NewJeans’ Minji Protest Trucks Spark Massive Backlash Among Fans
NewJeans is facing backlash as fans demand clarity on Minji’s status amid recent overseas activities.
Recently, NewJeans members Haerin, Hyein, and Hanni were spotted filming with staff in Copenhagen. This sparked speculation about the group’s comeback and whether all members would resume activities.
Fans quickly demanded an update on Minji, who was not seen with the others. Despite ADOR confirming that three members were overseas, no official statement has been made about Minji’s involvement. This silence led fans to send protest trucks to HYBE’s headquarters, demanding an official announcement.
“We are conducting a protest truck demanding an official stance on NewJeans Minji’s status.
Period: April 20 and 22
Location: In front of the main entrance of HYBE headquarters
Time: Monday 9:00-18:00/ Wednesday 10:00-18:00”
Fans expressed frustration, feeling Minji was being neglected and calling on ADOR to stop avoiding the issue.
“Artist declares return, company is a bystander and stays silent. ADOR needs to announce an official statement immediately.”
“Is artist neglect your strategy? ADOR needs to immediately give an answer to NewJeans Minji’s stance.”
“ADOR who has been hiding for the past five months. Stop shifting the blame to the artist.”
“Depleted trust and 150 days of deception. ADOR, stop hiding. What fans want is a clear announcement.”
However, many online argued that these protest efforts do not represent true fans. They criticized the truck protests as media stunts and urged others to respect Minji’s personal choice.
“hybe paying for these trucks is so %^&^@!^#… like stop using minji for media play… we are fucking tired.. also, block this poser. this truck protest is not supported by THE REAL NEWJEANS FANS.”
“Leave Minji alone. Whether they make a statement or not, that’s up to her. Bunnies don’t want a forced announcement. Is it only me who feels like this protest truck is trying to bring her down?”
As the situation unfolds, fans remain divided over how Minji’s status should be handled. ADOR has yet to release an official update, leaving the controversy ongoing.
