Since BTS’ Jungkook posted a picture of his beloved dog, Bam on his official Instagram account, with the caption, “Artists are not guilty,” the drama hasn’t stopped. The idol added five heart emojis to the caption, which might imply a support message for NewJeans.
Amid the controversy, a new post and its comment became viral immediately on Jungkook’s post allegedly supporting NewJeans. The information was taken from the BLIND app, a messaging forum used by verified company employees, including a HYBE-verified employee.
The highlighted comment by the HYBE-Verified employee is about Jungkook’s post with the caption, “um.” The comment is a complete mock of Jungkook because of his alleged support of the rookie group.
Thousands of K-Netizens agreed that these kinds of comments are a complete insult towards BTS’ Jungkook despite him not publicly expressing his support. The controversy keeps increasing and Jungkook’s comments are just the start of a whole new conflict between HYBE and ADOR’s former CEO, Min Hee Jin.
