1- i dont care about the damn boycott. i have never met a single person who is boycotting any brand on the so called “boycott” list. you cant push your beliefs onto someone else. if you want to boycott them, do it, but dont try to force someone else to do so just because they are a celebrity. 2- i agree they are desperate, but i dont care. i dont stan 2ne1 or blackpink. 3- new jeans became popular because they are under hybe. if mhj wants to take new jeans away from hybe, i have a feeling they will lose a good chunk of their fans (especially those that are stanning them simply because they are under hybe) 4- disney has supported israel for YEARS. if you’re going to hate on v for having mcdonalds, hate on stray kids for appearing in a marvel movie (under disney) if that does in fact happen. 5- there simply cannot be an unpopular member if it is an extremely well-known group. if any other member were on the bottom of the list, people would be saying they deserve to be higher as well. someone has gotta be at the bottom. 6- ai isnt great, so i do kind of agree with this. 7- i agree with this one as well. 8- i agree with this one. if an idol gets into a controversy for something that they did on their own, you cant blame the company for not “helping” or “protecting” them. also, the company is not always to blame for outfits. some idols do choose their own outfits. 9- idk. i dont listen to most of ives songs

[@AEChronicler]

Let's be mature and realistic. Does anyone really expect every Kpop idol to have the same beliefs as them? At the end of the day, they'll choose what benefits them and be done with it regardless of what people may say, like everyone else. Entertainers entertain and are not beacons of morality. Also, you can't force people to boycott whatever you want to boycott. Tell me this. Do you boycott many other products that affect other people from other parts of the world that are also suffering not just from war, but also many other kinds of atrocities (child labor, human trafficking, religious persecution, exploitation, etc.)? Realistically, people will not boycott anything unless they've really committed to it and understand that if you boycott one, you'll boycott everything.

[@key-s6507]

Correct, at this point, it's just performing activism (used to justify attacking people or groups); most people don't honestly care. I know some who preach and preach about child labor, etc., but use iPhones, and instead of being upfront about it, they backtrack. And waste their time attacking people for their cause, unknowingly pushing supporters away with this behavior. It is not all of them, but it is a loud majority.

The moment Hybe gets fed up of her antics and decided to pull back all the support to NJ, the grp would be as good as dead. Also it is a very bad look for NJ.

NJ is not same. They are in the scene barely 1-2 years and had barely established a fan base and among them also several were armies who have immediately turned their back on NJ when MHJ started all this rubbish and started talking nonesense about BTS. NJ has already started losing views. Why do you think MHJ is hanging on to Hybe? She knows that if she starts from scratch it would be ages before she reaches where she wants to reach and she does not want that hard work but want to leech off Hybe...and Hybe till now was pretty generous but now they too have had enough because these girls and MHJ is causing them more loss than profit and no business would ever tolerate idols who they cannot squeez for profit. I am sure Hybe is playing the waiting game for MHJ's and NJ's contract to end.

Warning 💥💥 MY OPION FANS: will say to i remember with skz as a stay well.. with all jype entertainment artists they had a contract okay. it was running out this year anyway one last thing OKAY.. so they filmed a video and Felix had a drink forget fans all over some not stay got mad he apologized to everybody he wouldn't drink it anymore 😊. But what I'm saying is i see armies on X saying V is innocent and v is kind and he did good thing's before ... girls this is not good for a BRAND a KPOP BRAND. The standard for group's our companies i noticed is crazy

V has not at least apologize? Right sorry not a army

[@knocturna9731]

@@Gojo-ki-poookie A franchise doing something is not the same as the whole company organizing something. A local franchise of a major company can act independently of a major company which is why the McDonald’s corporation bought all of the local franchises in Israel. You guys don’t know how things work in the business world and that’s why you don’t realize that McDonald’s already did what you wanted them to do, months ago.

3. I gonna have to disagree with this take . Firstly I think is important to recognised that New Jeans had minimal promotions this time around which is deliberate; They only collaborated with two groups this year Ateez and Asaepa. Secondly, I think MHJ approach is smart ,the Hybe family narrative completely contradicts the multiple label principle and multiple company practice in general. The reason why companies such as Unilever and LVMH so successful is because their brands are able to retain a level of individuality and exclusiveness that people don’t realise that their part of the same family, giving people the illusion of choice while having discreet control of the market . FENDI will never collaborate with LV giving the perception of exclusivity and that they’re competitors when they are actually in the same family.

[@nancyreyes1578]

This entire statement falls apart with New Jeans feeling just fine being marketed as BTS little sisters for clout. They need to keep that same energy. They should have made a public statement back then making it clear that they were not BTS little sisters and totally separate. They didn’t do that because they reaped the benefits.

[@g_jeans1]

@@nancyreyes1578 The way the media markets them is different to the way the way they market themselves that’s why New Jeans have Phoning and rarely interacts in Weverse. I even recall MHJ getting majority of the recognition of New Jeans successful debut instead of PD or Hybe.Secondly , I don’t think they needed to make an official statement because through the actions which I think has been consistent , ADOR has always tried to distinguish themselves as an individual company first rather than HYBE company that ranges from promotional tactics down to aesthetics

[@Nahazii]

Finally someone who isn’t so EMOTIONALLY clouded due to there hate for MHJ is actually making sense and see what she’s trying to do. I don’t personally think that MHJ is a saint but the woman is clearly making moves in ensuring that Newjeans is being individualistic for the future success of the group moving forward since they can’t seperate from HYBE physically. HYBE forcing this narrative of family is dumb cause there should be a level of HEALTHY competition between the sub labels, like how are you going to conquer the entertainment industry aka western music if your company is about being a family the only thing that creates is less creative freedom for artists and them creating music art form

[@nancyreyes1578]

@@g_jeans1 they did not make an announcement making it clear that wasn’t the case like they did with Illit AND they went along with this title. Do not try to make it seem like that didn’t happen when it did. They should again make it clear they are not BTS little sisters like they made it clear they are in no way affiliated with Illit.

[@g_jeans1]

@@nancyreyes1578 To reiterate my point Actions speak louder than words. The media made comparisons and instigated conflict between the Illit and Newjeans months before the press conference which in opinion was bad for both groups involved. MHJ adressed the comparison issue internally first before the press conference. Had audit scandal never been made public we wouldn’t have known her position on the comparison .

[@TaetaeNne]

Y’all love to jump on the hate train any opportunity you get. 1) You really expect Koreans living in Korea to know about all the brands on the BDS list, don’t be naive, only chronically online people know this and even till this day, not everyone knows all the brands on that list because I can bet y’all in this comment section are still going to McDonalds, watching Disney, drinking Coca Cola, using hp laptops etc. Stop with the performative and selective activism, I’m pretty sure non of you have actually donated to the cause including the poster of this vid. 2) why is aespa not getting the same hate, they’re literally endorsing McDonald’s even with ads but I don’t see uproar about that. Other members of BTS are working/ have worked with zionists, they currently are promoting a show on Disney, RM literally has an insta post with Coca Cola, Jhope literally wore a McDonald’s shirt, Jimin featured a Zionist on his song, jk worked closely with scooter, a proud Zionist but you draw the line at V with fries. Y’all genuinely do not even care about the cause atp because if you did, you’d call out all artists both kpop and western. Do not pick and choose when you want to show your activism. 3) Go out, touch some grass and stop holding your idols to such high expectations and standards. They are humans too who make mistakes, have differing political views or are simply not knowledgeable on certain topics. Rather than waiting on them, you go out there and make a change. It is a literal genocide going on not a gotcha moment or tool for fanwars. Trust me the picture of fries did not start the war, and him deleting it will not end the war either. Stop with your performative activism
