the wording used in these articles is often slightly recycled.
Some malicious or false comments are deleted after some time.
어제아침에 미친듯이 올라온 기사들에 달린 악플들 오늘 다시 들어가보니 절반은 삭튀했네 ㅋ 가만보니 이것도 수법같음. 시간정해서 기사멀려거 우르르 비슷한 키워드로 악플달고 퇴근전에 삭제하는수법? 이제 역바+알바타임이면 바로 달려가 피뎁부터 따서 제보해야할듯! pic.twitter.com/2cZ0qUvCwF

Yesterday morning, articles flooded in with hateful comments, but when I checked again today, half of them were deletedㅋ Now that I look at it, this seems like a tactic. They post malicious comments in bulk under similar keywords at a set time and then delete them before the day ends? If this happens again, we neet to immediately collect evidence, compile it in a PDF file and report it!
Meanwhile, only four articles so far have covered HYBE’s toxic contract clauses that were revealed earlier today.
-Wow, what’s this?ㄷㄷ
-Even the few articles about HYBE’s problematic clauses are posted in the entertainment section, so you can’t even leave comments thereㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-If the article is about Ministry of Labor’s response, it makes sense that it wasn’t posted in the entertainment section.
-Sigh~ How much golf have they been playing?~ So amazing~ Looks like becoming a major company in the entertainment industry isn’t for just anyone😉
-Why are articles about HYBE’s problematic clauses are posted in the entertainment section?
-Aren’t HYBE’s problematic clauses more important?? It’s so disgusting how the media stays silent about it. If Min Heejin is really making a documentary, this needs to be addressed.
-The comments on Dongduk Women’s University articles have exactly the same ratio of gender and age.
-Even the comments on articles defending or supporting NewJeans and Min Heejin are mostly from men in their 40s.
-It’s disgusting how they deliberately post NewJeans articles in the social issues section to allow comments.
-HYBE is such a terrible company.
-What are these 40-year-old men doing, obsessing over a girl who is young enough to be their daughter?
-This is genuinely horrifying.
-It’s disheartening to see such young girls exposed to this side of society. There are many young fans of NewJeans too, and I feel bad they’ll realize how the world is so early. That’s why I want to support them even more as an adultㅠ
-They criticize Min Heejin a lot in male-dominated forums too. Those people are probably the same people who leave these commentsㅎ Fine, keep it up, you guysㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
