I know that even if they have a career after all this they are gonna flop and blame hybe for it saying they are sabotaging their careers. Sorry but in my eyes they are no extraordinary talent. They are not artists but just idols that can sing and dance which hybe paid to make them better.They may be talented but not talented enough that they can’t be replaced.They should’ve learned from fifty fifty

[@TheBioExplorer]

Because Hybe is different and that is why they get so much hate from "the powers that be". Hybe grew from nothing and worked hard to grow. They didn't come from "old family money". They have been a threat to the staus quo. This is why these other companies have worked hard at discrediting them. They even use reverse viral marketing. Why? They can't have average people think they can grow like Hybe did with selling themselves to those with the old money and power.

[@0xyGen_2.p0]

​ @merphul wwll, I am stan of Hybe. Openly. It is good, growing, perspective young conglomerate company, leading in best employer-employee practices in country, is dedicated to their artist, doesn't kick idols out because they were dating or smoking, sticks to strict professionalism, is a role model idol company for Korea. Why is there belief that EVERY employer is bad and should be hated just because they are on part on stick that pays for your working skills ad knowledge, and we are on part of stick that sells our working skills and knowledge to them? It is quid pro quo relationship, so please. I like the company that BS and Banghyuk have built together. Where is it written than one can't like company, foodball club, golf club, or best university? I have companies that I support with my own money as stakeholder. I invest my money in them because I believe they will prospere even more. I believe in their talent, sometimes cause (I'm investing in biotechnological sector), and capability. So what is this stupid hipocrizy about not stanning company? How about organizations of different kind, PETA or BlackLivesMatter, etc. They are allowed to stan? Isn't that weird?

Your final talking point asking “where is the music?” is my biggest question, too. You’d think, if this was about music (like it should be), they would’ve made a soundcloud or something to share the tracks they’ve been working on. But we are so far from that… they’re acting like they’ve been shelved and not allowed to release music. What a mess.

Exactly, they are examples of kpop artists releasing their own music as a side project, as long as it was free of charge , they were no issues with the agency

[@NanciBK]

These girls don't write and produce. Without a team, they can't put out music. They are not artists. They are performers.

[@user28221]

True. In their latest statement, they said, "... want to share our music with fans." I thought, so what's stopping them? They have already shared a bit on that radio Christmas program, right? So, they should share more. BTS members shared many songs for free on SoundCloud even since they were just trainees and BigHit Entertainment (now HYBE) has never stopped them.

[@HailToTheMeep]

Please people stop saying maybe they’ll come to their senses. They won’t. So let’s just enjoy this for whatever this k drama is worth. HYBE is a giant company they’ll be fine as long as BTS is under their flag and they will for the next 7 years. So relax. It isn’t your job to inform Rabids. Or to fight for the girls’ well being. Their own parents endorse all these decisions. Please don’t be so bothered.

Let’s spend our energy supporting them instead 😊

Honestly more people need to realize this, njs have 1000% been groomed by pedoheejin. And it’s going to be a long painful process to undo it and it unfortunately won’t happen overnight. They have been manipulated so much that they can even recognize any of the obvious signs. Like they can’t even recognize the fact that they are being hypocritical, they and mhj are literally committing the same acts that are alleging and claiming ador are doing. And on top of that they have their delusional asf fans who are just as slow who are encouraging their behavior 🤦🏽‍♀️

The only uncooperative party is nj. They’ve refused to work with ADOR since day one after their mama was exposed for plotting to steal them from ADOR, but how can any artist just walk away from an exclusive contract without any consequences is still beyond me. I’m just watching this legal proceeding unfold and wish everything would go back to common sense. Of course I know ADOR wasn’t reacting to any of their silly girl juvenile behavior because they were probably preparing proper adult corporate moves to deal with this circus act.

If the girls statment was true, Sejong wasn't NJ Girls and Parents lawyers until recently. Then legally speaking what was their position when they were coordinating with NJ Girls and Parents, prior to the retainment? If Sejong was representing MHJ and keep interacting with NJ Girls and Parents (before being retained by them), wouldn't that make Sejong a party to the tampering? So, could Hybe and Ador sue Sejong for being a party to tampering? The timing of the retainment might pose legal problem for Sejong as an organisation.

[@CuriousHarlow]

Interesting 🤔

[@neljade3341]

A Sejong lawyer was photographed with H and🧢 by Dispatch before her National Assembly appearance. If they gave her legal advice at that time, who paid for that lawyer 's time? Is it 🧢?

There is no way even SM is going to get involved. SHINee parents went to SM management years ago over MHJ issues. I don't know all the details, but I do know that she photoshopped their pictures to remove any muscles to make them look like young boys when they started to develop. I believe there was also an incident with Taemin. Even if MHJ finds an investor, the money will only take them so far. I think they have honestly gone too far down the rabbit hole to get back to where they were. BTS is also coming back, and that is going to take all the spotlight off these girls. MHJ knows that, too!

@@TheMaverickUSA oh I know. I was just saying bc Hanni was ‘crying’ crocodile tears bc someone ‘ignored’ her. I know no company wants to get involved with them or MHJ at this point.

[@cloudsn]

We knew MHJ wanted to take over HYBE, but now we get to see her evil web that she's been weaving behind the scenes. And there is no difference between MHJ and NJs. The members literally chose MHJ over their own parents. Their post saying that they can't stay silent (have they ever??) was totally unhinged. If they hired lawyers, let the lawyers speak. Let them put out official statements, and be professional. Constantly throwing tantrums where they say nothing other than the same empty accusations isn't helping them.

[@Cattytea]

Thanks for the detailed analysis and the insight into the lawyers' backgrounds and expertise. The choice of legal representation surely looks VERY interesting. For the girls, with the way they made rash and poor decisions, they are only destroying their own career and brand value. Public support can only last as long as they stay relevant in the industry, which isn't happening. This will harm their brand value. In the end, perhaps they'll be the ones knocking on ADOR's door, but the company won't take them back. Or they'll be like "sure all doors lead you back to the long-vacation room". Who can trust them after all?

why isn't it a conflict of interest to represent two parties in adjacent lawsuits? what if MHJ's interests damage/are not in accordance with NJs position? or vice versa, which client's interests will take precedence? parents are likely seeing an end to the gravy train. the law firm likely did meet with the parents during research/fact finding phase of MHJ's case. because they wouldn't be trusting enough to believe HER 'facts'.

I agree that the online brainstorm is a red herring. That they went to MHJ’s lawyers was a foregone conclusion. I think their appeal was an attempt to garner attention / maintain online engagement given that they are refusing to participate in any further ADOR schedules and they have nothing to specifically promote whilst they remain legally tied to ADOR (even if they publicly claim they are separated). They think they are savvy - let’s await the court’s decision on ADOR’s request for the court to confirm the validity of their exclusive contract.

[@BiA-hg7qr]

100%. I think it has already been mentioned that 1 or 2 of the parents met with ADOR. That's why they released a statement saying "the 5 of us are united". That looked like a desperate attempt to make people believe that all is well.

[@navillianb]

All the adults behind and trusted by NewJeans failled them hard. This period will be documented as the grooming and greed of the trust allies. They haven't even being provide with a lawyer working in their benefit. The parents returning to talk with Ador are late. The damage is irreversible. Maybe they could salvage somethings but everyone know they are the greedy parents whom gambled on MHJ and their kid's fortune. That's just sad because we all know they could have been big if they kept on working for Ador. They had EVERYTHING an idol could wish for, (fame, fandom, hit songs, trends, money, brand deals, luxurious accommodation and mostly respect).

Good point. To put it cynically, Ador is holding back so they don't damage the goods, though the goods are trying really hard to damage themselves. That takes a lot of effort. It also undermines the entire NJ narrative that Ador is paying YT to damage them. There's no benefit in that for Ador.

I haven’t finish watching this video but I had to stop and say this. The whole Hybe/Ador failed to protect them blah blah. MHJ. You know, their momma. The one they crying for and ruining their careers for, was their CEO up until The end of August. When they did that first secret conference it had only been TWO WEEKS since she had left. WEEKS. Not years, not months, not even one month but weeks. So you mean to tell me that Hybe and Ador did everything they claim in a two week period??? Because if they were mistreated it was by their momma and none of their fans see all that?? My mind can’t grasp that kind of ignorance.

[@sisisworld]

THanks for this comment. This is exactly what I'm saying from day 1 of this drama. I can't get how ignoratn these ppl (who defend old denins and their momma) are.

[@sleeplessseoul-o]

I started looking at the timeline, too, midway into Sean’s video. Even that Hanni ignore her incident was during MHJ CEO time. So it’s bizarre they’re using this argument of mistreatment by Ador when MHJ was CEO till August (and a director till November). Or actually, bizarre that the lawyers are allowing that argument to be used. Some say they have real evidence they were planning to reveal only in court, so why not initiate the legal proceedings to terminate the contract instead of waiting for Ador to do so? When they unilaterally announced termination, the so-called 14-day period for Ador to address their claim of breaches had not even expired. Did the lawyers really advise them to do that? Truly, it’ll be the law firm that wins in the end.

[@GrumpyKay]

​@sleeplessseoul-o See, they are trying to say they brought up the issue again after the new CEO took over. But since time had passed and the cctv video was gone, the new CEO couldn't find proof of the event. And so they couldn't pursue it. Thus, Hanni said they didn't protect them. Its totally scummy what these girls are doing.

Logically yes. The parent gave their agreement that their child will follow the contract. This is why I am surprised people are blaming the members and not mostly their families and MHJ. They're the adults who exploit theses girls then let greed corrupt their minds. This is not the members who will pay but their parents.
