it’s giving being told they’re the queen chess piece when in reality they’re pawns in someone else’s game & it’s unfortunate they’re too young to know any different or better

It's such a shame. At the top of their game, just before a major release their Creative Director gets nyxed and drags New Jeans down with her. Every decision NJ made post-departure reeked of MHJ direction. Regardless of what their relationship was like behind the scenes, it's pretty clear MHJ was using these girls as a tool to get what she wanted.

Contrary to what some of you think, I'm not siding with the label. I just think they currently have the upper hand.

All we kpop stans that are law students/lawyers have been saying this. That team's making them seem like a group of bratty teens that don't comply with the law. Them performing a few days ago without

They had no business involving themselves in the MHJ v HYBE dispute & unfortunately this is the result of that. MHJ happily used them as shields while she fades into the background. Sad but true 🤷♀️

These 5 girls have 10 parents all put together advising them as well. Their parents are the issue here too.

I am disappointed with this take by you in particular. Others saying the same sentiment I don’t really care out but I respect your opinion. Hybe has more than made their investment plus some and were not investing back into them - why should these artists go on feeling like Hybe is owed anything more? Also let’s see how the actual trial goes not this temporary injection which they are contesting btw. Also the courts ultimately require them to pay they will. They know all this.

Omg I’m actually appalled. You are the LAST person I expected to have this take. Women being ostracized in a misogynistic system yet you are blaming them for their own naivety and age?And calling them

they wanna be taken seriously but refuse to have a serious discussion w/ ador to negotiate their needs. mhj influenced them so much they think they wouldn’t survive without her.

They may be young but I think they know exactly what they are doing. Twisting the narrative and manipulate it enough that it becomes truth. Their demise is their own doing sadly.

One of the biggest and most influential girl groups of this generations absolutely failed by all the adults around them including their parents, mhj, and the big heads at hybe. It’s so sad

Company Is too permissive with New Jeans, under another agency New Jeans would be blacklisted for life

when i saw that nj was being represented by the same law firm as mhj i knew it was cooked. it’s crazy to me that they wouldn’t have their own personal lawyers that had their best interests in mind

this isn't at all what they did. they have a valid legal strategy behind the decision making. MHJ is a successful experienced executive and it's exhausting that she isn't given credit for that.

It’s making worse but at that point they don’t have any choice. If they cancel everything they might never have chance to perform as NJZ and the legal injunction temporary decision came one day before their performance.

It seems entitled instead of rebellious. That they have enough fame to get away with flaunting breaching the court order. Likely MHJ and the parents.

It is really sad that New Jeans fans think that just by seeing the reality of the situation means that you are on the side of the company.

multiple aspects of this, legally it is a bad idea, careerwise it won’t help them if they want to work with big companies. I don’t think that means their actions are immoral, I think it reflects the fact they’ve been robbed of alot of agency, in how they express themselves I think it’s perfectly understandable that they would want to do this, it comes with risk that they will have to accept. But for all we know they’ve lost the legal stuff anyways and they are trying to make the most of what they have while they have it, if not, if it was salvageable then yeah probably a bad call

Loved your insights Derrick, but I feel like you and many overlooked a crucial info: the MASSIVE and WELL-DOCUMENTED evidence that Hybe/BSH is pulling the plug on NJ, or at least altering them (1)

kami⁷ 🇻🇪 :
honestly, the moment we found out their case was being handled ONLY by MHJ's lawyers i knew it was cooked
like, even hybe/ador recommended personal/private legal counseling, but it was rejected....
reducing their intelligence by criticizing their actions as naive bc of their age while not knowing the extent of the pain they personally endured within that company for years is extremely unfair.

they've been groomed & they think mhj will unite/protect them! but she will never go out of her way to return to them if they get sued. I love newjeans. but I'll never love mhj, manipulator/groomer 💀

I think only time will tell tbh. There may be factors we are not aware of in this and generally I will support the girls regardless of whatever bad advice they may get (if it is bad advice). I do hope they come out ok because I think kpop artists should be inspired to take stands when they think it’s right regardless of their age/experience. But we’ll see.
