NewJeans’ Minji Goes Against Her Manager To Promote aespa in HYBE — Karina Responds
According to Minji, Karina gave Minji some stickers from their “Armageddon” promotions. She gave Minji a secret mission along with the stickers — to spread them around HYBE.
Minji revealed in a livestream that she had carried out the secret mission, even going against her managers to do so.
That’s right, I received the stickers that say stuff like ‘when aliens attack, those who haven’t heard ‘Armageddon’ will be eaten first. So [Karina] sunbaenim told me to spread it around the company. So I really did. Perhaps witness photos will pop up. Isn’t it funny? I was going to spread them, but my manager said I couldn’t so I did it secretly.

Karina reacted to the news by thanking Minji, showing off their budding friendship.
- “As soon as I got home, I saw the happy news.”
- “Minji did it!”
- “To be honest, I knew she would succeed. I’m so proud of her.”
- “Our gossip [stickers] have spread even as far as over there…
- “I should’ve put them in Yeji’s hand. She didn’t take them when she left hehe.”
Despite the fact that Minji’s display was all in good fun, one netizen wasn’t very happy. In one viral post, a netizen writes that Minji’s actions were inconsiderate of the frail relationship between HYBE and ADOR.
Did she (Minji) really have to do that when all HYBE idols are probably walking on eggshells? It really pissed me off when she said she put the sticker on the elevator despite her manager telling her not to, and then they went on laughing among themselves. Does she not think of the other idols who might see that and the person who has to clean that up? You guys bring up ITZY, but did they put that in JYP’s building? NewJeans’ members are the only idols to do so. Think about it, why wouldn’t the other idols do the same when they are also on good terms with aespa?

Netizens reacted to the post with many criticizing the author. It seems an overwhelming amount of netizens found nothing wrong with Minji’s actions.
- “Oh… I think the only idols that might be upset are LE SSERAFIM, lol.”
- “You are doing too much considering aespa gave these stickers to everyone. No wonder you guys are the company that wanted to “Stomp out aespa.”
- “So you’re saying this is Minji’s fault when HYBE ran slanderous media play against NewJeans and HYBE’s employees bullied Minji on the Blind app? Also, keep in mind the only reason why this is even an issue is because HYBE wanted to stomp out aespa.”
- “I’m a fan of one of HYBE’s boy groups and I don’t think my boys would be uncomfortable at all by seeing this… Who are you a fan of? Don’t drag all of HYBE’s groups down together.”
- “It’s interesting to see how JYP doesn’t mind the stickers but HYBE is so sensitive and is beating up NewJeans for it.”
- “What are you so upset about? LOL.”
- “Ah, so what if Mr. Bang Si Hyuk didn’t acknowledge NewJeans? He has issues with his sight. What are you so emotional about?! What?! Minji posted NewJeans stickers in our building?! Don’t you know that this might make Mr. Si Hyuk upset?!!!”
- “Oh, stop crying over nothing like losers.”
