A post and its comments have recently circulated online on Jungkook’s post supporting NewJeans. The post and comments were taken from the BLIND app, a messaging forum used by verified company employees.

The post by a HYBE-verified employee is of the post made on Bam’s Instagram account with the caption “Hmm.”

The comments then express their frustration with the situation, with multiple comments directed at Jungkook. Several of the comments imply that he does not care about the company’s employees and seem to insult him directly.

“I’m feeling even more bitter… What have I been working for… Sigh…”
“He really decided to kill off everyone else, huh?”
“Artists are not guilty. Don’t use them. Is this meant for Min (Hee Jin)? She’s the one always using her artists.”
“I also thought he was talking about Min.”
“There’s more talk that this is a direct criticism of HYBE. Go check the online communities…”
“Seriously, though. He’s reminding us once again that as mere employees, we mean nothing.”
You can tell just by looking at how he has acted toward the employees before.”
“Are we really listening to the most thick-headed one? Haha.”
“*crying*”
“Look at how this situation is being interpreted and how it’s stirring up even more controversy… What’s good about it?”
