It was recently revealed that all five NewJeans members had submitted petition letters advocating for Min Hee Jin to the Seoul Central District Court. Although the exact contents of the petition letters are currently unknown, it has been revealed that the NewJeans members wrote the letters to support Min Hee Jin. The members’ parents also participated in voicing their support for Min Hee Jin, filing additional petition letters.
After this latest development in the HYBE-ADOR conflict, K-netizens have been discussing the NewJeans members’ actions in showing their support of Min Hee Jin.
“Wow, Min Hee Jin, you’re a bad person. You shouldn’t have dragged these kids into this. There are minors in NewJeans, and you’re just using the kids as a shield.”
“Whether Bang Si Hyuk wins or Min Hee Jin wins, NewJeans is over… It’s not that they’re amazing at singing, or are outstanding in any other area, they’re just 5 cute girls who can make you laugh and are as pretty as dolls. Min Hee Jin said she loves NewJeans, but now she’s harmed them…”
“I believe that the NewJeans members know what is best for themselves as a group. In the end, the main issue will be whether or not HYBE can prove Min Hee Jin’s wrongdoing in court… It seems that HYBE has resorted to self-defense after Min Hee Jin’s press conference and the public opinion turning against HYBE. HYBE’s tactics of using personal attacks is ugly…HYBE is malicious.”
“NewJeans’ career is going to end like this. If you want to fight, then fight amongst yourselves, why do you need to involve children?”
“Wasn’t it the sentiment of the real mother in the Judgement of Solomon who gave up her child because she could not kill it, even though she would leave it in other people’s hands? How is it different from the behavior of a false mother who wants to split her child in two? Even if NewJeans submitted a petition, Min Hee Jin should have stopped it. If a statement from NewJeans is necessary, it should be submitted by NewJeans’s parents, not NewJeans themselves.”
