Can’t believe I’m being positive about this man, but good on him for supporting the girls, their livestream was so ill advised from a professional standpoint, but they’ve been getting the brunt of the hate.

Armies continue to be insane. I’d post some screenshots of the comments, but I’m on my phone so instead here’s a c/p of my favourite:

‘ I believe JK's account @bowwow_bam is hacked because why would Bam be on the roof top of a resort hotel without Jung Kook, when JK is serving in the military? Also, previous pictures of Bam didn't have the dog leash around Bam's neck.
So I believe these pictures are Al and JK's account is hacked since it's not verified.’

I was so pleasantly surprised to see him support them. This was not on my 2024 HYBE-MHJ drama bingo card.

I was going to trawl Insta and Twitter for some insane posts but the original post was made (and rightfully rejected) very late last night and I didn't want to add anything new today lest it get rejected again for new reasons 🫣 but if anyone else has any insane comments, please share them! This has been a trip.

They are so insane, I love it. It reminded me to when they said people were cosplaying Jennie and that bts man to make it look like they were on a date

The hate mostly comes from international "fans". They remain very popular in Korea, even after the live.

I know they're joking (I hope, anyway), but I have seen some people say the dog's and his opinions are separate. Maybe!

A mess getting messier.

Bit Hit was QUICK to clarify what he "really" meant with this post. *bombastic sideeye*

Big Hit Music releases statement on JUNGKOOK’s latest SNS post:

- “We confirmed (with Jungkook) that the post was made out of the idea that young artists should not be dragged into disputes and used as a shield in any case.”https://t.co/rjvMQNznw9 pic.twitter.com/QtZs4mERgi

This is a case of "heartbreaking: worst person ever (hybe) making a good point" because, you know, the girls really shouldn't have been dragged into this wretched mess and used by Min Heejin as her mouthpiece the way they've been.

But again, the messenger is a corporation that really shouldn't be talking.

including accusations that NewJeans fans hacked Jungkook's Instagram)

People come up w/ the least likely conclusions

So wait, they're siding with the company and not the member of the boyband that made the company??

I agree with his words, but I don’t agree with him targeting them towards new jeans only. illit and lesserafim have been treated awfully during this by new jeans fans, and they deserve support from him too. It would have been great if he’d just said a general ‘don’t bully idols’ or ‘don’t use idols’ that could be an umbrella statement for all of the innocent kids that have been caught up in this adult temper tantrum. And annoyingly this post from him has only fuelled the mhj stans even further because they can’t comprehend that you can support these girls who have been manipulated by the adults in their life, and still want them to stay far away from min heejin.

yeah it's nice of him to support NJ cause they're really getting screwed in this corporate drama, but LSF and Illit have been getting non-stop hate from NJ fans since MHJ told everyone at her press conference that those two groups, specficially, were the reason for her problems with Hybe.

it's also why I don't understand how she has so many shooters other than NJ fans and Hybe haters cause don't tell me she didn't know exactly what she was doing with that.

She also emphasized at her initial press conference that the artists themselves are not at fault and it's an issue between the adults in charge. I'm not a MHJ defender but idk why this is never brought up.

because saying that didn't do a thing to shield them and she knew it wouldn't. "these two groups' existence is the reason for all this trouble and negativity you're experiencing but don't blame them" lol she understands the kpop fandom sphere and PR much better than Hybe based on how well she's handled all this stuff, she absolutely knew what she was doing.
