Netizens thoughts after watching Min Heejin's Press Conference today

 [INSTIZ - HOT] Summary of the HYBE situation from NewJeans' parents' perspective

date: 25/04/2024

What was revealed at the press conference

1. They thought their child was debuting as HYBE's first girl group with Source, they said they would recruit two people from outside and debut as the main group.

2. Min Hee-jin took the kids out to ADOR to make them debut.

3. However, Min Heejin was not allowed to promote her own idol group until LSF debuted (she couldn't even promote it on her You Quiz appearance)

4. Anyway, after great care, she debuted them and Bang Si-hyuk didn't say anything during their debut, but when they charted on Billboard, she got this KakaoTalk message from him

trans: BSH:ㅎㅎ are you enjoying this?

MHJ: ㅋㅋㅋ

BSH: why are you laughing? ㅋㅋ

I'm really curious why

MHJ: what? What are you curious about?

BSH: if you are enjoying this

MHJ: do I have a reason not to!

ㅋㅋ You're asking something that is certain so I don't understand. 

What do you exactly mean by this?

5. It hasn't been long since their debut, but ILLIT with a similar concept appeared. The choreography was also used without permission.

I heard that she maintains communication with their parents, so if she had informed them all about this, They might have thought HYBE wasn't very interested or affectionate with the girls.

+ Additionally, since this was released by Min Hee-jin, I am not sure if it is all correct. This was what was revealed briefly

1. Does HYBE have a conscience? They had an intention to make a confusion with Min Hee-jin's girl group?

2. If NewJeans and the parents want to protect themselves, it seems like the right choice is to trust Min Hee-jin rather than HYBE..

3. The benefactor who helped them debut + took care of their kids like a mother... If it was me, I would have trusted her completely and went with her 

• It just feels like HYBE was preventing a daughter from debuting

• After seeing that KakaoTalk message, how can they leave their child in HYBE without Min Hee-jin? They can clearly see how they'll be treated.

4. Min Hee-jin even sold her stocks to bring the kids with her ㅋㅋㅋ

5. Seriously, the only one who takes care of NewJeans is Min Hee-jin, but even if it were me, I would trust Min Hee-jin

6. I hope Min Hee-jin and NewJeans go out together and become even more successful

7. Regardless of Min Hee-jin’s perspective, from the parent's perspective, I have no choice but to trust Min Hee-jin

• I think this too. We probably don't know the internal circumstances of the company, but Min Hee-jin seems to be extremely devoted to the members too.

8. To be honest, even I can clearly see how they will be treated in the future if MHJ doesn't exist in the picture, so I have no choice but to support her

9. From the parents' point of view, since HYBE did not keep their promise, it seems inevitable that their trust will decrease.. Still, I hope they will continue to monitor the situation and make a wise choice for their daughters.. ㅠㅠ

10. From HYBE's point of view, idols = products, but Min Hee-jin feels like she is taking care of the kids by breaking away from being a product. NewJeans were created because Min Hee-jin fought with HYBE and they gave up in the end and invested

11. From the parents’ point of view, they should follow Min Hee-jin. She made ADOR and brought them in to make NewJeans' debut, and they made it such a success...

12. Delaying the debut itself can be seen as a common occurrence, but if the promise had been to debut as HYBE's first girl group, they should have kept that promise. They postponed NewJ's debut for LeSF to debut, it's a big joke.

13. How can you trust the label in that situation? Min Hee-jin openly pushed for the best for her children, but the company just keeps checking her children's group... I completely understand the parents' situation

• I'm not saying Min Hee-jin did well, but it's completely understandable that the members' parents don't trust the company.

14. I also thought it was Min Hee-jin's girl group when they first promoted LeSF

• Me too

15. But even so, dealing with a big company like this is scary

16. But even if MHJ leaves, will HYBE take care of NJ well? That's the biggest problem that I'm thinking of

• I feel like if MHJ leaves, they will want to show everyone that NJ is still doing great and will put in some effort

17. When she appeared on You Quiz, wasn't there confusion if LSF was her group? Or was it that NewJeans was planned first and was not allowed to promote them properly there? I remember she didn't even mention the NewJeans team name when she went on You Quiz.

• At that time, she didn’t even say the NewJeans team name! I only remember them saying that Min Hee-jin was starting a new girl group on You Quiz.

1. Why's he like that? Aren't they from the same label?

• Ah this seriously angers me

2. This is so scary

3. Why is he talking like that? Of course she'd be happy

4. Wow... Bang Sihyuk hates NewJeans the jealously is crazy

5. But when your project becomes successful and then you receive something like that, if you think about you'd be extremely pissed

6. Aren't they affiliated with his company? Why is he like that?

7. No but ㅋㅋㅋ They're a subsidiary girl group too... why is his use of words like that???

8. I feel so bad for them

9. What's with him is he being sarcastic

10. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What's up with him? Isn't this something good for him too

11. They're all in HYBE so if they do well isn't it good for all of them?

12. It looks like those two were fighting? Have fun - ㅋㅋ ​​what a fight...

13. Aren't they singers under his label too? Why is he being sarcastic? ㄹㅇ I’m so curious

14. They both seem to have a lot of pride as producers ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The group they produced are the best and they have zero respect for other groups ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

15. I think adults in their 40s and 50s are having a childish fight

[CAFE DAUM] Min Hee-jin, “My relationship with New Jeans is beyond your imagination

It's very difficult. NewJeans and I have a relationship that is beyond what you think or imagine. We are comforted by each other. She said “They always send me their love.”

CEO Min Hee-jin said that “Hanni asked, ‘CEO, you’re having a hard time right. I’ll go to where you are.’ Haerin who is naturally silent and cat-like, had a video call with me the other day in the middle of the night. She wanted to send a text message but she couldn't find the words. She called because she wanted to hear my voice. I wondered what it was like to raise a child. They cried for 20 minutes. “They said they had a lot to be grateful for and that it’s hard for him not to help me when I’m having a hard time.”

1. I know very well that Min Hee-jin is serious about NewJeans. I support her!

2. “They always send me their love” ㅠ

3. My tears are falling ㅠ 

4. I hope no harm comes to the NewJeans kids... It's the adults' fault.

5. It won't work without Min Hee-jin. NewJeans can't stay in HYBE. Bang Si-hyuk will ruin everything.

6. Even if it was me, I would like a producer who raised me, debuted me, and cared for me. Who wouldn’t??? It can be sad to see someone you care about being attacked and the idols can’t even talk.

7. But within NewJeans-Min Hee-jin, there's also NewJeans' parents, so the term grooming seems like a harsh word,, It's more of an affection for the group she created.

8. I watched the press conference in full and cheered for Min Hee-jin and NewJeans so much...ㅠ

9. But watching this just brought me to tears ㅠ It's so fucking sad.

10. I came back from work but why did the reaction change? Should I watch the press conference?

• Watch it.. I didn't even know time was passing by while watching the press conference

11. The kids seem so gentle and kind that I understand why Min Hee-jin cherishes themㅠㅠㅠ

12. The statement and press conference may have been emotional, but I understand what Min Hee-jin went through, but I don't know how this incident will end... 

13. Let's support NewJeans. It's an adult fight. There's nothing wrong with NewJeans? Is there any reason for us to be angry no matter what choice they make?

14. How can you not talk about the kids? It's the group she is raising. And if it's unfair, that's understandable

• I understand why fans are annoyed, but I also completely understand Min Hee-jin’s feelings.

• The reporter also asked her the question about them first

15. I'm a fan, but I'm on Min Hee-jin's side... I think the girls will be really upset if they meet that bastard Korean male director... Min Heejin as the CEO, I could see how much she cares and thinks carefully when looking at the members

16. It feels like there is a battle of public opinion going back and forth. The atmosphere is different from yesterday ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

17. Try to solve it well...NewJeans with Min Hee-jin is better than New Jeans without Min Hee-jin...

18. It seems like she cares about the kids with a creator mindset. I wonder what they should do since it's her fault for being greedy, but it's a pity... Her affection seems sincere, so whatever...

19. It's so funny that she got upset when the topic of Park Ji-won comes up but when its NewJeans it makes her cry.

20. I understand everything, but please be rational and avoid any legal problems.

21. Oh, I'm so worried about the New Jeans kids. I hope it ends quickly so they aren't having a hard time.

22. She cried when talking about NewJeans, but became cold when talking about Park Ji-won

23. I think the biggest reason she's doing this right now is because of NewJeans... If she wanted to leave NewJeans behind, she would have just left already.

24. It seems like they really care about each other. In some ways, if they really care about each other, they say that not mentioning them there would be more caring, but honestly, I don't think there will be any negative public opinion about NewJeans with the mention of them here. It shows how much the kids followed suit. It's just a shame. Unlike a business relationship, their relationship is very strong

25. Even if they tell her to let go of NewJeans, it seems like she's doing the most because she's worried that they'll be left out in HYBE... 

[THEQOO - HOT] Min Heejin's remarks that is gaining a lot of RTs on Twitter

trans: "What do I do when I'm not working? Like those guys, do I leave with a driver turn off the car and drink alcohol or go and play golf.. Oh?"

I freaking relate to this

It is said that among the high-ranking officials in HYBE, there are only 2 to 3 women.

COMMENTS

1. She said the right words

2. I trust that the notes written on that notepad will be completely cleared up by HYBE's Audit Team, whether the directors of HYBE asked their drivers to drive to a private place, whether excessive payments were made for room salons, golf course, and meal reception as business expenses, and whether they received other quotes when purchasing expensive items. 

3. That's right, the bastards at our company play golf during the day and drink at night. They say it's business, it's personal connections, it's essential, and it's dirty to plot conspiracies.

4. That's so fucking true

5. I don't support Min Hee-jin, but this is so true. Her skills are recognized

6. As a manager, I really sympathize with this... I really hate seeing people playing golf, drinking, and going to karaoke as if they were eating company money. I would never do it with my own money. This is so true.

7. Wow, it’s refreshing // It reminds me of a male junior who used to tell me that no matter how much one’s ability, one’s social life is decided at a drinking party.

8. I don't know about this situation, but as a female office worker, I sympathize a lot. And, even though I didn't mention it, I feel isolated in the conversations that take place while playing golf and drinking.

9. That's right, it seems like they are trying to kick out Min Hee-jin to get 100% shares in New Jeans.

10. This shows you how the high-ranking executives in HYBE play.

11. But isn't this right, the executives always play around with the law, and if the employees below them don't like something, they become abusive.

12. Ah this is so refreshing to hear

13. This is true, even though I don’t like Min Hee-jin ㅇㅇ

14. That's true. The higher-ups solve things with golf and alcohol with legal fees, but those below them don't do anything like that.

15. It's a bit strange that the main consumers of the idol industry are women, but the industry is managed by older men.

16. Min Hee-jin, one of the top foreign hip-hop artists

17. I respect Min Hee-jin so much for holding on in there..

18. Seriously it's disgusting that these senseless men are only occupying high-ranking positions.

19. That big company only has 2 or 3 high-ranking women?

20. I totally sympathize with her ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Didn't you see the pictures of all the male members of HYBE too?

VOTE

i) Became MHJ side (95%, 6443 votes)

• They were trying to bury people through media manipulation but now suddenly all their mouths are shut
• No the funny thing about those people who pretended to be smart and comment under all those articles that HYBE released with their media manipulation, MHJ is now sniping back in her own way... It was HYBE who started the sudden attack in the first place
• If she didn't do this press conference, she would have been hitting her chest in unfairness forever
• The media manipulation done by these bastards are so fucked up

COMMENTS

1. It was HYBE who started the disclosure in the first place and started the fire ㅋㅋㅋ

2. I admit that Min Hee-jin has a fiery and strong personality, but I feel like HYBE is really making dirty media manipulation. Please take care of the legal matters.

3. Until evidence of breach of trust surfaced, I understand Min Hee-jin’s position more.

4. After reading the Hive article, I thought it was all Min Hee-jin's fault and why she did that, but after seeing the press conference, I completely understood her feelings.

5. Both are bad but BangSH is worst

6. Well, I don't want to take either side.

7. Even though I didn't know much about K-Pop since 2019, it seems like a huge company like Big Hit is rushing to kill Min Hee-jin.

8. I'm a BTS fan and I think Min Hee-jin must have felt so unfair, I've also experienced how dirty HYBE's media manipulation is.

9. I also support MHJ. It seems like HYBE was the one who raised a whole scenario that they could have solved quietly amongst themselves.

10. Both are not great, but if I had to choose anyone's side, it would be Min Hee-jin's side.

11. Min Hee-jin says a lot of things that are true, so now I understand her side. A big company's media manipulation is scary.

12. It seems like they are trying to embarrass Min Hee-jin after some internal friction.

13. At the beginning of the press conference, the photographers were asked not to flash their camera flashes, and at the end, the lawyers tried to stop Min Hee-jin from talking, but Min Hee-jin kept talking while holding the microphone. It was so fun that I watched the whole thing even while moving, it was almost a one-person show. Let's go Min Hee-jin!!

14. I don't think they respect Min Hee-jin. 

15. To be honest, I thought Min Hee-jin was greedy, but after watching the press conference today, I understood Min Hee-jin's side.

16. Cheer up, I know she has a bit of a personality, but I can see that she is sincere about her work.

17. It's bizarre and strange to split this into two sides ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I think it's enough to just say that New Jeans will do well. Anyway, I hope New Jeans does well.

18. I don't know about anything else, but there didn't seem to be any intention to take over management rights.

19. Of course Min Hee-jin is the best. Even after watching the press conference, are you still on HYBE's side? How can that person be someone who is interested in management rights? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Also, is there anyone here who doesn't know that HYBE always acted like a bitch? Just a few days ago, they took over some fandom name ㅋㅋㅋ Seeing as we all just forgot about it, the HYBE guys are worthy of being fucking bastards

20. In conclusion, I understand Min Hee-jin more, and I think it is true that Min Hee-jin made too many mistakes with her words. She brought up other companies and groups, etc. Anyway, I think it is the best press conference ever, and if what Min Hee-jin said is true, I hope that she will show an unprecedented result of winning.
