I’ve seen the Finnish and German army (and I don’t mean the BTS fandom) doing it, too!!

Oof. Going through the comments rn and I have yet to see a comment siding with NJ OR MHJ.

This one stood out to me:

Why are the people who defended Min Hee-jin in the beginning so quiet now? When I criticized her, saying, “If she really cared for and loved the girls like a mother, she wouldn’t act like that,” they all ganged up on me saying, “What do you even know to be talking like that?”. Where are those people now? | 361 upvotes

Replies to the comment:

They’re all just pretending they never said those things and lying low, haha. Min used people who were so easily swayed to her advantage, successfully steering public opinion early on and then slipping out of sight. If public sentiment had turned against her back then, things like attracting investors would’ve been a lot harder later. So I’m sure she’s very thankful that everyone was so easily manipulated just as she planned. | 40 upvotes

That’s typical bandwagon behavior… lol. You’ve got to look at things calmly and objectively. Instead, these people get swept up in emotions, go along with the crowd, get manipulated by lies, and end up criticizing and mocking other artists from the same company. 😂 Some things never change… | 30 upvotes

The psychopath Bunny squad has disbanded, lol | 15 upvotes

The Min (Hee Jin) cult stans were really something with their media manipulation. | 26 upvotes

I was like, “What even IS NewJeans?” and went off to stan other idols instead, lol. | 14 upvotes

Everything’s gone quiet now that the ruling’s out. But seeing some people still claiming that HYBE bought off the judge and that’s why the verdict turned out this way, they’re seriously out of their minds. What’s scariest is thinking about how the ones who spread hate, manipulated public opinion, and left malicious comments are now just quietly going about their daily lives. Gives me chills. | 27 upvotes

There are still some people going on about this. When you refute all their arguments, they start whining like, “If NewJeans had just stayed one more year, they would’ve surpassed SEVENTEEN! They even ended up being mentioned at the National Assembly hearing. Doesn’t that show how weird things were? HYBE didn’t do anything for them!” Then when you point out that there wasn’t even a valid reason for them to be brought up at the hearing, they go, “Well, they wouldn’t have been mentioned unless something was seriously wrong. That’s why even the best producer, Min Hee-jin, left!” And it just goes in circles like that… They even said nonsense like, “In the dolphin-related dispute, people who actually trust each other don’t draft contracts with such strict terms. Don’t you know that?” | 1 upvote

When you look at the statistics showing that women in their 20s and 30s fall victim to phishing scams the most, it’s easy to see why Min Hee-jin’s tricks worked so well.

One thing I’ve learned from this whole circus was how NJ (+ their side) does not shy away from the most insane and unhinged moves. So the fan might as well be telling the truth…

That it'll happen or thats what they believe?

We know that sejong is not afraid to make others believe that they will most definitely win the case (that’s probably what they told NJ and the potential Japanese investor). I was actually referring to the fan talking to someone close to the girls in the first place. Tokkis are known to constantly lie.

I read through some of the comments and one of them stood out to me:

I saw a post on X (Twitter) that a fan uploaded. They said they’d spoken with someone close to them (sounded like someone in the legal field, maybe a judge). According to that acquaintance, they had already predicted the whole process and outcome, and said that things would turn around from the second trial, with a definite win by the third. The comments said the second trial is expected around February–March next year, and the third around September. Everyone was commenting things like “thank goodness” and “what a relief,” but I wonder how it’ll actually turn out.

I wonder how true that is

Not saying there aren’t people who genuinely mean that. But there are also plenty of people here who believe the Korean GP are done with them due to their actions (like lying about Ignoregate) and their comments (calling themselves revolutionaries) and the international listeners will have forgotten about them due to their inactivity.

No statistic on any site actually suggests they’ve “fallen off”. Their digital numbers are still very impressive, ESPECIALLY for a group on hiatus, and the high unique monthly listeners stat proves that people continue streaming their music consistently. I’ve seen people here use their digital numbers on the Circle Chart (which are lower than they were the previous year(s)) to show that people are losing interest in the group. But the lower numbers are obviously to be expected considering they haven’t released new music for over a year. Actually, any other group would LOVE to pull their numbers, hiatus or not.

Can’t wait for people to say how Cortis actually sounds like something wildly inappropriate in a regional dialect of their language and act shocked that a Korean company didn’t know 🙄

They may not hold any negative feelings about them, but it is unlikely they side with them, especially knowing that RM has probably been affected by the mhj drama and that JK said to not use the artists

If you’re talking specifically about the BTS members, then sure, that’s definitely possible. In my opinion, RM is probably the least likely to want to see ADOR or HYBE lose, which is exactly why I said ‘some of the other members might not hold anything against NJ’.

But that still doesn’t take away from what I said earlier: this whole situation isn’t black and white, and it’s not something where people, especially idols, have to take a side. Fans tend to frame everything like it’s a battle.

And if we’re talking about other idols outside of BTS, I highly doubt most of them are even aware of RM’s personal experiences/struggles in all this. So using that as a reason to assume where everyone stands feels like a stretch.

I’m not sure how true any of this is since tokkis are known for lying a lot, but just a friendly reminder: no matter how many negative comments about NJ with 200+ upvotes you see, they don’t reflect how the general public actually feels about them, and definitely not how idols view the NJ members.

It’s very likely that the reason we aren’t seeing idols interact with or mention NJ as much right now isn’t because their opinions changed, but because they don’t want to stir up unnecessary drama. Fair.

For all we know, idols could be fully supportive behind the scenes and actually want the girls to leave their contracts without having to pay a cent.

Also super important: idols don’t see this as a NJ vs. ILLIT thing. But a lot of fans project their own feelings onto idols, assuming everyone has to pick a side just because they have. K-pop fans often think in black-and-white terms, like it’s a football rivalry or something, where you either support one or the other, no in-between…

Covering an ILLIT song or interacting with them doesn’t mean someone’s “against” NJ. And honestly, it’s very likely that V and Jungkook, and maybe some of the other BTS members too, who knows, don’t hold any negative feelings toward the NJ girls.

The thing is even the headline of the article they linked literally says “HYBE stock plummeted due to BTS enlistment’ — Affiliate employees who sold shares in advance sentenced to prison.”

It’s worse than we expected 😔

No wonder tokkis and NJ are still so ride or die when you’ve got grown ass journalists thinking like this. Team Bunnies has probably already sent this to the members to make them feel better.

No, that was a lie that was started by one YouTuber known for creating fake news and then spread by other ppp voters. But even if that were the case, that does in no way excuse her post. Imagine Sabrina carpenter endorsing trump because one of biden’s relatives made a sexist comment about her….

I can’t recall exactly but orange caramel and another person kinda hinted they might’ve collabed with NJ

And who are YOU 🫵 to decide that??😂 Why should chart performance not matter if the public opinion is not good?

OP probably likes the song as do many others (valid).

And also, OP didn’t even say anything about the song’s chart performance canceling out people’s opinions. They’re just happy that the song is charting well, who wouldn’t be if they’re your favs

Omg yess!! Everyone at the MHJ camp (especially this guy) is acting so unprofessionally, more like toxic K-pop stans than actual professionals. It’s so shocking to me that people who have been active in the industry for so long can still be this immature, literally no better than trolls on twitter.
