NewJeans recently showed up at Gimpo Airport on August 11, 2024. They were on their way to Japan for schedules. The girls showed up barefaced and dressed down.

In their rush to enter the airport to prevent congestion, it seems like the girls did not take enough time to pose for journalists outside the venue. This caused a few journalists to misunderstand their actions, leaving negative articles in response. In particular, Minji was called out for her alleged use of her phone.

Video footage shows that she only used it momentarily.

Article is saying Minji looked only at her phone on the airport, but you can see in the newsen video that she only looked at her phone for mere seconds and then put it down once she entered the airport.

Someone obviously paid for this article to cover up the huge DUI case lmao https://t.co/RBWUH3pxs5 pic.twitter.com/HyJHunK0dl

Some of the articles pointed out were titled as such.

Minji, no matter how much you call for her, she doesn’t hear you.

Hanni, moves past you as fast as magic.

Hyein, she has no response no matter how much you call her.

Netizens called out the journalists for their negative titles, accusing them of purposefully stirring a commotion.

Do they owe you something? Sh*t journalists.
Why are they like that?
Trash journalists.
They did it with malicious intent.
I really hate how they try to fake things just by a narrow POV.
[journalists’ names], tsk, tsk.
So what even if they don’t greet you?
Why are they like that to NewJeans? BFFR.

The girls spent time greeting journalists after they were safely inside the building.
