70% of articles related to NewJeans have their comment sections open, and the age and gender ratio of commenters is abnormal

It's so bizarre that I listed all NewJeans Hanni-related articles that was posted on the 20th.

Out of over 100 articles, 70% had their comment sections open.

The Ministry of Labor responds to the workplace harassment case. They don't determine whether workplace harassment occurred or not. They just gave a dismissive statement that (Hanni) is not a worker.

At 08.50, Sports Chosun released an article stating that HYBE denied any workplace harassment. Following that, a bunch of articles saying that HYBE didn't engage in any workplace harassment were posted.

Most of the articles with open comment sections are flooded with malicious comments from men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.

Since 2020, regulations have required comment sections on celebrity articles to remain closed, but after April, a disproportionate number of NewJeans articles have had their comment sections open, often posted under the "Lifestyle" section.

And the wording used in these articles is often slightly recycled.

Some malicious or false comments are deleted after some time.

Yesterday morning, articles flooded in with hateful comments, but when I checked again today, half of them were deletedㅋ Now that I look at it, this seems like a tactic. They post malicious comments in bulk under similar keywords at a set time and then delete them before the day ends? If this happens again, we neet to immediately collect evidence, compile it in a PDF file and report it! 

Meanwhile, only four articles so far have covered HYBE's toxic contract clauses that were revealed earlier today.

-Wow, what’s this?ㄷㄷ

-Even the few articles about HYBE's problematic clauses are posted in the entertainment section, so you can't even leave comments thereㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If the article is about Ministry of Labor's response, it makes sense that it wasn't posted in the entertainment section.

-Sigh~ How much golf have they been playing?~ So amazing~ Looks like becoming a major company in the entertainment industry isn’t for just anyone😉

-Why are articles about HYBE's problematic clauses are posted in the entertainment section?

-Aren't HYBE's problematic clauses more important?? It's so disgusting how the media stays silent about it. If Min Heejin is really making a documentary, this needs to be addressed.

-The comments on Dongduk Women’s University articles have exactly the same ratio of gender and age.

-Even the comments on articles defending or supporting NewJeans and Min Heejin are mostly from men in their 40s.

-It’s disgusting how they deliberately post NewJeans articles in the social issues section to allow comments.

-HYBE is such a terrible company.

-What are these 40-year-old men doing, obsessing over a girl who is young enough to be their daughter?

-This is genuinely horrifying.

-It’s disheartening to see such young girls exposed to this side of society. There are many young fans of NewJeans too, and I feel bad they’ll realize how the world is so early. That’s why I want to support them even more as an adultㅠ

-They criticize Min Heejin a lot in male-dominated forums too. Those people are probably the same people who leave these commentsㅎ Fine, keep it up, you guysㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ

Comparing Aespa's discography: With vs Without Lee Sooman

 

With Lee Sooman: Black Mamba, Next Level, Savage, Illusion, Girl

Without Lee Sooman: Spicy, Drama, Supernova, Armageddon, Whiplash

theqoo

-With Lee Sooman, they have Next Level. Without Lee Sooman, they have Supernova. It's hard to choose.

-They're better without him.

-I listen to them much more after Lee Sooman left.

-Personally, I prefer their earlier songsㅠ

-I personally think when Lee Sooman and Yoo Youngjin were around, their songs felt like hit-or-miss. After they left, even the weakest tracks in the album still received attention from the general public.

-They're way better without him.

-It feels like Aespa’s era only truly began after he left. Until then, they were locked up in SM’s Kwangya concept.

-All the songs are just good... But I prefer their hairstyle, makeup, and outfits after Lee Sooman left.

-My favorite song is Black Mamba, but after Whiplash was released, I'm convinced that they're better without Lee Soomanㅋㅋㅋ

-They needed Sooman's touch during their debut days to leave a strong impression like AI beauty, Kwangya, ae-Karina, etc. to leave an impact on the public. After that, they tend to shift to focus on appealing general public.

-I prefer the No-Sooman lineup.

-I like everything, even Next Level and Black Mamba.

-I just like their whole discography.

Is G-Dragon dropping a surprise new track tomorrow?

 

theqoo 

-Oh, it’s tomorrow.

-Hul, a surprise release.

-Let it be a BIGBANG's song.

-Crazy... Tomorrow??!!!!

-What?? He's suddenly dropping a new track tomorrow at 2PM????

-It's probably GD's solo album. Why bring up BIGBANG out of the blue?ㅋ

-This is most likely to be GD's song since it's from GD's agency's Twitter.

-The post doesn't mention BIGBANG at all, what are you guys talking about?

-Suddenly??

-Maybe Daesung and Taeyang will be featuring in GD's song?

-Hul... Anyway, they're saying that a new song will be dropped, right? Whether it's BIGBANG's or GD's, I'm so excited for it.

-I can't believe they're announcing it just one day before the releaseㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It could be a BIGBANG's song... Or maybe GD ft. BIGBANG...?

-Hul, what is this...

-He's a totally unpredictable guy.

-Tomorrow?????

-Hul... This is so out of the blue, but I love it.

Min Heejin's remarks: "V texted me at dawn" was all lie? Ministry of Defense responds to allegations of special treatment

 

Response to complaints regarding Min Heejin and BTS V' text messages

2. Hello, this is the complaint officer from the 802nd military police unit. Thank you for your interest in national defense matters. Here is our response to your inquiry.

3. Your complain appears to suspect BTS' member Kim Taehyung (Stage name: V, hereinafter referred to as Kim Taehyung) for using his cellphone during his time at the Army Training Center during the hours when cellphone use is prohibited. You also asked for investigation whether his unit gave him special treatment as a celebrity or overlooked such behavior.

4. Our review of your concerns is as follows:

a. After confirming, it has been confirmed that the Army Training Center where Kim Taehyun served allows trainees to use their cell phones for one hour during weekends and holidays.

b. It has been confirmed that Kim Taehyung received his cellphone according to the guidelines of the Army Training Center and used it during the designated usage time, which is in the afternoon, not in the early morning.

c. It has been confirmed that Kim Taehyung did not receive special permission to use his cellphone or that such actions were condoned during any time other than those stated in point A.

d. Details regarding the specific date, method, and content of conversations between the individuals involved cannot be disclosed due to Article 3 of the Personal Information Protection Act and Article 3 of the Telecommunications Privacy Act, which protects the confidentiality of communication.

Former ADOR CEO Min Heejin said, "V occasionally calls me from the military. He's a naturally bright and cheerful person. Amidst this whole situation, he reached out to me and asked, 'Are you okay?' Later, he mentioned that he was feeling hesitant about when to contact me. I was grateful for his concern."

She also added, "He texted me on my birthday in the early morning to say happy birthday. He’s genuinely warm and kind. I appreciated that."

Summary: Trainees are allowed to use their cell phones during designated times. V did not send Min Heejin a text in the early morning.

-Sigh... It was probably a scheduled message. What are you guys doing...

-People... He probably texted her during his leave or maybe it was a scheduled messages. Why filing complaints and making all this fuss?

-Sigh... These people are filing complaints over the smallest things...

-The people who filed these complaintsㅋㅋ Don't you guys have friends?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Scheduled messages exist, elderly...

-They're #1 when it comes to wasting time on meaningless things.

-These Haboongies seem to have too much time on their hands.

-Is this really that important?? Whether it was a scheduled message or he sent it during his leave, why does it even matter?

-Why is this even making the news? Don’t people have better things to do?

-Scheduled messages exist, Haboongies.

-The dumbasses who filed these complaints are the real problem.

-Don't you guys know about scheduled messages???? Are you stupid?????

-Why are they doing this to V?

-This is so sickening.

-V is probably tired of all these Haboongies as wellㅋㅋㅋ

NewJeans Minji sparks various interpretations as she changes her profile picture following Min Heejin's resignation

 

Ten Asia | Journalist Lee Minkyung

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/312/0000689853

NewJeans' Minji changed her profile picture on a fan communication platform following the announcement of Min Heejin's resignation as ADOR's internal director.

On the 20th, Minji updated her profile picture on the fan platform Phoning, replacing it with an image featuring the sons of former national fencing athlete Kim Junho, Eunwoo and Jungwoo.

During her appearance on KBS2's The Return of Superman, she shared, "I have been watching Eunwoo and Jungwoo for a while, and I really wanted to meet them, which is why I appeared on the show." As a result, most people interpret the change in profile picture as a reflection of Minji's growing interest in the two boys. However, some netizens speculate that Minji's change in profile could also be influenced by her former CEO Min Heejin's resignation, which occurred on the same day, suggesting a possible shift in her feelings.

Earlier on the 20th, Min Heejin released a statement announcing her resignation as an internal director of ADOR, declaring, "I am terminating the shareholder agreement with HYBE and will hold them legally accountable for any breaches. Additionally, I will pursue necessary legal action for the numerous illegal activities committed by HYBE and its associates."

theqoo

-The journalist probably didn't even understand what they were writing when they wrote this article.

-Is this journalist crazy? Does she even know that Minji's making an appearance in the show next week?

-TenAsia again?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ No wonder they're called trash journalists.

-I wonder how much this journalist got paid to write this.

-At this point, isn't TenAsia involved with HYBE?

-These dumbasses... What's wrong with them?

-What is she even talking about...

-I really don't understand what the article is saying... What’s the interpretation of her photo with Jungwoo and Eunwoo...?

-She changed her profile picture because she's going to make an appearance on The Return of Superman and now there are people making some delusional interpretations about it... I don't think these people are sane.

-She changed her profile picture because she's making an appearance on The Return of Supermanㅋㅋ What kind of nonsense is this?

-This journalist should go to a mental hospital. This is not normal.

-Thank you for promoting Minji's appearance in The Return of Superman!

HYBE girl group KATSEYE's fans urge support for 'RIIZE IS SEVEN' at MAMA in the U.S

 https://x.com/NewsKatseye/status/1859352891581980978?t=P9zz9wqzQ4w45_4DibDmUg&s=19

This post is not directly related to KATSEYE, but we encourage all EYEKONS, especially those attending the event, to read the following statement!

Many of you are likely aware of the ongoing situation involving RIIZE, Seunghan, and their label, SM.

RIIZE is set to perform as a six-member group at the upcoming MAMA LA event after the unfair exclusion of Seunghan, the seventh member, from the group.

Even though we are not fans of RIIZE, we strongly oppose bullying and the mistreatment of artists by labels.

Although this may not directly involve KATSEYE, OT7 BRIIZE (RIIZE's fans) will host a fan project as one of the last chances for international fans to make their voices heard. Fans will distribute orange ribbons, banners, and QR codes outside the venue.

The QR codes will provide guides on when and what to chant to express disapproval of SM's decision to remove Seunghan, sending a clear message that international fans do not support this move.

Participation is entirely optional, but we encourage those attending to show solidarity and stand against bullying and unfair management practices. You don't need to spend all day on this.

Additional information and ways to participate, even for those not attending, are linked in the comments.

The fandom of a HYBE artist who has no connection to RIIZE even created a detailed guide. They plan to distribute QR codes for the guides that include detailed information even down to exact timings for chants.

On top of that, another KATSEYE's fan told this fanbase to not meddle in issues of idols from other companies, but this fanbase blocked that fan instead. 

theqoo

-Why are they doing this? Is everyone relate to HYBE crazy?

- Are these people out of their minds? Seriously, are they sane??? Leave RIIZE alone, won't you!

-Are you sure that's really KATSEYE's fans...?ㅋㅋ

-I meanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ SM Ent. is going to debut him as a solo singer. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWhat's their goal? Why is another fandom causing a fuss about him leaving his group? HYBE's idol fans should just focus on their idolsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-HYBE again.

-Don't call them 'international fans'ㅋㅋ Most of them are HYBE stans anywayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ At first, a lot Kpop stans paid attention to this issue but now most of them have stopped and no longer interested. The ones still doing this are all HYBE stans.

-Why are HYBE stans being so loud here?

-They're fans of another group, so why...? I don't get it, just why...?ㅋㅋㅋ Wouldn't this just tarnish their idol's name? Do they think RIIZE has no international fans?

-Why are HYBE fans so obsessed with SM?

-I wonder how much are they getting paid for doing this.

-You dumbasses... It's HYBE that you should be protesting, not SM! Tell them to stop bothering NewJeans.

-Leave SM alone.
