Big Hit Clarifies Jungkook’s Message: “Young Artists Should Not Be Dragged into Conflicts”

On the 14th, his agency Big Hit Music explained that Jungkook’s post, which included the message “Artists are not guilty” through his pet’s SNS, was made with the belief that “under no circumstances should young artists be dragged into disputes or used as shields.”

That day, Jungkook also included heart emojis in blue, pink, yellow, green, and purple, the symbolic colors of NewJeans’ “Powerpuff Girls,” along with a flexed bicep emoji.

Since the post came shortly after NewJeans members shared their stance during a live broadcast concerning the management dispute between HYBE and former CEO Min Hee-jin, it led to various interpretations from the public.

As the post gained attention, Jungkook later edited it to add, “Don’t use them.”
