Jungkook has recently become a hot topic among fans after his latest Instagram post reminded them of the girl group New Jeans. In the context of New Jeans and former CEO Min Hee Jin having a conflict with the management company HYBE, Jungkook's move really took center stage.
In response to the discussion surrounding this topic on social media, HYBE quickly responded to the latest post of the BTS superstar. Fans also commented on HYBE's response to Jungkook's statement.
Here are the news and reactions we've gathered in the past few hours:
On September 14, Jungkook's pet dog Jeon Bam's Instagram, which has 6 million followers, suddenly posted a photo with the caption "Artists are not guilty", along with 5 colorful symbols of New Jeans' 'Powerpuff Girls', blue, pink, yellow, green, and purple were added. Jungkook also added an emoticon of an arm with the implication of giving strength.
This post appeared in the context of New Jeans and HYBE's conflict after the headquarters announced the dismissal of former Adore CEO Min Hee Jin. In particular, Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein of NewJeans suddenly held a live broadcast, without the agreement of the management company. During the broadcast, the female idols also revealed that they had been treated unfairly, including вυℓℓуing at HYBE and asked the company to bring back Adore's CEO Min Hee Jin.
However, after NewJeans' livestream, HYBE announced that they would always follow the principles, indirectly showing that they refused NewJeans' request. These moves further intensified the conflict between the parties. Many people see that New Jeans is on the brink of the abyss when daring to "declare war" with the HYBE empire just because of Min Hee Jin - a person that HYBE was determined to eliminate after revealing his ambition to usurp.
Therefore, when Jungkook's post appeared, many people speculated that he was showing support for New Jeans in the group's difficult situation. Many fans were surprised by Jungkook's statement because he is someone who rarely speaks up in scandals. Not only that, Jungkook is also a famous idol with his influence, so after his latest status, many people changed their minds and made the wave of support for New Jeans even more exciting.
Before the rumor that Jungkook expressed his stance in defense of New Jeans, HYBE could not help but speak up when contacted by the кσяєαn press. HYBE's representative responded to the press: "We are verifying the artist's point of view". At the same time, they also announced that they would not provide any further information related to the scandal with New Jeans and Min Hee Jin in this context.
HYBE's response is said to not satisfy most of the public's questions. Some people even think that HYBE itself can hardly "verify" Jungkook's implication because after all, if New Jeans leaves, BTS's reunion next year will be the lifeline of this empire!
