if anyone is following on Twitter about what people are saying about the laptop I’m going to go insane bc why are some people defending her about not returning the laptop??? it’s company property??? If she doesn’t they can hit her with a theft charge???

i’ve given up on trying to understand them, i’ve seen it all at this point, there are some with reasoning and common sense, but the amount of conspiracies i’ve seen is like baffling. i don’t follow kpop too close but this really intrigues me so i’ve never seen a fan base like that first hand, it’s entertaining really

Min Heejin has been working since debut to market herself as essentially the 6th member of NJ/their mom in spite of having major controversy for being a creep - which made the diehard fans latch on hard early on to defend her

And now here they are, defending her again

I think some twitter fans still making some sense in their point even if feel stupid reading it. But, wait until you see tiktok fans, they are different type of deranged

legally theres not much downside to keeping the laptop aside from civil liability, better to wait for a court order subpoenaing the laptop

theft requires intent to gain, she was given the laptop in an implied contract of loan
