Reader’s Question:
I’ve been hearing a lot about HYBE, Min Heejin, and NewJeans lately, but I don’t quite understand what’s going on. I would appreciate it if you could explain these topics in detail. A long response would be fine, so thank you in advance.
Thoughts on the HYBE and NewJeans Controversy
Recently, the discussions around HYBE, Min Heejin, and NewJeans
have been heating up, and to be honest, I didn’t understand it all at first either. As someone who loves comedy and entertainment, I find that the behind-the-scenes stories and troubles in the music industry can feel like something out of a drama. It can be confusing to distinguish between what’s true and what’s just rumor.
Min Heejin and the Conflict with HYBE
First, Min Heejin’s position is incredibly important. As the producer of NewJeans, she gained immense popularity with her unique sense of style and concepts. However, various issues arose, such as her treatment within HYBE being somewhat dismissive and the concept of ILLIT resembling that of NewJeans, leading her to become dissatisfied with HYBE. I was also surprised by the press conference where the content of that email exchange was revealed. The president made comments that seemed to provoke AESPA, and I couldn’t help but think, “You shouldn’t say that!” Her claim of feeling “used” resonates with me. When you’re in a position that influences many people, such situations can indeed arise.
Future of NewJeans
The news that NewJeans might be entering a hiatus is truly heartbreaking for fans. Their youth and unique vibe are a significant part of their charm. Honestly, I also worry that maintaining their current level of popularity may be challenging for them moving forward. However, as a fan, I am filled with the desire to support their activities. I hope they find their own path and return with smiles. It would be wonderful for them to have the freedom to create in an environment that nurtures their current youth and energy.
My Thoughts and Reflections
Watching this controversy unfold makes me realize how tough the entertainment industry can be. I’ve faced numerous challenges in the comedy world, and sticking to my own style has never been easy. No matter how talented you are, external circumstances and relationships often play a significant role. Lastly, I want to hear from all of you reading this. If you have any memorable episodes or experiences related to your favorite artists or groups, please share! I would love to hear about anything you’d like to share.
