by Journalist Hong Hyemin.
A representative from HYBE stated, "Min Heejin's interest is not New Jeans itself, but the money they bring in." They further claimed, "Although Min Heejin says, 'If it weren't for me, New Jeans wouldn't have debuted. I couldn't bear to see them suffer.' The reality is that she belittled and insulted the members by saying, 'It's actually difficult to treat New Jeans as artists, but I endured it. The success of New Jeans is not because they're New Jeans, but because of me.'"
HYBE's side also alleged that Min Heejin engaged in gaslighting in order to make New Jeans' members emotionally dependent on her, saying, "Min Heejin demanded New Jeans' members to stick to the scrips she provided when they have interviews. This portrays a gaslighting relationship, where New Jeans here holds a passive role, all disguised behind the term 'mother-daughter relationship.'"
