K-netizens comment on Min Hee Jin’s remarks denying HYBE capital’s influence on NewJeans’ success
Netizens re-examine Min Hee Jin’s reactions to the opinion that NewJeans succeeded thanks to HYBE’s support.
A netizen shared Min Hee Jin’s responses to people making connections between NewJeans’ success and HYBE capital.
Accordingly, Min Hee Jin said:
– I don’t agree with people attributing NewJeans’ success to HYBE capital
– ADOR is my own independent label and it has nothing to do with HYBE. My top priorities have always been “investment independence” and “non-interference”. Our source of investment doesn’t need to be HYBE.
– The phrase ‘HYBE capital’ got mentioned even when it came to discussions about the production cost of NewJeans’ debut music videos. Our budget was not much different from that of other companies or music labels. It is because we planned the production based on my experience with budget and market search. In fact, you could say the production was cost-effective.
– There were lots of opinions about the fact that NewJeans members receive salaries within only two months after their debut. I understand that there are no precedents to make comparisons. However, it was neither thanks to my generosity nor the great scale of HYBE. It happened because the members met the conditions to receive salaries

– They got lots of attention because their MVs were uploaded on HYBE channel. Wasn’t it because HYBE channel has many subscribers? ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ Let’s say the investment was not much and the production was indeed cost-effective. But NewJeans only succeeded and received salaries early only because of HYBE’s influence. Which other company can have such an impact on the global music markets like HYBE? She debuted the group with a golden spoon but acted like she didn’t care about it. I’m a fan of idols from another company but I find Min Hee Jin is so annoying
– If NewJeans did not succeed with HYBE capital, did the CEO sell her car and watch to produce them??ㅋㅋ
– Why? ㅋㅋㅋ Wasn’t their success possible thanks to the infrastructure HYBE built with money from BTS? She’s just trying hard to deny it because it’s hard for her to admit that NewJeans’s success is all thanks to HYBEㅋㅋㅋ
– NewJeans’s success is not all thanks to HYBE capital, isn’t it? There were also Min Hee Jin’s planning, their songs, and the members’ charms. How could they succeed only with HYBE Captial?ㅋㅋㅋ
– It is true that the success was partly thanks to HYBE capital, but it was not all. Apart from BTS, some other HYBE groups also have HYBE’s capital but they are not as successful as NewJeans, right? Everyone is doing well but NewJeans is the first team that made a hitㅋㅋ
