Suspicious changes occurred in NewJeans’ Naver profile today (April 26th)

At 7:20 AM on April 26th, the current profile of NewJeans on Naver no longer includes their agency affiliation.

At present, the sole content listed in NewJeans’ profile is “Another name: NewJeans.”

Despite this, the Naver profiles of artists under HYBE, including BTS, Seventeen, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT, do not have any discrepancies. Their profiles accurately state their agencies as “Big Hit Music,””Pledis,””Belift Lab,”and “Source Music,”respectively.

HYBE is the parent company of Pledis, Belift Lab, and Source Music, all of which are labels under its umbrella. Big Hit Music, the agency of BTS, was formerly known as HYBE.

Upon discovering this, netizens were just as baffled. Users from “X” (formerly known as Twitter) expressed their confusion with comments like “I noticed that NewJeans’ profile no longer displays their agency, what’s the reason for this? It’s so strange” , “When did NewJeans’ profile lose the agency label?” , “Hold on… Why is the agency label missing from NewJeans’ profile? Was it deleted or was it never there to begin with? What’s the current situation?” , “Why was NewJeans’ profile deleted from Naver?” and “I can’t believe they actually removed the agency from NewJeans’ profile. Unbelievable…” .

CEO Min held an emergency press conference on April 25th in Seocho-gu, Seoul to deny HYBE’s accusations of attempting to take over management rights.

“She denied any plan, intention, or execution of a management rights takeover.”

She reiterated her frustration, declaring, “It was not I who betrayed HYBE, but HYBE who betrayed me.”

Despite her controversial language choices, CEO Min faced backlash during her speech. Many were offended by her frequent use of profanity, including words like “gae-jussi”, which combines the Korean words for “dog”and “middle-aged man”, as well as “do-badder”, “damn”and “f*ck”.

Additionally, CEO Min disclosed NewJeans’ response upon being informed of the incident. She recounted, “The members of NewJeans are truly compassionate. As news of the incident spread, they reached out to me in the evening and tearfully expressed their apologies and sympathy.”
