Today's hearing that revealed NewJeans got their MAMA award taken away by Bang Sihyuk

 [instiz] Min Heejin who stated Bang Sihyuk took away NewJeans' MAMA award

date: 17 December 2025

MAMA story Min Hee-jin said:

"They said they'd give us an award, so we went, but the award was switched that day.

I had a conversation with the manager on the phone and I was told that Bang Si-hyuk had said something so that's how this came about.

I had protested to Park Ji-won.

Why are you giving me an award? I wasn't even a nominee, and they suddenly gave it to 'Min Hee-jin' and not to NewJeans. They really have a lot of ways to trick us."

"They told NewJeans to come to MAMA because they were going to give them an award… but after they went through all the trouble of preparing and going there, apparently the award got changed on the day because of Bang Si-hyuk."

1. During that time there was a lot of talk about this. MAMA is a place that usually makes up awards just to give them out, but NewJeans didn’t receive anything.

• I remember this

2. What does it mean how Min Heejin won the award?

• NewJeans didn't receive anything and Min Heejin got the producer award

3. There was a lot of talk back then how all the new idol groups received awards but NewJeans didn't

4. But wasn't that during NewJeans Hypeboy era? Why didn't they get an award??? It's weird that they didn't get an award?

5. But MAMA made an award that didn't exist before and gave it out... But it's a bit strange that they didn't receive any awards.

6. There was a lot of talk about it back then. They gave awards to other girl groups but excluded NewJeans, so everyone was suspicious. Bang Si-hyuk, that bad guy… sigh

7. Bang.. SH I f*king hate him... He really does whatever he wants

8. There was so much talk it about it back then, they didn't receive anything but made them appear for both days

9. NewJeans didn't receive anything...? That's a bit ridiculous

• It’s not like they were just popular, they were an idol group that caused a nationwide phenomenon in South Korea, yet they received no awards… honestly, it’s bound to raise questions.

10. This is freaking funny. There are so many articles about Min Hee-jin's ex-boyfriend, but not a single article about this one ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. Why is there no article about this seriously

12. I hate HYBE

13. Woah so Bang-Pig was capable for this much?
