BELIFT LAB has come under serious fire after “sexualizing” NewJeans in the new video.
On June 10, BELIFT shocked netizens with a video addressing the plagiarism claims Min Hee Jin had made about ILLIT.
During the video, a page was shown that seemed to describe the concepts and image of three girl groups: NewJeans, BLACKPINK, and IVE, showcasing that ILLIT was “NOT” trying to be like them and showcasing the differences.
NewJeans- Teenagers but are the subject of adults’ fantasies
BLACKPINK- untouchable perfect celebrities
IVE- Undeniably doll-like and seems like a princess. The subject of envy.

When the descriptions of the groups were shared, international netizens couldn’t hide their anger at the “disgusting” description of NewJeans. In particular, as the members are so young and active online, they hate the idea of using such words to “sexualize” the members.
Belift just sexualized NewJeans to describe their concept to protect ILLIT in their claims against plagiarism even though the court found grounds to each allegation…

a company who is said to encourage artists to be themselves, hone their talents and create wonderful music is also the same company that classified newjeans as a group for adult objectification. truly this is an all time low.

in no capacity is it ever acceptable for a whole company to describe newjeans as an object for adult fantasy, that’s need to be reprimanded for it.
