hi i hope you doing well i literally enjoyed all your readings bc it’s felt just real and not biased? so can you please read abt the relationship between njz and illit girls and how they view eo ? Im so sad about all this situation bc yunah for illit used to train with minji and hanni for years and now they can’t even interact with each other without ppl misunderstanding 🥲

"ILLIT x NewJeans: Sisters, Shadows, and a Whole Lotta Corporate Drama"

Are they enemies, frenemies, or just caught in a K-pop Hunger Games hosted by men in suits and NDAs?

The tarot + NYX stepped in with their witchy whispers and honey, this is a tangled weave of girlhood, ghosted friendships, and corporate spin cycles. Let’s untangle.

The Real Girls? Soft hearts, cautious steps.

King of Cups + Ace of Cups + Three of Swords reversed

There’s deep emotional maturity here at least between some of the members. They’ve trained together, shared dance rooms, cried in the same dorm bathrooms.

There’s NO “Mean Girl” movie happening between them — in fact, it feels like some of them still care but are walking on eggshells.

You ever see someone you used to be close with at an event and you're both like “Hey…!” but with sad eyes and tight smiles? Yeah. That.

Emotions are complex not hostile, but guarded.

The Public Narrative? Total PR Fanfic.

Ace of Swords + The Moon + The Magician reversed + Justice reversed

This screams “COMPANY-ENGINEERED ILLUSION.”

Hybe’s higher-ups might be playing puppet master, subtly feeding rivalry crumbs to stir drama, buzz, and fan loyalty.

Not directly like, “Hey, start beef,” but more like:

“You’re the future.”

“They’re the competition.”

“Prove yourself.”

Manipulative silence. Carefully chosen soundbites. Weaponized branding.

(Yeah as someone who is a fan of one of the groups and other groups I'm more of a casual listener of. I always found it really weird how you can feel the difference even in the fandoms. Don't get it twisted they're definitely some toxic bunnies but overall it feels like most of them kind of pick up on the fact that the company has really been trying to pit the two girl groups together but because of how good they are at the subtle manipulation and the narrative is sadly the other fandom I don't know what they're called I apologize. But they seem to not pick up on the fact that like yes the company is feeding you a fantasy of what's Happening behind the scenes so that you guys keep focusing on the public Fallout of njz instead of getting on their asses about what they are or are not doing in terms of the group that you guys like. Like I said I'm a huge fan of theirs I like a few of their songs but like they pissed me off with the way that it seems like they're not properly sitting there and giving these girls the time to shine or properly giving them the same treatment that they're giving their brother group. There is no reason why Illit & Enhypen aren't being given the exact same fucking push especially now at this point in time like the push that they were giving that boy group was absolutely ridiculous compared to the way that they're almost non-existent with pushing their girl group and even if you want to sit there and be like well the legal that has nothing to do with it. Those girls have nothing to do with this legal drama whatsoever it's between the company specifically the corporate people in the company and and Jay Z and their team. If anything I feel like the company is purposely sitting there and not doing anything with them so again they can keep spinning this narrative that because of njc it's causing issues for us and we can't sit there and not the girls have come back and x y z and it's like yes you can. Different shittier companies that I have seen in the 28 years of my existence and the decade plus of me being a K-pop fan as someone who got sucked into the Vibes and the music at the tender age of like 10 years old. I've seen worst companies with bigger illegal issues than what the fuck they're going through and they still managed to promote their other groups while literally being in legal battles over not paying artists or having artists sue them to get out of contracts. At this point in time you're making more money or just about as much money as the big three were making on average so there's no way in hell that you can't afford to juggle having groups having comebacks while simultaneously going through a lawsuit shit if SM was able to do that shit multiple times you could do it too.)

How the Girls Actually Feel?

Page of Cups reversed + Five of Pentacles + Eight of Swords

Some of them feel abandoned, outcast, or stuck.

Think: “We were close… now we can’t talk? We’re not allowed to?”

There’s loneliness. Guilt. Confusion. And maybe even envy not out of spite, but pain. One side might feel left behind, the other pressured to succeed without looking back.

Also… no one is really sure what’s allowed. There’s emotional paralysis here.

Undercurrents of Tension?

Seven of Wands + Knight of Pentacles reversed + The Hermit

Yes. Not from hatred, but from defensiveness.

They’re all in self-protect mode. Too much is at stake.

Even if they WANT to reach out, the machinery around them makes it hard stylists, managers, labels. Everyone watching.

And no one wants to be the one accused of “jealousy” or “copying” or “stealing spotlight.”

Long-Term Energy?

Seven of Pentacles + Three of Pentacles + The Chariot

There’s still respect.

Some may even reunite in the future, collaborate, or at least rebuild the girlhood bond privately once they’re out of the training-label cage.

They admire each other's hard work, but the space they’re in now? It’s survival, not sisterhood.

Overview:

The girls? Not enemies. Just emotionally tangled and corporately muzzled.

There’s nostalgia, sadness, and some unspoken love, but they’re being positioned as rivals by the industry machine.

Think mutual respect wrapped in silence and PR fog.

One day, when the contracts are looser and the cameras off? You might just see them reach out quietly, carefully, like a “you good?” in the DMs.

Overall they're still nothing but love and Good Vibes between them all. It's just that they're all stuck in between a rock and a hard place. They're not able to talk to each other reach out to each other or even interact with one another. I definitely have a feeling that behind the scenes the company most definitely probably tell the girls that they're not allowed to reach out like they don't care if they're friends I also feel like it's not impossible but there's a high probability because we have heard of this happening before from other Idols who talked about companies being like rival companies so they weren't allowed to talk to artists from those companies and because of this their management was like very adamant on like checking their phones watching what they were doing if they went to like music shows or events there were certain groups they weren't allowed to talk to even if they want from like the Rival company just because of the fact that maybe they have ties to that other person or to those groups from that company so it was like oh you can't talk to insert Idol's name because they're friends with insert competition group as far as the company's concerned. That's the kind of Vibes it's giving like there's nothing that these girls can do that isn't being absolutely watched and scrutinized to All Hell by the company itself. That's one of the reasons why whenever I see people being like Oh my God illit did this thing again that is like copying njz and I'm like no the company most likely told them to do that to say that to pick that out there because they know that by doing these little things they are basically manipulating the fandom into thinking that there is some actual rivalry happening between them when it actuality the girls have no issue with one another. Hell if most people went back and actually watch the goddamn live stream that NJZ did or the emergency conference that MHJ ended up doing they would notice that both the group and their CEO at the time literally told people;

"DO BLAME THOSE GIRLS THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT THIS IS THE ISSUE OF THE HIGHER-UPS AND THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE. THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT HERE THEY ARE VICTIMS JUST LIKE WE ARE."

Like that woman and those girls said that with their whole ass chest from the very beginning and they said it multiple times at the beginning and yet somehow thanks to the company having really good PR especially now people are forgetting about it. Like that's the crazy thing when all this first started happening cuz I don't know if people just have short-term memory loss but both fandoms were pissed off at the companies. They weren't fighting each other they were mad at the companies because they're fandom was crawling up the company because they were like yeah this is a little too similar to njz it's weird we want the girls to have their own vibe that doesn't feel like it's too similar like they're signed to the same overall company so it doesn't make sense for them to have like way too similar of a concept. The general public agreed to this bunnies also agree to this but there was no real heat or hate for each other's group until HYBE ended up buying Out Tag PR like literally if you look at the timeline of when they bought out tag PR and then the rhetoric changed and all of a sudden the fandoms really started going at each other's throat it was a month later they bought out tag PR initially in October they were talking about buying them out and they had already hired them by November they had fully bought out a majority of their stock and by mid-november all the way into December the rhetoric had completely changed and everyone was like at each other's throats like it was a fucking Street gang fight. All of a sudden we went from being pissed off at the company together because clearly the company was doing some shady shit and it wasn't making any sense to acting like we were in fucking West Side Story and about to start knifing each other. It was the weirdest switch off ever and then anyone who pointed out the fact that isn't it weird that this happened instantly it was you have no say because either you're older than all the members so you are a weird pedophile for liking either group weird ass take multiple levels one if you are a teenager you are not the person that they are targeting in the first place you cannot afford to go to all the concerts to buy all the merchandise to be a paid member on all of the apps and stuff you have no fucking income who do you think is paying to keep your groups afloat it is the adult fans stop being weird, too y'all sitting there and telling every and anybody who's pointing out that there's something fishy going on as just being weird or possibly saying that they're jealous or whatever is weird in and of itself does it not seem like something the company would want to do manipulate the younger fans to fight their battles for them, and three it kind of just made sense when you looked at it like genuinely just took a step back and stop looking at it from point of view of they're trying to ruin my faves to okay this is a multiple billion dollar company that is currently in hot water with one of their biggest groups on top of at that point in time they were being investigated for tax fraud which no one talked about because they were too busy fanwaring.

Honestly they need to get scooter out of there as quickly as possible I've said it before and I'll say it again that man is a beacon for bad luck I don't think there's anything he does or touches that doesn't eventually Decay and rot from the inside out. Dang PD technically has a year literally he has 12 motherfucking months to get his shit together before he eventually ends up becoming just like scooter like I cannot explain it but I feel like scooters one of those people where he just has he's the opposite of people with good energy if you ever met a person who has such good energy and they're like such a beacon of sunshine and light that everybody around them the longer they're around them ends up just doing better in life almost like this person has like the fucking Midas Touch and it's like now your life is doing better and now you're suffering from the same form of like lucky boy / girl syndrome that they suffer from but it's like the best thing that can ever happen in your life. Scooter does the opposite the longer you're around that mother fucker the worst you're going to get until eventually you yourself becoming a giant void of just bad energy and it doesn't matter what you do everything will go wrong you literally become the definition of Murphy's Law everything that can go wrong will go wrong and there's no reversing that shit once you've been around him for too long and bang PD has exactly 12 fucking months before he's been around that man too long. Not to mention I feel like everything that they're currently doing is just based off of scooter and a couple of the people from America trying to give them advice which is why they're doing this slaap lawsuit where they're dragging it out instead of just going to court because again if you have the evidence then you have it turn it in and let the courts decide but if you know you're going to lose you're going to try and drag it out as long as possible until the other party runs out of money and then they have to settle that's basically what they're trying to make happen but I don't think it will work. Not to mention it didn't work for scooter the last time he tried that shit so I don't know why he thought it will work again this time in Korea. But the sooner all of this can be over the sooner the girls can actually sit there and try to be friends again and go back to The Sisterhood that they have because that's what they robbed us up they robbed us something really beautiful friendship and Sisterhood that we would have had interactions that we would have had pictures and videos that we would have had and all for what? Because bang PD for whatever reason decided that the semi devilish semi-antichrist white man who promised him gold and gave him nothing but lumps of coal was worth the investment and sitting there and doing underhanded Shady stupid shit with just because.
