Previously on September 11, NewJeans members went on YouTube on their own and held a live broadcast, firing various accusations against HYBE and demanding for Min Hee-jin’s return.
During this broadcast, NewJeans’ Hanni claimed that a manager at HYBE told their artists to ignore her when she greeted them, leading to suspicions of mistreatment.
In addition, Minji expressed her worries that NewJeans may be secretly ostracized since after Min Hee-jin’s removal from the CEO position, the girl group feel like they don’t have anyone to protect them.
However, some say that HYBE may be feeling aggrieved and wrongfully accused.
Particular, an industry insider claimed, “I know that within HYBE, they are careful with the NewJeans members because they fear that even small things might cause trouble. Rather, I know they are nervous, and that kind of attitude can lead to misunderstandings in some encounters”.
Above all, the industry consensus is that the members and Bunnies (fandom of NewJeans) should not be harmed by this incident, which was triggered by a fight between adults.
