It feels like there’s no way good feelings can grow between them.
I do feel bad for ILLIT, who followed instructions and ended up becoming the scapegoat, but they also gained something from it, so it is what it is.
It’s just sad that things were going well and then suddenly they were replaced out of nowhere and everything split apart…
A lot of people say “they should’ve just stayed quiet,” but even if NewJeans had stayed quiet, they would’ve just been shelved. Didn’t they say they’d give them an unprovoked 1.5 year break anyway? ^^..

From the beginning, NewJeans knew that Min Heejin hadn’t committed breach of trust and that they were trying to push her out because they didn’t want to grant her the put option, so at first they asked for things to be put back the way they were. But since no one kept listening and Min Heejin kept getting harassed, they said they would leave. Honestly, if they had just thought of themselves as company employees and didn’t care whether Min Heejin left or not, their image probably wouldn’t have taken a hit. But I think it’s brave and admirable that they risked their careers to try to protect her.

But ILLIT or other 4th/5th-gen girl groups can’t completely replace NewJeans… If things work out and they’re able to promote again, they’ll probably rise again.

When HYBE’s internal documents were exposed, it came out that other idols had been SH-ed, personally attacked, and demeaned by HYBE’s older male executives. Then suddenly, in ILLIT’s award speech, Minju thanked Bang Sihyuk, who isn’t even the label CEO. In a situation where industry colleagues were harmed because of Bang Sihyuk, that was a very intentional and malicious move

They followed a NewJeans anti account too. Since it was an account the members ran themselves, it was confirmed that an ILLIT member followed it. And while trying to create an excuse to get out of it, they maliciously followed some unrelated accounts as well

What the post says is true, but look at the downvotes ã…‹ã…‹ ;
