Honestly, her "pity party" press conference made me instantly see her as someone manipulative. It's almost comical how she dressed herself as if she was just kidnapped from home to hold a press conference which she organized herself.
Min Heejin involving NewJeans is a very obvious manipulation tactic. She wants the public to side with her, so she’s using NewJeans as a shield. People are more likely to feel empathy for NewJeans than they are Min Heejin, so she’s emphasising their connection to Adore and herself.
No, seriously, how stupid can the public/kpop fans be to believe in MHJ? The moment she didn't address the illegal issues against her, she's already guilty.
it’s crazy to me how tokkis are saying newjeans’ debut was low budget & the attention video was shit from a butt bc bang pd apparently didn’t like the song & didn’t give them as much money. like??? y’all are not remotely smart bc nj & ador staff FLEW to Spain, spent a couple weeks there filming videos + content, they had background dancers, extras, locations, animations, cgi, custom made bags, etc. that is NAWT cheap & it’s frustrating to hear bc they’re claiming illit has a higher budget. have u considered illit’s budget might be a smidge higher bc a member left? or that they flew to taiwan? or inflation?
The rookie group got the album visual that was denied to Jimin! Jimin from BTS, the group that created that company, Newjeans fans are delusional if they think the group suffered bad treatment.
I sometimes ask myself if their fans have common sense because it's clear most of them lack alot of thinking capacity because their blinded by them , the so called kids
@@chrisprettychu4 Their fans are mostly young and impressionable people, no wonder they can't think critically. These are the types who think they know everything when they actually don't.
Hybe spent alot of money on ador and newjeans. Hybe has to make a whole new label. Transfer and hired staff. Then money for the company to be able to pay the workers. Then move newjeans to the label . Pay for debute and comebacks. Dormitory. Weverse made phoning app for newjeans. Ect.......
I don’t understand how anyone is on her side anymore. This woman is greed personified. You know the reason she doesn’t want to leave and exercise her stock options is because she will have to A. Repay Bang PD the money he lent her to purchase the shares, and B. Pay out 47% capital gains tax on the swipe of her stocks.
After reading the comments of people siding with mhj i have definitely realised how many kpop stans have no common sense..they have to be kids otherwise thats concerning..also hybe being a bad company just like every other company does not give you the rights to hate on groups... y'all don't realise this but y'all sound like haters because it makes no sense to hate on illit,bts,newj or lsm
@@SpiderpunkrocksWhich is what always makes them look embarrassing at times. The same thing happened during the whole Garam scandal.. They think with their emotions rather than fact checking and doing research.
@@Spiderpunkrocksi think “majority of korea” just means korean females. U know how much they hate the opposite gender over there and males don’t tend to be chronically online yapping
they make me feel insane. Like, how is the manipulation not obvious? It's almost funny how she's basically costumed up to relate to working class ppl...
Please go watch the omg mv of newjeans many Koreans have explained the cult thing its a big issue in Korea as dahns world had a history of sexual assault and even people dying this is very serious but hybe is toying with media play so no Korean media channels are promoting it
I honestly don’t care if ILLIT did or did not copy NewJeans like MHJ knows very well that the members of both of these groups are literal children. How dare she throw these poor girls under the bus, especially when ILLIT are already facing hate due to their live performances. Le Sserafim is facing the same hate after Coachella too, who of course just happened to be name dropped as well. She’s deliberately taking pot-shots at groups already being targeted by the public and it is 💯 calculated.
Only one member of NewJeans is still a child. That is Hyein. She is 16. Minji is 20. Haerin is 18. Hanni is 19. And Danielle is 19. But still doesn’t make it right
@@arturintete2461 Being a child ≠ stupid. It’s fine if NewJeans prefers working with MHJ, but this whole debacle has never been about the wellbeing of the members. It’s a giant power play between grown adults and this is an industry who treats idols as expendable. It’s completely normal to worry about the futures of literal teenagers who don’t have the life experience to understand that.
@@alexandragabitto2573 i didnt say being a child equals being stupid. i said they are not children, and they also aren't stupid. yall love framing them as both. nice twist on my words though ! what's not normal is believing you know whats best for the members more than themselves. they are in the industry, you are not. they have lawyers and advisors, you do not. they can see whats happening behind the scenes, you cannot. they know how theyre being treated by the company, you do not. creeps.
@@arturintete2461 I apologize for misunderstanding you. I agree with you that the parasocial relationships people create with idols is/can be extremely toxic and that only NewJeans can decide what’s best for themselves. My issue is with MHJ, HYBE, and their affiliates alone. I think her involvement has been a detriment to everyone involved, but still think if NewJeans wants to continue under her artistic direction then they have the right to make a statement about it. The lack of compassion expressed by the public over their press conference is particularly alarming to me.
When she said, “I don’t think, I’m guilty”. If you’re not guilty just say you’re not. Don’t say “i don’t think” just these 3 words, it made you guilty.
THANK YOU. The online kpop space popular narrative behind this story is absolutely insane. MHJ is a narcissist, compulsive liar and it's not out of the question to posit that she may have committed narcissistic abuse on Innocent children. This is going to get much more messy and I'm worried about the careers of New Jeans, Le Sserafim and ILLIT.
The fact that she mentioned NJ and used them as a shield already reveals a lot about MHJ’s character and tells us what kind of person she really is. A “mother” would shield their children from this mess, not use them as a shield. It’s sad that so many people lack the sense to see this when it’s so obvious.
In America, when a parent company wants to audit one of their subsidiaries, no notice is needed. HYBE has all rights to audit any one of their companies. That's the bottom line.
I really don't understand who people are siding with her .. she is so good at manipulation or people r just dumb ... Like her never directly answer the question, she always just change the topic to another groups
Finally someone with common sense! I can’t fanthom how people cannot see through her manipulative tactis… Since he very beginning, she has not once provided any concrete evidence, only crying and complaining and causing hate towards several groups, including her own..
@@하이-g4i9v she is accused of literal financial crimes, as well as endangering the idols themselves when leaking their private infos. And with the chats between her and Mr. A and Mr. L. It seems more likely than not
@@하이-g4i9vcause she is?? Look up her disgusting messages about NJ. She called them lazy b*****s and fat pigs. Her being a "mother figure" to NJ is all an act.
I totally believe she turned this into a big fanwar on purpose, shes the one who benefits the most from this distraction not hybe. And I'm pretty sure she knew how many people are ready to drag hybe purely on personal bias too, from kpop stans to big executives who are bitter about that corporation success. Also we have seen other nasty scandals with big companies in kpop before but then ppl always tried to separate the idols from the company image and those companies are still standing today, now when it comes to hybe and their artists why do ppl wanna act different and put the whole company to burn? I dont think these executives are all angels but certainly ppl act biased towards hybe. In the end I'm just hoping for them to fix this mess and for the best outcome for the artists honestly.
New Jeans fans also need a reality check... They think that NJ is that succesful because of MHJ only when Hybe is the reason they are. They gave MHJ all the resources she needed and NJ got things not other Hybe groups (even BTS) has ever gotten. They think if New Jeans leave the company they'll have the same amount of success but they won't they're still a new group and doesn't have a solid career yet. If NJ's parents are smart enough they'll side with HYBE and stop getting manipulated by MHJ because the ones that will lose the most would be them and NJ.
They should rethink; if they were made by mhj's company outside of hybe they wouldn't even get 10% of being known outside Kpop shows and the world at large.
I am so impressed. Every point you made is right on point. I didn't believe her from the get-go, but you really laid out why everyone else should see that she's a liar. One thing I'd like to add is that MHJ used her shaman to name the company Ador, which is really weird. She couldn't come up with the name herself, but she's the best at everything (as she implies)? Maybe this is why this is happening to her now, because it's not going to end well with HYBE or the K-pop industry itself. Also, I think it's ridiculous that people believe that HYBE would make up stuff about MHJ to make the corporation look better. They now are a conglomerate, more powerful than any entertainment agency ever, and they have all the money in the world to fight any of her BS to the end. And lastly, my opinion is Bang PD took very good care of the BTS members over the long haul and still today. I don't think that it's this horrible corp that so many others do. HYBE is not only taking the heat for all of this, but other crap as well. Every day there's new gossip (delusions I call them) on Twitter. I'm sick of it, so I'm fighting back. In the end, this is dangerous stuff for the individuals involved, as we've seen what can happen to idols and others that are thrashed and trashed online due to unsubstantiated or completely untrue rumors. So I've gone on for too long, but thank you so much for this video. It was straightforward and informative, and should turn all those MHJ supporters into non-supporters.
The leadership is bound to be changed because shareholders decide what is best for their money. Changes will take place however, it wont be based on fan ideologies(of what they think). I think some CEOs will or can choose leave. Btw why didn't Mhj leave and then sue Hybe after? I think people would have believed her more. Even now, I can't fight to stay in a company that wants me gone.
literally the only similar between new jeans and illit’s music is they both do chill bops. and yeah new jeans might have popularised that sound but it’s really only the tempo that’s similar. the sound is completely different. magnetic sounds nothing like any of new jeans songs… i guess the closest would be maybe newjeans/asap/cool with you but even then the similarities are tenuous
4:35 this is one of the classic ways narcissists try to garner sympathy and manipulate people into thinking everyone else agrees with what they’re claiming. Don’t fall for that bs. (Note: it’s not only narcissists who do this, but it’s a very Cluster B-type and/or antisocial personality type of behavior).
im so happy im the type of person to form my own opinion rather than follow what the media and people are trying to say. i've always felt like min heejin was just weird... hybe has problems too but there's no way i'm siding with her in this battle
She's overly close and it's weird to me she wanted to make a group and wanted young girls. They go to her house and call her up in the night and hang out. She said she felt like their friend? But also their mother? But she brought them into this situation? How is this not at least confusing people
@@AC-if4sz She relates herself as a motherly figure to newjeans... that's all we need to know. That's inappropriate. A red flag. You're getting picky over nothing as if it changes a single bit of anyone's understanding. She's their boss. She should not feel anything within the realm of motherly towards them.
@@kristyns1640 she makes an expression that oh this must be what a mother is like considering she has no children. in korea, expressing one to feel like a mother is not a creepy thing. stop projecting western stereotypes to korean culture.
@@AC-if4sz And now you are taking it out of context. If she said that and only that, we would have no issue. However......... with everything else, relating herself to a mother is weird. They are people she is supposed to have a professional relationship with, and proper boundaries for protection. Instead, they call her up in the night and cry to her. Instead they hang out and go to her house. And she cries about it all in a press conference she called to defend herself from unrelated allegations of her own business dealings. Stop making excuses for a weird person! I get you hate hybe! Guess what! They are all awful and weird.
Hybe only responsibility is to supply resources, financial backing and music distribution for each label The individual labels work independently and are responsible for managing their own artists
The way this video got me jumping up and down screaming FACTS at the top of my lungs while giving full approval with a praise dance and applause is on a whole new level. I agree with this PSA 300Billion times💯
YES! I completely agree with you. I can't understand how people can believe her when you step back and look at the facts. And that PR stunt/press conference...did people forget what she does for work? She is a conceptual artist! Her job is to manipulate the public to buy whatever it is she's selling. In this case, being a victim is what she's selling.
i think mhj using newjeans as a shield is absolutely disgusting esp. when mentioning le sserafim & illit. she doesn’t care abt the girls at all bc she if she did, she would consider the girls’ feelings which she hadn’t. most idols don’t have friends outside of the group they’re in & with the girls being very young (just look at the ages of their 4th & 5th gen peers, illit & unis are the ONLY groups who have the same age range as them) this situation is DEFINITELY gonna have repercussions on the girls’ ability to make friends in the industry. yunjin & hanni are literally friends also! like imagine how hanni’s feeling 🙄
I agree with everything you said 1000%. Plus according to the plan ,that her own VP said was true (although he said it was just "a joke"), they were going to start a public opinion campaign against Hybe in April and May. Which is exactly what's been going on. Also, latest update mhj says bpd mistreated nwj because he didn't return greetings in the elevator several times. And she said the parents want nwjs to stay with her not hybe😂 all of that to distract from the claims that nwjs latest song was plagiarized from a 80s british group.
The solace that I take from this after watching this woman cause destruction for over 10 years starting at SM (I'm a much older K-popper), is that this time she may have just ended her own career
My thoughts exactly..like from the beginning of this case..i seriously sense that something is wrong with min heejin..she shouldn't had brought up newjeans name in her fued..and everything that I was thinking is exactly the same like what you explained..
Omg, this exactly what I was telling my friends. Gurl you better read this lady and the diagram is just icing on the cake. It has been so infuriating watching people use news highlights instead looking at the facts.
I need her to file the injunction to break the contract, pay the debts, give up that laptop, clear the 16th floor, and stfu already lmao like- What's stopping her? Why is she doing all of this? Because her girl will make a comeback or something? 🤔
Thank you for Reenforcing my stances on this woman,the fact that people have chosen to ignore all the gross creepy stuff she's done simply because she's the "victim" is appalling .
i have watched the live hearings and i have to say koreans are very prone to emotion and compassion and thus can be manipulated easily. if johnny depp and amber heard case was in korea amber would have won.
I don't know if it's true but if it is it's truly disgusting people who are still siding with her should assess themselves again because its truly evil to side with her
I did not like how she used the girl groups during her press conference. Some of them are children and young adults. She was wrong for that regardless of the other claims
I hope whoever will success Ador won't be a HYBE drone. HYBE is barely able to care for their current girl groups and seem to be selective with which subsidiaries they actively engage with, and I'd hate for NewJeans to get the short end of the stick once MHJ finally gets yeeted out. Sidenote: I HATE how the SM culture carried over to MHJ. You are a company, not a family. Stop being weirdly personally involved with people who are at your mercy due to contract obligations. In all of the job's I've ever had, the ones where my boss called us "family" were easily the most toxic places I worked at. Good riddance MHJ.
I agree with all the things that you have pointed out. I just want to note about the promotional content of their 13M views mv. It was about how there's no yt shorts for nwjns new mv in hybe's yt, not congratulatory posts. But that was not hybe's job either way, it was ador's. In fact, there's no shorts in hybe's yt about nwjns since their debut. That's ador's job, but their fans mad to hybe and compared it to other hybe's artists. That's funny because I can count shorts for bts solo era in one hand, but they always make bunch for txt every cb while both of them are under one label, bighit. Therefore it was their label's choice and job to make those shorts, not hybe as a company.
I can't believe that people honestly think it's the corporation's responsibility to run around with a phone recording these shorts. Like it should be obvious that job would fall to the individual label hence Ador. But I guess people find a way to throw out all logic when they just jump on the hate train.
@@oliveb. i kust saw that, she deleted all the articles of the reporter who wrote about it. And then went and posted that illet copied nj and wore hanboks. This women is crazy 🤣
Hybe just recently got conglomerate status which means they have to follow very strict laws when doing businesses . The Korean government will closely mentor all of hybe businesses deals
i dont like hybe anymore after the last couple of months but omfg min heejin is so clearly in the wrong here its laughable to see people arguing otherwise.
Controversial opinion: Let's not trust or believe either side for a change. Both have everything to lose and everything to gain here, so we can easily say that distorting facts is not off the table for either party. Just because there are 2 sides does not mean one of them has to be right.
This video isn't about taking Hybe's side, it's about recognizing lies. The ones being hurt are the idols and the ones being manipulated are the fans. I can fully believe MHJ is a liar without taking up advocacy for Hybe.
If MHJ wants to get things done then do it like a CEO of the company not seeking attention by dragging teens and other groups attached to the label. Hybe made the biggest mistake of making the wrong person as CEO. HYBE learn from your mistakes.
pointing out that min heejin is untrustworthy doesn't mean i'm siding with hybe. my concern is that her actions are having detrimental effects on the idols she manages and other idol groups she's in proximity to. not liking min heejin = siding with hybe.
@@monimuppet6132 I wasn't saying it was and maybe my comment was worded poorly if that's what you thought when reading it. I'm not taking either side, the video clearly doesn't take either side either. I've seen a lot of people debating and I'm just tired of seeing some people involved in the debate just picking a side and going with it because on the surface it seems to be the "lesser of two evils". My point being, instead of people picking one lesser evil in this debate, why don't we just not pick at all and remove both evils? It's not like we all don't know that they're both equally toxic. The truth is anybody involved with either of these two always end up hurting more than benefiting. Hence why I made this comment directed toward fans that are picking one side in this debate and asking them why we don't just rid ourselves of having to put up with either of them. Hopefully this explains it better. I'm not opposed to the viewpoint that the video has, I actually completely agree with it.
@@redvelvetsus I was not coming from a place of remotely suggesting this. I think my comment was either worded poorly or you misunderstood what I meant as a result of my poor wording and responded to my comment thinking I was some sort of crazed min heejin fanboy. Maybe a mix of both since these kinds of videos always attract those kinds of white knights, probably my wording, I don't know. I have no horse in this race. I don't like either side and I don't stan any of their groups. As I explained in my last reply, what I was implying is that they are both incredibly toxic and do more harm to anybody unfortunate enough to become involved with them than anything else. My comment was pointed toward the fans that are trying to find the side that they consider to be the "lesser of two evils" and going with supporting that side. I was underlining that it is still *two* evils, and just because there are multiple sides in a debate does not mean that you absolutely have to pick one, or that just because multiple parties exist does not mean one party has to be the one that is 100% in the right. I was questioning why these fans that have already picked a side in this debate don't just refrain from picking a side and just let the two evils take each other down as that is in the best interest of the idols and the fans involved at this point. Her actions that have had net negative impact on idols unlucky to work with her has been largely discussed for many months now if not close to a year, I didn't disagree with that to begin with but at this point especially it's been proven. I would still argue the same is at the very least somewhat true for Hybe though. They are also toxic to their idols, just in a slightly different way. I was pointing out that both sides have hella incentives to manipulate and spin things to fit the narrative they want to paint, and that's why I don't really trust anything either of them claim until there is irrefutable receipts. I apologise if my comment was worded poorly, I do agree with the video and the points, I'm just tired to see that some company stans cannot see what's painfully obvious for themselves and need these facts constantly reiterated to them. I don't support either side whatsoever. I hope this is a better explanation of what I meant in my original comment and clears up any confusion with it.
i couldn’t agree more. this is just a theory but see how mhj has expressed bad things about le sserafim and illit to say she’s been wronged? i truly believe she tried sabotaging the groups by making the most popular idol members leave, first garam and now youngseo. she likes to play the victim and act as if she was just a teenager who is vulnerable to make people empathize but she has so much power and is capable to do anything to get what she wants, and we know what she wants. she’s also a terrible person plus the pedo allegations makes it worse.
I agree with you. I knew the first time at the press conference. She’s trying manipulate public opinion by crying and cursing. That unprofessional and toxic.
I think public opinion is starting to change. I think she's pretty transparent. We will hear the court ruling this Friday if the judge is going to let Hybe hold their Shareholder meeting without her. According to the law, they should be allowed to. They also have the best law firm in Korea. If the court rules in Hybe's favor, she is GONE!! Then, will come the lawsuit against her. I think she's in big trouble and could potentially "if found guilty", be spending time in a jail cell. I'm pretty sure her stylist will turn against her to save her own butt! Good point you make about SM and/or anyone else coming to her defense with the exception of New Jeans and their parents who have been manipulated.
Thank you!!!!! You hit every angle about this woman’s scheme to get rich quick off of Hybe. I believe it was her plan all along. Instead of just doing her job, she fancied herself to be a Korean Boss and used everyone to try to achieve that. Everyone…
Kpop fans are delusional but believing that min heejin is innocent and HYBE is fabricating the evidence is another level delulu type sh!t😬😬 honestly, I feel like all these MHJ supporters are yg and sm company biased. Tell your min heejin to file a defamation lawsuit against HYBE for fabricating the evidences.
she obviously made an insane amount of money as-well as became an insanely respected individual thanks to her work on newjeans. it’s so frustrating to see her ruin not only her career but as-well as the ones of her idols for NO REASON.
I mean i don't know how to not talk about new jeans if the main argument with hybe she had was because hybe was mistreating new jeans by not promoting them as much as others , by stealing their choreography, etc so technically they are the main point of all this drama The only think i did not agreed to was revealing who the members supported
5 months later, with everything that came out recently, it's everyone's fault except the groups and the idols, it's both hybe AND mhj. Honestly this whole situation is just ridiculous and im absolutely baffled.
well a ceo cant do anything against the 80% owner of the company.. example : even if the company is crazy its still theirs 80% shares so they can do anything with it as long as its not against the law.. lol
After her past controversies and all that shit idk why y’all hearing ANYTHING she says as if she don’t like trouble. Plus kpop Stan’s really showing how easy it is to trick them cus they feel right into that trap of starting fan wars so she can move attention off of her + give her sympathy points from bunnies and other kpop Stan’s who can’t think…
Idk what to believe anymore and I’m on no one’s side cause both sides have their rights and wrongs… but seeing the majority ride for mhj is making me feel crazy like… am I missing something? These were the same people dragging her and newjeans thru the mud when they debuted. Kpop stans love to follow the majority
I agree with everything but 1 correction is that Minji was the only source trainee. Hanni was found in a global audition and the other girls were scouted as far as I know. Great video!
18:29 - 18:47 WHY ARE MEW JEANS DANCING LIKE THAT?!?!!! As the youngest of my own family, I feel so uncomfortable seeing someone around my age range dance like that when it’s well known a majority of NJ fans base are “Uncle” fans… I felt very off guard seeing that clip. It gives the same purposeful vibes as Cookie but choreography this time instead of the song itself.
Thank you😭!!! I'm 18 and I wld feel soo uncomfortable dancing like that. I feel like ever since the members turned 18 the dances got weirder. And the comments lowk sexualise them. But just bcs ur 18/19 doesn't mean ur fully grown. It's just an excuse 4 creeps
as of today july 12, belift came out with a crooked defense that is just twisting min heejin’s words, perverting the girls, and dragging other groups into this! heejin literally said “im not criticizing illit, its not their fault” while belift says “min heejin blames illit”
The really sad thing is that MHJ has poisoned the teenage members of Newjeans against HYBE. She's like a toxic divorced mother. By the time they mature enough to realize how she's been using them, the damage to their careers may already be done.
I believe in all you have said, and you not even once mentioned that HYBE has tried to get in contact with New Jeans parents but they seemed reluctant to do so. Can you imagine how many lies have she planted in this girls parents mind? It is so obvious and disgusting.
@@BLINKSalwaysSTAYit's Rich coming for a yg gp Stan lol. You're all are so pathetic like random people will jump in things that BTS is mentioned in. That the only motive you all have. Without doing any proper research just being ignorant.
@@BLINKSalwaysSTAY I'm sorry but I can't and won't feel bad for MHJ. For me she's a toxic, manipulative person and I stopped caring about these type of people a long time ago. Yeah, I can agree with them about certain things sometimes or they can also struggle or go through hardships. I can also recognize the things they are good at. I'm still not feeling bad for them sorry. They are selfish, toxic and manipulative people so why should I care about them? Not counting her mistreatment narrative is just her way to have people side with her and divert attention from things she was planning to do. Believe she doesn't want to go independent because of mistreatment, it's just that story sells lol The reason why Korean and international fans have different opinions of her isn't because ifans can't understand Korean or it's a different culture or they are hybe stans (some are and they will side with the label no matter what). The rest of us are wary of her for a long time ago for her odd fixation on youth and relationship with NJ while it seems like she got a good reputation in korea. People tend to overlook bad aspects as long as they like you. Same like LSM, some people overlook or downplay the shitty things he did only because he's considered a genius to them. But don't think korean people are nicer than ifans for this, she better start praying they don't change their opinion of her or they are gonna destroy her.
TL:DR since this is long: MHJ is a ridiculous person who is a shame to everyone who is an adult and loves to be creative, and deserves some jail time for her many egregious actions that she has done during her time in the music industry from SM boy groups to her actions with newjeans and hybe. I'm just GENUINLY so concerned for the newjeans girls because if they keep backing mhj after putting out some petitions for her very recently, they're screwed. Which would be tragic. But like, all of them need some therapy or smth after being so brutally manipulated by mhj. I wish her horrible actions in the industry were better well known before so that the girlys could've debuted with someone else directing them, who isn't a child predator and unsafe adult who clearly is comfortable getting into close relationships with minors when it is supposed to be a work setting. This whole situation makes me sad. First that MHJ still receives support and has been able to work in the industry with little fault for this long, when she has left traces of gross treatment of children everywhere she works. Then that hybe took her on, and let her around their trainees. That newjean's parents, although I'm sure they are wonderful people who want their daughter's to be successful, signed then not only into the industry in general at such a young age (varies by member ofc) but also to mhj, who has such a weird relationship with them. I'm sure that developed more into a strange area also with manipulating these parents (thats speculation, but I'm sure mhj could and would do it) after the contracts were signed. Like I'm sure their parents, like most that sign these minor's contracts, just want them to live out their dreams and be successful, but it doesn't dissolve the fact that signing these contracts isn't safe or smart for their children, and is really quite a dangerous move that should be illegal in all music industries. Hybe is obv not a perfect company. Duh, who is. Newjeans parents, although loving, aren't perfect, since they allowed their minors to sign into a contract placing them (a) in this industry and (b) in close contact with mhj, someone who I'm sure with not too much research or time, at least gives of bad vibes, but also has left trails of bad behavior with minors. IDK how accessible that information is in Korea with privacy laws, but it should be in Vietnam and Australia at least. Which is 3/5 member's parents. ALSO, the way MHJ is dealing with this situation is also DISGUSTING. Ignoring the suspicion of literal CRIMES, she's instead (and unfortunately successfully, since she's a wonderful manipulator) directing the attention to creating fanwars, targeting MINORS, putting pressure on newjeans instead of PROTECTING THEM which someone who is a "mother figure" like she claims herself to be for them SHOULD be focusing on doing all in order to try and save face. It's absolutely abhorrent behavior, and I'm afraid that whatever punishment she gets will not be nearly enough for what she has done, which seems to be far too common in most courts of law. Throughout this video I'm just saying YES YES in total agreement because really, even if you can appeal to the public based on the idea of a sad employee fighting against her boss, the other statements, attitudes, intentions, and actions are CLEARLY right there for the opinion of the VERY IMPORTANT and might I say, most likely determining factor as more information (will) comes out against her. The fact is, even if with the press conference she can play that look for the general public, which although is important, assuming this issue gains traction (i'm sure it will) evidence that she is not a "normal office worker" will easily become more clear to a general population and her narrative (which is false in that aspect) is quickly swept away. It is just so, so wrong. It just hurts me how MHJs mentality seems to be almost one of "if I'm going down, I'm taking down everyone with me" as she manages to wrap up literally the entirety of hybe, a literal cult, specifically illit, aespa, by hand of le sserafim and the internet (which she enjoys to use as evidence) ive, exo, etc as for some reason justifying her bad behavior??? EW. Newjeans basically took an older more gentle, youthful concept that hasn't been around since the earlier 2000s, popularized it a bit, and groups began to debut with a similar concept because it (a) works well for minors (b) sells well and (c) is FUN and therefore easily popularized. If anything, you should be happy that your actions led to the growth of a new genre of interest in k-pop, rather than getting offended that anyone who doesn't do girl crush or noise music and believe that they're copying you... MHJ is hitting the same old, dead argument that has been around for YEARS that no art is original, that art imitates art, all art is an inspiration etc. Basically, she's saying that everyone is copying each other, because she refuses to acknowledge how inspiration from something allows for an artistic creation within the same bounds to be created, but not a copy (does that makes sense? Like you and another person can both paint some clouds, but they're not copying each other, they just have the same inspiration). I think this case is a wonderful international example of how horrible people act when they're in power. People can basically worship them, think they're so amazing, but in basically any country, they can actually be horrible to work with, be unsafe with children, etc etc and have no consequences applied to them simply because of 1 or 2 redeemable (which lets be real, isn't worth redeeming) aspects.
as a long time jrock/ kpop fan who's made it a mission to NEVER be driven wacko by the HIGH levels of entitlement and delusion within the idol industry, I appreciate channels like you who choose to break it all down and lay it all out for everyone to better absorb HOW THEY FEEL. My UNCHANGED take from this situation? the artists, the artists, THE ARTISTS. NJ are made up of 5 very talented, young, determined girls all getting caught in the cross fire of big wigs SAME with illit it's not right and the best thing a fan can do for there artists is IGNORE AND FOCUS up.
Finally!!! Thank you so much for making this video. You spilled only FACTS. Unlike a certain channel (K**kl*t) that seems to be on mhj’s payroll with all the bs they’re spouting. And bec a lot of people on youtube don’t seem to know what’s happening but they still keep on providing their opinions (i.e. hate towards hybe and their groups) while siding with mhj, here’s the latest: Hybe just dropped an exclusive in Money Today (a national newspaper in korea specializing in Finance): 1. They have proof that one of the Ador executives met with a foreign investor before the investor can talk to hybe, trying to butter him up with some information so he will invest in ador (mhj cleverly lying at the presscon saying she didn’t meet with any outside investors…well bec her minions did and they only reported back to her) 2. They have logs of the kakao talk chats of mhj and her minions planning to crash hybe stocks through the following: FTC complaint (copying allegation) > leak to reporters > hybe stock price crashes > minority shareholders will sue hybe (this is a violation of the Capital Markets Act and hybe already lodged a complaint with the FSS) 3. Mhj’s minion sold all his stocks 2 weeks before hybe’s audit so he wouldn’t lose his money (insider trading) 4. Mhj’s employee/stylist admitted to receiving payment from advertisers under the table meaning the revenue was not reported as a company revenue and went to personal pockets (embezzlement) She is under so much legal sh*t and all she can counter is nwj was mistreated bec Bang pd, the Chairman of the whole company, did not greet one of the girls in the elevator crying mistreatment to her parents. And now she’s trying to get the courts to stop hybe from exercising their voting power so she can’t be fired. She cried saying hybe is such a bad company but then she wants to stay? Like girl, pick your narrative and stick with it. Btw, making company decisions using her shaman friend is not only unprofessional and a leaking of company private matters but also very dangerous. Like why would you base your executive decisions on the opinion of a spiritual healer/leader? I watched The Glory and that was some evil sh*t that led to severe bullying bec of a shaman’s input. Mhj is the epitome of the worst kind of leader. A good leader credits her team when things go great (she didn’t, apparently everything nwj have accomplished is bec of her and her alone) and takes the fall when things go bad (she threw everyone under the bus). She is not fit to be CEO. Anyway, I hope others stop making this about fanwars and try for once to make educated opinions based on facts.
Ho. Lee. Poo. You made my day. AND YES, the frigging conspiracy-theory crap that was coming out of those fan wars was excruciatingly stupid. Thank you for this tea, it was DELICIOUS.
She is going to get fired, and she can fight Hybe forever and a day in court over it, but she’s still going to be toast. Who would work with her in the future? Yes she is talented, but far more trouble than she is worth. If NJ are collateral damage she has only herself to blame.
You talk about presenting facts but you start the whole video by saying she is self obsessed and you 100% believe everything Hybe is saying about her at 0:30 but you don't back it up with any facts at all. You throw in emotional language and at 3:45 you say she is full of shit... that to me is biased reporting already. As an outsider listening to your video, and I don't even take sides, it is clear to me you already have something against Min Hee Jin. Name calling her Big Mouth etc makes you lose credibility. Also I feel that being branded as BTS's sister is very different from having the same style as Ilit. You may think that New Jeans is nothing special but Ador, after the launch of NJ saw Ador earnings go from US$135m to USD$805m. I'd say that was something pretty substantial.
Honestly, her "pity party" press conference made me instantly see her as someone manipulative. It's almost comical how she dressed herself as if she was just kidnapped from home to hold a press conference which she organized herself.
Min Heejin involving NewJeans is a very obvious manipulation tactic. She wants the public to side with her, so she’s using NewJeans as a shield. People are more likely to feel empathy for NewJeans than they are Min Heejin, so she’s emphasising their connection to Adore and herself.
Yes, and that’s also why she made a point to claim that New Jeans and their parents are on her side.
No, seriously, how stupid can the public/kpop fans be to believe in MHJ? The moment she didn't address the illegal issues against her, she's already guilty.
it’s crazy to me how tokkis are saying newjeans’ debut was low budget & the attention video was shit from a butt bc bang pd apparently didn’t like the song & didn’t give them as much money. like???
y’all are not remotely smart bc nj & ador staff FLEW to Spain, spent a couple weeks there filming videos + content, they had background dancers, extras, locations, animations, cgi, custom made bags, etc. that is NAWT cheap & it’s frustrating to hear bc they’re claiming illit has a higher budget. have u considered illit’s budget might be a smidge higher bc a member left? or that they flew to taiwan? or inflation?
i remember newjeans got debuted and called BTS's sister group
The rookie group got the album visual that was denied to Jimin! Jimin from BTS, the group that created that company, Newjeans fans are delusional if they think the group suffered bad treatment.
I sometimes ask myself if their fans have common sense because it's clear most of them lack alot of thinking capacity because their blinded by them , the so called kids
@@chrisprettychu4 Their fans are mostly young and impressionable people, no wonder they can't think critically. These are the types who think they know everything when they actually don't.
Hybe spent alot of money on ador and newjeans.
Hybe has to make a whole new label. Transfer and hired staff. Then money for the company to be able to pay the workers. Then move newjeans to the label . Pay for debute and comebacks. Dormitory. Weverse made phoning app for newjeans. Ect.......
I don’t understand how anyone is on her side anymore. This woman is greed personified. You know the reason she doesn’t want to leave and exercise her stock options is because she will have to A. Repay Bang PD the money he lent her to purchase the shares, and B. Pay out 47% capital gains tax on the swipe of her stocks.
Is because people dislike HYBE regardless they are just looking after their $$providers!
After reading the comments of people siding with mhj i have definitely realised how many kpop stans have no common sense..they have to be kids otherwise thats concerning..also hybe being a bad company just like every other company does not give you the rights to hate on groups... y'all don't realise this but y'all sound like haters because it makes no sense to hate on illit,bts,newj or lsm
Unfortunately Most likely these are not kids don't forget that majority of Korea is on her side just because she's "relatable"
@@SpiderpunkrocksWhich is what always makes them look embarrassing at times. The same thing happened during the whole Garam scandal.. They think with their emotions rather than fact checking and doing research.
real
@@Spiderpunkrocksi think “majority of korea” just means korean females. U know how much they hate the opposite gender over there and males don’t tend to be chronically online yapping
You're the one who lacks common sense but has a lot of arrogance.
Oh thank god. I feel like I’m in crazyland with people believing her
they make me feel insane. Like, how is the manipulation not obvious? It's almost funny how she's basically costumed up to relate to working class ppl...
She the highest paid employee at hybe
U all r so stupid
That press conference was crazy and people who believe mhj might be crazy too
not crazy. they don't understand this corporate stuff and can be easily manipulated. Because most of them are just school kids
Excuses as usual
Please go watch the omg mv of newjeans many Koreans have explained the cult thing its a big issue in Korea as dahns world had a history of sexual assault and even people dying this is very serious but hybe is toying with media play so no Korean media channels are promoting it
@@dalgiTae nope most of them are kids. they are stupid.
When Min Hee-jin and BTS V collaborated, Bang Si-hyuk didn't promote V.
I honestly don’t care if ILLIT did or did not copy NewJeans like MHJ knows very well that the members of both of these groups are literal children. How dare she throw these poor girls under the bus, especially when ILLIT are already facing hate due to their live performances. Le Sserafim is facing the same hate after Coachella too, who of course just happened to be name dropped as well. She’s deliberately taking pot-shots at groups already being targeted by the public and it is 💯 calculated.
Only one member of NewJeans is still a child. That is Hyein. She is 16. Minji is 20. Haerin is 18. Hanni is 19. And Danielle is 19. But still doesn’t make it right
what the HELL are you people talking about. the new jeans members are NOT children. they are not STUPID.
@@arturintete2461 Being a child ≠ stupid. It’s fine if NewJeans prefers working with MHJ, but this whole debacle has never been about the wellbeing of the members. It’s a giant power play between grown adults and this is an industry who treats idols as expendable. It’s completely normal to worry about the futures of literal teenagers who don’t have the life experience to understand that.
@@alexandragabitto2573 i didnt say being a child equals being stupid. i said they are not children, and they also aren't stupid. yall love framing them as both.
nice twist on my words though !
what's not normal is believing you know whats best for the members more than themselves. they are in the industry, you are not. they have lawyers and advisors, you do not. they can see whats happening behind the scenes, you cannot. they know how theyre being treated by the company, you do not.
creeps.
@@arturintete2461 I apologize for misunderstanding you. I agree with you that the parasocial relationships people create with idols is/can be extremely toxic and that only NewJeans can decide what’s best for themselves.
My issue is with MHJ, HYBE, and their affiliates alone. I think her involvement has been a detriment to everyone involved, but still think if NewJeans wants to continue under her artistic direction then they have the right to make a statement about it. The lack of compassion expressed by the public over their press conference is particularly alarming to me.
When she said, “I don’t think, I’m guilty”. If you’re not guilty just say you’re not. Don’t say “i don’t think” just these 3 words, it made you guilty.
The new chats provided by Hybe tells me everything about mhj and what type of person she is..
THANK YOU. The online kpop space popular narrative behind this story is absolutely insane. MHJ is a narcissist, compulsive liar and it's not out of the question to posit that she may have committed narcissistic abuse on Innocent children.
This is going to get much more messy and I'm worried about the careers of New Jeans, Le Sserafim and ILLIT.
A good one at it. Atypical of people who are good nurtured. She manipulated the Kpop scene by using stan twitter tweets to make up her case.
The fact that she mentioned NJ and used them as a shield already reveals a lot about MHJ’s character and tells us what kind of person she really is. A “mother” would shield their children from this mess, not use them as a shield. It’s sad that so many people lack the sense to see this when it’s so obvious.
i love this video min heejin acting like caring mother of newjeans like no bitch you are being evil stepmother
In America, when a parent company wants to audit one of their subsidiaries, no notice is needed. HYBE has all rights to audit any one of their companies. That's the bottom line.
I really don't understand who people are siding with her .. she is so good at manipulation or people r just dumb ... Like her never directly answer the question, she always just change the topic to another groups
Finally someone with common sense! I can’t fanthom how people cannot see through her manipulative tactis… Since he very beginning, she has not once provided any concrete evidence, only crying and complaining and causing hate towards several groups, including her own..
finally someone with common sense
Why are you guys making min heejin look bad😢
@@하이-g4i9v she is accused of literal financial crimes, as well as endangering the idols themselves when leaking their private infos. And with the chats between her and Mr. A and Mr. L. It seems more likely than not
@@하이-g4i9vcause she is?? Look up her disgusting messages about NJ. She called them lazy b*****s and fat pigs. Her being a "mother figure" to NJ is all an act.
@@하이-g4i9vbecause she is bad 🙄
MHJ sees New Jeans as nothing more than dollar signs ….
I totally believe she turned this into a big fanwar on purpose, shes the one who benefits the most from this distraction not hybe. And I'm pretty sure she knew how many people are ready to drag hybe purely on personal bias too, from kpop stans to big executives who are bitter about that corporation success. Also we have seen other nasty scandals with big companies in kpop before but then ppl always tried to separate the idols from the company image and those companies are still standing today, now when it comes to hybe and their artists why do ppl wanna act different and put the whole company to burn? I dont think these executives are all angels but certainly ppl act biased towards hybe. In the end I'm just hoping for them to fix this mess and for the best outcome for the artists honestly.
New Jeans fans also need a reality check... They think that NJ is that succesful because of MHJ only when Hybe is the reason they are. They gave MHJ all the resources she needed and NJ got things not other Hybe groups (even BTS) has ever gotten.
They think if New Jeans leave the company they'll have the same amount of success but they won't they're still a new group and doesn't have a solid career yet.
If NJ's parents are smart enough they'll side with HYBE and stop getting manipulated by MHJ because the ones that will lose the most would be them and NJ.
They should rethink; if they were made by mhj's company outside of hybe they wouldn't even get 10% of being known outside Kpop shows and the world at large.
I am so impressed. Every point you made is right on point. I didn't believe her from the get-go, but you really laid out why everyone else should see that she's a liar. One thing I'd like to add is that MHJ used her shaman to name the company Ador, which is really weird. She couldn't come up with the name herself, but she's the best at everything (as she implies)? Maybe this is why this is happening to her now, because it's not going to end well with HYBE or the K-pop industry itself. Also, I think it's ridiculous that people believe that HYBE would make up stuff about MHJ to make the corporation look better. They now are a conglomerate, more powerful than any entertainment agency ever, and they have all the money in the world to fight any of her BS to the end. And lastly, my opinion is Bang PD took very good care of the BTS members over the long haul and still today. I don't think that it's this horrible corp that so many others do. HYBE is not only taking the heat for all of this, but other crap as well. Every day there's new gossip (delusions I call them) on Twitter. I'm sick of it, so I'm fighting back. In the end, this is dangerous stuff for the individuals involved, as we've seen what can happen to idols and others that are thrashed and trashed online due to unsubstantiated or completely untrue rumors. So I've gone on for too long, but thank you so much for this video. It was straightforward and informative, and should turn all those MHJ supporters into non-supporters.
Almost forgot to say, but I wholeheartedly also believe HYBE is in desperate need of change as well be it in leadership or the board.
Yp especially that CEO s
Yp especially that CEO s
No . The ceo of hybe is responsible for hybe whole business. He does his job.
The leadership is bound to be changed because shareholders decide what is best for their money. Changes will take place however, it wont be based on fan ideologies(of what they think). I think some CEOs will or can choose leave. Btw why didn't Mhj leave and then sue Hybe after? I think people would have believed her more. Even now, I can't fight to stay in a company that wants me gone.
This aged well
I love your detective board, that's the coolest thing I've seen in a while 😆
i cant wait for hybe to remove her at the shareholder meeting because of their 80% stake in ador.
literally the only similar between new jeans and illit’s music is they both do chill bops. and yeah new jeans might have popularised that sound but it’s really only the tempo that’s similar. the sound is completely different. magnetic sounds nothing like any of new jeans songs… i guess the closest would be maybe newjeans/asap/cool with you but even then the similarities are tenuous
4:35 this is one of the classic ways narcissists try to garner sympathy and manipulate people into thinking everyone else agrees with what they’re claiming. Don’t fall for that bs.
(Note: it’s not only narcissists who do this, but it’s a very Cluster B-type and/or antisocial personality type of behavior).
10:30 that’s part of the reason why she needs to claim that New Jeans and their parents are on her side.
im so happy im the type of person to form my own opinion rather than follow what the media and people are trying to say. i've always felt like min heejin was just weird... hybe has problems too but there's no way i'm siding with her in this battle
Being a childless woman in your 40's and claiming you're a mother to someones elses child is just a massive red flag to me.
She's overly close and it's weird to me she wanted to make a group and wanted young girls. They go to her house and call her up in the night and hang out. She said she felt like their friend? But also their mother? But she brought them into this situation? How is this not at least confusing people
she never explicitly said they were her child. u clearly don't understand the language because she never says "newjeans are my children" jesus christ.
@@AC-if4sz She relates herself as a motherly figure to newjeans... that's all we need to know. That's inappropriate. A red flag. You're getting picky over nothing as if it changes a single bit of anyone's understanding. She's their boss. She should not feel anything within the realm of motherly towards them.
@@kristyns1640 she makes an expression that oh this must be what a mother is like considering she has no children. in korea, expressing one to feel like a mother is not a creepy thing. stop projecting western stereotypes to korean culture.
@@AC-if4sz And now you are taking it out of context. If she said that and only that, we would have no issue. However......... with everything else, relating herself to a mother is weird. They are people she is supposed to have a professional relationship with, and proper boundaries for protection. Instead, they call her up in the night and cry to her. Instead they hang out and go to her house. And she cries about it all in a press conference she called to defend herself from unrelated allegations of her own business dealings. Stop making excuses for a weird person! I get you hate hybe! Guess what! They are all awful and weird.
Hybe only responsibility is to supply resources, financial backing and music distribution for each label
The individual labels work independently and are responsible for managing their own artists
The way this video got me jumping up and down screaming FACTS at the top of my lungs while giving full approval with a praise dance and applause is on a whole new level. I agree with this PSA 300Billion times💯
YES! I completely agree with you. I can't understand how people can believe her when you step back and look at the facts. And that PR stunt/press conference...did people forget what she does for work? She is a conceptual artist! Her job is to manipulate the public to buy whatever it is she's selling. In this case, being a victim is what she's selling.
Imagine if hybe just had enough one day and terminate all their contract giving them 3 generations worth of debt
that would be amazing tbh
Seoulite TV be dropping all the facts. I agree with your vid too.
i think mhj using newjeans as a shield is absolutely disgusting esp. when mentioning le sserafim & illit. she doesn’t care abt the girls at all bc she if she did, she would consider the girls’ feelings which she hadn’t.
most idols don’t have friends outside of the group they’re in & with the girls being very young (just look at the ages of their 4th & 5th gen peers, illit & unis are the ONLY groups who have the same age range as them) this situation is DEFINITELY gonna have repercussions on the girls’ ability to make friends in the industry. yunjin & hanni are literally friends also! like imagine how hanni’s feeling 🙄
I agree with everything you said 1000%. Plus according to the plan ,that her own VP said was true (although he said it was just "a joke"), they were going to start a public opinion campaign against Hybe in April and May. Which is exactly what's been going on.
Also, latest update mhj says bpd mistreated nwj because he didn't return greetings in the elevator several times. And she said the parents want nwjs to stay with her not hybe😂 all of that to distract from the claims that nwjs latest song was plagiarized from a 80s british group.
The way how I was waiting for you to respond and you delivered
And you should definitely do more breakdown videos like this
omggg hey girll

The fact she's using BTS,ILLIT ,New Jeans ect... too muddy the waters is very vile , evil , calculated. In my opinion
Hybe has so much more to lose for lying than MHJ tbh, they’re trying to take her to court
Oh, she's going to court alright! Depending on what evidence Hybe brings to the table, she could very well be sitting in a jail cell under Korean law.
SHE'S A BIG FAT LIAR !!!! MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WHO'S COLLUDING WITH HER ARE EXPOSING HER LIES!!!!
The solace that I take from this after watching this woman cause destruction for over 10 years starting at SM (I'm a much older K-popper), is that this time she may have just ended her own career
Not aware of her time in sm what did she do? LOL
My thoughts exactly..like from the beginning of this case..i seriously sense that something is wrong with min heejin..she shouldn't had brought up newjeans name in her fued..and everything that I was thinking is exactly the same like what you explained..
most kpop stans are either not educated or just incredibly young to even be on the internet in the first place.
Omg, this exactly what I was telling my friends. Gurl you better read this lady and the diagram is just icing on the cake. It has been so infuriating watching people use news highlights instead looking at the facts.
I need her to file the injunction to break the contract, pay the debts, give up that laptop, clear the 16th floor, and stfu already lmao like- What's stopping her? Why is she doing all of this? Because her girl will make a comeback or something? 🤔
Thank you for Reenforcing my stances on this woman,the fact that people have chosen to ignore all the gross creepy stuff she's done simply because she's the "victim" is appalling .
i have watched the live hearings and i have to say koreans are very prone to emotion and compassion and thus can be manipulated easily. if johnny depp and amber heard case was in korea amber would have won.
Finally a you tuber with all the facts and smart thank you
Plus newjeans also to from Mexico girl group jeans
im just hoping that new jeans, illit, lessarafim, bts and any other group involved in this come out unscathed
I don't know if it's true but if it is it's truly disgusting people who are still siding with her should assess themselves again because its truly evil to side with her
I did not like how she used the girl groups during her press conference. Some of them are children and young adults. She was wrong for that regardless of the other claims
I hope whoever will success Ador won't be a HYBE drone. HYBE is barely able to care for their current girl groups and seem to be selective with which subsidiaries they actively engage with, and I'd hate for NewJeans to get the short end of the stick once MHJ finally gets yeeted out.
Sidenote: I HATE how the SM culture carried over to MHJ. You are a company, not a family. Stop being weirdly personally involved with people who are at your mercy due to contract obligations. In all of the job's I've ever had, the ones where my boss called us "family" were easily the most toxic places I worked at. Good riddance MHJ.
I agree with all the things that you have pointed out. I just want to note about the promotional content of their 13M views mv. It was about how there's no yt shorts for nwjns new mv in hybe's yt, not congratulatory posts. But that was not hybe's job either way, it was ador's. In fact, there's no shorts in hybe's yt about nwjns since their debut. That's ador's job, but their fans mad to hybe and compared it to other hybe's artists.
That's funny because I can count shorts for bts solo era in one hand, but they always make bunch for txt every cb while both of them are under one label, bighit. Therefore it was their label's choice and job to make those shorts, not hybe as a company.
I can't believe that people honestly think it's the corporation's responsibility to run around with a phone recording these shorts. Like it should be obvious that job would fall to the individual label hence Ador. But I guess people find a way to throw out all logic when they just jump on the hate train.
Oh, she just released a statement with the names of the parents of the members of new jeans that bang PD have been ignoring them when they walk by...
😂😂😂 she did that probably because their new song has been accused of being plagiarized
@@oliveb. i kust saw that, she deleted all the articles of the reporter who wrote about it. And then went and posted that illet copied nj and wore hanboks. This women is crazy 🤣
@@Alabts they wore hanboks in south korea the nerve 😂
Those of us who saw through her manipulation called it and now they receipts are coming out 💅 I pity NJ
Hybe just recently got conglomerate status which means they have to follow very strict laws when doing businesses . The Korean government will closely mentor all of hybe businesses deals
After seeing that presscon, all i can say is that she's a really good marketer and manipulator. NJ better be careful
The only one being manipulated is you, who goes around licking HYBE's boot.
Thank you! someone needed to say all of this. I 100% agree
i dont like hybe anymore after the last couple of months but omfg min heejin is so clearly in the wrong here its laughable to see people arguing otherwise.
Controversial opinion: Let's not trust or believe either side for a change.
Both have everything to lose and everything to gain here, so we can easily say that distorting facts is not off the table for either party.
Just because there are 2 sides does not mean one of them has to be right.
This video isn't about taking Hybe's side, it's about recognizing lies. The ones being hurt are the idols and the ones being manipulated are the fans. I can fully believe MHJ is a liar without taking up advocacy for Hybe.
If MHJ wants to get things done then do it like a CEO of the company not seeking attention by dragging teens and other groups attached to the label. Hybe made the biggest mistake of making the wrong person as CEO. HYBE learn from your mistakes.
pointing out that min heejin is untrustworthy doesn't mean i'm siding with hybe. my concern is that her actions are having detrimental effects on the idols she manages and other idol groups she's in proximity to. not liking min heejin = siding with hybe.
@@monimuppet6132 I wasn't saying it was and maybe my comment was worded poorly if that's what you thought when reading it.
I'm not taking either side, the video clearly doesn't take either side either.
I've seen a lot of people debating and I'm just tired of seeing some people involved in the debate just picking a side and going with it because on the surface it seems to be the "lesser of two evils".
My point being, instead of people picking one lesser evil in this debate, why don't we just not pick at all and remove both evils? It's not like we all don't know that they're both equally toxic.
The truth is anybody involved with either of these two always end up hurting more than benefiting. Hence why I made this comment directed toward fans that are picking one side in this debate and asking them why we don't just rid ourselves of having to put up with either of them.
Hopefully this explains it better. I'm not opposed to the viewpoint that the video has, I actually completely agree with it.
@@redvelvetsus I was not coming from a place of remotely suggesting this. I think my comment was either worded poorly or you misunderstood what I meant as a result of my poor wording and responded to my comment thinking I was some sort of crazed min heejin fanboy. Maybe a mix of both since these kinds of videos always attract those kinds of white knights, probably my wording, I don't know.
I have no horse in this race. I don't like either side and I don't stan any of their groups.
As I explained in my last reply, what I was implying is that they are both incredibly toxic and do more harm to anybody unfortunate enough to become involved with them than anything else. My comment was pointed toward the fans that are trying to find the side that they consider to be the "lesser of two evils" and going with supporting that side.
I was underlining that it is still *two* evils, and just because there are multiple sides in a debate does not mean that you absolutely have to pick one, or that just because multiple parties exist does not mean one party has to be the one that is 100% in the right.
I was questioning why these fans that have already picked a side in this debate don't just refrain from picking a side and just let the two evils take each other down as that is in the best interest of the idols and the fans involved at this point.
Her actions that have had net negative impact on idols unlucky to work with her has been largely discussed for many months now if not close to a year, I didn't disagree with that to begin with but at this point especially it's been proven.
I would still argue the same is at the very least somewhat true for Hybe though. They are also toxic to their idols, just in a slightly different way.
I was pointing out that both sides have hella incentives to manipulate and spin things to fit the narrative they want to paint, and that's why I don't really trust anything either of them claim until there is irrefutable receipts.
I apologise if my comment was worded poorly, I do agree with the video and the points, I'm just tired to see that some company stans cannot see what's painfully obvious for themselves and need these facts constantly reiterated to them.
I don't support either side whatsoever. I hope this is a better explanation of what I meant in my original comment and clears up any confusion with it.
i couldn’t agree more. this is just a theory but see how mhj has expressed bad things about le sserafim and illit to say she’s been wronged? i truly believe she tried sabotaging the groups by making the most popular idol members leave, first garam and now youngseo. she likes to play the victim and act as if she was just a teenager who is vulnerable to make people empathize but she has so much power and is capable to do anything to get what she wants, and we know what she wants. she’s also a terrible person plus the pedo allegations makes it worse.
I agree with you. I knew the first time at the press conference. She’s trying manipulate public opinion by crying and cursing. That unprofessional and toxic.
I think public opinion is starting to change. I think she's pretty transparent. We will hear the court ruling this Friday if the judge is going to let Hybe hold their Shareholder meeting without her. According to the law, they should be allowed to. They also have the best law firm in Korea. If the court rules in Hybe's favor, she is GONE!! Then, will come the lawsuit against her. I think she's in big trouble and could potentially "if found guilty", be spending time in a jail cell. I'm pretty sure her stylist will turn against her to save her own butt! Good point you make about SM and/or anyone else coming to her defense with the exception of New Jeans and their parents who have been manipulated.
Thank you!!!!! You hit every angle about this woman’s scheme to get rich quick off of Hybe. I believe it was her plan all along. Instead of just doing her job, she fancied herself to be a Korean Boss and used everyone to try to achieve that. Everyone…
Kpop fans are delusional but believing that min heejin is innocent and HYBE is fabricating the evidence is another level delulu type sh!t😬😬 honestly, I feel like all these MHJ supporters are yg and sm company biased.
Tell your min heejin to file a defamation lawsuit against HYBE for fabricating the evidences.
I just knew in my heart that you’d have an absolutely perfect take about this
The girls and Min Heejin yelling Hybe mistreatment/abuse but they don't want to leave the company, lol.
Great video. Someone with common sense. Thank you
Wow! THANK YOU! I have been saying the same thing about her too... Let's just have faith the truth will come out! soon...
she obviously made an insane amount of money as-well as became an insanely respected individual thanks to her work on newjeans. it’s so frustrating to see her ruin not only her career but as-well as the ones of her idols for NO REASON.
"Let's start a public opinion war" and there it was... and everyone fell for it
Has she turned in the laptop yet?
Funny thing is she hasn't yet
Nope!
found it inside ur @$$
I was about to ask the same lol. But as far as I know, no she hasn't. And that actually says a lot if anyone bothered to pay attention.
The laptop has been in possession of HYBE since the day they conducted the audit, she mentioned it in the press conference. HYBE Stans are idiots.
I mean i don't know how to not talk about new jeans if the main argument with hybe she had was because hybe was mistreating new jeans by not promoting them as much as others , by stealing their choreography, etc so technically they are the main point of all this drama
The only think i did not agreed to was revealing who the members supported
5 months later, with everything that came out recently, it's everyone's fault except the groups and the idols, it's both hybe AND mhj. Honestly this whole situation is just ridiculous and im absolutely baffled.
well a ceo cant do anything against the 80% owner of the company.. example : even if the company is crazy its still theirs 80% shares so they can do anything with it as long as its not against the law.. lol
Can we get an update about this so others can see the updated information???
Thank you finally someone who has common sense when it comes to this!!! 🎉
After her past controversies and all that shit idk why y’all hearing ANYTHING she says as if she don’t like trouble. Plus kpop Stan’s really showing how easy it is to trick them cus they feel right into that trap of starting fan wars so she can move attention off of her + give her sympathy points from bunnies and other kpop Stan’s who can’t think…
This was nice and concise. thanks!
Idk what to believe anymore and I’m on no one’s side cause both sides have their rights and wrongs… but seeing the majority ride for mhj is making me feel crazy like… am I missing something? These were the same people dragging her and newjeans thru the mud when they debuted. Kpop stans love to follow the majority
I agree with everything but 1 correction is that Minji was the only source trainee. Hanni was found in a global audition and the other girls were scouted as far as I know. Great video!
No they were all under source
18:29 - 18:47 WHY ARE MEW JEANS DANCING LIKE THAT?!?!!! As the youngest of my own family, I feel so uncomfortable seeing someone around my age range dance like that when it’s well known a majority of NJ fans base are “Uncle” fans… I felt very off guard seeing that clip. It gives the same purposeful vibes as Cookie but choreography this time instead of the song itself.
Thank you😭!!! I'm 18 and I wld feel soo uncomfortable dancing like that. I feel like ever since the members turned 18 the dances got weirder. And the comments lowk sexualise them. But just bcs ur 18/19 doesn't mean ur fully grown. It's just an excuse 4 creeps
Thanks for speaking truth !
Thanks for being objective!
as of today july 12, belift came out with a crooked defense that is just twisting min heejin’s words, perverting the girls, and dragging other groups into this! heejin literally said “im not criticizing illit, its not their fault” while belift says “min heejin blames illit”
The really sad thing is that MHJ has poisoned the teenage members of Newjeans against HYBE. She's like a toxic divorced mother. By the time they mature enough to realize how she's been using them, the damage to their careers may already be done.
I believe in all you have said, and you not even once mentioned that HYBE has tried to get in contact with New Jeans parents but they seemed reluctant to do so. Can you imagine how many lies have she planted in this girls parents mind? It is so obvious and disgusting.
Unbelievably greedy and arrogant woman, she should be locked up. She has hurt so many innocent idols and fans. 😡
Hybe is also money hungry like mhj I don't side anyone bc they are both not trustworthy
@@BLINKSalwaysSTAYit's Rich coming for a yg gp Stan lol. You're all are so pathetic like random people will jump in things that BTS is mentioned in. That the only motive you all have. Without doing any proper research just being ignorant.
@@BLINKSalwaysSTAY I'm sorry but I can't and won't feel bad for MHJ. For me she's a toxic, manipulative person and I stopped caring about these type of people a long time ago. Yeah, I can agree with them about certain things sometimes or they can also struggle or go through hardships. I can also recognize the things they are good at. I'm still not feeling bad for them sorry. They are selfish, toxic and manipulative people so why should I care about them?
Not counting her mistreatment narrative is just her way to have people side with her and divert attention from things she was planning to do. Believe she doesn't want to go independent because of mistreatment, it's just that story sells lol
The reason why Korean and international fans have different opinions of her isn't because ifans can't understand Korean or it's a different culture or they are hybe stans (some are and they will side with the label no matter what). The rest of us are wary of her for a long time ago for her odd fixation on youth and relationship with NJ while it seems like she got a good reputation in korea. People tend to overlook bad aspects as long as they like you. Same like LSM, some people overlook or downplay the shitty things he did only because he's considered a genius to them. But don't think korean people are nicer than ifans for this, she better start praying they don't change their opinion of her or they are gonna destroy her.
TL:DR since this is long:
MHJ is a ridiculous person who is a shame to everyone who is an adult and loves to be creative, and deserves some jail time for her many egregious actions that she has done during her time in the music industry from SM boy groups to her actions with newjeans and hybe.
I'm just GENUINLY so concerned for the newjeans girls because if they keep backing mhj after putting out some petitions for her very recently, they're screwed. Which would be tragic.
But like, all of them need some therapy or smth after being so brutally manipulated by mhj. I wish her horrible actions in the industry were better well known before so that the girlys could've debuted with someone else directing them, who isn't a child predator and unsafe adult who clearly is comfortable getting into close relationships with minors when it is supposed to be a work setting.
This whole situation makes me sad. First that MHJ still receives support and has been able to work in the industry with little fault for this long, when she has left traces of gross treatment of children everywhere she works. Then that hybe took her on, and let her around their trainees. That newjean's parents, although I'm sure they are wonderful people who want their daughter's to be successful, signed then not only into the industry in general at such a young age (varies by member ofc) but also to mhj, who has such a weird relationship with them. I'm sure that developed more into a strange area also with manipulating these parents (thats speculation, but I'm sure mhj could and would do it) after the contracts were signed. Like I'm sure their parents, like most that sign these minor's contracts, just want them to live out their dreams and be successful, but it doesn't dissolve the fact that signing these contracts isn't safe or smart for their children, and is really quite a dangerous move that should be illegal in all music industries.
Hybe is obv not a perfect company. Duh, who is. Newjeans parents, although loving, aren't perfect, since they allowed their minors to sign into a contract placing them (a) in this industry and (b) in close contact with mhj, someone who I'm sure with not too much research or time, at least gives of bad vibes, but also has left trails of bad behavior with minors. IDK how accessible that information is in Korea with privacy laws, but it should be in Vietnam and Australia at least. Which is 3/5 member's parents.
ALSO, the way MHJ is dealing with this situation is also DISGUSTING. Ignoring the suspicion of literal CRIMES, she's instead (and unfortunately successfully, since she's a wonderful manipulator) directing the attention to creating fanwars, targeting MINORS, putting pressure on newjeans instead of PROTECTING THEM which someone who is a "mother figure" like she claims herself to be for them SHOULD be focusing on doing all in order to try and save face. It's absolutely abhorrent behavior, and I'm afraid that whatever punishment she gets will not be nearly enough for what she has done, which seems to be far too common in most courts of law.
Throughout this video I'm just saying YES YES in total agreement because really, even if you can appeal to the public based on the idea of a sad employee fighting against her boss, the other statements, attitudes, intentions, and actions are CLEARLY right there for the opinion of the VERY IMPORTANT and might I say, most likely determining factor as more information (will) comes out against her. The fact is, even if with the press conference she can play that look for the general public, which although is important, assuming this issue gains traction (i'm sure it will) evidence that she is not a "normal office worker" will easily become more clear to a general population and her narrative (which is false in that aspect) is quickly swept away.
It is just so, so wrong.
It just hurts me how MHJs mentality seems to be almost one of "if I'm going down, I'm taking down everyone with me" as she manages to wrap up literally the entirety of hybe, a literal cult, specifically illit, aespa, by hand of le sserafim and the internet (which she enjoys to use as evidence) ive, exo, etc as for some reason justifying her bad behavior??? EW.
Newjeans basically took an older more gentle, youthful concept that hasn't been around since the earlier 2000s, popularized it a bit, and groups began to debut with a similar concept because it (a) works well for minors (b) sells well and (c) is FUN and therefore easily popularized. If anything, you should be happy that your actions led to the growth of a new genre of interest in k-pop, rather than getting offended that anyone who doesn't do girl crush or noise music and believe that they're copying you... MHJ is hitting the same old, dead argument that has been around for YEARS that no art is original, that art imitates art, all art is an inspiration etc. Basically, she's saying that everyone is copying each other, because she refuses to acknowledge how inspiration from something allows for an artistic creation within the same bounds to be created, but not a copy (does that makes sense? Like you and another person can both paint some clouds, but they're not copying each other, they just have the same inspiration).
I think this case is a wonderful international example of how horrible people act when they're in power. People can basically worship them, think they're so amazing, but in basically any country, they can actually be horrible to work with, be unsafe with children, etc etc and have no consequences applied to them simply because of 1 or 2 redeemable (which lets be real, isn't worth redeeming) aspects.
man thank u for this detailed organised summary... I will recommend and share this and already subscribed to ur channel... GBU 💜🙏🏼
as a long time jrock/ kpop fan who's made it a mission to NEVER be driven wacko by the HIGH levels of entitlement and delusion within the idol industry, I appreciate channels like you who choose to break it all down and lay it all out for everyone to better absorb HOW THEY FEEL. My UNCHANGED take from this situation? the artists, the artists, THE ARTISTS. NJ are made up of 5 very talented, young, determined girls all getting caught in the cross fire of big wigs SAME with illit it's not right and the best thing a fan can do for there artists is IGNORE AND FOCUS up.
the best way is to look at it at neutral pov. let the evidence speaks for itself. don't get manipulated.
Finally, a youtuber saying what I was think I ng and stating the obvious facts.
Finally!!! Thank you so much for making this video. You spilled only FACTS. Unlike a certain channel (K**kl*t) that seems to be on mhj’s payroll with all the bs they’re spouting.
And bec a lot of people on youtube don’t seem to know what’s happening but they still keep on providing their opinions (i.e. hate towards hybe and their groups) while siding with mhj, here’s the latest:
Hybe just dropped an exclusive in Money Today (a national newspaper in korea specializing in Finance):
1. They have proof that one of the Ador executives met with a foreign investor before the investor can talk to hybe, trying to butter him up with some information so he will invest in ador (mhj cleverly lying at the presscon saying she didn’t meet with any outside investors…well bec her minions did and they only reported back to her)
2. They have logs of the kakao talk chats of mhj and her minions planning to crash hybe stocks through the following: FTC complaint (copying allegation) > leak to reporters > hybe stock price crashes > minority shareholders will sue hybe (this is a violation of the Capital Markets Act and hybe already lodged a complaint with the FSS)
3. Mhj’s minion sold all his stocks 2 weeks before hybe’s audit so he wouldn’t lose his money (insider trading)
4. Mhj’s employee/stylist admitted to receiving payment from advertisers under the table meaning the revenue was not reported as a company revenue and went to personal pockets (embezzlement)
She is under so much legal sh*t and all she can counter is nwj was mistreated bec Bang pd, the Chairman of the whole company, did not greet one of the girls in the elevator crying mistreatment to her parents.
And now she’s trying to get the courts to stop hybe from exercising their voting power so she can’t be fired. She cried saying hybe is such a bad company but then she wants to stay? Like girl, pick your narrative and stick with it.
Btw, making company decisions using her shaman friend is not only unprofessional and a leaking of company private matters but also very dangerous. Like why would you base your executive decisions on the opinion of a spiritual healer/leader? I watched The Glory and that was some evil sh*t that led to severe bullying bec of a shaman’s input.
Mhj is the epitome of the worst kind of leader. A good leader credits her team when things go great (she didn’t, apparently everything nwj have accomplished is bec of her and her alone) and takes the fall when things go bad (she threw everyone under the bus). She is not fit to be CEO.
Anyway, I hope others stop making this about fanwars and try for once to make educated opinions based on facts.
Ho. Lee. Poo. You made my day.
AND YES, the frigging conspiracy-theory crap that was coming out of those fan wars was excruciatingly stupid.
Thank you for this tea, it was DELICIOUS.
Great video.🎉😊 Thank you. I hope Korean public will hear this, wake up people see the facts rather thsn be manipulated by her.
❤❤❤ thanks for shearing👏👏👏👏💜💜💜
The ador shareholders meeting is on the 30th.
She is going to get fired, and she can fight Hybe forever and a day in court over it, but she’s still going to be toast. Who would work with her in the future? Yes she is talented, but far more trouble than she is worth. If NJ are collateral damage she has only herself to blame.
Tbh im js here for the drama cs like im bored and i have nothing to do but i never believed mhj in the first place and ill nevet will
You talk about presenting facts but you start the whole video by saying she is self obsessed and you 100% believe everything Hybe is saying about her at 0:30 but you don't back it up with any facts at all. You throw in emotional language and at 3:45 you say she is full of shit... that to me is biased reporting already. As an outsider listening to your video, and I don't even take sides, it is clear to me you already have something against Min Hee Jin. Name calling her Big Mouth etc makes you lose credibility.
Also I feel that being branded as BTS's sister is very different from having the same style as Ilit. You may think that New Jeans is nothing special but Ador, after the launch of NJ saw Ador earnings go from US$135m to USD$805m. I'd say that was something pretty substantial.
