Ewww, look I just never understood this interest in Kpop Idols private lives. TBH I came in here trying to get a handle on all the fifty fifty accusations originally... Actually wait. I need to go back a hell of a lot to explain why I'm here.
I'm a very old man, my niece is actually a trainee and well she's also a huge kpop fan. She's been asking me to explain this stuff to her from day 1 of what happened.
I come from a high finance and legal background with a side order of military defence stuff. I'm NOT into Kpop really unless you actually count being exposed to it because of growing up in East Asia for part of my formative years and then working in East Asia half my life.
I read the original accusations and got confused, tried to dig deeper into it then people mentioned fifty fity and I dug into that and so on... mainly using Allkpop, reddit and all the other kpop fan sites as a resource to get a handle on it. So I could explain this nonsense clearly to my niece. And well... All I got still to this day is "hybe is lying and I don't know why". Well I do have an idea why but cannot prove it.
What eventually made me post was you know, reading all the hot takes on legal issues and that infuriated me because here's the deal. I've been doing this for decades and all the accusations flung by Hybe make ZERO sense.
Then I'd read how Newjeans did this or that wrong legally and I was like "no buddy you're stepping on my turf here, just because you have a thing about kpop is one thing you do NOT know what the hell you're talking about this or that legal thing."
If you've noticed every single one of my posts, when I'm not being snarky and condescending (at people who question me without actually having a good reason to question me), I'm laying out the information and explaining the logical reasolning and/or giving citations and quoting the laws directly.
The other side... are just making claims and telling people, if I'm being charitable not lies but severely distorting what is or isn't legal for various reasons. That actually makes me angry because I see it as a foundational duty when debating the law that you actually educate everyone around you about the law and not just pull shit out of your ass.
I've come to support newjeans not because I like their music (although old school Garage is one of my jams) but because the other side have consistently lied and talked complete bullshit about the law.
I've yet to see ANY of them quote any of the actual laws they're discussing. Not once.
Now to find them talking about teenage girls sex lives too? oh god that's just fucking gross and creepy.

Someone should call the authorities so they can check your computer...
