The Sad Case Of NewJeans

[@realdennis79]

They are willingly get into this messy legal battle. I wish they didn't but It's too late now. They will face long legal battle and potentially huge amount of penalty if they lose. If I were them, I would just stay away from legal battle. It's not their fight. They sugarcoated it but it was all about 70 million dollars worth of stock buyback options. These girls will not get access to these stock payout. Sigh.....

[@minhmeo5010]

wow, I hope you are still a teenager, otherwise, I worry about your life if an adult can still think and speak this way. They are not you because they are not bending their knees for money and power. Stop projecting your own ugly mind to other people.

[@saintxbarbie]

Having Australian parents, There is no way their parents didn't tell them this is the right thing to do and encouraged them to do this. They dont care about the $$ its about their kids not getting exploited when they arnt getting what they want out of it. Keeping your mouth shut and submitting is not how a couple of these girls were raised. Even when it bites you in the ass.

[@apartheid84]

The girls say they're doing this alone, but they're clearly following a script and even though they claim to be lost girls without MHJ, they're capable of giving a 14-day notice, indicating that if their request to bring back their CEO (since she's still working as a producer at ADOR) isn't met, they'll take measures... like the notice an official must give to his company to terminate his legal contract... Who recorded them? In another video they say it was the guy who is MHJ's right hand man and who is an official of Kakao.

[@minhmeo5010]

of course, their parents could help and they need to consult a lawyer to check if their action is legal. I'm glad that they are careful and smart. Btw stop spreading rumors, there is no 'another video' where they say it was MHJ's right hand man. Why do you make up these things. What do you get out of this.

[@saintxbarbie]

@@minhmeo5010 2 of these girls have Australian parents. They won't be letting anyone push their kids around if isnt what they think is best. this is such an australian thing to do to publicly speak out and shame the company.

[@maricardecastro9766]

The audacity of this group to threathen the company that feeds them and worse give them ultimatum for their demands?👀? Aren't they're asking for their untimely demise in music industry?

[@Briarpatchlogic]

No...they have been failed from every side through no fault of their own. Their "audacity" is an example to everyone

[@silverhoneycat]

These girls have no idea how corporations work, sadly. Intentional or not, MHJ was problematic for SM, and now Hybe. If the group honestly takes issue with the pressure of a work contract, then ask for adjusted work conditions, not randomly demand an irresponsible manager to be rehired. It's so Stockholm Syndrome coded; Disillusioned that they have influence and emotionally investing in a manager who has few scruples. What a mess.

[@minhmeo5010]

You must never work a single day in a big corporation to know that big corporations would never listen to their employees unless there are serious actions that gather some public attention and cause certain damage to put them under pressure. Employees worldwide protest or even go on strikes to pressure the company if their work conditions get worse. It is never a good thing to be enslaved by big corporations just because 'they pay you'. They are just exploiting their employees to make themselves rich. I hope you change that mindset when you start working. Sadly, the majority of K-pop fans are naive teenagers.

[@nicolechristine8764]

Fact: Whether or not they win this lawsuit.. New Jeans is gone.. They will disappear for a year or forever if they lose. Even if they win and reappear, not as NJ anymore cause obviously they can’t use the same name. No more NJ and no more Bunnies… RIP NJ, and I will add bunny too. No hate just speaking facts.

[@ro-zeea.8734]

They will be shelved and forced a disbandment. The sad thing even if they were to form a group again they can't use their group name, they will have to start all over again. Sad though.

[@elizabethhalam6277]

Their mother mhj was found guilty of betraying of hype...But as she did not cause damage to ador but only to hype she won the previous trial...The trial was for ador... Hype cannot dismissed mhj from ceo but ador board members can dismissed her... That is how she was dismissed...She was found of trying to take over ador from hype...She is not an innocent victim nor NJ members...

[@hrishikeshsarma738]

if im not wrong they did find who greeted her but not any manger talk to her. well I support the manager for protecting their group from this mess unlike MHJ who pulled in NJ

[@Yrpt6sd24]

Nice video! Honestly I think NewJeans was NOT smart in going live though... Be careful NewJeans...

[@ro-zeea.8734]

It may not have been smart but I think that is the only way they saw fit to be heard. The kids are stuck in the middle of this 💩 show. The adults are divorcing and the kids are stuck in the middle. That's what this looks like.

[@rusher0015]

​@@ro-zeea.8734the live would not help in any way, shape or form. Mhj claims to love and support them but she always gets them dragged into her mess. Their demand to bring mhj back is unreasonable, it won't work. Hybe doesn't want a backstabbing, lying traitor back into the company and mhj doesn't want to leave, she has convinced these girls that they're nothing without her. They're the victims of the situation but there also doesn't seem to be any solution that satisfies both sides. They will have to pick between hybe and mhj.

[@JO-qn8gy]

Too late. A line may have been crossed. Breach of contract could lead to very serious consequences.

[@DUNGSTA]

Them complaining about their new boss and team is not a good look

[@heygraey]

These girls ar ages 15-19, they are literally angry teenagers who are mad their "mom" is being treated "unfairly" and now lashing out at "dad". They can only hope papa Hybe forgives them and sees they are acting on emotion and not considering they signed a binding contract. I don't want to be THAT person, but why is the youngest so panicked? She still has her group members and her real parents, is there potential grooming going on?

[@ro-zeea.8734]

[@rubiirae]

@@HibiscusJelly technically, Jungkook account got hacked. Even if it really came from him, his comment was that "artists are not guilty". Nobody is blaming NJ for what they did, but sad to witness them doing what MHJ and their biological parents are instructing them to do. The adults whom they trusted the most failed them big time. NJ has been groomed and manipulated. What they've talked about in the live stream only showed pettiness and immaturity, and attempt to extort. The only person who can gain something from their live stream is MHJ. Wake up and start using your brain to think for a good minute.

[@starsnoireart]

@@rubiirae”nobody is blaming NJ for what they did” what are you talking about? Literally EVERYONE is dragging NJ through the mud right now???

[@hrishikeshsarma738]

NJ goes live and nexxt day mhj files for re-election, and they say they didn't tell anyone? like filing a official needs so little time. And its funny how their fans turn blind eye to all hate to other groups by them then cry why they are treated like this.

It takes years to build a reputation, minutes (a live stream) to destroy it. We just witnessed the self destruction of Destroyed Jeans, previously known as New Jeans.

[@Babee76]

They need to go. The audacity of them to make such demands. Even if they were manipulated by MHJ, you act that way.

[@DUNGSTA]

So you can't complain about your new boss and coworkers?

[@Babee76]

@DUNGSTA NJ did a lot more than complain about their new boss & co workers. They plain out made ultimatum to reinstate MHJ. They said they will not comply with HYBE rules & demanded to be left alone. I’m really sorry for the girls, but at the end the day, Ador is part HYBE so they need to comply with the company rules & regulations. I get they are frustrated but if they were not famous & are just a normal worker, they would be fired by now. They are still young & have no experience working in a corporate environment, but that is still no excuse to made such demands. MHJ betrayed HYBE so she should not be reinstated. Their obsession with her is worrying. If they are a real artist, they should prove they can make it on their own. But it doesn’t sound like they have any faith in their own talents & strongly believe MHJ is the only one who can make them successful.

[@derisened7849]

These young ladies being brave made me respect them 10X more but bravery isn't always smart, a legal disaster of a nightmare is brewing and it doesn't end in their favor

With those live statements from New Jeans, New Jeans just litterally letting themselves and their good future opportunities to be dragged down by Min HeeJin. So sad and disappointing.

[@Briarpatchlogic]

No New Jeans has drug nothing. They have performed their job with amazing skill. All else around them has failed

[@jujoonline8248]

You just touch up on this a little, but the gaslighting amd grooming MHJ did to the public and the girls of NJ is CRAZY!!! She should have gone into acting, because if she actually had facts and didn’t just randomly start to drag other groups into this mess at the first press conference, she could have sold me her broke artist act, even though she was at the time the highest payed Hybe executive who was basicly handed her own sublable and 20% shares by Hybe lol

[@DUNGSTA]

Had to defend herself and show the public

Honestly they have a case to form a union. Currently none of this young entertainers have anyone looking after them. Im sure the labels will love that...not!! But it isn't a bad idea though.

They will be lucky if they are left untouched, but it's clear that they are doomed because of this action.

[@jdj10078]

they must really be hurting to have to do the video..they are young and scared they probably thought this was there only chance. i hope that the higher ups at Hybe will take that into consideration when discussing the situation with the girls....they are truly talented and a rarity in their style. i personally love them i have all their music i admire them....we must remember that they are young and impressionable. i do hope that an agreement can be met and they someone with knowledge can speak to them and be truthful with them so that they know what is really going on and who is acting in their best interest. i know they are unsure they are scared and they believe whatever they were told. i pray the truth comes out and they girls get a chance to hear it from someone they trust so they can all move forward....again i am a huge fan and would really hate to see anything negative happen to them....they are still growing so they need guidance and patience.;.good luck girls.

[@rusher0015]

There can be no agreement between hybe and mhj. They will never let her step a foot back into ador and it makes sense for them. Newjeans will have to choose between hybe and mhj. I still hope and wish for them to move on from mhj

[@robtucker6303]

What makes so many Kpop fans support agencies over the artists? It’s pathetic.

[@Lurks2407]

I think it's because the artists continues to join in the rift between MHJ and Hybe. NJ antagonizing the agency creates this ripple effect that also affects, to a certain extent, everyone in the organization, including the other HYBE artists.

They've let that crazy lady poison their minds. They honestly look like they're in a cult or something. I don't see any reason they should be able to get out of their contracts.

The balls on these kids...after two years of being a group, giving ultimatums to your CEO? I used to really like these guys and now I just cannot **** stand them. Just imagine Twice after two years of being a group pulling this **** with JYP or Blackpink with YG. While other groups are humble and thankful for success, these girls seem to believe they have a right to it, that it is somehow owed to them and they have the right to bully company management. That live was the stupidest thing they could have done and clearly influenced by Min Hee-jin.

[@michaelmayo]

I think Hybe has a hidden agenda towards NJ that we're not aware of yet. Remember the attacks against MHJ began when she started asking questions about Hybe's future plans for NJ, and that Hybe used a bullshit excuse to go after her. Hybe still doesn't have any problems with MHJ/NJ's creative output so the idea that Hybe needed to rip apart a successful team because she explored, but never acted upon, a plan to take NJ private just doesn't make any sense unless Hybe has something planned they didn't want MHJ interferring with. Further proof that Hybe's claim of supporting NJ is just bullshit is how the girls have been treated since MHJ was sent (illegally) packing and some Boss Bitch HR weasel was put in charge of them. Machiavelli always said that fighting by the rules while your opponent isn't just insures you're going to lose, so I'm glad the girls did their livestream and called out Hybe's shitty treatment of them and put them on the defensive for a change. Another rule, this time from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, is to keep the enemy guessing what you're up to, and by announcing a firm date of 9/25 to restore the old status quo, NJ sent shock waves through Hybe, who now has to wonder what will happen and how to prepare for it. (This could all change if the Kcourts grant MHJ's second injunction against Hybe's firing of her and restores her.) So I put this all on Hybe. I think the only good thing about all this is that it's exposed Hybe as a bunch of power-hungry bullies willing to destroy an award-winning group to maintain power. Here's hoping they lose and badly...
