NewJeans Fandom Protests With Trucks At HYBE Building + K-netizens’ Reactions
As the conflict between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin intensifies, some members of NewJeans' fandom, Bunnies, have launched a truck protest
On July 26th, Bunnies Production deployed four trucks with electronic billboards in front of HYBE’s headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
They sent messages supporting Min Hee-jin and encouraging NewJeans members while protesting against HYBE.
The messages displayed on the trucks included: “Bunnies support NewJeans and ADOR / HYBE, stop illegal activities immediately“, “Protecting artists in words / Pushing artists to the edge in actions“, “Illegal disclosure of personal information / Illegal counter viral (try to make someone or something notorious, doing negative viral marketing) activities / HYBE is breach of duty“…
A representative of Bunnies Production stated, “We support NewJeans, Min Hee-jin and all ADOR members. We urge HYBE to respect their label and cease malicious media play and defamation against NewJeans and ADOR.“
The Pann article regarding this became a hot topic with nearly 3,000 views as of the afternoon of July 26th. Below are some comments from Korean netizens.
– Well written. Keep it up.
– To really hit HYBE, send a condolence wreath or a coffin.
– Understand the situation better, guys.
– Are Bunnies really helping NewJeans’ future?
– It seems like Bunnies are more of a fan club for Min Hee-jin. Over the past few months, it looks like they’re acting more for her than for NewJeans.
