Reactions from netizens have been mixed in the ongoing feud between HYBE Labels and ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. With all of the accusations and hostile interactions between the two parties, some have taken the sides of one or the other, while others try to remain neutral as the fallout pans out.

Min Hee Jin has been getting quite a bit of support from Korean netizens, though, especially after the director of NewJeans‘ “Bubble Gum” music video shared a private message they had with Min just a day before HYBE’s audit on the CEO was released.

But it seems like it’s not just Korean netizens that are sending their support to Hee Jin. Recently, an event was held in Shibuya, Japan in support of NewJeans at the Shibuya 109 shopping mall for their 45th anniversary campaign.
