Min Hee Jin Refusing To Apologize To NJZ (NewJeans) Triggers Fierce Backlash

On December 4, former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin made a guest appearance on a political YouTube series associated with JTBC.

Even before the show started, malicious comments flooded the chat and comment sections.

The host asked, “You are aware that the public sentiment is bad, right?”

Before Min Hee-jin even appeared, the chat was flooded with people bad-mouthing her.

Host: You know the public sentiment isn’t very good, right?

MHJ: I don’t really feel it because people are nice to me offline, but people around me tell me, so I’m aware of it.

Host: Even… pic.twitter.com/3jRBlrXEce

Honestly, because I don’t really look at it, I only know about it because others tell me about it. But the people I meet offline all support me, so I really don’t feel it. Even a few days ago, someone asked me for my autograph on the street, but given the public sentiment, it makes me wonder why the online and offline responses are so different.

When the host asked if she had any thoughts or felt sorry towards NJZ (NewJeans), her response was clear.

Host: Do you feel sorry toward NewJeans, or what are your thoughts about them now?

Min Hee-jin: HYBE should be the one apologizing to NewJeans. pic.twitter.com/4CxykozVer
