HYBE is facing criticism once again post the business misrepresented BTS Jungkook’s remarks on the current dispute with former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin surrounding NewJeans.
Jungkook started the talk by sharing two Instagram photos, which many saw as endorsing the female group in their conflict with parent label HYBE. While Jungkook didn’t specifically mention NewJeans in his posts, his captions—”Artists are not guilty” and “Don’t use them”—were interpreted as a reaction to the chaotic circumstances.
To address the posts, BIGHIT MUSIC issued a statement in which they stated that Jungkook thought that young musicians shouldn’t get involved in conflicts or be exploited as scapegoats.
BIGHIT MUSIC stated: We have confirmed that this was posted with the belief that, under no circumstances should young artists be dragged into disputes or used as shields.
Yonhap News TV (YNT) has released a fresh article, nevertheless, that has some people worried about the company’s reaction. The report claims that BIGHIT was unable to verify if Jungkook used the phrase “shield” himself, which raised concerns that the organization might have manipulated his message in an attempt to retaliate against Min Hee Jin.
Numerous supporters and online users are now accusing HYBE of misrepresenting Jungkook’s goals, contending that the business may be utilizing his posts to support itself while quietly disparaging the former CEO of ADOR.
