Efforts have been made numerous times to take down posts about this issue. On April 25, 2024, ADOR’s Min Hee Jin held a press conference to share her perspective on the dispute with HYBE.

During the conference, she claimed that HYBE had informed her of their plans to debut a girl group, now known as LE SSERAFIM, which consequently delayed NewJeans’ debut.

She expressed feeling “betrayed” that LE SSERAFIM debuted first.

Amidst the ongoing feud, a specific photo began circulating on various online community boards, alleging that NewJeans was treated unfairly.

However, the original poster (OP) posted to clear up the confusion, revealing that LE SSERAFIM’s photo was of SOURCE MUSIC employees gathering to celebrate their debut. In contrast, NewJeans’ photo only included the members as they were being filmed for original content.

Caption of the photo: This just shows how much NewJeans was ostracized within HYBE, due to Bang Si Hyuk.

Most netizens were perplexed that people actually believed this was neglecting NewJeans and praised the OP for correcting the misunderstanding.

Comments from netizens included:

“That’s just their labels congratulating them…who are these idiots that believe this.”

“Wow, how are people seeing this as ostracism? So childish…this is just something the labels prepared for their own groups.”

“Why are they talking about neglect…NewJeans received so much through the impact of BTS.”

“NewJeans’ fans continued to correct this misunderstanding, saying it was filming for original content, yet they didn’t take it down.”

“What do they mean neglect…you need some sense knocked into you.”

“This is too much.”

“Anyone can tell that NewJeans is filming something. Those who aren’t even fans getting mad over this, these types of people are useless for girl groups.”

“But isn’t this not neglect from HYBE, but neglect from ADOR.”

“Thanks to the OP for the correction.” “Yeah, that picture is just of SOURCE MUSIC congratulating the girls…”

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
