ADOR’s Min Hee Jin Claims That HYBE Originally Stopped Her From Taking NewJeans Away From Source Music Despite Causing Their Debut To Be Delayed

In light of this new piece of news, many fans have been accusing HYBE of neglecting NewJeans. They cite lack of promotions for the group on the official channels. NewJeans’ content is not in the official HYBE Labels YouTube channel, and only on NewJeans’ own channel. Other groups have their music on both channels.

They also claim that Bang Si Hyuk has never been seen with the girls, neither has he ever promoted them. He has been consistently seen showing support for other groups in HYBE.

In response to this, HYBE’s official statement on April 26, 2024, noted that they have not been neglecting the group.

“Regarding the claims about neglecting only NewJeans’ promotions.

She mentioned this during her internal complaint as well, and this was our detailed reply to her in email.

‘HYBE’s Communication Department is doing their best for NewJeans’ PR. In the past year, they have written and spread 273 press releases just for NewJeans. For BTS’s group and individual promotions (total of 8 units), BigHit Music’s articles total to 659 pieces. SEVENTEEN promoted 4 different units, and Pledis’ articles total 365 pieces. Comparatively, it’s hard to claim that NewJeans’ PR has been neglected. The company is doing our best to spread the word about all our labels and artists without any discrimination.’”
