i'm done with this Min Hee Jin stuff

[@HailToTheMeep]

Good for you. Because everyone can see what is going on already. Ador isn’t hers to take. The rest is irrelevant. Thank you for hard work. Please take care of your throat!!

[@moonlight_antonio]

Yes its time to move on and talk about new things. Thanks so much, HailToMeep! I will take good care of it. I have two more procedures to do in the future so I will try to take it easy. 🙏♥️

[@HailToTheMeep]

PS: there is a Korean article saying that it has been an industry open secret that Min Hee Jin has been trying to steal Ador and New Jeans.

[@moonlight_antonio]

I can definitely believe that. I mean, she was collecting a lot of information to throw at HYBE, It sounds like there was always some kind of secret plot brewing in the background for a long time.

[@HailToTheMeep]

@@moonlight_antonio Indeed. This is consistent with what someone was saying on how HYBE has always been on a “defensive” with her. I can’t remember who said it. I quoted that from somewhere. But I remember thinking, then insiders have sensed tensions too. She is always demanding for more and more, and it seems to me as if HYBE and all the companies under it had to keep making a lot of last minute adjustments to get her what she wants. As if she had something over them. One example was insisting on the phrase about defeating BTS’ records, going against the company culture of not using a certain kind of tone publicly. So from the start she feels she isn’t part of the others but in competition with them. This really makes me wonder what they see in her to risk all that.

[@AwakeningWings]

@@HailToTheMeep At SM her work was getting attention, but again she's not a good person to work with. BigHit took a risk and now they won't be hiring people like they did with Min HeeJin.

[@R2Mw19]

I agree with you! MHJ is not ok mentally. You don’t have to have a PhD to see that. Disturbing and concerning. TY for the video.

[@lynnpulling268]

Legal stuff takes time. I am not holding my breath for answers from investigations yet.

[@nhjeihdu]

The bottom line is that she wanted to steal something. And regardless of whether you love or dislike Bg, morals should come first. If Bg decided that he wanted to take JYP when he decided to do an entertainment business, do you think he would still be friends with him or with other people in business? There are lines that no one should cross and mhj did just that on all levels; including sexxxualising kids.

[@moonlight_antonio]

Well said Kidjewel👍

[@AwakeningWings]

She's been stirring up trouble for a while now. I don't know when she'll quit with the gaslighting and strange behavior. And the things she's said about the fans and NewJeans sound like what a narcissist would say about other people. It's verbal abuse.

[@sallynguyen4403]

From what I've heard, BeLift isn't accusing Min Hee Jin of plagerism. They were trying to show that Min Hee Jin isn't the original creator of the Y2K concept and that a lot of the things they were accused of are false. If anyone wants more in depth explanation of whole situation, I'd recommend watching Asian Entertainment and Culture on youtube. She's pretty concise in her explanation on her most recent video regarding BeLift.

[@charstar386]

People who hate on Bang Si Hyuk never have any examples or evidence of what he’s done that makes them hate him. It’s hilarious. He’s a visionary who tried something more egalitarian in forming BTS. I respect the man.

[@moonlight_antonio]

To be honest, I think that’s why people dislike him so much, because he dares to do something different, and people want the same thing repackaged over and over again, the same formula over and over again, and he’s saying, ‘no let’s explore and expand what K-pop is’ because there’s an untapped market for K-pop beyond just Korea. People tend to feel threatened by new and innovative ideas, and they definitely feel threatened when they see those ideas being put into action, but I think what Bang PD has done is pretty amazing and it’s not some thing that people should look at in a bad light. As for if he’s done something tangible, I still have yet to hear something bad that Bang PD has done to someone, be it a staff member or a group….. other then “he didn’t greet my girls”….. eeeeeh that ain’t gonna cut it.

[@SugaVit]

[@moonlight_antonio]

@poppette1978 thank you for your prayers, I need all the prayers I can get these days.🙏 And I am getting ready to talk about the aftermath MHJ’s actions have caused within the industry. I think that is very important and even though it’s not over yet, I think this is the right time to talk about it, so in a way I am not quite finished yet. I’m glad that BTS wasn’t affected by this situation like MHJ wanted, I’m so happy for Jin being discharged from the military. And I agree that what Bang PD was accused of is beyond the scope of reason and it’s really not as huge deal as it was made out to be, calling it miss treatment was a huge stretch.

[@eileencritchley4630]

I went and looked at the Cookie thing and was so shocked by it and then went and looked at her claims about it and it didn't wash with me.

[@_parkmoondae]

What MHJ did is unethical in a corporate standard. But in a space like the kpop community, most fans do not care about those kind of stuffs... wc is sad, in a way.

[@addy8078]

I worry about Min Heejin too, calling a shaman by your deceased sister’s name is not normal behaviour! Also she’s constantly alluding to… sewer side ality. She could genuinely need help but a lot of manipulators threaten to unalive themselves so people will do what they say. It’s very toxic

[@moonlight_antonio]

Yes exactly, it’s called weaponizing your mental illness to get what you want. She’s done that, even if she doesn’t think she has a mental disorder. And it’s very toxic indeed.

[@moonlight_antonio]

If she is aware of her mental illness, that’s even worse.

[@AwakeningWings]

I just wonder when BigHit was hated so much and Bang Shi-Hyuk. What exactly did they do, to be hated so much. 🤔😅 I never understood the hate. The companies aren't great but to be hated like this, it's odd.

[@Imme_begin]

It is a smear campaign by orchestrated by MHJ.

[@SugaVit]

What is odd & fishy is the timing of it 🙄

[@moonlight_antonio]

@lotusfloat2020 I agree, the timing is fishy.

[@eileencritchley4630]

Succeed when they weren't supposed to succeed. When you know e story of Bang PD, BTS and BigHit and the history of the Big 3 Kpop companies you'd understand. They did what the Big 3 had wanted to do for years and failed to do. Now they are biggest Kpop company. It's jealousy that not only did they do it they did it despite being denied access to what all the Big 3 Companies had access to.

[@emilylee9894]

MHJ has implemented a plan to devalue Hybe's valuation that includes defamation, character assignation, smear campaigns against other Hybe group members, Chairman Bang, and Hybe. Most of this seems to be bot driven, initiated by strategic internal leaks of personal, medical, and private info, to tabloid and social media & by hired PR firms, i.e., funeral wreaths by nonexistent or newly existing "heads of So Korean ARMY" that can't be traced nor audited.

[@themarc4890]

Neither ador nor blift are doing anything strikingly new. From what I can tell, it takes a few years for a group to fully flesh out their concepts and figure out their synthesis as a group. I just wish that the artist were more protected from this mess.

[@Imme_begin]

Actually I’ve heard some things about Illit that ARE different from other things. They have sort of two sides: the fantasy side and the real me side. If you watch Asian Entertainment and Culture, one of her videos does a good job of describing it. I’m not saying this as a fan. It’s just that their concept actually sounds interesting, especially if they end up doing something similar to the BTS’s BU. I don’t listen to any girl groups. 😊

[@hbrant]

​@@Imme_beginAnd that's why Min Hee-jin is attacking Illit because nobody should take anything from BTS other than her children, NewJeans. Min Hee-jin's jealousy towards BTS have been going on since the days EXO and BTS were in competition. Min Hee-jin has already a problem that Illit's staff took BTS' telepathy missions in Illit's pre-debut. Try to make Illit as big as BTS in the future something Min Hee-jin can't accept and get behind. She wanted to conquer Bang Si-hyuk and BTS, but Illit are humbled for BTS' hard work and hope they can someday win a grammy award like their seniors did. What Yunah said on Knowing Bros. Min Hee-jin will not take this lightly. She is a narcisstic psycho.

[@katiaferreira4370]

The whole thing is a mess and yes it is mentally draining. All I would like to personally see happen is that investigations are done properly and that justices prevails in having her answer for her actions. She is obviously not right in the head but it’s not excuse for cruel and criminal behaviour. And even though she is mental her narcissism (high levels of it) are obvious and dangerous. She can’t remain in the company and I will say that she should not even be in the kpop industry altogether. I find the Korean justice system ridiculous and the police take forever with investigations. I mean look at the stock manipulation investigation involving Kakao… the burning sun matter was also lengthy and so many others … list is endless

[@moonlight_antonio]

I agree she really has no business being in K-pop in any capacity. She needs to just go quietly. Will she?… No because that’s not what she’s shown her character to be. She wants to drag everybody down with her ( If people view me as a good guy, then great, I have won🏆. However, if I’m going to be the villain, I want the other party to be seen as the villain also. I don’t want to be the villain alone ) that’s what I get from her. She plays this role in front of everyone like she’s a protective mother and she’s just doing this to protect new jeans, but she’s really just doing this to protect her own image and reputation. New jeans is just use as a shield. And that’s what I have observed from this.

[@SugaVit]

Concernant le TXT il s'est passé beaucoup de choses, c'est elle. ça commencé par MHJ qui a déclaré vouloir créer un groupe comme les TXT ; les scandales sur le groupe ont commencé à partir de ce moment là. les fanes de TXT accusait déjà MHJ de cette situation bien avant que que son problèmes avec HYBE ne commence.

In the end she'll have to turn it over as it's company property not her private property and if she's thrown in the River then it's destruction of company property oops that's means getting sued.

Actually NewJeans aren’t all innocent in this. Minji put Aespa stickers all over the HYBE building as rebellious graffiti. She may be a teenager but she needs to learn to respect her place of employment that’s given her so much. I hope they made her peel them all off, teach her that her actions have consequences, because right now those girls worship MHJ and I fear they’re learning some bad behaviors from her.

[@eileencritchley4630]

Yes it's not fare on the the companies cleaning/maintenance team to have to clear up what that young girl did. You don't go into the place you work and do what she did. I can just imagine someone doing that in a company, they'd get verbal splap over the wrist and told to clean up the mess they've just made and make good any damage that might result from trying to remove the mess they've made. Her actions wouldn't even be tolerated in a school environment let alone a place of work.

[@pannapaklongvitaya3787]

They, I mean NG girls already absorb evil mind from their mentor with no doubt. I feel sorry for HYBE and BSH to have to swallow this pains from these people. Well, just take it as a lesson in life for the future about people with greed and shameless .

[@moonlight_antonio]

Wow, she did that? Well, if that was my daughter, I would’ve had her peel them off the walls too lol. I don’t think that they had anything to do with MHJ’s decisions, but I still believe they were used in someway and maybe even influenced by older figures (particularly MHJ). That said, I can’t excuse Minji’s behavior, wrong is wrong. Something in me just has a hard time, believing that she would do something like that of her own volition without being told something / fed something… Just something doesn’t seem right. And I’m not even trying to find an Ave where she’s innocent, just something doesn’t sound right about her putting aespa stickers all over the HYBE building because she wanted to or she felt like it, I’m in conflict with that. Not saying that can’t be true, but saying that I think that there is a bigger picture in this. That’s just my thought process I could totally be wrong. And I don’t mind it. I do agree with you though, she needs to learn to respect her place of employment, but I also feel like the worshiping of MHJ is due to whatever MHJ has fed them. ‘HYBE doesn’t care about you, Bang PD doesn’t care about you’. I don’t know if she’s said anything to them like that, but I believe she said something to them like that, I also believe she probably said some stuff to the parents too, to make the parents feel some type away about Bang PD as well Some thing that I think about is that MHJ was entrusted with those girls, by HYBE, and as such the parents entrusted their daughters to her care. Whatever they are learning now, they’re learning it from her. That is my perception of this situation. And with regard to Minji, did anybody say anything about it or talk to her after she did it? Did anyone ask her why she did it? Where did she get the idea? or anything? Was it some thing she did on her own? Or is there something bigger going on? That’s what I want to know.

[@AwakeningWings]

I wondered if anyone heard of this alleged incident before. I don’t know if it’s true, the Garam situation as well as other similar cases, have not been confirmed by substantiated sources and evidence, so I’m not even going to go any further with it.

They say the accusation of plagiarism that BTS used to go through in the beginning of their career it was part of her work with sm because BTS started to win the major awards keeping the band she worked with from winning so she started a smearing campaign, but I don’t think by herself the company did this with her as you said allegedly

@lanasoso5330 yeah it’s not coming up, and idk if this guy was apart of a group and if so, what the name of the group is, otherwise I would’ve typed the group name along with the artist name.

Even though I’m done with this MHJ stuff, I’m still curious about potential issues surrounding this situation. I will keep my eyes and ears open and see if I can’t find anything on this other alleged artist with V’s name. interesting, if it is true that she instigated a smear campaign against BTS, I too believe she wouldn’t have been able to do it without a special kind of help from SM.

Yes exactly, I remember him talking about situations like that, and he even said he’s not biased, he’s just seeing the same red flags that others have been seeing, and forming his opinions based on what evidence has been presented. I know that there are people who don’t like Seoullite, because people can’t trust media in any way, shape, or form due to constantly being lied to by so many media outlets, but I don’t think all media outlets should be viewed in such a monolithic manner that people just avoid anything and everything, no matter what.

He’s been doing good covering on this and he’s not biased. I think a lot of people feel like if you put one side on blast and you don’t say anything negative about the other side, if you don’t keep the same energy that you’re giving to one party to the opposite party, then you’re being biased, but he’s only saying things about MHJ based on the evidence that was presented. He’s not trying to be biased, he just sees the red flags and he’s even said as much in his coverage. I’m glad you brought this up 👍♥️

[@moonlight_antonio]

​@@SugaVit I’m trying to be better, and more understanding. I think it’s because people have been lied to by the media so many times that when someone finally comes out and gives their own thoughts and opinions on an issue based on the evidence that’s been presented about said issue, people can’t bring themselves to believe it so they say that their opinions are not their own, and that they were formulated because of what the media put out because the narrative is that “the media always lies”, no matter what, so I do understand where this person is coming from because I’ve thought the exact same thing, that the media is always lying…always always always, but that’s not always the case, and I hope people understand that as time goes on. There is biased in a lot of media, absolutely, but I don’t look for the bias parts. I look for the factual parts, and I for my opinion in that way. ALL K-POP has bias, SOOMPI has bias, KOREABOO has bias, etc. so I cross reference all the articles from each of the outlets to see what’s being reported on consistently between those outlets, and I try to find more credible outlets that aren’t so based for one side or the other. The funny thing is, more often than not, I tend to find the less biased information from independent K-pop fans, who put together timelines of incidents within K-pop with no biases. They just create a timeline of the events in chronological order so that you can form your own opinion based on the story itself and of course, you can fact check a timeline a lot easier than you can fact, check a news article, which is where I got the bulk of my information from regarding this story.
