International netizens in particular were quick to call NewJeans “entitled” and “privileged,” dismissing their concerns.

Others called them “brainwashed” and accused the girls of siding with Min Hee Jin when they called themselves victims.

After the shocking contents of HYBE’s internal documents were recently revealed and reviewed at an audit, it became obvious that there was more to the story than the girls could have said. Not only did HYBE gather negative opinions and comments about other groups…

Despite the fact that all odds were against them, NewJeans’ bravery and decision to speak out against higher powers ended up creating a positive effect in changing the industry.
