For Kpop fans in general, it is not unusual for rumors to be spread from a certain SNS account. The accuracy of these rumors is often uneven, sometimes true, sometimes false rumors.
However, recently, netizens are spreading a rumor that is 60% accurate given quite a long time ago but it is really true. It's about how HYBE negotiated and swapped two BTS members' brand endorsement contracts with two New Jeans members.
Here's what netizens are talking about these days:
If you already know, the rumor is public on social networking sites for free. But that's not all, those rumors are either completely inaccurate, or if true, only about 60% true at most.
But there are also cases, where someone buys 70% or more accurate information that is often sold on the dark web or a hidden shop and then spread to the public. These news are really worth it and take a lot of money to buy but the buyers still accept it because they want to know the truth behind the entertainment industry.
Recently, the Korean online community suddenly spread a news related to the new high-end brand ambassador contract of New Jeans. The anonymous poster said that about 4 months ago, there was an account that spread rumors about 2 of the members of New Jeans will soon be announced as brand ambassadors of 2 high-end fashion brands.
The 2 members are named Hanni and Minji. This person spread rumors that Minji will soon be appointed as Chanel's brand ambassador while Hanni will become Gucci's new brand ambassador. The special thing revealed by the anonymous SNS user is that the contracts of these two members were exchanged from 2 members of BTS and HYBE who did this negotiation.
Specifically, users shared that Chanel initially contacted Jimin to sign a brand ambassador contract because he fits all the brand's criteria and BTS is also in the period of solo activities. However, HYBE negotiated with Chanel to transfer the rights to represent the brand to Minji. This person also said that this appointment will soon be officially announced at the end of this year or early next year.
In the same rumor, anonymous users also have another rumor that Hanni was appointed as a brand ambassador of Gucci when it was only 100 days old, which is also the contract negotiated by HYBE. Specifically, this contract belongs to V because he is known to be a lover of designs from this high-end fashion house. They contacted V as soon as he was active solo. But in the end the brand contract was transferred to Hanni through HYBE's negotiation.
In the above two information, Hanni's brand ambassador information with Gucci has been confirmed. Although they do not know the truth behind this contract, netizens are surprised because the previous information given was partially correct.
Korean netizens feel that this information is not difficult to understand when they themselves suspect that Hanni's contract is too early for an artist who has just debuted for less than a year and has not yet made many marks. Moreover, before that, Dior or Moschino were the brands that NewJeans had contact in 3 months of launch. So the contract with Gucci was too unexpected. Meanwhile, it will take a while to see if Minji is the new Chanel ambassador:
- It's scary, if Minji's information is correct, isn't the truth behind it too?
- Are they trying to reduce their dependence on BTS thanks to New Jeans? Ridiculous!
- This treatment for both New Jeans and BTS is unfair
- To be honest, they're both relatively young to take on the responsibilities of huge brands
- I heard that Gucci or Chanel had been in contact with BTS members before, but LV was the brand that got the contract
- It's hard to believe because I don't think Gucci or Chanel spare money to get Jimin and V. Could there be a higher benefit to changing the contract?
- Well, I will wait for more news from Minji to decide whether to believe this or not?
- Is it possible that because BTS is about to go to the army, HYBE has renegotiated?
- Hanni's new look in Gucci fashion, although she is cute, I have to say that Gucci clothes doesn't suit her, Gucci Kids will probably suit her better.
- Minji too, it's worth waiting for the upcoming news. Then there will be another big controversy.
