On the 8th of the month, a group of dedicated fans of New Jeans called Bunnies organized a truck protest outside of the HYBE headquarters. The purpose of this protest was to raise awareness about ethical issues within the industry, highlighting the passionate support of the fans for their beloved group.
The LED display on the trucks conveyed messages that urged introspection from HYBE, with a specific call directed towards Bang Si-hyuk, and also discouraged any actions targeting Adore.
The messages highlighted the significance of equitable treatment and upholding the worth of New Jeans in the media narrative.
Despite the ongoing controversies involving Adore CEO Min Hee-jin and HYBE, New Jeans fans have shown their support and solidarity for her. They have actively stood by her side and presented a united front in the midst of challenges faced by the industry.
New Jeans is preparing for a domestic revival with the release of their latest single ‘How Sweet’ on the 24th. However, the band’s member Hyein will have limited involvement in music broadcasts and other activities due to a foot fracture.
The demonstration by truck drivers showcases the dedicated involvement of K-pop enthusiasts in promoting equality and standing by their beloved artists during times of fluctuating conditions and obstacles within the industry.
“HYBE, pay attention to your conscience, Bang Si-hyuk, pay attention, and leave Adore alone,”
“Hybe, immediately stop the malicious media play that undermines the value of New Genes,”
“Bernie’s is not HYBE.”
