“The girls were not offended at all. They received payment two months after their debut. They didn’t have crazy schedules. Immediately after their debut, they became ambassadors for luxury brands. And they are entitled to a long vacation after each promotion. They are the only HYBE girl group to appear in a BTS music video.”
“NewJeans have never been bullied, but now that Min Hee Jin is having problems with HYBE, she claims otherwise. She also claims that ILLIT is copying NewJeans.”
“Offended? This is so absurd that there’s not even anything to add.”
“Are NewJeans offended?”
“If NewJeans are truly offended, then many groups could sign up for such ‘bad’ treatment.”
“Each participant has his own room in expensive apartments. Perhaps this is mistreatment.”
“I want to know what Min Hee Jin means by ‘mistreatment’.”
