Jungkook added heart emojis in colors associated with NewJeans’ “The Powerpuff Girls” theme—blue, pink, yellow, green, and purple—representing members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, respectively. This action led to speculation that Jungkook is showing indirect support for NewJeans.
This became a hot topic on online communities like Nate Pann and theqoo. Below are comments from Korean netizens.
– Whoa, he posted in support of NewJeans. As expected, Jungkook knows everything. So cool.
– I’m a Bunnie, but I’m really grateful to the HYBE idols. Even though there have been many instigating posts and fan wars lately… Jungkook showed his support with emojis, and major fan accounts of SEVENTEEN and Le Sserafim also boldly posted messages of support for NewJeans. It’s heartwarming to know that members of ILLIT and NewJeans greet each other closely… The singers maintain good relationships, which makes me feel warm and happy. While many may have been hurt in some way by this issue, it’s wonderful to see the singers supporting each other and getting along well. As a Bunnie, I’m truly thankful for Jungkook’s brave support in this difficult situation.
– In a situation where he might face retaliation from Bang, doing this is truly impressive.
– BTS has endured so much injustice over the years… Starting around 2020, HYBE blatantly started erasing BTS. I’m a fan of another group, and even I know about this. He stayed quiet, but now he’s speaking up when his company juniors are struggling. That’s really cool.
– Jungkook is usually cautious and doesn’t publicly address any issues, wow.
– No way BTS doesn’t know about this. NewJeans and BTS, fighting.
– I don’t know Jungkook well, but he’s probably cheering for NewJeans. Surprising and impressive. I hope more people support the group after this.
