I feel like this place does a pretty good job on having two sided debates, even among those in the same fandom such as Tokkies differing opinion on MHJ. Granted I don’t read or comment on that many threads.
If I wanted hardcore trolling and vulgar insulting takes, I go to anon forums. If I wanted one sided pro NJ+MHJ I go to NJs subreddit, and for one sided pro Hybe I could go to the other K-pop related subreddits.
It’s been interesting reading the mod comments 
So predictions on Hybe's first response? Considering investors, publicly trading company and all, they're gonna have to say something today (its just hit early morning in Korea) no? One of its biggest acts, stock and with it being headline news in Korea. Early on during this Hybe seem to sound like they care in public statements but will they do that again or go on the attack.
Yeah, they’ll probably continue to gaslight and pretend like they care about NJ but attack them from behind but with more vehemence now.
Hoping Hybe says some more idiotic things and gives NJ lawyers some ammo because the caring veil Hybe hides behind is rice paper thin.
Man, this is such a horrible situation they have to deal with. It takes a lot of courage to publicly advocate for themselves and Ador’s original staff. Anybody that has dealt with similar workplace situations know it’s extremely frustrating and difficult to stand up for yourself especially after you’ve been brushed aside by “leadership”. They will gaslight you and make you think you’re the one doing something wrong by speaking up.
Yes, they could have stayed quiet and endured it until their contracts were over. At least from the live video it seems they are well aware of the implications and reactions and have decided that they are still willing to fight for what they want.
I keep hoping there will be some miracle or movie magic plot armor that happens and they’ll finally be free of this nightmare.
What is everyone’s guess on the storyline? Because I only get that Hyein is jealous of Minji’s relationship with that guy, and they might be bunny aliens?
Tiktok does not embed into the forums mobile sit well
I am sadness
Oh, darn, I even tried to change the link.
It was NJ’s appearance on CDTV Live where Hanni and Dani pretended to fight each other while Minji and Haerin tried to hold them back lol. The user put the background music to what sounds like arcade fighting music.
We need another fandom purge.
I can't anymore
There are things to criticize MHJ about like any other person, because she can make mistakes and do/say stupid things. I don’t think she deserves the amount of hatred she’s been receiving.
There’s a few points that a few people have already mentioned:
1. Sexism
If she were a guy I don’t even think this whole Hybe vs Ador thing would have happened. Corporate is not a place of equality for females even if higher ups want to pretend they are at face value. Even worse if you have something you want to advocate for because then they’ll see you as being dramatic and not a team player. If it were a guy, they’ll think you were brave and took initiative for speaking up. Also, this is Korea, known for being misogynistic.
2. Empathy/Lack of similar life experiences
I guess it’s a good thing that some of you have never experienced working in a toxic work environment or even a corporate/office setting because it’s stressful and soul sucking. A lot of the Koreans that watched her 1st press con and changed their opinions have likely experienced them though. That’s because it’s not rare occurances, MHJ situation was extreme in the way they ruthlessly tried to gaslight and character assassinate her in public.
Yes, their relationship is not business professional, the girls have mentioned MHJ as their mentor. She is not the first or last CEO to be close to her staff/employees/mentees. It’s not hard to imagine how they built a close relationship when MHJ is so hands on and have gone through adversity together. Someone needs to be really disconnected from people to not care when working that closely to the same people for that long.
Thinking about killing yourself and having a plan to kill yourself are different things. It’s common for people to have passive suicidal ideation (thinking about killing oneself). She had a very legitimate reason for thinking about it briefly but from what I’ve seen and read, she never had a plan of actually going through with it or leveraging with it. Leveraging would be if she said if the NJ members didn’t support her, she would kill herself. Leveraging is not the same as finding strength in knowing that people were reaching out to her and showing they care about her. I don’t think it’s strange that with the history of suicides in Korean society, that people thought that she would kill herself and would want to make sure she was okay. I find it very thoughtful and touching when people reach out (even seeing it on here with kynsom checking on Rand) as I have my own regrets for not checking with those specific questions with people I’ve known.
No amount of reasoning is going to change someone’s mind if they’re set on hating someone. It doesn’t even need to be a good reason. Like I have an initial irrational dislike of Leo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt because I don’t like their faces lol. I think I just get annoyed when people keep bringing up hate for MHJ to derail a conversation.

she's the new ADOR choreographer - it's an educated guess bc Blackq is a dude so doesn't really fit, Jerri is already backup dancer and Kimeunju is lead choreographer and never dances with the group.
Wow, seems like you were right, some fans noticed similar tattoo placement on Yellz and bunny mask dancer

From my "friend":
"NewJeans could only be so lucky, of course. Rina is a better singer than all of them put together"
With friends like these, no wonder I have to vent and bring such devastation to AKP.
If you’re willing to have a NJ anti as a friend, does this mean KPL and Rand are your besties too? 🤣
Day 2 Hyein and Rina Sawayama singing Bad Friend. Check out Joen’s YT channel for more 4K quality vids from both days of bunnies camp.
Day 2 Hanni solo. She had to adjust her mic on the fly cause it was echoing in the beginning.
Longest video of Minji’s solo that I’ve seen so far:
Edit: took out the TikTok vid since the YT vid is higher quality.
Day 1 Minji sings Odoriko in a sad and longing way. Day 2 she sings it in a more hopeful and cool way.
that looks grand! how they do that with lightstick? sync app?
Yep!
He’s not super ugly, but he’s not handsome either. He has too much filler and Botox in his face.
I think it didn’t help that my first introduction to him were pictures of Karina and him, and he looks like he doesn’t know how to relax his eyes. His stare makes me uncomfortable 😅
Also, I agree that they are probably still secretly dating. Sorry OP, if they break up for real, I’ll root for you to be with him 👍
Rina Sawayama and Takashi Murakami watching Hanni’s solo. TM got those grandpa dance moves lol.
I really like plastic love but I think Hanni and Minji solos are my faves so far.
