If you are a HYBE supporter, MHJ anti, or NJS anti unfollow me right now. Block me even. My blog is not for you.

I've been collecting my thoughts about the MHJ/NJS v HYBE issue for quite some time now, but with the recent speech the girls made at KGMA, Belift filing a new complaint and demanding 2 billion won, and MHJ claiming Belift is using Illit as a shield, I cannot take the idiocracy any more.

The amount of misinformation being spread on basically all platforms, but exclusively on TikTok and X, is astounding. More than half of the time I'll see a tweet it's just straight up harassment towards the NJS girls. How can anyone with a sane mind read that and think "Yeah, this is appropriate to post onto the internet for the entire world to see, something that will be linked to me and my digital footprint forever". I'm not saying this only for NJS though, I've seen some nasty toxic Bunnies post heinous things about the Illit members, just because of something their company or CEO said/did. This issue has nothing to do with Illit, Le Sserafim, or any other group that was mentioned/involved, OTHER than NEWJEANS. All of this has to do with HYBE and specific staff, including the new ADOR staff.

I was a Bunny way before I was a Moa or an Engene. NewJeans was the first kpop group I'd bought an album for. I was listening to them not even really knowing they were a kpop group. They're so popular that at my old job they played their songs on the radio, which is how I discovered them. I owe it to them for introducing me to so many amazing groups, people, and cultures. Without knowing them, I wouldn't even know what HYBE and their other groups (besides BTS obvi) were. Currently, NJS is one of the few groups (both girls and boys) I fully stan. I'm proud to stan them too, they are an amazing group of girls who are talented, and full of hope and positivity. They're impact on not only South Korea, but the entire globe is and that is an incredible feat. And I don't want to dismiss any other groups achievements, as a fan of kpop it's exciting to me whenever there's positive news about any group, we should all be able to uplift and support one another, not tear each other down.

That is why I find it so heartbreaking to see toxic fans hating and harassing NJS and Bunnies. I always thought kpop fans held such a great community, no matter what groups you liked. We all share the same interest, same musical genre. To watch people who are so blinded by anger and rage, brainwashed by a greedy dictatorial company, and paint five young women/girls as the devil incarnate, it's sickening. I've seen people say that NJS are idiots, pretending to be victims, that they are actively looking to be groomed. How do you feel as a human being, to claim these things (and more bad things!) about five people you've never even met before? Have you heard them say this? From their own mouths? From their own will? I just don't understand why we as fans have to constantly fight each other over the menial things, when the larger and more concerning problem(s) are dismissed.

I've seen a lot of HYBE supporters recently site the hardships of their faves, attempting to use it against NJS in hopes of defaming them and discrediting/invalidating their mistreatment. This makes zero sense to me. Do these people not realize that they are essentially saying that idols/trainees must suffer in order to debut/be "good enough"?? You'd rather your faves struggle and just accept that their company is shitty and will treat them horribly than to see them have good treatment that they deserve?? "Enhypen had a broken A/C unit in their practice room, but they didn't complain" Be so fucking for real right now. "TXT used to practice in a moldy room, it was growing mushrooms but they never cried about it." And you sound like you want to keep them there with that statement. Idk about you, but if I had the power to help in any way for my faves to have an easier time pre/post-debut, I would do it in a heartbeat.

There's a lot of misogyny/sexism and racism linked to the hate train towards NewJeans. Antis are constantly claiming that only "old predatorial men" are their fans (when in reality most Bunnies are young women themselves!). I've seen many tweets where people are lying, saying that MHJ is prostituting the girls, and that whenever they are photographed within the vicinity of a man they are selling their bodies to gain popularity. There is no actual proof of any of this. The only "old men" who are seemingly sexualizing NJS are Belift. Separately, the racism towards Hanni for being Vietnamese is also disgusting. Not just antis on X, but that SNL Korea skit where they make fun of her accent, that was not okay. Racism has nothing to do with the issue of mistreatment within HYBE, and that is bullying. Anyone who believes they are allowed to hate on NewJeans because they are women or because a member isn't Korean needs to reevaluate their morals because that is an infringement of human rights.

TXT is my ult group, and Enhypen is my second favorite group. Both of them are under HYBE as well, which puts me in an odd spot as a fan of the three groups. But in all honesty, I do not like HYBE, I do not condone anything they've done that hurts any of their artists. And looking at their track record... they've hurt their artists a lot, and not just NJS. If we look at Belift specifically, the way they treat Enhypen is unfair. The release of their internal documents says it all: Belift as a company knows and understands that the Enhypen members are exhausted and overworked, yet they dismiss it and force them to continue pushing. Never-ending tours and comebacks, forced promotions of brands that support the genocide of Palestine, rejecting brand ambassadorships for Sunoo, I'm sure there's more that I missed. If Enhypen has been and still is being treated this way, I cannot imagine what they might do to Illit, as if they hadn't already set these girls up. Those girls don't deserve the hate either. All I can ask for is for both groups to be treated like human beings, and not pay pigs. It hurts me to see the members in so much pain and exhaustion.

With TXT I do admit I see more leniency towards them, and my guess is because they are under Bighit, and are directly BTS's juniors. But when I see stuff like them also being constantly overworked, using Yeonjun to belittle other idols who are his friends, favoring certain members over others, etc. I'm reminded that my ult group also suffers under the hand of HYBE. Even though TXT is successful and popular, that doesn't mean everyone (including their company) will treat them with respect. I've seen some people on X send hate/concern towards Soobin specifically, as he did speak on Weverse (I think) about how TXT focused on their comeback rather than the lawsuit/complaints against HYBE and MHJ. And to be honest, I can understand why some people felt a bit disappointed or hurt by him saying this because honestly, I was a little as well. But mainly I felt this way because I knew he would say something like this, he was probably told to say this to not start more drama. It's a safe option because it's a true fact, they all have been too busy to really be able to interject into this situation that does not technically involve them. As fans, we only know what we're shown, and as a Moa I just hope all the members are safe, healthy, and are treated with kindness.

Seventeen's Seungkwan's statement on his IG is such a beautifully written letter, and it shows and proves that even senior artists can and will be used by their companies for profit as if they aren't human beings. It's so dehumanizing, what these companies do to their groups. Because at the end of the day, not only is it HYBE (who is admittedly a very big perpetrator) it's the entire industry. You could name any company, and at some point, they'd mistreated their artist. This is why I support NewJeans and their endeavor to better the lives of idols and trainees. These five women/girls know and understand that what is happening to them is not humane. The amount of sabotage towards a successful group like them is so backward, it makes no sense. Whether or not you classify it as bullying, no one should hear others being told to ignore them, especially in a culture like Korea's where greetings are so significant. Stopping a comeback and surprise fansign from happening for an unknown reason is unfair. Documenting the plan and intention to get rid of the entire group as a whole and replace them with a junior group that needs more time to train is downright despicable.

To NewJeans: I'm so sorry for what you all have been through. Thank you for being the smart, strong, and brave young ladies you are. I will always support you and love you. Thank you for creating beautiful music, videos, and content. I'm so happy to be a fan of kpop, and so proud to be a Bunny! Wherever you go I will follow with much love!

To my followers: I still plan to write for TXT and Enhypen. I still love them very much, despite their shitty company. Personally, I've learned to separate my writing from the companies, because, at the end of the day, I'm writing about my own storylines and plots that I created. Besides, it's fiction and 99% of my works are fluff and crack which does not harm anyone. But if you have a problem with my opinions/views on this situation regarding HYBE and NJS, then my blog isn't for you.

mhj press conference from hell was batshit insane BUT if even half of what shes saying is true bang sihyuk and source's ceo are never seeing the pearly gates

(allegedly)

decided to debut lsf out of nowhere without consulting her, meaning her group project would be put on the back burner

wanted to lie about her involvement in lsf to let people believe it was her group since bang sihyuk (hybe ceo) didnt have faith in them

made a separate label to be able to see through their debut, even though shed only own 20 percent of the company

filed a formal complaint to hybe about belift plagiarizing newjeans

they responded by auditing her, telling her to resign and spreading rumours she had consulted a shaman and wanted to take over ador

"Some NJ fanfic that nobody's asked for."

Incase you're seeing this: yes, this is some NumberJacks content I made. Not something weird or sus but something like a random reboot that nobody's asked for(or maybe they did), I called it: P.S.D.M, some random content where the sofa(where NJs lived) got sent to the new house for obvious reasons but they're perfectly fine since they continue solving problems for the agents. In the new house, there are four "people": Penelope Gaffney, Stewart(Stewie) Howarth, Divya Cordyoe, and Maxwell Jankowski. But don't worry: They're just supporting allies to them and they'll help them if needed. Some gruesome meanies are still out there, ready to cause problems while kicking people's asses but luckily for victims, the NJs are always on their way.

It is a bit of a jealousy thing, or at least it definitely was.

Generally, I think I prefer to be single. Life for me is just easier that way.

I do worry that I can’t remain good for someone. I worry I will become mean and ungrateful. I worry I will drive them away. Too often once I’m comfortable, I do try to drive people away. Like I’m sick of them. If they can’t be driven, I do the leaving. I don’t trust myself to love someone endlessly.

I worry I’ve convinced myself I’m happier this way to avoid finding out if that suspicion is true or not.

Something about this scratches at that anxiety.

Generally, I’m not very good at keeping people around. I have this deep seated anxiety when it comes to relationships. I’ve said this before about someone else, but I’m afraid it’s also true of myself. I don’t trust myself to love someone.

Before I met you, I really thought I could take a shot at it. Then I did meet you, and everything felt really intense. I mean ffs you asked me to go to Greta within a week of talking to you and upon our first time meeting. I was entirely windswept and blind sighted. What a fucking dream you were!

Suddenly, we were delicate.

I had been so close to the edge for a long time— not entirely because of you, but the day you went to see her broke me. I sat in my car for over an hour muting myself on and off to conceal a panic attack while you told me everything and I tried so hard to be supportive because it felt like the thing to do to keep you around to prove that I could do at least that.

So now we are here, and the dust has settled. For the most part, I don’t think of her. I know it’s not my business. Something about that playlist scratched me there.

I am happy on my own, as far as I know. However, it is entirely possible that I have planted that as a comforting thought so I can delay finding out whether or not I can love endlessly. Who’s to say?

I understand the girls ages, especially the younger 2 but the older three it’s less, because I have many loved ones who are younger and are more empathetic and self aware. The big problem here is Kpop stans will enable anything as long as they think it’ll be a dig at bts. Because they see hybe idols as extensions of bts; hence the ridiculous levels of vitriol this past year. It’s not their fault they were put into this but it’s their fault they stayed and even picked a side and joined. I think the thing that really freaked me out was how FROM THE JUMP mhj went out of her way to drop other idols into it by name and nj still stood by and defended her. Coz their fandom claims they’re “bravely”. doing this for all idols but they have no qualms seeing the hate their label mates are getting and they have no problem with that at all!? Mind you they have “spoken out” lots int the last few months, they even rejected a joint stage with another idol group “to protect the from backlash” (from their scandal) but not a singular word for idols are hybe. You can do multiple press confesses and public appearances to air out you feelings but not a single but of kindness for idols at ur label . Like that deliberate and malicious. If they get even a drop of good abide; coz lord know them stans and parents won’t give it to them; they’ll probably reconcile with andor. But genuinely it’s been brothering me so much how much this has impacted other acts at hybe. K-pop stans have gone above and beyond to bully and harass them this yeah, and njs have let themselves be involved in that for “their fight”. It’s heartbreaking.
