I’m so tired of hybe vs ador both these groups of teenage girls are being caught in between two 40-50 year olds beef it’s ridiculous

[@thylionheart]

Seriously, and it’s so frustrating how the adults in this situation can’t just confine their issues to the court-they have to drag the names and alleged opinions of NewJeans themselves into press releases. Like, it literally feels like parents going through a divorce and trying to wield the kids against their ex.

[@kaesijoo444]

@@thylionheartit's so sad i feel bad for them

[@faeriegraver]

I agree. I feel so sad for the members. It's not right at all to be using their emotions to sway public opinions. A lot of the allegations are petty, too. The problem is whatever happens the damage is done. Other groups have been caught up in this mess too. Notably Le Sserafim. I can't wrap my head around the problem with them debuting before NewJeans... That's one of the most childish and ultimately irrelevant things I've seen being thrown around. It's so unprofessional to have made this storm of drama. No matter how things are resolved people are going to question things. I'm not sure how this can end well for everyone. I really loved ILLIT's debut, and I've loved most of NewJeans songs. ILLIT were doing so well, too. I don't think the accusations of copying are fair, and it's wild to make all this drama when people online and the media can be so toxic. Backlashes can reverse, too. One day everyone can have one target for their hate, and then they can do a complete 180° and love the old target and hate the ones they were loving and supporting before. It's inexcusable to stir up drama in this way, especially when the members involved are all so young. I really hope it gets resolved quickly, but I'm worried that the mess so far is going to cause a lot more issues no matter what.

[@wanderingtraveler217]

That's just it, Hybe is trying to keep it in a legal setting but Min Heejin and her team are bound and determined to keep this in the court of public opinion. Everything that keeps coming out is all set to make her look like a saint when the fact of the matter is that she made a gamble and lost. As for Bang PD not acknowledging them, will we ever know if that is the truth or has it been Min Heejin, who has been playing the long game and has set this in motion for a while manipulating behind the scenes. The only people I feel sorry for is those girls. Between Min Heejin acting like a moron in public and getting the parents to air supposed dirty laundry in public it will truly be a miracle if those girls get to keep the careers that they have been working so hard for.

[@DaisyDee5610]

@@Nahazii You know, the girls have to suck it up and grow up. They are treated better than TXT - they have a luxurious apartment and their own rooms whereas Kai and Taehyun still share a room and it took them 3 years for TXT to get a better apartment, NJ became brand representatives within one year or earlier, they got the top floor of HYBE, they were given stylists, makeup artists, vocal and dance teachers, etc. Their CEO is the highest paid. And don’t tell me ADOR paid for this - HYBE did. HYBE supplied them with the best music. After all this, MHJ is the one using NJ and their parents as a shield to protect herself from the illegal stuff she did. HYBE produced witnesses and texts that shows she lied - she leaked private company info to an outside investor. It is in the court documents. They won’t allow such things unless there is evidence. And the documents also show MHJ called NJ stupid fat pigs and their fans as losers.

[@crushedflora2696]

I said the exact same thing 😂 the company only had 1 group and Tae lived there. Yet, BangPd would always ask "who's that kid". I can understand both a kid's hurt feelings and someone w/face recognition issues. After Tae called him out, guess he made more of an effort.

Not being able to recognize faces doesn’t mean you can be rude and not answer to someone greeting you in the first place… if it was in the company building, someone who greets him is obviously from the company so his excuse means he doesn’t even greet his employees ??? That’s kind of rude

[@mmisafire]

I know a lawyer who reached out his hand to shake the hand of a judge and was ignored in front of a whole crowd. He had to move on from that humiliation. You don’t think this complain about a junior kpop girl group not being greeted back by the founder of one of the largest music company in the world is a bit entitled? SMH.

[@AlgParis]

@@HailToTheMeep I’m not saying it’s not entitled, I’m just commenting about his excuse… just like your example, it was rude from the judge to not shake the hand of the lawyer. it just shows they are rude people in the first place. Of course getting offended by the behavior of a rude person is a personal thing and not everyone reacts the same but I just pinpointed that the behavior was rude and his excuse wasn’t one. Like if they said « I’m sorry I must have been deep in my thoughts and didn’t hear the greeting » it would have been way more believable than « I can’t recognize faces » that means « I only great people of importance/i know»…

Winter is sickly, and needs to rest. this insane amount of work is only going to make it worse. it’s affecting how the group performs: they are less likely to sing live, and have to be a bit tamer with their choreography. i wish SM would’ve pushed back the release of Armageddon. i worry for Winter’s well-being.

The groups are more than likely not the original creators so it can’t be stolen from them by other groups.

@@momogogochew I get what you’re saying about originality but groups are allowed to be inspired by other groups. If they’re not 100% ‘copying and pasting’ so to speak, the group then we have to accept that that’s just what happens. People get inspired by others in life.

[@deathgazer22]

U jus missed the Ador Hybe coutrroom stuffs. Allegedly MHJ said alot of gross things on Kakaotalk. Oh boy, things gonna get even more ugly..

[@KPOPJunkee]

Yeah this video was uploaded around the time court hearings started. Like I said in the video, going forward I'm going to wait for a significant outcome of these trials before speaking on them. Hope that makes sense!

[@rajnandiniT]

New jeans and their parents are supporting the wrong side and they'll regret later

[@butterfliesonmymind705]

This just makes it even more clear for me that minors should NEVER debut in the kpop industry

[@aifi28]

Aren't you going to address how rude some of the people in the crowd reacted to triples's first win?

[@KPOPJunkee]

Yeah I saw that too 😣 but just like everything else in these videos, ill have to see if the girls address it (or something along those lines)

[@Department_of_Justice]

MHJ is going to prison.

Sympathy farming by giving Wonhee the phone to moderate their chat while there is 20 staffs behind the camera is CRAZY.

Bang Si-hyuk, while being a decent writer and producer, isn’t the best CEO. He’s had more groups fail then succeed and girl groups specifically have been a constant issue. I honestly don’t believe a word coming out of his mouth or HYBE’s PR team.

ILLIT music is nothing like NewJeans

[@mahabubajannathashi1199]

You’re right, Newjeans is unmatched

[@whyjoonsad]

i think its more the concepts and choreography they’re referring too bc like you said, the music between the groups for sure sound nothing alike

[@orbitsomnia]

​@@whyjoonsadNo one owns a concept tho- I dont stan either group and i dont really care abt the whole mess its become now but at first when mhj was like "hybe copied me and replaced newjeans" that just sounded crazy to me. She doesnt own this type of styling/fashion, wasnt the first to do it and the mv concepts for nwjns are literally taken from the 90's how is that an original idea?

[@La-PetitMort]

​@@orbitsomniaIf you don't care or listen to either group, why comment on it at all? Ultracrepidarian

[@orbitsomnia]

@@La-PetitMort bc its part of this video? and theres news abt it everywhere? just bc i dont stan the group or care much abt the company/ceo doesnt make it less of a relevant topic that i get to talk abt just like everyone else I have my opinions but don't engage much with the topic, this is like the only comment i made abt it in this channel, and tho i dont stan nwjns or illit i still hope for the best, that the groups dont get too affected in the end bc they didnt deserve to be brought into this

Hiiii

[@ladyteruki]

Is it a bad time to confess that I don't see the big deal with the alleged "copying" of NewJeans by ILLIT ? (or rather, their teams) Similar concepts, songs and/or dance moves happen ALL THE TIME in Kpop. It's the least proprietary thing in the world to have "teenage innocence" as a concept for a girl group or song, we've seen idols do that for decades. As for choreos, the internet is full of TikToks, Shorts and more, comparing dozens of groups using similar moves... nothing new under the sun. HYBE and ADOR/MHJ need to stop this bullsh*t before it kills one or even two golden geese. For all the comparisons with the FIFTYFIFTY legal soap opera, we seem to forget that the main takeaway was that this sh*t froze the group for months (completely botching the Barbie tie-in in the process) and then most members left. We'll see what the June comeback brings... I'm not optimistic for now. HYBE and ADOR might want to stop the BS before we get to the ugly part of this drama.

[@likwid_magma]

NWJS complaining about ILLit choreo is just more of the toxic negativity and mean-spirited mudslinging we've come to expect from ADOR. IVE did the same choreo two years before NWJS did. Under the law there's no such thing as copyright for choreography, which means the NWJS choreographer can go pound sand. Everybody copies everyone else in kpop, including NWJS who blatantly rip off the videos and styling of jpop groups then cry about other people copying them. If you want actual originality you're following the wrong genre. And if you want positive uplifting messages and artistry you should stan groups like BTS and SVT instead of whatever these toxic ADOR people come up with.

A one year hiatus just to find a Grammy awarding producer that seems fishy to me cuss knowing HYBE they can just find a Grammy producer real quick with all the money they have I don’t listen to newjeans at all but I hope they will be ok but the one year hiatus seams a bit fishy to me and I do feel bad for ILLIT for getting some hate because they had nothing to do with this

[@nancybarajas7555]

Im honestly disappointed with the way BSH is dealing with the whole situation. Both sides need to stop involving their artists.
