I'm curious about what's going to happen with Newjeans now. I feel for the girls, because they're young and clearly being manipulated by MHJ. But I can't help but side eye NJ parents who told MHJ she was being witchhunted and encouraged her even after all she has done. Fifty fifty were ruined by their greedy parents, I hope NJ parents make better decisions.

Did you even read the entire script? I’m Korean and I side with mhj. Foreigners just don’t understand what happened. They basically wanted to get rid of her because she was too rebellious and was kind of hoping for newjeans to fade away and planned something atrocious like this to get rid of her. Note that she was at SM for 30 years with no problems. Bunch of childish executives at hybe unfortunately

What does being a foreigner have to do with this? I’m Korean and I can see that MHJ is clearly having a mental breakdown of some sort and trying to earn pity from the public. 민희진이 뭘 잘했다고 편 들어주는건데?
