Fans of NewJeans are taking action with truck and wreath protests aimed at HYBE, demanding the restoration of ADOR and its CEO Min Hee Jin.

On September 23rd, the NewJeans fan union, made up of groups like NewJeans Gallery, Team Bunnies, and Team Global Tokkiz, announced they would be holding truck protests from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in front of HYBE's Yongsan headquarters.

The protest route includes stops at HYBE, Gwanghwamun Square, Hongdae Station, and National Assembly Station before returning to the main office.

The fans addressed HYBE's Chairman Bang Si Hyuk, saying, “Why is HYBE, which says it supports independence for its labels, trying to take control of ADOR and push out CEO Min Hee Jin? Why are you ignoring agreements and court rulings?”

They added, “The NewJeans members, even though they've only been debuted for two years, have spoken up for their careers. As the head of a major company, aren’t you ashamed to hide behind HYBE’s management and media?”

The fan union stressed that it’s HYBE’s responsibility to resolve the situation, noting, “The NewJeans members made it clear during a live broadcast that they want to avoid conflict. It’s time for Chairman Bang Si Hyuk to address the ‘restoration of Min Hee Jin and normalization of ADOR’ directly.”

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
