The unexpected debate among K-netizens was sparked by the interaction between Minji, the eldest member of NewJeans, and members of TXT.
Despite being from the same parent company and being senior artists, TXT members were not greeted with a bow from Minji at a recent event. This led to accusations of the female idol ignoring the boy group, as footage of the event showed them bowing to her as a sign of respect.
Until now, this allegation has garnered significant interest on Korean forums.
Despite some arguing that Minji deliberately ignored TXT’s greeting, many believe that her actions were unintentional. It is possible that she was preoccupied with something else and simply didn’t notice their greeting, rather than intentionally snubbing them. This speculation has been fueled by the ongoing feud between ADOR and HYBE.
From what I can tell, the majority of people were standing up for Minji.
Listed below are a few remarks shared by online users:
- While interacting with Youngji, who was standing in front of TXT, she suddenly received a slogan from Hanni. This caused her to turn to Hanni. If you watch the high-quality video, you may even catch her mouthing something to Hanni.
- Why is it such a big deal that she didn’t notice TXT when it’s obvious that she was looking elsewhere? If you’re trying to cause a commotion in public, go somewhere else.
- Refusing to acknowledge a greeting can be interpreted as a sign of dislike or disregard towards the other person. However, what could possibly be Minji’s reason for doing so when the camera is clearly functioning? Are you not tired of making baseless accusations? Honestly.
- How could you characterize that as ignoring? It appears that she didn’t even realize it.
At the same event, a video of NewJeans and ILLIT meeting circulated on multiple platforms. This was the first time the two girl groups had been seen together since ILLIT’s debut in late March of this year. However, the interaction between the two groups sparked controversy, with some netizens claiming that ILLIT bowed to NewJeans but received no acknowledgement from their seniors, creating an “awkward”atmosphere.
Despite facing criticism for seemingly ignoring ILLIT, NewJeans had fans who defended them by suggesting there may have been justifiable reasons for their actions. This could be attributed to a previous accusation by Min Hee-jin, where she accused ILLIT of copying NewJeans. However, others believed that NewJeans may have been preoccupied with other matters to notice their juniors.
Despite being under the same parent company, HYBE, the feud between Ador CEO Min Hee-jin and HYBE has sparked curiosity about the current relationships between the idols under this conglomerate. This is because TXT, ILLIT, and NewJeans are all part of the HYBE family.
