New Jeans' court petition, what if they had known Min Hee-jin's offensivel comment about them?
According to the industry on the 18th, all members of New Jeans (Daniel, Minzy, Hani, Haein, and Hyein) each submitted a petition (petition) to the court on the 17th, when the hearing on the application for a provisional injunction issued by CEO Min to ban the exercise of voting rights was held. This is the first time that members have officially spoken out about the Hive-Min Hee-jin management dispute.
The contents of the petition are not known, but since the members have formed a strong bond with CEO Min since their debut and their parents are also lending their support to CEO Min, it is expected that the members also wrote and submitted content representing CEO Min's position. .
Representative Min has been appealing for a strong bond with New Genes members since the beginning of the conflict. CEO Min expressed his position on the 22nd of last month, when Hive began auditing Adore, saying, "After sufficient discussion with New Genes members and legal representatives, we have decided to announce our official position."
In this way, Representative Min has put forward a strong bond with New Genes, but he also shocked people by making bold disparaging remarks about New Genes in private conversations.
In the conversation record, CEO Min said, "I always tell them to be humble. Even though they're fat like pigs, they're trying to make them popular.", "They're pretending to be cool, but if they don't say hello to me, I'll want to kill them.", "What do they know?" I told the vice president, “I’ll just have to look in the mirror.”
CEO Min did not hesitate to use abusive language while referring to the body type of certain members. Jinho Lee said, “The members’ names were mosaic.”
He made remarks such as “They didn’t become popular because they were good,” “They’re elementary school students who get scolded because they can’t lose even a single inch of weight,” and “Wow, you bitch.” He also ridiculed New Jeans fans, saying, "They are so crazy about these thoughtless kids that they are fans."
The public is reacting to this by being divided into voices criticizing Representative Min and voices raising the possibility that Representative Min's conversation records were patched together.
Some members of the public said through community and YouTube comments, "Would New Jeans have submitted a petition even if they knew about this?", "If New Jeans has submitted a petition in support, it is more dangerous from New Jeans' perspective. This is why adult grooming is dangerous. Children's minds are “What should I do?” and “I feel sorry for New Jeans,” he said.
On the other hand, “I don’t know if that KakaoTalk is about New Genes,” “I think it only represents Hive’s position,” “I know that CEO Min has a bad personality, but this has nothing to do with breach of trust.” He criticized, saying, “Even if a child fights, harsher words can be exchanged than that. It only seems like a big company’s manipulation of public opinion.”
