While I understand the parents wanting to look out for the best wishes of their children, I hope they tread carefully. The LAST THING they need in this situation is to be compared to the greedy and ill-planned actions of the parents of the FIFTY-FIFTY members. That’s unfortunately already trending as people notice the similarities, but they need to do something to put a stop to it sooner rather than later. If they don’t, it could really turn public opinion against the group which would be so unfair to the girls who are so young and caught in the middle.
That's the most normal things asians parents do, let their children be above of someone else, same things happen here
I hope their cats and dog come out to give statement to, who knows how many entity are involve in these scheme of things
Disband oldjeans who has no good music and jail MHJ, ILLIT is the best HYBE's group, with debut PAK and their every song is awesome
You forgot to mention rigged show and rigged member, so much to create a survival shows to scam audience the member are already pre-selected
It matters context always matters it tells who’s lying and what not. You aren’t getting the point here.
She did play a role of raising their image, so she ain't wrong and she nailed it, it's like you chose the trainees let me handle their concept, and she is the CEO of Ador, basically she lead her team and decide what NJ are today
Read the room home girl. MHJ is pushing that narrative that she was the original and everyone else copied her. At the end of the day she did jackshit ahe didn’t recruit the members she didn’t spend her own money training them she was just a leech who got lucky.
Also she were the head of creative branding of NJ, who cares who recruit who...in the end branding is all matters
The more reasons I hate for HYBE:
Scooter Braun
Also dispatch, thx for ruining Jennie, Kai and V dating news, you're not a saint..we all know you're a hybe puppet
MHJ just better and not old disgusting fools Director from HYBE. U all just delulu ffs.
She put her time for her success and now u all hating on her. Get a lifeI've trust MHJ more than BSH with his GLAM, LSF and ILLIT group scandal, BSH really have a bad karma on producing girl group
I think HYBE and specially Bang Si Hyuk are scared of MHJ success.
This timeline is very pointed at highlighting MHJ actions but not the reasons behind them.
1) Bang Si Hyuk since BigHit was not be able to debut a GG, even tho he expressed he planned to.
2) Once he buys SourceMusic, G-friend disbanded and ran for the hills, even tho they were at their prime, with Mago topping charts, cause at the time they were one of the best GG.
3) The reason they hired MHJ is because her previous work at SM, since BSH was obsessed with becoming part of "The Big 3", reason for him to hire her to produce a GG.
4) MHJ was tasked with debuting a GG, so there for she asked for what she believed to be her "needs" 1. own label (cause source music wasn't that great, let's be honest) 2. Girls, she saw potencial in already trained girls who would fit her vision, to say "she ran Source music out of staff or talent" its ridiculous, considering how many trainees have passed by SoMu without debuting.
5) Once MHJ had her own label, SoMu hurried up the debut of LSFM after Sakura and Chaewon joined, which i don't think was an accident but with the intention from SoMu to beat MHJ. Main reason why NJ's debut came as a surprise out of nowhere when it did.
6) BSH thought SoMu would be more succesfull with LSFM, than Ador with NJ, therefore the big promotion behind LSFM as the "top gg", while Ador does not get that attention for HYBE even tho NJ's music, style, sound, members are more liked.
7) So, imagine being always good at your job or school, doing great, but a colleague or classmate who does less, gets rewarded more. Same thing was happening to MHJ, so if she is not being rrecognized by her work she has every right to proetect her work (NJ and Ador) and take it somewhere else (seeking ownership).
8) HYBE selling MHJ stocks wasn't a favor, nor a prize, it was something they agreed on and HYBE knew it was the right move to retain MHJ on Ador, but they didn't think MHJ would start playing chess with them.
9) To all the people who says "She betrayed HYBE" "She is greedy for money" Don't act like HYBE hasn't been buying struggling labels left and right to increase their hand in the kpop market, they are not a saint. MHJ has money, she only wants to keep what she created, as any inventor, creator, or producer would like to.
Good observation
and during these time, hybe are busy buying companies left and right and become music investor rather than a creative company, they come at you when you strike gold, remember when there's a ton of teaser and promotion for LSF debut (focusing on Garam) but when Ador release Newjeans, they just put out 'Attention' quietly with no teaser and promo, it was only 300k views whereas LSF over a million in a day, BSH did market LSF as the female BTS and MHJ label NJ as five Jennies of Blackpink, this is the era when YG and JYP preparing their gg BaeMon and Nmixx
Netizens should question why HYBE leak it to the media before the audit is even concluded.
Without conclusive evidence HYBE is just engaging in media play and using underhand tactic itself.
MHJ should sue all this anonymous platform for defamation
Finally someone with reasonable observation, I find it weird Mr.A from Ador according to previous article are missing here, he's also playing a major role here...and Hybe are shady as hell to paint MHJ as the bad apple, she did release a statement Belift Lab plagiarize her group concept but it seems missing here as well
Isn't the previous article stated there's no outside investor involvement found within the audit?? The only thing MHJ want is clarification from Belift of plagiarizing her group?? Also there's no mention of Mr.A of music exec in this article, there's alot of contradiction between this report
Come back when they beat
NJ 611 PAK 'Ditto'
ILLIT already broke many Newjeans records, that's why MHJ got pissed. Yesterday Perfect all-Kill with debut song, only Blackpink did that.
Because of pure free marketing from rigged survival shows and payola, NJ don't need that with 'Ditto'
Fun fact: HYBE already owns NewJeans, since they own ADOR.
Fun Fact: No MHJ no NewJeans
I smell Hybe mediaplay, the really want to get rid of MHJ so bad to fully own NJ when their own gg can't compete with NJ
NJ was preparing for comeback, there's no way they can do 2 days Coachella in the US
look at the big picture, Bang PD want short term success by sending LSF there and now he shoot his own foot
Now you know why LSF are the one sent to Coachella first when they're not that well known internationally compare to Newjeans, Bang PD want the same kind of NJ popularity, but they fail so bad they had to make narrative for MHJ to take over the group when all she did is showing dissatisfaction against ILLIT plagiarizing her group but being constantly ignored, HYBE are not saint here too
I got confuse by this whole photo exhibition thing, are they going to put out in museum?? Or just look at me I'm pretty please buy my photobook thing??
No, I've watched my own employer fire, blacklist, and threaten legal action against employees for mentioning projects they were working on in their LinkedIn profile updates because those updates could potentially give competitors a road map of future product releases. Min Hee Jin is lucky she hasn't been fired and sued yet, and it's not surprising she found someone else to take the fall.
I'm looking at all this with the lens of actual real-life experience, not K-pop fantasies.
Or you could say they set it up purposely to divert leeserafim atrocious performance in coachella, they suceed tho, now everyone glued to their seat on this drama
and you get the $10. You wanna get free money without doing the work? Be grateful you have a job
When you had a toxic work environment and paid shit, no thanks
You know what's the best part? That HYBE's CEO well credited all staff and artist. All up highers will protect the staff and artists. He didn't said it thanks only to up highers and he himself that HYBE can go so far. Well, unlike someone who said everything thanks to her alone.
Same like what my company tell us for our hardwork here's a bonus $10, please work hard more
"Dear All,
We will arrest those who will try to demoralize our company, so please stay strong and work hard for our artist comeback, for those who work in hand with complicitors, punishment shall awaiting you, annyeong"
Is what basically he said
Go big or go home, Im team MHJ all the way
Same, not many has visions like her especially like f(x) pink tape, that album is just *chef kiss
Well she did reach out to them but get cold shoulders instead
She plagiarized frm japanese group called speed too. Plus the only thing illit "plagiarized" is long black hair. Their songs sound nothing alike
And Illit are cheap copy of Japanese artist Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
No you are wrong. NJ exists because of HYBE. Without HYBE first funded of 16B to ADOR and offering the role to MHJ, there will be no ADOR and NJ. Let's start from there.
yup you've just prove my point, without MHJ there's no NJ
Hybe the greed company, he's going to own SM soon, the one who takes the biggest pie is the winner, MHJ is the creator of NJ, and Hybe were the supporter of that pillar, it's all business here, for me NJ exists because of MHJ, not the way around, hybe is just an investor entity going for biggest cake
Don't forget Hybe going to own SM too, so I'm not going to trust Hybe
But we have seen her shadiness and creepiness so your saying because we haven't seen others that means we should let her get away with it?
You can say that to YG and Lee Soo Man too and they still thriving, matter of fact the whole industry of kpop is predatory in nature, why take only in one sided perspective??
No scandals? Did you miss the whole MHJ is a pedophile scandal? She is disgustingly creepy. She has photos in her home of movies about old men with young teenagers, she gave cookie to newjeans, and she has done numerous inappropriate photo shoots with fx and shinee. She may be a genius, but she is still disgusting.
You can say that to korean music companies too, there's lot of shady business behind the scene we don't get to see
how so exactly? i dont see it all. cute songs, cute colors, cute outfits, cute vibes, nj is light music but not cuteness
If 'supershy' not cute to you then I don't know your definitions of cute
except she started her plan early 2024 when illit hadnt even debuted and she isnt from belift lab so she wouldnt know a thing about the groups concept. she planned to make everyone hate hybe artists so they would have to sell ador entirely to her. she isnt trying to protect anything, she was just greedy. she didnt gather all the senstive information she had access to in 1month of illit's debut.
ugh they all in same building, of course she has the power to see Illit concept looks like as she's the ceo of ador herself, hybe is the one greedy here blatantly copy NJ aesthetic, illit debut is so NJ debut coded.
All those people who are still supporting that pedophile min hee jin need to seek mental help asap
You can say that to almost all music company in korea
I understand the fact that she is upset about the similarities between the groups, but that doesn't give her the right to allegedly leak confidential information about the company and even worse, about artists who have no relation to the case, as they are all protected by contracts and are being unduly disclosed, realizes that the discrepancy that she pointed out as one of the reasons, does not make them at the same level, one is irritation (and she has the right to be) and the other is a crime (if this is proven)... data leaks, defamation, third party personal information and confidential contracts.
Honestly, after the entire investigation is completed and both parties are heard, UNFORTUNATELY, the most harmed will be the NewJeans girls, because in the end everything will be their decision and that of their guardians, in terms of which side they will take, or follow the MINHEEJIN leaves the company (having to break the contract with HYBE, incurring termination fines and the like), they would have to open another company or join an already established company and this would delay the schedule by at least a few months in relation the future promotions and the other case would be to continue with HYBE, but without MINHEEJIN.
I hope the girls went with MHJ, Hybe are just milking with NJ at this rate, for me If I hit the jackpot with producing top groups, I would do the same too, pull them out before Hybe took in control over all their brand when MHJ is the creator of Newjeans, it's all about business, HYBE are pulling Disney move
what is the other GG apart from le sserafim and illit?
KATSEYE, but they haven't made a debut yet
Bang PD never had the experience creating gg besides GLAM whereas MHJ have tons of experiences managing SM artist, even LSF and ILLIT are so mediocre compare to Newjeans, let's be real here ILLIT is cheap copy of Newjeans, none of their member could hold a candle to their sister group, they are not made for western group, just focus on KATSEYE Bang PD!!
Bang pd copied nothing frm nj you dumbwhore. Many groups already used the same song style like loona, oh my girl and even twice
You're hearing got problem
I dont like her coz she has that weird vibes concept of her but it feels like they're worried since she's gaining more and doing well with her group. And New jeans are getting more popular while their own two GG are getting bash
Cuz hybe don't know how to manage girl group, they only focus on visual but it does not work on western audience, MHJ Newjeans are exceptional cuz she's got tons of experience with SM before managing artist like f(x), SNSD, etc
the interesting part is : knetz actually predicted this few months ago when MHJ became a major shareholder
They said her greed would eventually take over her and HYBE would get rid of her
In fact many predicted that ILLIT was Bang PDs way of showing MHJ that he can make any gg she wants big and that she is nothing special (he basically copied her formula to make a hit gg)
ILLit the cheap knockoff walmart copy of Newjeans
How does a cute concept equal pedophilia? I don't see the connection
Korean and their obsession with aegyo looks, never come across in your mind ahjussi idolizing these minor idol?? There's a site for these perverted sicko, made me want to throw up just to think about it, idols entertainment are just shady, only if you don't see certain perspective you'll never see it
I haven’t liked her since day one. Just because of all the underage photography she had and she gives predator vibes. I’m glad she was able to get new jeans to where they are but I honestly think they are safer and better without her.
Basically you can say this to all music company in korea, remember Hyuna Bubble Pop?? IU with her Lolita costume?? How bout LSF Eunchae with her choreo?? Or ILLIT concept?? It's giving pedophile vibes, stop seeing with one eyes open!
I'm with Min Hee Jin here, afterall she did better job than HYBE on output quality, and MHJ was the one behind creative director of f(x) Pink Tape, her visions are top notch, no one debut gg like her, she is like the Shinsadong Tiger of creative management, I see HYBE want to fully control Newjeans and MHJ see the potential of these girl to go big and decide to seperate them with hybe, HYBE is the MONOPOLY here >:(
Well suits their brand 'I'm Fearless' by using AR track I guess
Pick me girl vibes posting on ig be like
Wanna know what's funny? They're going to perform again for week 2 of Coachella. We're about to go through this BS all over again. And you know their most vociferous haters are going to watch again
Can't wait, they deserved it, to remind them and other groups to not normalizing backtrack on their korean music stages, what they should be working on is the product of what they've made today...I'm tired of popular group get the spotlight when there's other group can do much better than these dancer, I hope this lipsync trends die
Is he still in closet?? What's with the pronouns
If you can't compete, ban them basically what these greedy corporation mean
