Amid the controversies, others voiced support for the girls. Hanbok designer Song Hyemi of Seodamhwa, who worked with the girls previously, revealed how much she loved and missed the members.
“I really don’t know anything about idols, but as soon as NewJeans debuted, I became a fan after watching their first music video and listened to their songs every day on my way to work.
Then, one day, I received an offer to work with them for a photo shoot. Being a huge fan, I used everything I had in me to make their outfits. And just like that, I worked with these sweet and lovely girls for two years for their Chuseok photo shoot and music video.
How can one’s heart disappear after giving it to them? After working with them, I received numerous offers from other groups but turned them all down. It may have been my greed, but as long as these girls are active, I wanted to make their hanboks every year for a long time.
After arriving at work, I was working on the girls’ hanboks from this year’s photo shoot, and I suddenly missed them so much. Because each girl is so sweet and lovely off-stage. Hanni, who loves to read…always bright Minji… quiet Hyein…daydreaming Haerin…always smiling Danielle. I hope they can get through these difficult times, and I pray that I will be able to meet them next year. Hwaiting!”
